Gene therapy accelerates healing of damaged skeletal muscle
A new retrospective study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal shows that young farm children, particularly boys, are about twice as likely as the total population of young Canadian children to die from an injury. Brison and colleagues collected and analyzed Canadian data on fatal agricultural injuries to young children to determine rates, identify patterns and devise prevention str...Cellular traffic backups implicated in skeletal malformations
A defective link in the intracellular protein "transit system" may lie at the heart of some craniofacial defects, new research in zebrafish suggests. In the Sept. 17 online issue of Nature Genetics, Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers report the identification of a mutation that causes severe skeletal deformities in zebrafish by shutting down a critical protein transport pat...Skeletal Myogenesis Assay from CHEMICON
Description:CHEMICON's Skeletal Myogenesis Kit provides the reagents to efficiently differentiate mouse C2C12 myoblasts into mature skeletal myotubes. By efficiently promoting myogenic differentiation, the kit is a valuable tool in studies examining myogenesis, transcription factor regulation, and in developing strategies for muscle cell replacement therapy. By providing the means to obtain and maintain a la...Human Skeletal Muscle RACE-Ready cDNA from Ambion

A new study conducted by researchers say it is a misconception to believe vitamin D deficiency is only prevalent in older or housebound people.// Researchers examined 150 children and adults with non-specific musculoskeletal pain for their levels of vitamin D. Among the participants, all African-American, East African, Hispanic and Native American patients had vitamin D deficiencies, as...The Avanta Soft Skeletal Hand Implant System
Description:Arthritis of the hand can make simple motions such as gripping an object or turning a key painful, if not impossible. The Avanta Soft Skeletal Hand Implants can help alleviate the disabling effects of this disease. By incorporating advanced materials, extensive clinical experience, and joint-specific design features these implants offer todays hand surgeon advantages not currently available in o...Skeletal Traction Pins, Full Pin with Cove Point

Description:Cochrane Reviews enable all those involved with healthcare decisions to keep up to date with the very latest evidence in their field of interest - a challenge which becomes harder each year as the volume of evidence increases. Cochrane Reviews solve this problem by delivering the best single source available for continually updated evidence-based medical information. Each review explores the evid...Cochrane Reviews in Musculoskeletal Injuries
