Growth in the sea comes down to a struggle for iron
Scientists know that injecting iron into some major regions of the oceans can stimulate the growth of diatoms and other phytoplankton, but something odd occurs as these tiny marine plants continue to grow. They begin to starve in the midst of plenty, acting as though iron, an essential nutrient, still is in short supply. Why this happens is unclear, but the answer could be that iron sets off a ki...Plants, animals share molecular growth mechanisms
A newly discovered plant protein complex that apparently switches on plants' growth machinery, has opened a scientific toolbox to learn about both plant and animal development, according Purdue University scientists. The protein complex triggers communication between molecules along a pathway that leads to the creation of long protein strings, called actin filaments, that are necessary fo...U-M scientists find genes that control growth of common skin cancer
Scientists at the University of Michigan'sComprehensive Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute haveidentified genes that promote the growth and recurrence of skin cancer.Andrzej Dlugosz, M.D., a professor of dermatology in the U-M MedicalSchool, and colleagues at the University of Michigan and the NationalCancer Institute examined the functions of the Hedgehog (Hh) signalingpathway...Deficiency of growth hormone and IGF-1 reduces cancer and kidney disease, but creates other problems
Deficiencies of growth hormone and similar compounds may reduce cancer and kidney disease late in life, but also may lead to cartilage degeneration and impaired memory and learning ability, according to research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and four other institutions. The researchers used a rat model to explore the effects of growth hormone and another compound, IGF-1...Estrogen-like Component of Plastic Stimulates Growth of Certain Prostate Cancer Cells
An estrogen-like chemicalcommonly used to synthesize plastic food containers has been shown toencourage the growth of a specific category of prostate cancer cell,potentially affecting the treatment efficacy for a subset of prostatecancers.According to a study published in the January 1 issue of CancerResearch, such prostate cancer cells proved to be vulnerable toexposure to the chemical BP...Sheep Growth Hormone from Cell Sciences

A group of business investors and government representatives have suggested a series of changes to Wisconsin Act 255 that was enacted to stimulate investments in high-growth industries. Their suggestions were made to a state Senate committee on Wednesday. For more on that hearing, read: Regulations still stymie business investment in high-growth compa...Regulations still stymie business investment in high-growth companies

Scientists have identified a growth factor that triggers blood vessel formation within the endocrine glands. In California, Dr. Jennifer of Genentech Inc. and colleagues reported their discovery of endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor, or EG-VEGF. The finding could lead the way toward treatment for illnesses affecting these glands. The endocrine glands produce various hormon...Anthrax drug doxycycline could stunt fetal growth
The government warned doctors that doxycycline -- an antibiotic being prescribed to people who may have been exposed to anthrax -- can stunt fetal growth when taken by pregnant women. Instead, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged doctors to prescribe Cipro to pregnant women. The recommendation comes as health officials worry that Cipro is being overprescribed in the general popula...Anti-Cancer Drug Restores Normal Cell Growth
An experimental anti-cancer drug has shown effectiveness in treating a resistant type of lymphoma, according to a new report. Researchers say the drug probably acts on many types of cancer cells, so it may be useful for treating other types of cancer. Dr. Antonio Fojo of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues tested the drug, depsipeptide//, in patients with T-cell ly...Zinc may enhance growth in Young sickle cell patients
Sickle cell disease, sometimes called sickle cell anemia, is a hereditary condition that causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped, which makes it difficult// for the cells to pass through the bloodstream to deliver oxygen to the body's tissues. Young sickle cell patients who are having delays in their growth and maturation may benefit from supplemental zinc, a mineral essential for growth a...IGF-1 EIA Endocrine Function 026-AC-27F1 Insulin Growth Factor
Description:Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a polypeptide of 70 amino acids (7650 daltons), and is one of a number of related insulin-like growth factors present in the circulation. The molecule shows approximately 50% sequence homology with proinsulin and has a number of biological activities similar to insulin. The peptide is growth hormone (GH) dependent to a high degree, but there is growing evid...Human Growth Hormone EIA Endocrine Function 025-BC-1033
