New research demonstrates bone-marrow derived stem cells can reverse genetic kidney disease

The discovery that bone-marrow derived stem cells can regenerate damaged renal cells in an animal model of Alport syndrome provides a potential new strategy for managing this inherited kidney disease and offers the first example of how stem cells may be useful in repairing basement membrane matrix defects and restoring organ function. Led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Ce...

Plant-derived vaccines safeguard against deadly plague

Through an innovative feat of plant biotechnology and vaccine design, researchers in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University have successfully turned tobacco plants into vaccine production factories to combat the deadliest form of plague. The vaccine elicits a protective immune response in guinea pigs. The results are considered to be a milestone in the future development of a new vac...

Heparin prepared synthetically could replace animal-derived drug

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered an alternative way to produce heparin, a drug commonly used to stop or prevent blood from clotting. The findings could enable the current supply of the drug ?now extracted from animal tissue ?to be replaced or supplemented by the synthetic version. The new process also can be applied as...

Marijuana-Derived Drug Promises Hope In Treating Bladder Infection

Interstitial cystitis is primarily a disease of middle-aged women and is characterized by recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder and surrounding pelvic region. Symptoms vary and can include a combination of mild to severe pain, pressure and tenderness in the bladder and pelvic area; and an urgent and/or frequent need to urinate. // Additionally, the bladder wall may become scarred o...

Stem Cell Bank In UK Would Require 150 Embryo-Derived Stem Cell Lines

A results of a study conducted in Britain to project stem cell requirements for the establishment of a therapeutic stem cell bank has concluded that approximately 150 embryo-derived stem cell lines would// be required to support the functioning on a daily basis. Britain, South Korea and the United States represent countries where intensive stem cell research is being carried out. The...

Muscle Derived Stem Cell Can Repair Damaged Cartilage

Researchers have now unraveled the potential of stem cells in the repair and treatment of damaged cartilage. It is now possible to harvest stem cells from muscle tissue // of injured rats and genetically engineer the same to induce expression of a therapeutic protein (bone morphogenetic protein 4, BMP-4, capable of repairing damaged cartilage. It is possible that such a repair mechanism c...

Sedatives Derived From Chemicals Can Make Elderly Nervous

Chemical-based sedatives, which are used for calming the nervous, can act otherwise leading to nervousness among children and older people. // Substances like diphenhydramine, which can be purchased without a prescription, often create this paradox, says Ursula Sellerberg, spokeswoman for the Federal Organization of German Pharmacists Association (ABDA) in Berlin. Diazepam...

Bladder Pain Suppressed By Marijuana-Derived Drug

IP 751, a derivative of Marijuana has been found to suppress bladder pain associated with interstitial cystitis (IC) in animal models//. The synthetic drug is a analog of a metabolite of THC, the principal component of marijuana. The results of the new study presented at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association highlights that the drug can be used in the treatment of hype...
