Nanomedicine – Nanorobots in Medicine – UnderstandingNano

Posted: Published on January 10th, 2014

Future applications of nanomedicine will be based on the ability to build nanorobots. In the future these nanorobots could actually be programmed to repair specific diseased cells, functioning in a similar way to antibodies in our natural healing processes. Developing Nanorobots for Medicine Design analysis for a cell repair nanorobot: The Ideal Gene Delivery Vector: Chromallocytes, Cell Repair Nanorobots for Chromosome Repair Therapy Design analysis for an antimicrobial nanorobot: Microbivores: Artifical Mechanical Phagocytes using Digest and Discharge Protocol A Mechanical Artificial Red Cell: Exploratory Design in Medical Nanotechnology Nanorobots in Medicine: Future Applications The elimination of bacterial infections in a patient within minutes, instead of using treatment with antibiotics over a period of weeks. The ability to perform surgery at the cellular level, removing individual diseased cells and even repairing defective portions of individual cells. Significant lengthening of the human lifespan by repairing cellular level conditions that cause the body to age.

Red Blood Cells Take on Many-Sided Shape During Clotting

Posted: Published on January 10th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise PHILADELPHIA - Red blood cells are the bodys true shape shifters, perhaps the most malleable of all cell types, transforming among many other forms -- into compressed discs capable of going through capillaries with diameters smaller than the blood cell itself. While studying how blood clots contract John W. Weisel, Ph.D., professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and colleagues, discovered a new geometry that red blood cells assume, when compressed during clot formation. Although red blood cells were first visualized in the mid-17th century and studied extensively since then, this new study, published online ahead of print in the journal Blood, describes a previously unknown shape and potential new function for red blood cells. The Penn team found that red blood cells can be compressed into many-sided, closely-packed polyhedral structures instead of their free-flowing bi-concave, disc shape. Whats more, contrary to expectations, the aggregates of fibrin and platelets that make up highly contracted clots lie primarily on the clot exterior, with the red blood cells crowded within the clot interior, although the contents of clots are more homogeneous before contraction takes place. Contracted … Continue reading →

Tea Thyme in Texas fundraiser set to be held at The Overlook

Posted: Published on January 10th, 2014

Every tea cup tells a story. Residents from around the community are encouraged to bring their tea cups with the stories that go along with the glassware to the fundraiser Tea Thyme in Texas at The Overlook in Atascocita Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. This will also give residents the chance to hear Jacob Desormeauxs story of his battle of Usher Syndrome. Jacobs parents, Sonia and Kent Desormeaux, founded Eye on Jacob after Jacob was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome as a way to fundraise for research and finding a cure for the disease. Jacobs aunt, Tammy Broussard, who lives in the Humble area, wanted to host a tea time for residents in the community where they could enjoy different kinds of tea, fellowship, re-stringing pearls and fun to raise more money for the Eye on Jacob foundation. We are very excited to have the opportunity to have an event like this to raise money for Eye on Jacob, Broussard said. There isnt a lot of events like this where we get to share our love of tea and its all for a good cause. Jacob will also be on hand at the Tea Thyme in Texas where he will share … Continue reading →

At SLAS2014, ATCC Will Feature New Cell-Based Solutions That Are Designed to Support Automated Screening Technologies

Posted: Published on January 9th, 2014

Manassas, VA (PRWEB) January 09, 2014 ATCC is featuring specific cell-based solutions for screening at SLAS2014, the 3rd Annual Conference and Exhibition of the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening. Meeting attendees visiting ATCC at booth #1348 will find helpful information on hTERT immortalized cell lines, human stem cells, cancer cell panels, and reagents that are particularly suited for screening and drug discovery research. ATCC, the premier global biological materials resource and standards organization, maintains the largest collection of cells lines characterized and authenticated for use by the research community. Cell-based screening programs, especially when automated, require a stable supply of cells for extended studies. To aid in this endeavor, ATCC currently maintains over 20 human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) immortalized cell lines of different types, including epithelial cells derived from various human tissues. These cell lines represent a breakthrough in cell biology research that combines the in vivo characteristics of primary cells with the ability to survive continuously in vitro. Translational screening using human derived stem cells are gathering attention at this years meeting. Interested scientists will find information on human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) at the ATCC exhibit. These fully authenticated and … Continue reading →

B.C. Women's Hospital's umbilical cord blood bank offers gift of life

Posted: Published on January 9th, 2014

North Vancouver resident Hector Walker owes his life to stem cells derived from the umbilical cord blood of a pair of wee strangers. Walker, who is 62 and had leukemia, had no clue where his doctors at Vancouver General Hospital found the donor stem cells for his 2010 transplant. But hes grateful they did and thrilled that finding a match may become less cumbersome now that B.C. Womens Hospital will soon start asking expectant mothers to donate their newborn babies cord blood, a rich and versatile source of potentially healing stem cells. At a news conference today, the biggest maternity hospital in the province will be named as a collection site for the new National Public Cord Blood Bank. It is the second hospital in the country to get that distinction (after Ottawa) and will serve as one of only four collection sites across the country. Finding a bone marrow match was more of a problem for me because Im black. Even my brother wasnt a match, said Walker. Life is so unpredictable. People should understand they can save someones life by doing this. The hospital was designated a collection site because so many babies are delivered there (7,000 annually) … Continue reading →

Researchers study stem-cell therapy for feline kidney disease

Posted: Published on January 9th, 2014

1 hour ago by Jennifer Dimas Chronic kidney disease in older cats is the focus of a fifth clinical trial under way at Colorado State University's James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital, where veterinarians are exploring novel stem-cell therapy that could, for the first time, hold promise for treating one of the most perplexing feline diseases. CSU researchers seek area cats with the disease to participate in the clinical trial; cats with concurrent diseases are not eligible. For information about the trial and to determine eligibility for enrollment, visit col.st/1lB4KHf . Studies suggest that about 50 percent of cats older than 10 suffer from chronic kidney disease. Although the disease is very common, risk factors are poorly understood and it is tough to treat: Chronic kidney disease is considered irreversible, and treatment typically centers on slowing progression of the disease through supportive care, such as dietary changes, injected fluids and blood-pressure medication. Yet in a pilot study last year, CSU veterinarians determined that stem-cell therapy could provide a new treatment option for cats. After preliminary results, the research team is further investigating the ability of stem cells to repair damaged kidneys. Veterinarians are intrigued by use of stem-cell therapy for … Continue reading →
