Researchers find promising cancer-fighting power of synthetic cell-signaling molecule

Novel anti-cancer compounds called Enigmols suppress the growth of human cell lines representing cancers of the prostate, breast, colon, ovary, pancreas, brain and blood, and reduce tumors in three animal studies, new research shows. In addition, Enigmols did not show side effects at effective doses, according to the research conducted at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory Universi...

Tagging pathogens with synthetic DNA 'barcodes'

A supermarket checkout computer can identify thousands of different items by scanning the tiny barcode printed on the package. New technology developed at Cornell University could make it just as easy to identify genes, pathogens, illegal drugs and other chemicals of interest by tagging them with color-coded probes made out of synthetic tree-shaped DNA. A research group headed by Dan Luo,...

Breakthrough in micro-device fabrication combines biology and synthetic chemistry

Nanostructured micro-devices may be mass produced at a lower cost, and with a wider variety of shapes and compositions than ever before, for dramatic improvements in device performance by utilizing very small biologically produced structures. These entirely new biologically-enabled approaches are detailed in the current issue of the International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, published o...

Synthetic Protein Eases Arthritis Symptoms in Mice

A lab-made version of a human protein alleviates symptoms of both acute and chronic arthritis in mice and could be the basis for a new arthritis drug for people, report scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The protein prevents the assembly of a cell surface receptor, thus blocking transmission of chemica...

New Study Will The Look Into The Effects Of Synthetic Steroids

Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have begun a study project to look into the effects of using synthetic steroids to prevent premature babies//. Premature infants frequently suffer health problems because their lungs are not fully developed. Currently the best treatments are to give the mother synthetic steroids and to prolong the pregnancy for as long as pos...

Synthetic protein found to relieve arthritis symptoms in animal model

A synthetic version of a human protein has been found to alleviate symptoms associated with acute and chronic arthritis in mice, which could be the basis for developing a new drug for the disease, according to researchers. // The protein has been found to function by blocking the transmission of chemical signals associated with development of arthritis symptoms. The idea that the pro...

Synthetic Bone Tissue Could Be the Answer to Disfigurement Caused by Oral Cancer

Oral and pharyngeal cancers are by far the leading cancers in the world today. The problem is that these are not discovered until too late and thus the treatment, which includes radiation and surgery, involves // sacrificing a large amount of tissue leading to disfigurement. Now two Virginia Tech researchers are collaborating with the American Dental Association (ADA) to build "a tissu...

A Synthetic Molecule Instigates Cancer Cells To Self-Harm

Scientists have devised a method to outwit cancer cells and instigate them to self-harm, ultimately causing death of cancer cells. This novel discovery could unlock reliable// treatments for cancer. This discovery works on the known principle that involves the activation of the body’s many defenses, to check the abnormal growth of cells; the way to achieve this is to get the faulty...

Synthetic DNA Makes Better Hydrogels for Drug Delivery

Using synthetic DNA formed into crosses, Y's and T's, Cornell researchers have created biocompatible, biodegradable//, inexpensive hydrogels that can be easily formed into any desired shape for biomedical applications. Hydrogels are liquid or semisolid materials composed of long-chain molecules cross-linked to one another to create many small empty spaces that can absorb water or other...
