Estrogen-like Component of Plastic Stimulates Growth of Certain Prostate Cancer Cells
An estrogen-like chemicalcommonly used to synthesize plastic food containers has been shown toencourage the growth of a specific category of prostate cancer cell,potentially affecting the treatment efficacy for a subset of prostatecancers.According to a study published in the January 1 issue of CancerResearch, such prostate cancer cells proved to be vulnerable toexposure to the chemical BP...New component of the 'brakes' on nerve regeneration found
Among the principal obstacles to regenerating spinal cord and brain cells after injury is the "braking" machinery in neurons that prevents regeneration. While peripheral nerves have no such machinery and can readily regenerate, central nervous system (CNS) neurons have their brakes firmly in place and locked. Now, two groups of scientists have independently found a new component of that b...Gap-climbing fruit flies reveal components of goal-driven behaviors
Like humans, other animals are faced with everyday obstacles in their physical environments and must engage appropriate decision-making and motor skills to deal with them. Navigating these obstacles can involve highly complex events in mammals and other vertebrates, but in new work, researchers have employed an ingenious obstacle-based system for studying the control and structure of goal-oriente...Solexa and collaborating scientists illuminate the small RNA component of the transcriptome
Solexa, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLXA) today announced that its researchers in collaboration with the Delaware Biotechnology Institute and the University of Delaware reported the most comprehensive analysis to date of the small RNA component of the transcriptome. The research, "Elucidation of the Small RNA Component of the Transcriptome," was published in the September 2, 2005 issue of the peer-reviewed jou...Mouse Anti-Polio component type I Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated, Clone 9B4 from AntibodyShop A/S

The macular region of the human retina is responsible for almost all color vision and most of the high resolution visual acuity. This part of the retina, known as the macula lutea, or yellow spot, accumulates approximately 200 ng of two closely-related compounds, lutein and zeaxanthin....Modine explores making components for fuel cell vehicles
The parts are for use in the Touran HyMotion, the automotive company's new hybrid vehicle. Modine's mass heat transfer and humidifying com...Eye colour is a component in cataract
According to some researchers, people with brown eyes are at increased dangerof developing cataracts than those with blue eyes. Australian researchers have evaluated the eye health of 3004 people aged 50 or above.// Five years on, they reviewed which, of the 2,224 still alive, had developed cataract. Anyone who lives long enough will experience cataract, as the proteins within the eye lens start...A Component In Milk May Help Control Inflammatory Diseases
Milk is known as a complete liquid food. A component in milk has been linked with decrease inflammatory disease. One of the isomers of conjugated linoleic acid, a group of fatty acids found in milk, //is a natural regulator of the COX-2 protein, which plays a significant role in inflammatory disease such as arthritis and cancer, according to a study published by University of Wisconsin-Madiso...Spread of Breast Cancer can be stopped by a component in Turmeric
According to a study, curcumin, the major ingredient of turmeric and the compound that gives curry its mustard-yellow// colour, inhibits the spread of breast cancer to the lungs in mice. The study can be further investigated in human subjects. The study, funded by the United States Department of Defence and conducted by researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer centre,...Key component of sunscreen heals sunburn and prevents skin cancer
Those who suffer from sunburn could stand to benefit immensely from a new sunscreen component, that is capable of healing sun burnt skin and can protect against skin// cancer. This research is published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. The new component of the sunscreen lotion works by releasing an active ingredient that actually absorbs the iron, which is released when...Chemotherapy increases the demand for blood components
The rise in the number of chemotherapy patients has increased the demand for blood components. Hence more people are requested to donate platelets.// According to the Irish Blood Transfusion Service and the Irish Cancer Society (ICS), in the last 5 years, there is a 50% increase in the demand for blood components due to the growing number of new cancer cases. This need can be met by o...Ascent Primary Knee System - Ascent primary interlock femoral components.
