University of Manchester makes made-to-measure skin and bones a reality using inkjet printers
...n order to grow tissue or bone." This breakthrough overcomes problems currently faced by scientists who are unable to grow large tissues and have limited control over the shape or size the tissue will grow to. It also allows more than one type of cell to be printed at once, which opens up the possibility of be...Newly-described route to cancer solves a mystery in lung cancer
... suggest "overexpressing the gene somehow seems to overcomes this problem." Replacing the FUS1 gene therapeutically at the earliest time possible in patients missing one copy of the 3p21.3 region "may possibly prevent or delay the development of lung tumors," Ji says....UCL study establishes common biological ground for maternal and romantic love in humans
...uman attachment employs a push-pull mechanism that overcomes social distance by deactivating networks used for critical social assessment and negative emotions, while it bonds individuals through the involvement of the reward circuitry (regions in the brain that induce euphoric feelings), explaining the power ...Tissue-engineered valves give diseased hearts new life
...essions 2003. "Using this tissue-engineered valve overcomes many of the problems with mechanical or donor valves because it is a living structure from the patient's own tissue, and so it does not cause an immunological reaction," said Pascal M. Dohmen, M.D., head of tissue engineering research and staff surge...Job stress may be missing link between workplace exercise and heart risk
...al stresses associated with physically active jobs overcomes any biological benefit of the activity itself. It's also possible that physical activity in the context of a body activated by psychological stress does not have the same benefits as exercise conducted in the reduced stress usually associated with le...Studying smallpox without smallpox
...dicine have discovered a way to study how smallpox overcomes the human immune system. Due to the nature of variola, the virus that causes smallpox, researchers cannot access the virus conventionally. Therefore, using previously published data on the DNA of smallpox, Penn researchers reverse-engineered a variol...Mice lacking fat-making enzyme are leaner, more sensitive to leptin and insulin
...tance to leptin, Chen said. A DGAT1 inhibitor that overcomes leptin resistance could be a potential therapy. In fact, the researchers showed that in a strain of genetically obese mice characterized by leptin resistance, inactivation of DGAT1 significantly reduced their obesity and insulin resistance. Obesity i...Story tips from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, October 2000

Promising preliminary lab results show that the new integrase inhibitor molecule may possess the ability to withstand the body's attempts to block its actions, said Nair, w......ility to expand targeted CTLs. The REM technology overcomes this hurdleand, as described in the publication, rapidly expands antigen-specific cells tonumbers greater than one billion, which can then be administered to the patient.
