What Happens to Bacteria in Space?

Posted on by

In the otherwise barren space 220 miles above Earth’s surface, a capsule of life-sustaining oxygen and water orbits at 17,000 miles per hour. You might know this capsule as the International Space Station (ISS), currently home to six humansand untold billions of bacteria. Microbes have always followed us to the frontiers, but it’s only now that scientists at NASA and elsewhere are seriously investigating what happens when we bring Earth’s microbes into space.

Wistar findings suggest link between colon microbiome and genome stability

Posted on by

Colorectal cancer develops in what is probably the most complex environment in the human body, a place where human cells cohabitate with a colony of approximately 10 trillion bacteria, most of which are unknown. At the 2014 American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting in San Diego, researchers from The Wistar Institute will present findings that suggest the colon “microbiome” of gut bacteria can change the tumor microenvironment in a way that promotes the growth and spread of tumors. Their results suggest that bacterial virulence proteins may suppress DNA repair proteins within the epithelial cells that line the colon.

City may change leash law for beaches

Posted on by

The recommendation from the citys Ad Hoc Committee on Dogs could include designating Good Harbor and Wingaersheek beaches as off-leash areas for folks who want to frolic with their Fidos a little more freely. Steve LeBlanc, the Ward 3 city councilor who chaired the ad hoc committee, said the current recommendation which he admitted could change before it is presented to the Ordinances and Administration subcommittee on April 14 and then to a public hearing on April 22 is designed to provide dog owners with a little more latitude when it comes to taking their dogs off the leash. Right now, if your dogs are off the leash in the city of Gloucester outside of the dog park, youre breaking the law, LeBlanc said Wednesday

Systemic stem cell therapy reduces malignant mesothelioma growth

Posted on by

By Sara Freeman, medwireNews Reporter Systemic delivery of stem cells expressing an apoptosis-inducing protein can successfully incorporate into malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cells and subsequently induce their death, according to preclinical study findings. While further validation is needed, the research opens up the possibility of using stem cell therapy to decrease tumour burden in this rare and largely untreatable type of lung cancer. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are attractive candidates as vectors for anticancer therapies for a variety of reasons, say Sam Janes (University College London, UK) and colleagues who performed the study

Boffins say dark matter found with X-ray

Posted on by

Ten ways to transform your business in a digital economy Two teams working on the search for dark matter have independently suggested the search could concentrate at a specific X-ray wavelength, following study of data collected by the XMM-Newton space observatory. While it’s not a proof of anything just yet, the two groups one from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, the other from the Netherlands’ Leiden Observatory have spotted a spectrographic line in X-rays at 3.5 kiloelectron volts, and this line is observed across 73 galaxy clusters

Genetic Cures for the Gut

Posted on by

See Inside Image: Marek Haiduk We rely on trillions of bacteria, fungi, archaea and viruses in our mouth, on our skin and in our gut to get through the day and to stay healthy. Scientists had no way to study most of these microbes, which do not seem to want to grow in laboratory cultures. Rapidly improving, low-cost genetic-sequencing technologies are finally making it possible, however

Posted on by

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 20, 2014 Follow us on LinkedIn Genes can be defined as the basic molecular units of heredity in a living organism, holding information on creating and maintaining the cells of an organism and passing genetic traits to its offspring. Radio controlled genes refers to remotely activating genes inside the human body through the use of electromagnetic waves to guide the movement of nanoparticles injected inside the body. As the next frontier of medical science, radio controlled genes is attracting immense R&D interest and investment, given its potential to offer non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment possibilities.
