WHO Warns Of Increased Risk Of Vector-borne Diseases In Tsunami-affected Areas
The World Health Organization (WHO) warned about increased risk of vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever across tsunami-affected areas in Southeast Asia. Nearly four weeks after the disaster struck the region on 26 December, the organization is strengthening its disease surveillance, stagnant water conditions creating conditions for mosquito vectors to multiply to sufficient leve...The insect vector always bites twice
The reality of the threat from vector-borne diseases has been recognized and the problem is prompting research scientists to take a strong interest. Most of these infections, classified as emerging or re-emerging diseases, are linked to ecosystem changes, climatic variations or pressure from human activities. Malaria, sleeping sickness and so on lead to the death of millions of people in the w...pMIR-mU6-Luc, Mouse U6 Luciferase Control Vector from Mirus Bio Corporation
Description:The potential applications for the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules to silence gene expression via the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway have generated tremendous interest in the cellular and molecular biology fields. siRNA for experimental use can be synthesized in vitro, either chemically or enzymatically, and then transfected into the target cells in vitro or in vivo.

Stratagene Stratagene has developed a series of epitope-tagging vectors to expressand functionally analyze eukaryotic genes in the budding yeast Saccharomyce...Gene-Nanoparticle Gene Transfer Is Better Than Viral Vector Transfer System
Nanoparticles can be used in gene therapy to transfer therapeutic genes in to brain cells //and helps in studying genetic mechanism of brain diseases. Gene-nanoparticle complexes developed by scientists at the University of Buffalo, has proved to deliver therapeutic genes directly into the brains of living mice, the transfer rate is comparatively higher to transfer rates of viral vecto...Therapeutic Genes Transferred By Viral Vector Through T Cell Masking
Dr. Richard Vile, Mayo Clinic Molecular Immunologist and his team has found a new virus based gene therapy delivery system for the treatment of cancer, inflammation and autoimmune diseases. The new delivery system acts as a “T // cell Therapeutic hitchhiker”, by which the Therapeutic virus containing the required genes are transferred into the T cells in the immune system, as the T cells are the...Micro VECTOR™ Drill Guide System
