MIT develops 'tractor beam' for cells, more
In a feat that seems like something out of a microscopic version of Star Trek, MIT researchers have found a way to use a "tractor beam" of light to pick up, hold, and move around individual cells and other objects on the surface of a microchip.   view more (2007-10-31)

ESC Congress 2004: Embryonic endothelial progenitor cells help overcome myocardial infarction in pigs
Myocardial infarction, caused by coronary artery occlusion, can lead up to loss of muscle tissue of the heart and functional detriment, even at times where rapid reperfusion strategies like PTCA or thrombolysis are at hand. In the study presented here, we investigated embryonic endothelial... view more (2004-08-30)

ICT management in Kenya- 'Just laying a cable is not always possible'
ICT management is as necessary in Kenya as it is in other developing countries. But the Western management tools or models cannot be applied right away, for example, in the Kenyan situation. This is one of the conclusions of the PhD research carried out by Gregory Wanyembi working at the faculty of... view more (2002-04-17)

A simplified scoring system may predict overall CVD risk, individual CVD components risk
Physicians currently evaluate a patient's risk for heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases (CVD) individually, but a new assessment tool could gauge risk of overall ,or global, CVD and a range of cardiovascular diseases at one time, according to a study published in Circulation:... view more (2008-01-23)

Targeted drug delivery now possible with 'pHLIP' peptide
Scientists at Yale and the University of Rhode Island report the development of a peptide that can specifically and directly deliver molecules to the inside of cells like a nanosyringe, creating a new tool for drug delivery, gene control and imaging of diseased tissues.   view more (2006-04-12)

UCLA AIDS Institute researchers find a peptide that encourages HIV infection
UCLA AIDS Institute researchers have discovered that when a crucial portion of a peptide structure in monkeys that defends against viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders is reversed, the peptide actually encourages infection with HIV.   view more (2007-05-11)

Drug fends off kidney cancer progression
New data from an international, multicenter Phase III clinical trial has found that the experimental targeted therapy everolimus (RAD001) significantly delays cancer progression in patients with metastatic kidney cancer whose disease had worsened on other treatments.   view more (2008-05-19)

Chimpanzees are social conformists
