Biology (song) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Posted: Published on March 31st, 2016

For the 1960 American jazz song, see Sue Raney. "Biology" is a song performed by English-Irish all-female pop group Girls Aloud, taken from their third studio album Chemistry (2005). The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania, and produced by Higgins and Xenomania. Composed of distinct sections, it avoids the verse-chorus form present in most contemporary pop music. "Biology" was released as a single in November 2005, ahead of the album's release. Following the disappointment of "Long Hot Summer", "Biology" returned Girls Aloud to the top five of the UK Singles Chart and became their tenth top ten hit. The music video, consisting only of group shots, witnesses Girls Aloud seamlessly move through various sequences while performing disjointed choreography. "Biology" was promoted through a number of live appearances and has since been performed on all of Girls Aloud's subsequent concert tours. The song, which includes a variety of styles, received widespread acclaim from contemporary music critics. Considered one of Girls Aloud's signature songs, The Guardian referred to "Biology" as "the best pop single of the last decade." "Biology" is composed of a number of distinctly different sections. The song begins with Nadine Coyle singing … Continue reading

Adoptive T Cell Therapy | Tumor Vaccine Group

Posted: Published on March 31st, 2016

Adoptive T cell therapy involves the isolation and ex vivo expansion of tumor specific T cells to achieve greater number of T cells than what could be obtained by vaccination alone. The tumor specific T cells are then infused into patients with cancer in an attempt to give their immune system the ability to overwhelm remaining tumor via T cells which can attack and kill cancer. There are many forms of adoptive T cell therapy being used for cancer treatment; culturing tumor infiltrating lymphocytes or TIL, isolating and expanding one particular T cell or clone, and even using T cells that have been engineered to potently recognize and attack tumors. Our approach has been to utilize T cells taken directly from the patients blood after they have received a cancer vaccine. We have found by priming rare tumor antigen specific T cells first, with active immunization, we are much more able to expand those T cells in the laboratory to greater numbers for therapeutic infusion. A unique aspect to our approach for adoptive T cell therapy is the use of tumor specific CD4+ Th1 cells which may enhance anti-tumor efficacy. Adoptive T cell therapy strategies have largely focused on the … Continue reading

Meridian, Miss. Meet Champ, a 5 year old cocker spaniel who is full of life and love, but suffers from a ligament tear that hinders his mobility. Rather than have an invasive surgery which would require pain medications, Champs owners decided to go for an innovative procedure that will use his own cells to help heal and improve the tear. We are not going inside the joint per say or that kind of reconstruction, we are going to go inside the joint just to inject cells back in the joint, so that the body is allowed to use its own repair system to repair that ligament, explained Veterinarian Dr. Wayne Adams. Stem cell procedures previously took several days to complete, from extracting the cells and mailing them off to a lab, but now all of this can be done in house. We can digest the tissue, extract those dormant cells, and then we activate them with platelet plasma and low level laser light and then those cells are reintroduced back into that same pet in places of ailment, stated Trey Smith, Medivet Biologics. Stem cell procedures are becoming more mainstream in veterinary and human medicine, and are being used to … Continue reading
