Gene Therapy For Parkinson's Disease Moves Forward In Animals
An international team of scientists has used gene therapy in two separate studies to renew brain cells and restore normal movements in monkeys and rats with a drug-induced form of Parkinson's disease. The research, detailed online in the scientific publications Brain and The Journal of Neuroscience, essentially describes one strategy to halt Parkinson's disease at its onset and another st...Scientists discover that host cell lipids facilitate bacterial movement
When the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes invades the body, it commandeers its host cell's actin cytoskeleton to invade other cells. In a report published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, a group of scientists provide insight into the molecular mechanisms behind this infection technique. The research appears as the "Paper of the Week" in the March 25 issue of the Journal of Biologic...Family trees of ancient bacteria reveal evolutionary moves
A geomicrobiologist at Washington University in St. Louis has proposed that evolution is the primary driving force in the early Earth's development rather than physical processes, such as plate tectonics. Carrine Blank, Ph.D., Washington University assistant professor of geomicrobiology in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences in Arts & Sciences, studying Cyanobacteria ?bac...Gene therapy for Parkinson's disease moves forward in animals

In the first field trial of plants genetically tweaked to absorb more contaminants, researchers found that the transgenic plants handily beat out their wild-type counterparts. The results raised hopes that the plants might become a viable alternative for cleaning up polluted soil. The new research findings, published Feb. 1 in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, show that th...Move over B2B, B2C -- it's M2E time
No more demands to buy large inventories. No middle layers, no costly structures, no bureaucracies and no extra hoards of people or any unneces...DNA-free A NEW Method to Remove DNA
Now it's easy to make your RNA free of genomic DNA contamination and ready for RT-PCR. DNA- DNase Treatment & Removal Reagents contain RNase-free DNase, and an optimized DNase digestion buffer, to ensure safe, complete removal of contaminating DNA from any RNA sample. Also included is a unique...The Fastest, Simplest, and Most Effective Way to Remove DNA Contamination
Orders of magnitude better DNA removal than with wild type DNase I Perform DNA digestion and sample clean-up in just 20 minutes DNase treatment is the method of choice for...UW System must remove barriers to innovation

The decision by 39 pharmaceutical companies to drop a historic case in South Africa has far-reaching consequences for India and other developing countries, according to leading non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The 39 companies had challenged a South African government order that legalized use and import of generic medicines free from patents. The pharmaceutical companies, which inc...Virus Helps Remove Brain Cancer
Researchers at University of Texas have tested a novel "viral smart bomb" therapy that can completely eradicate brain tumors in mice, while leaving normal brain tissue alone. The Delta-24-RGD therapy, becomes the first treatment for the deadliest brain cancer, the malignant glioma. It is a new-generation "replication-competent oncolytic" adenovirus therapy in which a therapeutic virus spr...Understanding The Link Between Movement And Metabolism
In a recent study researchers studied comparative energetics of both lean and obese adults to discover how everyday movements affect // metabolism. Results showed that NEAT -- non-exercise activity thermogenesis , creates a more effective metabolism than standard organized exercise. Researchers say calories people burn during everyday activities are more important than previously thought....Fetal Cell Transplant Found To Improve Movement In Patients With Parkinson’s Disease
Latest research shows that fetal cell transplantation for patients with Parkinson’s disease is helping some patients get rid of their medications altogether.// Parkinson’s disease is a chronic neurological disease that impairs mobility. Patients with Parkinson’s lack the chemical dopamine, which is necessary for movement. Fetal cell transplantation involves transplanting aborted human f...OSCAR Ultrasonic Bone Cement Remover
Description:OSCAR ulitizes ultrasonic waves to remove bone cement speedily and efficiently. The oscillating tip of the probe liquifies the cement at the point of contact, allowing it to be removed in minutes. A special feature of the apparatus is its ability to recognize bone on contact and to signal this to the operator instantly. Probe position can thus be changed immediately, avioding da...APPOSE (Single Use Skin Staple Remover)
Description:The Appose Single Use Skin Staple Remover is a plastic with metal tip extractor design that is packaged 12 units per box and is used to remove skin staples. The device works by slipping the lower jaws of the extractor under the staple to be removed. The device unbends the staple....PREMIUM™ (Single Use Skin Staple Remover)
Description:The Premium™ Extractor is a plastic with metal tip extractor that incorporates a spring loaded handle design and is used to remove skin staples. The device works by slipping the lower jaws of the extractor under the staple to be removed. The device unbends the staple. The Premium™ extractor features a spring-loaded handle that automatically returns the handle and ja...Callisto Intends to Move Guanilib into Clinical Trials in Ulcerative Colitis
