Platelet Activation Linked to Development of Cerebral Malaria
Parasitologists have found that red blood cells infected with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum activate platelets that secrete PF4 protein, which causes an inflammatory response in blood vessels that obstructs capillaries in the brain. More...02 Sep 2008
New Technique to Manipulate Genetic Material Developed by Consortium
A multi-institutional team of researchers has developed a powerful tool for genomic research and medicine, which should allow them to generate synthetic enzymes that can target and manipulate DNA sequences for inactivation or repair. More...29 Aug 2008
Trial Initiated to Evaluate Compound for Molecular Imaging of Apoptosis
New imaging compounds have shown selective uptake in apoptotic cells in a variety of disease models, including solid tumors undergoing radio- and chemotherapy, different ischemic and inflammatory conditions, neurodegenerative disorders, atherosclerosis, acute myocardial infarction and others.
