...areas.” Ali decided to develop an implantable system that would recruit the dendritic cells by mimicking infection and inducing an immune response. With the new implants, 90 percent of mice with tumors survived, when otherwise they would have been expected to die within 23 days. The mice??s immune systems also recruited similar numbers of naturally present dendritic cells as are typically injected in reprogramming therapies, Huebsch said, suggesting that the implants are as effective as pricier therapies, potentially opening the possibility of treatment for many who now cannot afford it. “Firstly...
...Americans at some point in their lifetime. In a study published yesterday by the journal Nature, David E. Fisher, director of the Melanoma Program at Dana-Farber and a professor in pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Boston, has found that induced tans protect at-risk mice??and, potentially, humans—from skin cancer. For the study, Fisher generated red-haired mice, which, like fair-skinned humans, were unable to tan. After applying a topical cream, which triggered the tanning machinery in the mice skin cells, Fisher was able to give mice a tan without exposing...
...long periods of time, Lieberman says, “a woman might only have to administer it every week or every couple of weeks, which is feasible.”Lieberman says that since the amount of material necessary for effectiveness is miniscule—a few picomoles in mice??the drug has the potential to cost only around $8 per application.The findings also have the potential to have an impact on the transmission of HIV.“Herpes infection is the leading risk factor for sexual transmission of HIV worldwide,” says Lieberman...
...researchers discovered that parathyroid hormone (PTH), an FDA-approved hormone for treating osteoporosis, had the same effect as the mice??s protein, increasing the number of stem cells. Mice treated with PTH who underwent bone marrow transplants had a 100 percent survival rate in the study...
Sanes has designed several lines of transgenic mice??mice with certain genetic mutations—whose genes can be identified by researchers by fluorescent tags...
