Measuring Enzymes At End Of Cancer Pathway Predicts Outcome Of Tarceva, Taxol
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have developed a way to test whether the new targeted therapy Tarceva and the widely used chemotherapy drug Taxol are effectively killing tumor cells. They say that with further refinement, the test may make it possible to accurately assess whether patients are responding to these agents, as well as potentially others, within day...'Bad' enzymes may wear white hats after stroke
Enzymes that can harm the brain immediately after a stroke may actually be beneficial days later, according to new research. Insights from the study could change the way stroke is treated, extending the window for effective treatment from a couple of hours to a couple of weeks. The results may suggest new ideas for drug development. Working with rats, a team from the Harvard Medical Schoo...New understanding of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes could revise classification of pain meds
COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes may be blocked by pain medications such as Advil and Vioxx in a more complex manner than was previously understood, a Queen's University study has found. "The results of the study have potential implications for how we classify the commonly used anti-inflammatory and pain drugs for aches, pains, and fever," says Colin Funk, a professor of Biochemistry and Physiology...Scientists identify specific enzymes that make meningitis hard to fight
Two enzymes in meningitis bacteria which prevent the body from successfully fighting off the disease, and make the infection extremely virulent, have been identified in new research published today. The study found that the two enzymes - which have distinct functions - work together to hamper the body's efforts to fight off the disease. Together they repair damage done to the meningitis b...Bulk Enzymes/Bulk Proteins from Molecular Biology Resources

It has always been stated time and again that smoking is injurious to health. The maximum harm by smoking is on the respiratory system. The effects of smoking may be understood by the effect it has upon a key enzyme in the // lungs. Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) is important in mood regulation and breaking down compounds that help to regulate blood pressure. In a new study, researchers at...Bad Enzymes Found To Enable Brain Recovery Following Stroke
The same enzymes that cause brain damage following an acute attack of stroke could be beneficial some time later. This finding perhaps highlights that effective treatment // of stroke could be possible if administered few weeks following the stroke, instead of the treatment within couple of hours following stroke. Additionally, it could open avenues for the development of novel stroke treatment s...New Role of COX Enzymes Discovered
Recent research has revealed that the COX enzymes interact physically in a biochemical partnership as well as function in the development of blood vessels. // The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Queen's University, Ontario, Canada and reported in the online edition of Nature Medicine. The COX enzymes are well-known for their c...Immune System Gears Up by Specific Enzymes
St. Jude study shows LAG-3 protein on activated T lymphocytes slows replication until // ADAM10 and ADAM17 enzymes cleave it off to allow these cells to reproduce rapidly. The complex task of launching a well-organized, effective immune system attack on specific targets is thrown into high gear when either of two specific enzymes chop a protein called LAG-3 off the immune cells leadin...Study Attributes Elevated Liver Enzymes in HIV/hepatitis to Coinfection Rather Than Antiretrovirals
Many HIV/hepatitis coinfected individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) experience liver enzyme elevation (LEE), and for that reason,// caution is generally advised when prescribing ART in this population. Results from the ICoNA (Italian Cohort of Na?ve for Antiretrovirals) study indicate that coinfection itself may be the major risk factor for LEE. The study investigated whether c...ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE ISOENZYMES Control
