Spurt of heart muscle cell division seen in mice well after birth: Implications for repair of congenital heart defects

Posted: Published on May 9th, 2014

The entire heart muscle in young children may hold untapped potential for regeneration, new research suggests. For decades, scientists believed that after a child's first few days of life, cardiac muscle cells did not divide. Instead, the assumption was that the heart could only grow by having the muscle cells become larger. Cracks were already appearing in that theory. But new findings in mice, scheduled for publication in Cell, provide a dramatic counterexample -- with implications for the treatment of congenital heart disorders in humans. Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have discovered that in young mice 15 days old, cardiac muscle cells undergo a precisely timed spurt of cell division lasting around a day. The total number of cardiac muscle cells increases by about 40 percent during this time, when the rest of the body is growing rapidly. [A 15-day-old mouse is roughly comparable to a child in kindergarten; puberty occurs at day 30-35 in mice.] The burst of cell division is driven by a surge of thyroid hormone, the researchers found. This suggests that thyroid hormone could aid in the treatment of children with congenital heart defects. In fact, doctors have already tested thyroid hormone supplementation in … Continue reading →

Non-Invasive Technique Can Identify Genetic Carriers of Eye Disease

Posted: Published on May 9th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise Orlando, Fla. Scientists have developed a non-invasive technique to determine if individuals carry a gene for an inherited eye disease known as retinitis pigmentosa. The research is being presented at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) this week in Orlando, Fla. The technique involves collecting a patients urine and measuring the ratio between specific compounds. The non-invasive process makes subsequent testing clinic-friendly, especially for children being screened. Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of inherited conditions where patients progressively lose the ability to see. Development of the disease can include night blindness and tunnel vision, eventually leading to the loss of sight. Abstract Title: Aberrant Dolichol Chain Length Distribution as Biomarkers for Retinitis Pigmentosa Associated with DHDDS Genotypes Presentation Start/End Time: Wednesday, May 7, 4pm 4:15pm Location: S 230A-D Session Number: 463 # # # The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) is the largest eye and vision research organization in the world. Members include some 12,000 eye and vision researchers from over 70 countries. ARVO encourages and assists research, training, publication and knowledge-sharing in vision and ophthalmology.

By Kate WeidawUpdated: Thursday, May 8, 2014, 7:53 amPublished: Thursday, May 8, 2014, 5:36 am AUSTIN (KXAN) In spite of the pending rain, Thursday is an opportunity to help someone fighting cancer beat it. Its being called Swab Fest. and its an effort to get more people to sign up to be stem cell donors on the national registry. The festival was organized to try and find a match for Austinite Brady Oman, 61, who found out he had leukemia at the beginning of the year. He is on his fourth round of chemo and in desperate need of a stem cell transplant, said Susan Wise, Brady Omans partner. Before Oman ended up at MD Anderson battling leukemia he thought in January a bad cold wouldnt go away. Within days he ended up at the hospital thinking it was a heart attack because he couldnt breathe or see well. They said good news you didnt have a heart attack, bad news normal high for white blood cell is 10,000 and yours is 190,000 you have leukemia and it was all in one sentence, said Wise. So far the chemo has saved his life but the clock is ticking and he … Continue reading →
