Hey, patches of tiny red bumps or an itchy rash can make a girl cranky. Keep your skin happy by staying away from the following saboteurs.
As a featured speaker at The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine’s 19th World Congress , Larry McCleary M.D., retired Acting Chief of Neurosurgery at Denver Children’s Hospital, will reveal secrets to living longer, healthier and thinner.
Although nurses traditionally care for patients after they get sick, a recent health fair at Northern College focused on an equally important aspect – prevention and education.[...]
Dr Jaime Grunlan, Assistant Professor in Mechanical and Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, said the transparent nano-film combines particles of montmorillonite clay, a soil ingredient used to make bricks, with a variety of polymer materials.
This weekend, kids and adults can explore nanotechnology a newer area of science unfamiliar to many people at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, which is partnering with Carnegie Mellon University for “Nano Days.”
Scientists are reporting on a new material containing an ingredient used to make bricks that shows promise as a transparent coating for improving the strength and performance of plastic food packaging. Called “nano-bricks,” the film even looks like bricks and mortar under a microscope, they say. The coating could help foods and beverages stay fresh [...]
Engineers at Ohio State University have invented a new kind of nano-particle that shines in different colors to tag molecules in biomedical tests.

Brain surgery to insert genetic cargo improves movement for some.
( Washington University School of Medicine ) By sequencing the genome of a mouse with cancer, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have uncovered mutations that also drive cancer in humans. The investigators are the first to sequence a mouse cancer genome, and their research is reported online March 23 in [...]
THURSDAY, March 17 (HealthDay News) — Cutting-edge gene therapy on Parkinson’s disease patients significantly improved the tremors, rigidity and other motor skill problems that are hallmarks of the illness, a small new study reports.
AbstractThe meninges produce essential signaling molecules and major protein components of the pial basement membrane during normal brain development. Disruptions in the pial basement membrane underlie neural ectopia seen in those congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) caused by mutations in genes involved in O?mannosyl glycosylation. In mammals, biosynthesis of O?mannosyl glycans is initiated by a complex [...]
We present our experience in placing peritoneal catheters using this technique in 95 patients with various indications. Fluoroscopic guided percutaneous placement of peritoneal catheters is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective alternative to open surgical or laparoscopic placement.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to assess human ??defensin?2 (hBD?2) gene transfection in human bladder epithelial cells and its therapeutic efficacy in a rat urinary tract infection (UTI) model via liposome mediated gene transfer. A large amount of hBD2 production (36.5 ± 3.2 ng/106 cells) was demonstrated in transfected cells’ supernatants. In addition, a [...]
Conclusions: Our data suggest that CCL2 secreted by tumor cells and CCR2 receptors on CTLs are involved in migration of CTLs towards tumor. Gene therapy of tumor cells with CCL2 or CCL2/anti-tumor Ab fusion proteins may attract CTLs that potentially could inhibit tumor growth. (Source: Journal of Translational Medicine)
Conclusions: The non-overlapping targeting preference of piggyBac and Tol2 makes them complementary research tools for manipulating mammalian genomes. PiggyBac is the most promising transposon-based vector system for achieving site-specific targeting of therapeutic genes due to the flexibility of its transposase for being molecularly engineered. Insights from this study will provide a basis for engineering piggyBac [...]
Authors: Dai R, Ahmed SA MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are newly discovered, small, noncoding ribonucleic acids (RNAs) that play critical roles in the regulation of host genome expression at the posttranscriptional level. During last 20 years, miRNAs have emerged as key regulators of various biological processes including immune cell lineage commitment, differentiation, maturation, and maintenance of immune [...]
Benitec Limited (ASX:BLT) (PINK:BNIKF) today welcomed the publication of research by scientists at the University of Queensland who demonstrated the value of Benitec’s gene silencing platform technology to provide effective human therapeutics for cancer. Their results were published this month in the prestigious international scientific journal Cancer Gene Therapy*. (*Reference: W Gu, E Payne, S [...]
Authors: Chatauret N, Thuillier R, Hauet T In the current graft shortage, it is paramount to improve the quality of transplanted organs. Organ preservation represents an underused therapeutic window with great potential to reduce ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and improve graft quality. Herein, we review strategies using this window as well as other promising work targeting [...]
