UCSD researchers maintain stem cells without contaminated animal feeder layers
The growth and maintenance of human embryonic stem cells in the absence of contaminated animal products has been demonstrated by University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine researchers in the Whittier Institute, La Jolla, California. Published in the April 2005 issue of the journal Stem Cells, the study shows that laboratory culture media enriched by a human protein calle...Two chemicals boost immune cells' ability to fight HIV without gene therapy
A UCLA AIDS Institute study has discovered that two chemical compounds may help the immune systems of HIV-infected persons fight the disease without invasive gene therapy. Presented March 5 at the 2005 Palm Springs Symposium on HIV/AIDS, the new research demonstrates that the new chemicals activate telomerase -- a protein that boosts immune cells' ability to divide, enabling them to continue dest...Stem cells bring fast direct improvement, without differentiation, in acute renal failure
Acute renal failure, or ARF, is as serious as it sounds. An estimated 40% of critical care hospital admissions experience ARF. Estimates of their death rate range from 50% to 80%, complicated by the fact that patients with ARF often simultaneously suffer failure of other major organ systems. The most serious form of ARF is caused by ischemia, or loss of blood supply to the kidneys caused b...MBL researchers probe how an ancient microbe thrives and evolves without sex
A January 2004 finding by biologists at the Josephine Bay Paul Center for Comparative Molecular Biology and Evolution added important evidence to the radical conclusion that a group of diminutive aquatic animals called bdelloid rotifers have evolved for tens of millions of years without sexual reproduction, in apparent violation of the rule that abandonment of sexual reproduction is a biological...Taq DNA Polymerase, 500 U (2 x 250 U) without dNTP from Bioneer, Inc.
Description:The Polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus (strain YT1) is cloned and expressed in E. coli, then highly purified to produce Taq DNA polymerase. It is used in the amplification and sequence testing of DNA through PCR. The quality of the Taq DNA polymerase has been tested by the Activity Test, SDS-Page, Endonuclease Test, and others....Rotor for four tube-loaded buckets; ma RCF 2550g; sold without buckets from Thermo Scientific

A minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure was performed at Pittsburgh while the patient was awake. The operation was done under thoracic epidural anesthesia. This approach may help in discharging the patient early from the hospital. Dr. Zenati from the team of doctors who performed the surgery said that patients who are operated in this way may not have to go t...Radiofrequency Energy Cooks Tumors Without Surgery
Research conducted at the Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center shows that by using radiofrequency energy, doctors can now "cook" tumors without actually removing them. The non-surgical technique, used increasingly for kidney and liver cancers, can also be used on cancers elsewhere in the human body. // During radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a tiny needle is inserted into the tumor and...Treating wounds without stitches
Researchers at the University of Texas have been comparing stitching with conservative treatment (keeping the wound clean and covered) in a group of 91 patients attending the emergency room. //Doing without stitches is a less painful approach to dealing with cuts to the hand, and the wound still heals in a satisfactory way. Having a cut stitched is a painful experience - but it's generall...A Solution To Quit Smoking Without Gaining Weight
Quitting smoking means improved health, but many also gain weight. Now, new research shows a drug may help smokers successfully // target both of these problems. Researchers from the University of Cincinnati studied nearly 800 smokers. Patients received either the drug rimonabant, which goes by trade name Acomplia, or a placebo.Participants who took 20 milligrams of the drug were twice...Studying brain anatomy without surgery
Scientists at the University of Illinois developed a non-invasive diagnostic tool that can study changes occuring at the surface of the brain dur to the brain activity.This technique is based uopn near-infrared spectroscopy and is simpler to use and less expensive thatn other methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and postition emission tonography. According to Enrico G...Gas operated stool without castors
