Gov't Creates Gene Database of Normal Human Tissues

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, have built the largest open-source database for normal tissue from human organs. Scientists searching for genes that go awry and cause disease can use the NCI database as a crucial point of reference because it pinpoints which genes are expressed in many of the body's major organs under normal conditions, wit...

Gene therapy may protect normal tissues during radiation retreatment for lung cancer

Tool developed to silence genes in specific tissues using RNAi

Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center say they have jumped a significant hurdle in the use of RNA interference (RNAi), believed by many to be the ultimate tool to both decode the function of individual genes in the human genome and to treat disease. Reporting in the journal Genes and Development, investigators have developed a simple way to use the RNAi appro...

Bone marrow stem cells may help repair cardiac tissues

Two new studies, though small, have boosted confidence in a method used to repair cardiac tissues damaged by a heart attack. Researchers have found that stem cells derived from bone marrow which is much less controversial than embryo cells// helps patients who have had a heart attack and had undergone conventional bypass therapy. Doctors in eastern Germany found that when patients who...

Growing tissues

A new breakthrough a cell in adults that can turn into every single tissue in the body has been discovered.Until now, it was thought that only embryonic stem cells could do this. Work is in the embryo stage but efforts are now being made to turn the adult cells into tissues such as muscle, cartilage and brain cells, which can be transplanted back into the patient.// Ihor Lemischka of...

Adult Stem Cells From Fat Tissues For Healing

It is now possible to extract adult stem cells from adipose or fatty tissues to heal wounds that can save lives. International scientists will announce findings from a significant number of studies showing that adult stem cells from adipose tissue could eventually be used to treat injured or damaged tissues.// They will present their research findings at the third annual International...

A Novel Method For Measuring Interstitial Fluid Pressure In Cancer Tissues

In normal subcutaneous tissue, the interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) is negative, and so, when the subcutaneous tissue of an animal is exposed, fluid does not seep out. //By contrast, IFP is often increased in tumor tissue and forms a barrier against efficient drug delivery into the tumor. Many anticancer drugs and antibodies used for treating patients with cancer are transported from t...

UCLA Researchers Transform Stem cells From Fat tissues Into Smooth Muscle

Researchers from the David Geffen School of Medicine and the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science at UCLA have announced today to have successfully// transformed adult stem cells taken from human adipose, or fat tissue into smooth muscle cells, which help the normal function of a large number of organs like the intestine, bladder and arteries. The researchers announ...
