Brain Tumors Grow by Tapping Preexisting Blood Vessels for Nutrients

Findings from a new study on how tumors grow and spread in the brain may cause cancer researchers to rethink treatment options based on drugs that block angiogenesis.  More...

Biotechnology Merger to Spur Development of a Gene Therapy Approach for Treatment of Congestive Heart Failure

Rapid improvement in the treatment of congestive heart failure is expected following the acquisition of InoCard, a German early-stage biotechnology company by uniQure, a Dutch leader in the field of gene therapy.  More...

New Reaction Vessel Heating System Is Cleaner and Safer

Biotech and other life science researchers can create a safer, cleaner, and more efficient working environment in their laboratories by switching from oil bath-based heating of reaction vessels to a new high performance reaction block that can be used with any hotplate stirrer.  More...

Image: The presence of p45 (green staining) and p75 (red staining) indicates that motor neurons increase both p45 and p75 expression after sciatic nerve injury in an animal (Photo courtesy of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies).

Blocking Nerve Growth Factor Receptor Enables Human Nervous System Regeneration

The mystery of why the human nervous system is unable to regenerate may have been at least partially solved with the identification of a protein called p75 that seems to block the repair of damaged nerve cells.   More...

Image: In mice whose brain tumor cells (in green) could not make galectin-1, the body’s immune system was able to recognize and attack the cells, causing them to die. In this microscope image, the orange areas show where tumor cells had died in just the first three days after the tumor was implanted in the brain. Six days later, the tumor had been eradicated (Photo courtesy of the University of Michigan).

Surface Protein Protects Brain Tumor Cells from Immune Attack

Malignant glioma brain tumor cells suppress the natural killer cell immune response by over expressing the surface protein galectin-1, and suppression of this protein renders the tumor cells susceptible to destruction by the immune system.   More...
