- 1From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAbnormal vessel growth in the eyes is a major cause of blindness. In mice, injection of stem cells from the bone marrow can alter vessel growth (pages 1004-1010). A leading cause of vision loss in industrialized...
- 2From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedIn the adult brain, new neurons are continuously generated in the subventricular zone and dentate gyrus, but it is unknown whether these neurons can replace those lost following damage or disease. Here we show that...
- 3From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe September 11 terrorist atrocities and the subsequent bioterrorism visited upon the US led to new rules governing the possession of select agents, a list of 36 pathogens that have potential in biowarfare. This...
- 4From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe anthrax bacterium has its enemies and among them is the [gamma] phage. [gamma] phage breeds inside the bacterium before melting its cell wall and bursting out. Schuch et al. have now harnessed [gamma] phage as a...
- 5From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe Future of Life by E.O. Wilson Alfred A. Knopf, 229 pp, $22.00, 2002 E.O. Wilson is among America's most eminent biologists. Winner of two Pulitzer prizes and the recipient of countless scientific honors,...
- 6From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedSurvivin (also termed Birc5) belongs to the family of genes known as inhibitors of apoptosis, and it has been implicated in both prevention of cell death and control of mitosis. The survivin pathway is exploited in...
- 7From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedLifestyle drugs--medicines that treat conditions associated with lifestyle such as weight-loss tablets, anti-smoking agents, impotence therapies and hair restorers-- are now a major research and development area for the...
- 8From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe most invasive types of brain tumors can release neurotoxic quantities of glutamate. A new study shows that changing the properties of glutamate receptors can shrink brain tumors in rats (pages 971-978). The most...
- 9From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedLeading atherosclerosis research laboratories in the US are gearing up to compete for the biggest single grants available in the field. The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation is offering $24 million over four years to each...
- 10From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedA new study shows that TERT, a component of telomerase, shuttles between nuclear compartments during the cell cycle. TERT localization is disrupted in cancer and following ionizing radiation, perhaps affecting genome...
- 11From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe prevalence of asthma continues to increase and its optimal treatment remains a challenge. Here, we investigated the actions of lipoxin [A.sub.4] ([LXA.sub.4]) and its leukocyte receptor in pulmonary inflammation...
- 12From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe MICROBExpress bacterial mRNA purification kit from Ambion is designed to remove greater than 90 per cent of the 16S and 23S rRNA from total RNA from a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The...
- 13From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAsthma is caused by T-helper cell 2 (Th2)-driven immune responses, but the immunological mechanisms that protect against asthma development are poorly understood. T-cell tolerance, induced by respiratory exposure to...
- 14From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedStroke and irradiation can cause severe brain damage, with consequences for neuronal replacement. The results of two new studies may help us understand the barriers to effective therapies to restore injured brain tissue...
- 15From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedLast month, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) launched a $30 million clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of chelation...
- 16From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAsthma and respiratory allergies have been on the rise for decades. One theory holds that a more hygienic environment contributes to such problems. Now that theory has gained momentum from a 10 August study in the...
- 17From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedTecan offers a new clinical workstation designed to increase throughput and walk-away time for high-volume labs running a range of validated ELISA/EIA and infectious disease-based assays. The Tecan Clinical Workstation,...
- 18From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAnalysis of the viability, differentiation, clonogenicity and function of human stem/progenitor cells requires suitable xenograft models. However, the identification of transplanted cells has been generally difficult....
- 19From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe 1997 flu in Hong Kong infected only 18 patients, but killed 6 of them. Now, reverse genetics experiments have pinpointed the NS1 gene as a primary culprit. In 1997 a highly lethal influenza virus made the leap...
- 20From: Nature Medicine. (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe American Society for Microbiology (ASM), which has come under recent attack for publishing information in scientific manuscripts that some see as potentially helpful to terrorists, released new guidelines last month...
