New push for public health, AIDS spending at African Union summit
Activists hope this weekend's African Union (AU) summit will net commitments to boost government spending on public health, helping to curb the spread of AIDS, which killed 2.3 million Africans in 2004. "We are definitely optimistic that this time there will be some movement, that this time there will be not just talk about an HIV strategy for the AU but how to tackle an action-oriented p...A new mechanism of regulating RNA degradation

UC Riverside researchers from the Departmentsof Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering andBotany and Plant Sciences have worked together to discover a way toutilize to uncover new knowledge about the binding of a protein at the growingpollen tube tip. This protein plays a critic...New, automated tool successfully classifies and relates proteins in unprecedented way
For the first time, researchers haveautomatically grouped fluorescently tagged proteins fromhigh-resolution images of cells. This technical feat opens a new way toidentify disease proteins and drug targets by helping to show whichproteins cluster together inside a cell.The approach, developed by Carnegie Mellon University, outperformsexisting visual methods to localize proteins inside cells...New binding target for oncogenic viral protein
The DNA tumor virus simian virus 40 produces the Large T antigen which inactivates two of the cell's most important cancer-preventing proteins, p53 and pRb. In a study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center report the discovery of an additional target for T antigen--a protein called Fbw7. The Fbw7 gene is located in a ch...New at Biology Products
Ph.D. Peptide Display Cloning System from New England Biolabs
Description:The Ph.D. Peptide Display Cloning System facilitates the display of custom peptide libraries on the surface of bacteriophage M13 as coat protein fusions, creating a physical linkage between each displayed peptide and its encoding DNA sequence. Peptide ligands for a variety of targets can then be selected by the straightforward method of biopanning. The supplied display vector M13KE is an M13 deri...Company:New England Biolabs

New Drug in Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic Neuropathy can be a painful condition which is a very agonizing nighttime pain seen in diabetics. However, new hope lies with experimental drug, memantine, which blocks NMDA receptors, which are believed to mediate pain effects in diabetic neuropathy being researched by Central Arkansas Research, Arkansas. This drug showed a definite reduction of pain compared to placebo....Well, we thought that we had antibodies for just about everything well, we have an anti-IgE antibody now for bronchial asthma. This is particularly useful in bronchial asthma where an attack can be brought by a number of noxious and non-noxious stimuli. This has also been proven to induce symptomatic relief.How does that apply to the Indian context? Well, first we can try by ridding ourse...

NEW ROBOTIC SURGERY ARM APPROVED BY FDA
FDA today cleared for marketing a robotic device that enables a surgeon to perform laparoscopic gall bladder and reflux disease surgery while seated at a console with a computer and video monitor. The surgeon can use hand grips and foot pedals on the console to control three robotic arms that can perform the surgery using a variety of surgical tools. The product, the Da Vinci Surgical Sys...New hope on the Horizon for People Wishing to Quit Smoking
Smoking is one of the most difficult addiction to give up. In an exciting research done at the University of Toronto in Canada it was found that medication called methoxsalen ( this is currently used to treat skin disorders) may help addicts who wish to give up smoking.

Monitoring Patient Glucose Levels: New Advances in software make it easier
Monitoring patient glucose levels and determining the response to intervention is critical when working with diabetic clients. The benefit of doing so in improved outcomes for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes has been clearly established by clinical trials conducted in both the U.S. and the UK1. Self- monitoring by patients of glucose levels, and the data provided is especially important for p...New Advances in Gastric Diagnostics: Smaller is Better
In recent years, miniaturization has opened up exciting possibilities in the area of gastric diagnostics. New technology may make routine GI diagnostic procedures as simple as swallowing a vitamin pill-sized encapsulated unit in the not-too-far future, and the present reality is that these units are becoming valuable adjuncts to traditional diagnostics.
