Synthetic material may help repair tissue after a heart attack, aid
transplants
Technology Review Share    
Regenerating blood vessels is important for combating the aftereffects of a heart attack or peripheral
arterial disease, and for ensuring that transplanted organs receive a sufficient supply of blood. Now researchers have created a nanomaterial that could help the body to grow new blood vessels. More
Urine test detects prostate cancer
Laboratory Equipment
Share
The days of uncertainty in diagnosing prostate cancer may be numbered. Scientists have developed a noninvasive test to help determine whether a man has prostate
cancer. Further evaluation is planned to determine whether the diagnostic tool, which detects the presence of a cancer-causing fusion gene in men's urine, could help clinicians reduce the number of prostate biopsies performed each year.

High-speed 3-D imaging system holds potential for improved cancer screening
Bioscience Technology
Share
Researchers have developed a new imaging system that enables high-speed, three-dimensional imaging of microscopic pre-cancerous changes in the esophagus or colon. The new system is based on an emerging
technology called optical coherence tomography, which offers a way to see below the surface with 3-D, microscopic detail in ways that traditional screening methods can't.

Alzheimer's disease could be detected through pre-symptomatic blood test
The Star-Ledger
Share
The detection of Alzheimer's disease could soon be a matter of a simple — and pre-symptomatic — blood test, according to a new study. The test isolates 10 autoantibodies the body produces to combat the disease. It's 95 percent accurate and takes 24 hours for results — and requires just a single drop of blood.

New microscope follows single molecules by the millisecond
R&D Magazine
Share
Researchers can now watch molecules move in living cells, literally millisecond by millisecond, thanks to a new microscope. By combining light-sheet microscopy and single molecule spectroscopy, the new
microscope can record the fluorescence of every pixel within view and take snapshots at intervals of less than one millisecond.

Patient's own skin cells may one day treat multiple diseases
Bioscience Technology
Share
The possibility of developing stem cells from a patient's own skin and using them to treat conditions as diverse as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and cancer has generated tremendous excitement in the stem cell research community in recent years. Such therapies would avoid the controversial need for using stem cells derived from human embryos, and in theory, also
bypass immunological problems inherent in using cells from one person to treat another.

Seeing gold in tumors without destroying cells
Nanowerk News
Share
Using gold as a potential treatment for cancer could become a reality thanks to a combination of imaging techniques. In recently published work, researchers
describe how using two imaging techniques allows scientists to see where gold complexes used in potential chemotherapeutic treatments end up in cells. They are also able to monitor the gold's effects on the cells in a non-destructive way.

Laser therapy of nonmelanoma cancers continues to grow
Skin & Allergy News Digital Network
Share
Experience with various lasers for the treatment and prophylaxis of nonmelanoma skin cancers is increasing, and the outcomes are promising. One setting where lasers have particular potential is in
patients with multiple basal cell carcinomas. BCCs tend to have telangiectasias, and by specifically targeting the tumor vasculature, the BCC burden can be decreased or eliminated by laser treatment with little damage to surrounding skin.

Pathology lab concern: Cross contamination

In many labs today, the primary staining process is completed manually through "dipping and dunking" slides into shared reagent baths. The potential for cross
contamination presents itself at multiple points in the process. For more information and to watch a "dip and dunk" process video, visit SaferPath.org.

Culturing hematopoietic stem cells found to boost allograft success
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Share
Researchers claim culturing hematopoietic stem cells in the lab for a week or so before transplantation into
an allogeneic recipient markedly improves engraftment success while reducing rejection issues. Studies in mice showed that expanding mouse HSCs ex vivo for eight days led to a 40-fold increase in allograft ability (compared with freshly isolated HSCs).

Does working in a controlled environment put your own health at risk?
ADVANCE for Medical Laboratory Professionals
Share
Urinary tract infections are very common in both ambulatory and hospitalized patients as a result of nosocomical infections. Although Escherichia Coli is the
most common causative agent of urinary tract infection, certain strain of uropathogenic bacteria can also cause UTIs. A new study shows that frequently delayed bathroom breaks as a result of working in a controlled environment such as cleanrooms may predispose women to UTIs.

Study finds more effective approach against ovarian cancer
Westmoreland Times
Share
New research shows that engineered human T cells can eradicate deadly human ovarian cancer in immune-deficient mice. In a past clinical study, first generation engineered T cells did not shrink tumors in women with ovarian cancer because the T cells did not persist in the patients. The new second generation technology developed in the current study overcomes the limitations of the first generation approach.

Differential expression of HIF-1alpha in low breast ductal carcinomas
Diagnostic Pathology
Share
Cancer stem cell hypothesis postulates that tumors are maintained by a self-renewing CSC population that is also capable of differentiating into non-self-renewing cell populations that constitute the bulk of tumor. Considering that there are strong evidences that the fraction of a tumor considered to be cancer stem cells is plastic depending upon microenvironmental signals, researchers' findings provide further evidence that hypoxia
might be related to the worse prognosis found in low positive breast tumors.
