Successful Cardiac Repair Depends on Maturity of Transplanted Stem Cells
A team of Japanese cells biologists has shown that the likelihood of stem cell therapy successfully repairing damaged heart muscle depends to large extent on the maturity of the stem cells at the time they are transplanted into the damaged organ. More...18 Jan 2016
Secondary Bile Acids in the Large Intestine Inhibit Clostridium difficile Growth
Secondary bile acids that result from bacterial metabolism in the large intestine inhibit the growth of the pathogenic bacterium Clostridium difficile, but when bile acid levels are disrupted by antibiotic treatment, C. difficile is able to flourish. More...17 Jan 2016
New Drug Research and Development Program to Focus on the Gut Microbiome
Two biotechnology companies have agree to collaborate on a program to develop and commercialize drugs derived from gut bacteria for the treatment of chronic gastrointestinal disorders such as ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome. More...17 Jan 2016
Deleting the Dicer DNA-Repair Enzyme Increases Sensitivity of Cancer Cells to Chemotherapy
Blocking the activity of the enzyme Dicer in rapidly growing cancer cells prevents them from correcting DNA damage, which renders them more sensitive to the action of chemotherapeutic drugs. More...12 Jan 2016
