  • Ear Hair Cells Grown In Young Mice With Gene Therapy

    Updated: 2012-05-28 08:30:04
    This gene therapy only works on very young mice and more steps are needed to make it useful for reversing hearing loss in the aged. Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have shown that introducing a gene called Atoh1 into the cochleae of young mice can induce the formation of extra sensory hair cells. I want this for a very important non-aged purpose: I want to turn up the volume on music much higher than I let myself listen to now. The ability to repair damage will enable us to get damaged in ways we (or at least the more prudent among us) avoid getting damaged today. We might even be able to identify genetic variants that make more...

  • Human Stem Cells Grow In Heart Muscle

    Updated: 2012-05-25 06:08:11
    Human skin tissue, genetically reprogrammed into human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) , was able to inject the cells into rat hearts and get new heart tissue integrated to the rat hearts. For the first time scientists have succeeded in taking skin cells from heart failure patients and reprogramming them to transform into healthy, new heart muscle cells that are capable of integrating with existing heart tissue. The research, which is published online today (Wednesday) in the European Heart Journal [1], opens up the prospect of treating heart failure patients with their own, human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to repair their damaged hearts. As the reprogrammed cells would be derived from the patients themselves, this could avoid the problem of the...

    Updated: 2012-05-23 05:32:19
    (Beyond Pesticides, May 23, 2012) University of South Florida (USF) researchers find that the commonly used fungicide chlorothalonil is lethal to a variety of freshwater organisms, including amphibians, snails, zooplankton, algae and aquatic plants below estimated environmental concentrations deemed safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The research builds on a study published last [...]

  • Telomerase Gene Therapy Boosts Mouse Longevity

    Updated: 2012-05-17 03:16:35
    Longer telomere caps on chromosomes enable cells to divide more times, replace lost cells, and do repairs. Lengthening the caps on telomeres increases life expectancy in mice. A number of studies have shown that it is possible to lengthen the average life of individuals of many species, including mammals, by acting on specific genes. To date, however, this has meant altering the animals' genes permanently from the embryonic stage – an approach impracticable in humans. Researchers at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), led by its director María Blasco, have proved that mouse lifespan can be extended by the application in adult life of a single treatment acting directly on the animal's genes. And they have done so using...
