Topical treatment shown to inhibit HIV and herpes simplex virus infection
Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers demonstrated that a gel applied in the vagina provides protection from both the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the herpes simplex Virus. The study, presented at the 12th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, is the first to show that a gel can retain anti-viral activity within the human vagina. The study, which was fund...Novel antiviral technology inhibits RSV infection in mice
A novel antiviral treatment combiningnanoparticle and gene silencing technologies thwarts attacks ofrespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) -- a virus associated with severebronchitis and asthma, an animal study by University of South Floridaresearchers found. The study was reported in the January 2005 issue ofthe journal Nature Medicine.RSV infects lung cells and can be life-threatening in very...HIV Patients May Be at Risk of Heart Problems When Taking Protease Inhibitor Drugs
A widely-used class of drugs that keep the HIV-virus infection from progressing to AIDS may cause serious and potentially lethal heart rhythm disturbances in some patients. The finding of a Mayo Clinic-led investigation appears in the current edition of The Lancet. In collaboration with colleagues from the HIV Program of Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis; the University of Minn...Breast Cancer May Be 'Uniquely Sensitive' To Inhibitors Of PI3K Pathway
"Because up to 75 percent of breast cancerpatients have an abnormality in a specific cell signaling pathway,drugs that target different molecules along that pathway may beespecially effective for treating the disease, says a researcher fromThe University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center." A clearer picture is now emergingabout the importance of the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase...Novel gene-silencing nanoparticles shown to inhibit Ewing's sarcoma
A novel delivery system that transports gene silencing nanoparticles into tumor cells has been shown to inhibit Ewing's sarcoma in an animal model of the disease. In this classic "Trojan horse" approach, a protein called transferrin that normally delivers iron into cells is modified to also smuggle into tumor cells siRNA (short interfering RNA) encased in nano-sized sugar polymers. The si...Mouse Anti-C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated, Clone 8F3 from AntibodyShop A/S

Description:For potent inhibition of RNase A-type ribonucleases QIAGEN RNase Inhibitor is a protein of nonhuman origin that binds noncovalently and inactivates a variety of ribonucleases (e.g., RNase A, B, and C). It does not interfere with RNase T1, T2, H, U1, U2, or CL3. QIAGEN RNase Inhibitor inhibits greater than 90% of RNase activity, whereas HPRI (human placental RNase inhibi...RNase Inhibitor from Applied Biosystems
Description:RNase Inhibitor (Ribonuclease inhibitor) is a 50 kDa recombinant enzyme used to inhibit RNase activity. It does not contain DNase or endonuclease activity....Recombinant RNasin® Ribonuclease Inhibitor from Promega
Description:Natural and Recombinant RNasin Ribonuclease Inhibitors have broad spectrum RNase inhibitory properties, including the inhibition of eukaryotic RNases of the neutral type (1). The 50kDa protein exerts its inhibitory effect by noncovalently binding to RNases in a 1:1 ratio. The Ki value for the binding of RNasin Ribonuclease Inhibitor to RNase (e.g., RNase A) is approximately 1014M (24). Promega of...GeneChoice RNA Safe Recombinant Ribonuclease Inhibitor from GeneChoice, Inc.
Description:Ribonuclease Inhibitor is a recombinant protein that has been shown to help maintain the integrity of RNA in the preparation of cDNA by reverse transcription, in vitro RNA transcription, and in vitro protein synthesis. RNA Safe Inhibitor tightly binds RNases in a 1:1 ratio. It inhibits a broad range of eukaryotic RNases such as RNase A, RNase B, RNase C, and human placental RNase. RNA Safe does...Decontamination and inhibition of ribonucleases
It is common knowledge in most laboratories that RNA is more susceptible to degradation than DNA. Unlike Deoxyribonucleases (DNases), which require metal ions for activity (and can therefore easily be inactivated with chelating agents such as EDTA), ribonucleases (RNases) have virtually no cofactor requirements and adv...Measurement of proteasome inhibition in live cells in Molecular Devices microplate fluorometers
Proteins inside eukaryotic cells exist in a dynamic state, in a highly-regulated balance between synthesis and degradation. Whereas prot...Protector RNase Inhibitor Enhance the Protection of RNA against Degradation
Is a new type of RNase inhibitor and inhibits a wide known spectrum ofRNases. Does not interfere with the performance of enzymes in an assay - evenwhen high amounts (e.g., up to 16-fold the standard concentr...Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor

An Australian study published in The New England Journal of Medicine has challenged the American ALLHAT trial that showed diuretics were superior to ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors and calcium channel blockers in controlling blood pressure. The Australian study included 6,083 people who were mostly white. Blood pressure reduction was the same in those who took a diuretic an...Tomatoes Might Inhibit the Development Of Prostate Cancer
A new study finds that lycopene is not the only compound in tomatoes that could prevent prostate cancer.Lycopene is a carotenoid in tomatoes that gives //them that familiar red color. Research has suggested lycopene could reduce the risk of prostate cancer. But it is unclear if lycopene itself is responsible for the risk reduction. Researchers from the University of Illinois studied th...Artificially made protein to inhibit angiogenesis
Researchers of Medical College of Georgia had successfully made a protein// that will stop the process of angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the abnormal growth of blood vessels that may lead to obstructed vision or growth of a tumor. The new protein, when applied to animals suffering from corneal injury or skin cancer called melanoma, reduced the blood vessel proliferation by...Identified Protein To Inhibit Cell Migration
Researchers from the University of North Carolina have identified a protein that may inhibit cellular movement, or migration. // The protein, CIB1, or calcium and integrin-binding protein 1, was originally discovered at UNC in 1997 as a blood platelet protein that may play a role in clotting. Cell migration belongs to the most rudimentary of cellular functions that allow processes su...Phase 3 trials of two multi-kinase inhibitors against cancer
Sorafenib and stutent multi-kinase inhibitors against cancer is undergoing phase 3 trials// and these two drugs gained more appreciation in this years ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) conference. This drug is gaining interest due to its multiple mechanism of action – known as Multi-kinase inhibitors. These drugs are in trial against different types of cancer and are found to b...Shoulder Subluxation Inhibitor (SSI)
