FDA Approves New Drug to Treat Type I and Type II Diabetes
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today approved Symlin, an injectable medicine to control blood sugar for adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Symlin is to be used in addition to insulin therapy in patients who cannot achieve adequate control of their blood sugars on intensive insulin therapy alone. Symlin will be the only therapy for the treatment of type 1 diabetes other than in...Chemists identify key gene in development of type 1 diabetes
Chemists say they have identified a gene that appears to play a key role in the development of type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, a disease that affects about one million people in the U.S. and is on the rise worldwide. They described their findings, which they say could lead to new drug interventions and possibly gene therapy, today at the 229th national meeti...UCSD research reveals mechanism involved with type of fatal epilepsy
Researchers at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have found that Lafora disease, an inherited form of epilepsy that results in death by the age of 30, can be caused by mutations in a gene that regulates the concentration of the protein laforin. These findings are reported in the current issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Lafora disease is characterize...Mouse Anti-Polio component type I Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated, Clone 9B4 from AntibodyShop A/S

Description:Liquid. In 100 mM KCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM DTT, 200 µM EDTA, 20% glycerol, pH 7.9. AVOID FREEZE/THAW CYCLES. Human DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I) is a monomeric protein of 765 amino acids encoded by a single-copy gene. It catalyzes the relaxation of both positive and negative supercoiled DNAs without the requirement of energy. In addition to DNA replication...Buckets for 2 racks of 5 tubes, type Stago/Hitachi from Thermo Scientific

Dmitriy Ovcharenko, Rich Jarvis, Kevin Kelnar, David Brown, Ambion, Inc. RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful experimental tool for reducing the expression of specific genes. It...Electrophoretic Karyotypes of Wine Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Contributed by Alan T. Bakalinsky Department of Food Science and Technology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331-6602 Chromosomal profiles of wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were compared to those of a standard laboratory karyotype. Qualitative analysis supported previous genetic...Emerging game developer begins work on prototypes

A prototype handheld detector under development at Sandia National Laboratories can identify the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) of anthrax in less than five minutes. //Sandia's Laboratory Directed Research and Development program supported the work. Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin company, for the U.S. Department of Energy. Fatty a...Periodontal disease may amass the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes
Study results from the Marquette University School of Dentistry suggest chronic periodontal disease may increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.//The research ties the incidence of diabetes in patients with periodontal disease to the release of bacteria into the bloodstream that triggers a reaction from the immune system. Immune system cells can release proteins called cytok...A way to slow the progression of Type 1 Diabetes
According to new research, a new drug that suppresses the immune system may slow the progression of type 1 diabetes. An early-phase clinical trial of 10 people aged 8 to 35 years with type 1 diabetes were treated with anti-CD3 mAb, a modified antibody.// A 14-day course of the drug appeared to slow the progressive decline in insulin production commonly seen in type 1 diabetics. Patient...Celiac Disease in Type 1 Diabetes
According to researchers, a new study shows a strong connection between celiac disease and diabetes. American researchers report the prevalence of celiac disease in people with type 1 diabetes is about 25 times higher than in those without diabetes. Doctors have uncovered a new finding for diabetics.// Celiac disease is a condition in which the absorption of food nutrients through the...Pancreas transplant gives hope to type 2 diabetes
A new hope for patients with type 2 diabetes. According to a new survey, they showed that a few patients with type 2 diabetes have been selected for a pancreas transplant.// Obesity is a strong risk factor for type 2 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. In type 2 diabetes, the body develops a resistance to insulin, usually...Weil Type Swanson Design Hammertoe Implant

Description:This unique system uses prolene as thread-guide reducing time and trauma in lacrimal duct intubation. The hollow Ritleng Probe is inserted into the nasolacrimal duct and a thin prolene thread-guide is fed through it. The probe is then withdrawn leaving the polypropylene thread to pull the silicone tubing in place. Newly coated with a thin Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coating that makes the surface...Self-Threading MONOKA (Fayet-Bernard Ritleng Type, 3 mm COLLARETTE)
