Cancer vaccines -- Taking a jab at cancer by stimulating the immune system
As the first FDA-approved cancer vaccine, designed to protect against human papillomavirus, has moved from scientific discussion to social debate, other vaccine studies are continuing to make progress. While HPV vaccine efforts had the "benefit" of a viral source for the disease, other researchers are developing vaccines for cancers that are not virally based, in an effort to coax the immune syst...How appetite-stimulating brain cells work overtime during fasting
During periods of fasting, brain cells responsible for stimulating the appetite make sure that you stay hungry. Now, a new study of mice reported in the January issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press, reveals the complex series of molecular events that keep those neurons active. The researchers revealed a link between active thyroid hormone in the brain and increase...Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor, Unconjugated from PeproTech

It's a condition that most people prefer not to talk about, yet sufferers will go to extremes to find help for this embarrassing problem. It's called overactive bladder (OAB) and it's characterized by a sudden and unstoppable need to urinate, sometimes causing urine leakage. Now, to reduce the symptoms of OAB, an Emory Crawford Long Hospital urologist is using nerve stimulation in...FSH EIA Reproductive Markers 025-BC-1029 Follicle Stimulating Hormone

Description:Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is intimately involved in the control of the growth and reproductive activities of the gonadal tissues, which synthesize and secrete male and female sex hormones. The levels of circulating FSH is controlled by these sex hormones through a negative feedback relationship. The FSH Quantitative Test Kit is based on the principle of a solid phase enzyme-linked im...Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Enzyme Immunoassay Test Kit
Description:The BioCheck FSH EIA Test is based on the principle of a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The assay system utilizes mouse monoclonal anti-FSH for solid phase (microtiter wells) immobilization, and sheep anti-alpha FSH in the antibody-enzyme (horseradish eroxidase) conjugate solution....Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Urine
