68 Molecules that hold the key to all Cellular Life

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:01:12 GMT

clipped by: Silkweaver
clipper's remarks: Currently, the vast majority of medical research looks to the human genome and proteome for answers, but those answers remain elusive, and perhaps for good reason.

“We have now found instances where the pathogenesis of widespread and chronic diseases can be attributed to a change in the glycome, for example, in the absence of definable changes in the genome or proteome,” Marth said, adding that, as biomedical researchers, “we need to begin to cultivate the integration of disciplines in a holistic and rigorous way in order to perceive and most effectively manipulate the biological mechanisms of health and disease.”

Marth believes that biology should become more integrative both in academic and research settings. “I’m one who believes that we don’t need to sacrifice breadth of knowledge in order to acquire depth of understanding.”

Why is it that the origins of many serious diseases remain a mystery? In considering that question, a scientist at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has come up with a unified molecular view of the indivisible unit of life, the cell, which may provide an answer.

Reviewing findings from multiple disciplines, Jamey Marth, Ph.D., UC San Diego Professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, realized that only 68 molecular building blocks are used to construct these four fundamental components of cells: the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), proteins, glycans and lipids.

Like the periodic table of elements, first published in 1869 by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, is to chemistry, Marth’s visual metaphor offers a new framework for biologists.

These 68 building blocks provide the structural basis for the molecular choreography that constitutes the entire life of a cell

Exercise Reduces Risk of Alzheimer’s

Researchers have found that regular weekly exercise reduces the rate of cognitive decline in older adults at risk of Alzheimer’s, according to the results of a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

In the 18-month study, 138 participants aged 50 or older were randomly allocated to a physical activity group or a normal activity group.

The participants in the exercise group engaged in at least 150 minutes of moderate to intensity physical activity per week, in three 50-minute sessions each week. Walking was the most frequent type of activity, with twelve participants choosing to include some light strength training exercise in their program.

The results of the trial indicate that a mere 142 minutes of exercise a week is enough to reduce risk of cognitive decline.

Пять машин и технологий готовы изменить наш мир

Это второй номер программы. Отдалённо он напоминает жутковатые внушённые путешествия из фильма "Вспомнить всё", однако — основан этот прогноз на реальных исследованиях, проводимых в Медицинском университете Южной Каролины (Medical University of South Carolina).

Струйные принтеры могут печатать человеческие органы

Столь необычный проект — плод сотрудничества Владимира Миронова (Vladimir Mironov) из медицинского университета Южной Каролины (Medical University of South Carolina) и Томаса Боланда (Thomas Boland) из университета Клемсона (Clemson University).

Точнее, на первое место нужно поставить Боланда, который придумал идею, начал исследование в своей лаборатории и увлёк им своего коллегу.

Здесь в качестве "бумаги" учёные предполагают использовать экзотический термообратимый гель, созданный недавно Анной Гатовска (Anna Gutowska) из тихоокеанской северо-западной национальной лаборатории (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory).

NC State first university in nation to offer canine bone marrow transplants

Dogs suffering from lymphoma will be able to receive the same type of medical treatment as their human counterparts, as North Carolina State University becomes the first university in the nation to offer canine bone marrow transplants in a clinical setting.

Dr. Steven Suter, assistant professor of oncology in NC State's College of Veterinary Medicine, received three leukophoresis machines donated by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Leukophoresis machines are designed to harvest healthy stem cells from cancer patients. The machines are used in conjunction with drug therapy to harvest stem cells that have left the patient's bone marrow and entered the bloodstream. The harvested cancer-free cells are then reintroduced into the patient after total body radiation is used to kill residual cancer cells left in the body. This treatment is called peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

Brain Blasting Laser

clipper's remarks: In a world first, a man was strapped to a bed in Paris and had laser beams fired into his brain. He not only survived but, amazingly, wasn't James Bond.

Clip Source: www.dailygalaxy.com

The revolutionary surgery was carried out at Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital to destroy a brain tumor that wasn't responding to conventional treatment. Drilling a hole in somebody's skull and piping laser destruction into it, on the other hand, definitely counts as "unconventional treatment" and destroyed the tumor.

A laser's ability to vaporise things is widely known - thanks to movies it was known long before it was actually true. But in medical applications the trick isn't blowing things up, but convincing the laser to stop burning things up in a precisely controlled way. In this case fiber optic cabling (like copper wire for light) was used to direct the laser to the correct location, and constant Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) allowed surgeons to monitor its progress on a screen - like a very expensive videogame. And you only get one life.

Philadelphia funeral home admits plundering corpses, selling stolen body parts

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 04:17:47 GMT

Clip Source: www.startribune.com

PHILADELPHIA - Two brothers who ran a pair of funeral homes and a crematorium admitted Tuesday that they sold corpses to a company that trafficked stolen body parts, a macabre scheme that left families aghast and unclear about the fate of their loved ones.

Louis and Gerald Garzone pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy, theft, abusing corpses and welfare fraud.

The brothers allowed at least 244 corpses to be carved up without families' permission and without medical tests, prosecutors said. Skin, bones, tendons and other parts — some of them diseased — were then sold around the country for dental implants, knee and hip replacements, and other procedures.

Some bodies were only torsos by the time the hacking was done, said Assistant District Attorney Evangelia Manos.

In Philadelphia, Mastromarino paid the Garzones and their partner, James McCafferty, more than $245,000 for at least 244 cadavers between February 2004 and October 2005, prosecutors said.
