Antibody extends life of mice with breast cancer

A monoclonal antibody developed by researchers at the University at Buffalo has been shown to extend significantly the survival of mice with human breast-cancer tumors and to inhibit the cancer's spread to the lungs in the animals by more than 50 percent. The antibody, named JAA-F11, targets a particular disaccharide, an antigen known as TF-Ag, which aids the adhesion and spread of certain...

Single molecule extends fat mice lives by reversing gene pathways associated with disease in obese

Researchers have used a single compound to increase the lifespan of obese mice, and found that the drug reversed nearly all of the changes in gene expression patterns found in mice on high calorie diets--some of which are associated with diabetes, heart disease, and other significant diseases related to obesity.

Treatment Extends Survival in Mouse Model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Drug therapy can extend survival and improve movement in a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), new research shows. The study, carried out at the NIH’s National// Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), suggests that similar drugs might one day be useful for treating human SMA. "This study shows that treatment can be effective when started after the disease ap...

Caloric Restriction in Non-obese People Extends Life Span

Caloric Restriction in non-obese people too is not without benefits. Caloric Restriction causes less oxidative damage in muscle cells which delays// aging and extends life span. This new study was conducted by Anthony Civitarese, Eric Ravussin, and colleagues (Pennington Biomedical Research Center).Oxidative damage has been linked to aging, and this could explain how limiting calorie...

Vitamin Extends Life in Yeast, Dartmouth Medical School Researchers Find

Hanover, NH--Imagine taking a vitamin for longevity! Not yet, but a Dartmouth discovery that a cousin of niacin prolongs lifespan in yeast brings// the tantalizing possibility a step closer.
