Biology & Biochemistry: Identification Of Stem Cells That Repair Injured Muscles Has Important Implications For Muscular Dystrophy
http://biologybiochemistry.blogspot.com/2011/10/identification-of-stem-cells-that.html
Среда, 12 октября 2011 г. Identification Of Stem Cells That Repair Injured Muscles Has Important Implications For Muscular Dystrophy. A University of Colorado at Boulder research team has identified a type of skeletal muscle stem cell that contributes to the repair of damaged muscles in mice, which could have important implications in the treatment of injured, diseased or aging muscle tissue in humans, including the ravages of muscular dystrophy. This research shows how satellite cells can maintain their...

Biology & Biochemistry: Minor Genetic Differences Between Individuals Change The Effect Of A Common Medication, Study Shows
http://biologybiochemistry.blogspot.com/2011/10/minor-genetic-differences-between.html
Понедельник, 3 октября 2011 г. Minor Genetic Differences Between Individuals Change The Effect Of A Common Medication, Study Shows. This is a first step towards personalized medicine that is based not only on symptoms but also on the patient's own genetic 'baggage,'" Rozen said. "This trend definitely represents the medicine of the future.". This release is available in French. This study was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the U.S. National Institutes of Health (N...Подпи...

Biology & Biochemistry: New $1.16 Million Study Investigates How Dietary Iron Is Used By Cells
http://biologybiochemistry.blogspot.com/2011/10/new-116-million-study-investigates-how.html
Четверг, 6 октября 2011 г. New $1.16 Million Study Investigates How Dietary Iron Is Used By Cells. A four-year study on iron metabolism within cells, an essential process that impacts both iron deficiency and iron toxicity, conditions responsible for a multitude of human diseases, is underway at the University at Buffalo funded by a $1.16 million grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Too much iron in tissues, called iron-loading, is thought to increase t...

Пятница, 29 июля 2011 г. Genomics researchers discover protein deficit that causes drug toxicity. Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered an inherited structural mechanism that can make drugs for some diseases toxic for some patients. The mechanism decreases a protein and in turn causes certain individuals to metabolize thiopurine drugs differently. Thiopurine therapies are used to treat patients with childhood leukemia, autoimmune diseases and organ transplants. The Mayo researchers say thei...Selenium ...

Biology & Biochemistry: Deadly Fungus Decimating Bat Populations Cannot Be Controlled By Culling
http://biologybiochemistry.blogspot.com/2011/10/deadly-fungus-decimating-bat.html
Воскресенье, 9 октября 2011 г. Deadly Fungus Decimating Bat Populations Cannot Be Controlled By Culling. Culling will not stop the spread of a deadly fungus that is threatening to wipe out hibernating bats in North America, according to a new mathematical model. Ground work on the model was initiated in a 2009 modeling workshop on white-nose syndrome held at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) in Knoxville, Tennessee. At the interdisciplinary workshop, experts i...

Среда, 29 июня 2011 г. Technique Traces Origins Of Disease Genes In Mixed Races. A team of researchers from Washington University in St. Louis and the Israeli Institute of Technology (Technion) in Haifa has developed a technique to detect the ancestry of disease genes in hybrid, or mixed, human populations. A current research goal is to treat or even prevent kidney disease with gene or drug therapies. Its a good bet, Templeton said, that the disease genes are highly likely to have emerged from Africa, as...

Понедельник, 30 мая 2011 г. Gatekeepers Of Breast Cancer Transition To Invasive Disease Identified By Scientists. Here, we show that a key event of tumor progression is the disappearance of the myoepithelial cell layer due to defective myoepithelial cell differentiation regulated by intrinsic and microenvironment signals. Thus, myoepithelial cells can be considered gatekeepers of the in situ to invasive carcinoma transition; understanding the pathways that regulate their differentiation may open new ...

Суббота, 30 апреля 2011 г. Protein Roadmap For Inherited Eye Diseases. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified proteins in the rod and cones of the eye that could lead to the discovery of the genetic causes of a host of inherited eye diseases. The investigators hope to gain a clearer understanding of what goes wrong at the most basic level in these diseases that cause blindness and other disorders. Pierce is a pediatric ophthalmologist who specializes in caring fo...

Пятница, 30 сентября 2011 г. First Compound That Specifically Kills Cancer Stem Cells Found. The cancer stem cells that drive tumor growth and resist chemotherapies and radiation treatments that kill other cancer cells arent invincible after all. Researchers reporting online on August 13th in the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, have discovered the first compound that targets those cancer stem cells directly. In the new study, the researchers manipulated cultured breast cancer cells to greatly enr...

Biology & Biochemistry: New Book Uses ABCs To Teach Children Microbiology
http://biologybiochemistry.blogspot.com/2011/10/new-book-uses-abcs-to-teach-children.html
Пятница, 21 октября 2011 г. New Book Uses ABCs To Teach Children Microbiology. We are immersed in microbes. They live in our bodies, in our food, and in everything that surrounds us; we cannot live without them. The Invisible ABCs presents answers to questions that we all have an interest in, such as 'Why can cows use grass for food but humans can't? And 'Why do we get gas after we eat beans? This intriguing book contains a glossary of important terms, as well as endpapers illustrating the relative size ...
