Novel gene therapy reverses haemophilia 1 Citation Scientists using mice have developed a new way to deliver gene therapies. By using hollow particles to deliver a gene into cells, they successfully reversed haemophilia symptoms. Gene therapy can be used to treat diseases caused by a mutated or missing gene. The technique involves delivering a correct copy of the gene. However, current methods haven?t worked too well in patients;often the gene binds at the wrong place in the DNA or doesn?t integrate itself into the cell. The new technique usin, technorati.com

Combining therapies increases survival for lung cancer 1 Citation It is good to see that the international medical community is devoting an entire conference to studying how collaboration between treatment specialists can improve survival rates for lung cancer patients. For even though it is rare and is unusual in how fast it spreads, and we know that it is almost always caused by asbestos exposure, mesothelioma is a form of lung cancer. Of particular interest at the conference will be new advances in radiotherapy, how combining it with chemotherapy, and h, technorati.com

Discovery Of Facial Malformation Gene 1 Citation SOURCE ScienceDaily (June 19, 2009) ? The first specific genetic mutation which can cause a potentially serious facial disfigurement has been identified by researchers at Oxford University. The finding, published online in the American Journal of Human Genetics, offers the promise of improved genetic counselling for parents at risk. Formation of the human face is a complex and exquisitely orchestrated developmental process that occurs between four and eight weeks of embryonic development., technorati.com

What Causes Hair Loss ? What Can I Do? 1 Citation Gary Heron asked: It is normal to lose between 50-100 hairs a day, this is part of the hair renewal process. However most people suffer from excessive hair loss at one time in their life. There are many reasons for this including medication, radiation, chemotherapy, exposure to chemicals, hormonal and nutritional factors, thyroid disease, generalized or local skin disease, and stress. Many of these causes are temporary and a few are permanent. These are some of the more common reason for h, technorati.com

HIV gene therapy trial results seen as positive 1 Citation Results from the first clinical trial of gene therapy in patients infected with HIV are out. The treatment appeared to safely increase the number of immune system cells normally attacked by the virus, said researchers. But the therapy wasn?t found to significantly reduce the number of HIV viruses themselves in patients? bodies. Gene therapy is a strategy involving introducing genes into patients through various means in order to replace defective, technorati.com

Promises, promises?. ?Possible cure for ?HIV?? 1 Citation One of the worst aspects of the media coverage of ?science? is the explicit aim of bringing the latest and most exciting ?news? from the realms of science. To disseminate what has just been announced by some scientist or laboratory or institution of science or medicine is to collaborate in an exercise in self-serving spin which, all too often, arouses totally unwarranted hopes. An infamous and notorious instance was the ?discovery? of ?the? gene that ?causes? breast cancer. Untold numbers of w, technorati.com

ADHD genes found, known to play roles in neurodevelopment 1 Citation Missing DNA segments may suggest future drug targets Pediatric researchers have identified hundreds of gene variations that occur more frequently in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than in children without ADHD. Many of those genes were already known to be important for learning, behavior, brain function and neurodevelopment, but had not been previously associated with ADHD. ?Because the gene alterations we found are involved in the development of the nervou, technorati.com
