New possibilities for treatment of mesothelioma
Scientists have been testing new molecules that inhibit kinase SRC effectively inducing cell death by apoptosis, only lines with mesothelioma. Researchers at the laboratory of Antonio Giordano, MD, Ph.D., founder and director of Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine, have identified new potential anti-cancer agents that may be effective in the treatment of [...]
Nanotechnology in neurology
Thanks to the nanotube drug carrier an international team was able to release the correct amount of medicine to repair damaged areas of the brain affected by stroke. The Institute of Neurosciences of the National Research Council of Pisa (In-CNR) in collaboration with University College London and University of Florence has conducted research to test [...]
Combats oxidative stress damage to DNA
A U.S. team found that oxidative stress induces increased synthesis of protein SIRT6 able to repair the rupture of double-stranded DNA. Were published in the journal Science the results of a survey dall”Universita of Rochester (USA) and has made the role of oxidative stress in a cell. During normal activities of the cell are made [...]
New approach for prostate cancer
Tested on mice, a new treatment that involves stimulation of the immune system to eliminate cancer without using chemotherapy drugs. In a study conducted by some employees of the United Kingdom and the Mayo Clinic has pioneered a new treatment for prostate cancer. They were taken a few fragments of DNA from prostate tissue from [...]
Stem cells from adipose tissue
A reserve of youth and health for the future. They are the stem cells from adipose tissue, taken at a young age, can be frozen and stored for rejuvenation and cure specific diseases. Swiss Stem Cells Bank, SSCB the Swiss bank of stem cells in Lugano, is about to launch a new service: in addition [...]
Transdifferentiation cell gene cord
Getting from hair cells can be obtained earlier in myocardial transform pluripotent new goal of the scientific community. Cellular Reprogramming is a technique that allows to create any type of tissue from one cell to another, is to re-educate the cells to respond as the scientists wanted. A step towards achieving create organs and tissues [...]
A protein ripatrice damage to the heart
The protein thymosin beta-4 activates the stem cells to develop into cardiomyocytes, epicardium and reform so damaged heart tissue after infarction. Nature has been published to a survey that explains the remedial effects of a protein called thymosin beta-4, on the damage caused infarction. The thymosin beta-4 seems to be able to activate the stem [...]
