Fighting Listeria and Other Food-Borne Illnesses With Nanobiotechnology
April 2, 2013 — Engineering researchers have developed a new method to kill deadly pathogenic bacteria, including listeria, in food handling and packaging. This innovation represents an alternative to the use of ... > full story -
3-D Stem Cell Culture Technique Developed to Better Understand Alzheimer's Disease
April 2, 2013 — A team of researchers has developed a technique to produce three-dimensional cultures of induced pluripotent stem cells called embryoid bodies, amenable to live cell imaging and to electrical ... > full story -
Cholesterol Rafts Deliver Drugs Inside Cancer Cells
April 2, 2013 — DNA, siRNA and miRNA can reprogram cancer cells -- that is, if these nucleic acids could cross through the cell membrane. New research shows that cholesterol "rafts" can shepherd genetic payloads ... > full story -
Promising Stem Cell Therapy for Leukemia Patients
April 2, 2013 — Leukemia patients receive a bone marrow transplant, which allows them to build a "new" immune system. However, this immune system not only attacks cancer cells but healthy tissue too. Special ... > full story -
Sampling of Embryonic DNA After IVF Without Biopsy
April 2, 2013 — A new shows that fluid-filled cavity in 5-day old human blastocysts may contain DNA from the embryo, allowing diagnosis of genetic disease without a biopsy. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) ... > full story -
New Promise for an HIV Vaccine as Researchers Overcome Crucial Obstacle
April 2, 2013 — For the first time, researchers were able to stimulate immune cells to produce broadly neutralizing antibodies: a critical step that has eluded researchers for decades but that provides promise for a ... > full story -
Cancer Drugs an Unexpected Ally in the Battle Against Malaria
April 2, 2013 — Scientists tested the efficacy of cancer drugs at killing the malaria parasite during the liver phase with astonishing success. This research paves the way for future studies using cancer drugs that ... > full story -
Cells Culled from Adults May Grow Human Bone
April 2, 2013 — Preparations are underway for the first known human trial to use embryonic-like stem cells collected from adult cells to grow ... > full story -
Newly Identified Tumor Suppressor Provides Therapeutic Target for Prostate Cancer
April 1, 2013 — Researchers have found that the enzyme PKCzeta controls the activation of a pro-tumor gene called c-Myc. Normally, PKCzeta's alteration keeps c-Myc in check. But PKCzeta levels are low in prostate ... > full story -
Researchers First to Use Common Virus to 'Fortify' Adult Stem Cells
April 1, 2013 — Using the same strategy that a common virus employs to evade the human immune system, researchers have modified adult stem cells to increase their survival -- with the goal of giving the cells time ... > full story
