Posted: Published on April 10th, 2014

Please choose from the following list of questions for information about gene therapy, an experimental technique that uses genetic material to treat or prevent disease. On this page: Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patients cells instead of using drugs or surgery. Researchers are testing several approaches to gene therapy, including: Replacing a mutated gene that causes disease with a healthy copy of the gene. Inactivating, or knocking out, a mutated gene that is functioning improperly. Introducing a new gene into the body to help fight a disease. Although gene therapy is a promising treatment option for a number of diseases (including inherited disorders, some types of cancer, and certain viral infections), the technique remains risky and is still under study to make sure that it will be safe and effective. Gene therapy is currently only being tested for the treatment of diseases that have no other cures. MedlinePlus from the National Library of Medicine offers a list of links to information about genes and gene therapy. Educational resources related to gene therapy are … Continue reading

Gene, immune therapy help cancer war

Posted: Published on April 10th, 2014

Stanford University researcher Irving Weissman explains how the drug Rituxan, generically called rituximab, improves the cancer-killing effect of a new antibody that renders cancer cells vulnerable to immune attack. He spoke Monday, April 7, at the American Association for Cancer Research meeting in San Diego. The war on cancer is getting some potent reinforcements, including a potentially broad-spectrum new weapon and genetically engineered immune cells with improved cancer-fighting abilities, speakers said at a major cancer research conference held this week in San Diego. The American Association for Cancer Research, attended by an estimated 18,000 participants, is being held at the San Diego Convention Center through Wednesday. While it is covering the gamut of research, cancer immunotherapy is a major focus. The field began more than 100 years ago, and has lately scored impressive advances by using gene therapy to its tool kit. The weapon is an antibody that makes a wide range of cancer cells vulnerable to immune attack. It's close to entering human clinical trials, said Irving L. Weissman, a Stanford University professor leading that project. The antibody neutralizes a chemical signal many cancers exude to decoy the immune system, Weissman said in a Monday morning plenary session. The … Continue reading

Gene Medicine and Health

Posted: Published on April 10th, 2014

Gene medicine is making breakthroughs for health questions that have baffled humanity for centuries. Gene therapy is the applicable aspect of the science of gene medicine. Treatments are being developed that can reverse genetic diseases at the molecular level. Health questions that have previously be unanswered are now being solved. Health questions like how to remedy chronic pain are now being clinically tested and the gene therapy is already showing substantial subsiding of pain for the clinical trial patients. As countries put more funding into gene medicine, and more collaboration takes place between those countries, many of the health questions that we have today will be answered in the next decade Gene medicine is one of the medical disciplines that affect all aspects of human health. From allergies, bone growth and cell development. Gene medicine is also one of the most mysterious to those with health questions as the science is only recognized in the media when discoveries are made. However, research is going on everyday in the field of gene medicine and breakthroughs, while they dont happen everyday, are happening more often. Gene medicine is beginning to look deeper into how dieseases can be blocked, removed and altered using … Continue reading

Embryology – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Posted: Published on April 10th, 2014

Embryology (from Greek , embryon, "the unborn, embryo"; and -, -logia) is the science of the development of an embryo from the fertilization of the ovum to the fetus stage. After cleavage, the dividing cells, or morula, becomes a hollow ball, or blastula, which develops a hole or pore at one end. In bilateral animals, the blastula develops in one of two ways that divides the whole animal kingdom into two halves (see: Embryological origins of the mouth and anus). If in the blastula the first pore (blastopore) becomes the mouth of the animal, it is a protostome; if the first pore becomes the anus then it is a deuterostome. The protostomes include most invertebrate animals, such as insects, worms and molluscs, while the deuterostomes include the vertebrates. In due course, the blastula changes into a more differentiated structure called the gastrula. The gastrula with its blastopore soon develops three distinct layers of cells (the germ layers) from which all the bodily organs and tissues then develop: Embryos in many species often appear similar to one another in early developmental stages. The reason for this similarity is because species have a shared evolutionary history. These similarities among species are called … Continue reading

Posted: Published on April 10th, 2014

From New World Encyclopedia Embryology is the branch of developmental biology that studies embryos and their development. The field of developmental biology encompasses the overall study of the process by which organisms grow and develop, including cell growth, cellular differentiation, and, "morphogenesis," which is the process that gives rise to tissues, organs, and anatomy. Embryology, a subfield of developmental biology, is the study of organisms between the one-cell stage (generally, the zygote) and the end of the embryonic stage, which is not necessarily the beginning of free living. Embryology was originally a more descriptive science until the twentieth century. Embryology and developmental biology today deal with the various steps necessary for the correct and complete formation of the body of a living organism. The wonder by which a single, fertilized egg differentiates into diverse cells, tissues, organs, and systems of a fully formed organismthe heart, lungs, brain, arms, endocrine system, muscles, and bones of a human, for instanceremains a mystery that embryologists attempt to unravel. Embryology is the classic study of morphological changes within the embryo. Aristotle is said to be the first person to undertake a study in embryology. Aristotle observed the ontogeny of chicken embryos by breaking open … Continue reading
