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...NJIT Presidential Award winner takes stem cell research another step
Treena Arinzeh, a young professor who last year won a Presidential Award, the nation's highest scientific honor, is bringing the promise of stem cell research one step closer to reality. Arinzeh, PhD, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at NJIT, is researching the use of stem cells to induce bone repair. Her research will help diabetics whose impaired bones will not properly heal...Gene therapy for Parkinson's disease moves forward in animals

Chemists say they have identified a gene that appears to play a key role in the development of type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, a disease that affects about one million people in the U.S. and is on the rise worldwide. They described their findings, which they say could lead to new drug interventions and possibly gene therapy, today at the 229th national meeti...Love's all in the brain: fMRI study shows strong, lateralized reward, not sex, drive
You just can't tell where you might find love these days. A team led by a neuroscientist, an anthropologist and a social psychologist found love-related neurophysiological systems inside a magnetic resonance imaging machine. They detected quantifiable love responses in the brains of 17 young men and women who each described themselves as being newly and madly in love. The multidisciplinary...DHFR-1 FP-1 Forward Sequencing Primer from EPICENTRE Biotechnologies

Description:These primers are designed for sequencing inserts cloned into M13/pUC-based plasmids, plasmids containing the SP6, T7, or T3 RNA polymerase promoters, or lambda gt10 and gt11 vectors. They are supplied at a concentration of 0.1 µg/µl in water. The primers are functionally tested in DNA sequencing reactions using SequiTherm EXCEL II DNA Polymerase with an end-labeled primer p...Anti-Potassium Channel, Inward Rectifier Kir4.1 Polyclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from CHEMICON
Description:Recognizes Kir4.1. The epitope does not share homology with any other known proteins.SPECIES REACTIVITIES: The antibody is also expected to work with mouse and human due to sequence homology. Other species have not been tested....Anti-Potassium Channel, Inward Rectifier Kir2.1 Polyclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from CHEMICON
Description:Recognizes Kir2.1 protein. The epitope is specific for Kir2.1 and is not present in any other known protein.SPECIES REACTIVITIES: The immunogen sequence is identical in rabbit, bovine, porcine and guinea pig. It is highly homologous in rat and mouse (17/19 residues) and chick (15/19 residues). Other species have not been tested....CEOs Gone Wild? Risks and rewards in the executive suite

Appropriate usage of allium derivatives from garlic may potentially play a role in the maintenance of optimal cardiac function, according to a review published in a recent issue of Nutrition in Clinical Care. The researchers looked at studies investigating the effect of garlic on risk factors for heart disease. Several studies suggest that garlic may lower total cholesterol, LDL ("bad") c...Award for TTK Chitra heart valve prosthesis
TTK Healthcare and Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Science and Technology have bagged theNational award for successful commercialization of indigenous technology 2001 for developing artificial heart valve prosthesis.It is a tilting disc valve design incorporating a metallic housing, which is integrally machined from a cobalt based wrought alloy. The circular disc inside is made of ul...Unravelling the secrets of ‘Huntingtin’ Protein - towards the treatment of ‘Huntingtons’ Disase
Huntingtons disease is an inherited disease of the nervous system due to the progressive gradual deterioration of the same, initially causing symptoms such as involuntary movements and balance problems and later on leading to declination of functions of speech as well. All these days, until now, it was thought that this disease is due to a mutated form of the protein 'huntingtin' which i...Unravelling the secrets of ‘Huntingtin’ Protein - towards the treatment of Huntingtins’ Disese
