Eight-year-old girl meets her stem cell donor

Posted: Published on March 16th, 2015

ON.AOL.COM She loves art, she takes piano lessons and she was diagnosed with cancer at just two. A stranger saved her life. Sabrina Chahir was waiting to meet the man who helped send her cancer into remission. The 8-year-old girl from the United States, who likes art and takes piano lessons, knew he had flown across an ocean to see her, nearly four years after he donated his stem cells to help rid her blood of cancer that could have taken her life. Recently Sabrina and Maximilian Eule, 30, had their first face-to-face meeting at a celebration in suburban Schaumburg, Illinois with Sabrina's friends and family. The two had emailed and video-chatted. But Sabrina's mother, Natalia Wehr, said it was important to her to meet Eule in person. "It's your daughter, and this person we don't know did something so wonderful," Wehr said. "You need to know who that is." SABRINA'S STORY - DIAGNOSED AT TWO Sabrina was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, one of the most common types of cancer in children, when she was 2. The cancer cells were in more than 80 percent of her blood. The girl's cancer had gone into remission before, but she soon … Continue reading →

Man, in his 60s, said his ex-wife conned him into thinking her child was his Claimed the businesswoman, in her 50s, used her ex-boyfriend's sperm He is now seeking more than 100,000 in damages at London court By Stephanie Linning for MailOnline Published: 10:49 EST, 16 March 2015 | Updated: 12:38 EST, 16 March 2015 A woman conned her husband into thinking that he was the father of her son after undergoing IVF treatment using her ex-boyfriend's sperm, a court heard. The husband, who has not been named to protect the identity of the child, said that in 2004, he and his wife travelled to a clinic in Barcelona, Spain, where he gave a sample of his sperm. But he claims a few months later the woman returned to the clinic without him and was impregnated with her ex-boyfriends sperm instead. The couple have since divorced. The man, a lecturer in his 60s, claims that he paid more than 80,000 in maintenance towards the child over a number of years and is now seeking more than 100,000 in damages.

Merino genetics challenge kicks off

Posted: Published on March 16th, 2015

YOUNG gun shearers took to the board to shear 750 wethers in Australia's largest commercial evaluation of Merino genetics - the Peter Westblade Memorial Merino Challenge (PWMCC). The PWMCC which runs from 2014 to 2016 kicked off with 50 teams of 30 wethers last year. Once all wethers were together they were separated into two sections, with one half being lotfed with their meat measured, while the remaining 15 from each team were used for wool evaluations. The average age of the wethers when they entered the challenge was seven-months-old, they were all shorn upon entry and last week were shorn again with 11 months wool growth. First shearing was conducted over a two-day period at the TAFE Riverina's Primary Industries Centre at Wagga last week. Challenge convener, Craig Wilson, Wagga, said the challenge evaluated both commercial carcase and wool attributes of randomly sampled wethers lambs from across Australia. Preliminary results show Jerilderie's Ross and Irene Wells' Willandra Merino stud, NSW, genetics as a standout with two of their clients claiming the two top places on the board. Wedderburn growers, Ian and Julie Gould, "Wattle Grange", Victoria, finished with the best figures for their team of wethers that had a … Continue reading →

Jailbreaking yeast could amp up wine’s health benefits, reduce morning-after headaches

Posted: Published on March 16th, 2015

University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences URBANA - University of Illinois scientists have engineered a "jailbreaking" yeast that could greatly increase the health benefits of wine while reducing the toxic byproducts that cause your morning-after headache. "Fermented foods--such as beer, wine, and bread--are made with polyploid strains of yeast, which means they contain multiple copies of genes in the genome. Until now, it's been very difficult to do genetic engineering in polyploid strains because if you altered a gene in one copy of the genome, an unaltered copy would correct the one that had been changed," said Yong-Su Jin, a U of I associate professor of microbial genomics and principal investigator in the Energy Biosciences Institute. Recently scientists have developed a "genome knife" that cuts across multiple copies of a target gene in the genome very precisely--until all copies are cut. Jin's group has now used this enzyme, RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease, to do precise metabolic engineering of polyploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that have been widely used in the wine, beer, and fermentation industries. The possibilities for improved nutritive value in foods are staggering, he said. "Wine, for instance, contains the healthful component resveratrol. With engineered yeast, … Continue reading →

ACGT Surpasses $25 Million Funding Milestone with Two New Grants

Posted: Published on March 16th, 2015

Stamford, CT (PRWEB) March 16, 2015 Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy (ACGT) the nations only nonprofit dedicated exclusively to cell and gene therapies for cancer has achieved a major milestone, surpassing $25 million donated to innovative and breakthrough cancer research. ACGT was founded by Barbara Netter and her late husband, Edward, in 2001 with the goal of transforming cancer into a manageable, treatable disease. Pushing the foundation across the $25 million threshold are a pair of three-year, $250,000 grants to two esteemed scientists: Meenakshi Hegde, MD, of Texas Childrens Cancer Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, and Christopher Jewell, PhD, at University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Hegdes work will focus on immunotherapy, specifically adoptive cellular therapy for melanoma. Dr. Jewells research is centered on harnessing intra-lymph node gene therapy to promote tumor immunity. The grantees will develop genetically-modified T cells and cancer vaccines with the potential to stop cancer in its tracks. Drs. Hegde and Jewell are two outstanding scientists in the vanguard of treating and defeating cancer, said Barbara Netter, ACGTs President. Their work offers tremendous hope to those battling cancer, and also to their loved ones. ACGT grants are awarded to promising researchers whose … Continue reading →
