smitty777 writes “Wired magazine reports on a new nanoviewing lens that is capable of viewing objects less than 100 nm across. Rather than attempting to use a ‘perfect’ lens, this technology uses a porous surface that actually scatters the light. By measuring how it is scattered and setting up lasers to compensate, they’re able to [...]
Nanotech is opening up new markets and offering novel solutions to numerous challenges in a very varied range of areas. This was the tenor of the 1st Swiss NanoConvention which took place on May 18 and 19 in Baden. The event was organized by Empa, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the ETH Zurich, and [...]

Conclusion? These results suggest that the antifibrotic effect of RLX?expressing adenovirus may have therapeutic effects on keloids by reversing pathologic fibrosis and preventing keloid recurrence after surgical excision.

Conclusions: Down-regulation of TF using siRNA could provide a potential approach for gene therapy against lung adenocarcinoma, and the antitumor effects may be associated with inhibition of Erk MAPK, PI3K/Akt pathways. (Source: BioMed Central)
To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Du et al. . They determined whether anti-transforming-growth-factor-? (TGF-?) intervention could halt the progression of radiation-induced-liver-fibrosis in a rat model. The authors conclude that TGF-? plays a critical role in the progression of radiation-induced liver fibrosis and that anti-TGF-? intervention ameliorates established liver fibrosis.

AbstractB cells have been used as tolerogenic APCs for nearly two decades. However, the ability to transduce B cells for use in gene therapy has been hampered by the low efficiency of transduction of resting B cells. This has been partially overcome by mitogenic activation of these cells, a factor that is not without risks [...]

We have developed induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD), a defect of neutrophil microbicidal reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation resulting from gp91phox deficiency. We demonstrated that mature neutrophils differentiated from X-CGD iPSCs lack ROS production, reproducing the pathognomonic CGD cellular phenotype. Targeted gene transfer into iPSCs, with [...]
