Spherical nucleic acids set stage for new paradigm in drug development

Posted: Published on March 17th, 2015

11 hours ago A research team led by Northwestern University nanomedicine expert Chad A. Mirkin and Sergei Gryaznov of AuraSense Therapeutics is the first to show spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) can be used as potent drugs to effectively train the immune system to fight disease, by either boosting or dampening the immune response. The initial treatment triggers a cell-specific immune response all over the body. By increasing the body's immune response toward a specific cell type, SNAs could be used to target anything from influenza to different forms of cancer. They also can be used to suppress the immune response, a tactic important in treating autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. "The ability to selectively trigger the immune response with spherical nucleic acids presents a whole new way of thinking about drug development," said Mirkin, a corresponding author of the study. "Once developed fully, SNAs will lay the foundation for developing an entire new pipeline of drugs to treat a range of diseases, from psoriasis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis to lymphoma, bladder cancer and prostate cancer." Mirkin is the George B. Rathmann Professor of Chemistry in the Weinberg College … Continue reading

Finn McEwen: Family's bone marrow appeal to help save seven-year-old with rare condition

Posted: Published on March 16th, 2015

A little boy with an extremely rare condition is in desperate need of a transplant to save his life. Finn McEwen, seven, from Litherland has bone marrow failure and now his family are facing a race against time to find a stem cell match. His condition, myelodysplastic syndrome, is extremely rare in children and cannot be treated with chemotherapy, so a transplant is Finns only hope. His family, including dad Neil, 46, baby sister Seren, 18 months, and brother Lucas, 6, have all been ruled out as matches and Finn needs to have the transplant within the next six to eight weeks to have the best chance of recovery. His mum Carole, 43, told the Liverpool Echo Finn has always been well and active, and it was a massive shock when doctors said he had the condition. The family had to endure weeks of waiting after Finn suffered a serious nosebleed in January before doctors could find out what was wrong with him, as it is extremely difficult to diagnose. Cry for help: A transplant is the only cure for the condition, which is caused by bone marrow not making enough healthy red blood cells Carole said: Its been this … Continue reading

New laser technology holds promise of youth

Posted: Published on March 16th, 2015

One of the many challenges of a dermatologist is when a patient asks for her skin to be restored to almost the same texture as a babys behind. With the availability of laser technology and advancements in science such demand is no longer impossible, especially with a skilled doctor. We regard excellent skincare as an alliance of expert knowledge in aesthetic medicine, cutting-edge technology, and a genuine interest to improve the quality of life of patients, says Dr. Kyla Talens, whose expertise is laser treatment. Dr. Talens understood the unpleasant impact of physical flaws on the human psyche at an early age. Growing up, she experienced firsthand the heavy emotional burden brought about by different skin issues such as scarring, severe acne, and pigmentation, among others. This fueled her drive to seek the best ways to improve peoples self-concept through physical enhancement. COST-EFFECTIVE CHOICE In her newly opened clinic Skin Philosophie Medical Aesthetic and Lifestyle Solutions located at The Fort Strip, Bonifacio Global City, in Taguig, she treats patients with a ground-breaking laser resurfacing technology with little or no downtime.

Family Health: Plastic surgery can repair or enhance

Posted: Published on March 16th, 2015

When you hear the term plastic surgery, you may think of an actor with a new body shape or a gray-haired CEO with a youthful face. If so, youre not wrong plastic surgery is often done for aesthetic reasons. But that just touches on one part of the broad scope of this field. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 20 million plastic surgery procedures were done in the U.S. last year, to enhance appearance and also to restore normal function and appearance. These differing objectives point to the two disciplines that fall under the umbrella term of plastic surgery. One is reconstructive surgery, which is done to correct defects from disease, congenital problems or injuries. For example, in 2012 more than 27,000 people had reconstructive surgery to repair damage from dog bites. Other reconstructive surgeries include: Breast reconstruction after mastectomy or lumpectomy. Breast reduction for women with significant adverse symptoms from heavy breasts. Repair of congenital defects such as cleft lip or palate, webbed fingers or toes, and other conditions. Laceration repair. Scar revision to make scars less visible. Hand surgeries for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve or tendon repairs, contractures and many injuries. … Continue reading
