A team of highly trained and qualified biochemistry students embark on a mission to help a UWI Biology/ Environmental major student make the most important decision of her life. In order to do this the team uses all their biochemistry skills to tutor her on a topic called "The Urea Cycle". Watch and see how the Biochemable Force completes their mission. Look out for fun pics at the end with an exclusive fight scene and maybe a dance somewhere.From:BiochemJMViews:3 4ratingsTime:15:00More inEducation

Skimmer - A Question of Degree
Skimmer are a pop punk band from Birmingham, formed in 1993. This song is from their 1998 album "Vexed", released by Crackle! records. Lyrics: How can I tell Laura D who studies biochemistry/ That someone in molecular genetics really fancies her/ It #39;s all a question of degree/ And there #39;s a science block between her and I. Where to start?/ With a smile or with a card?/ I can #39;t vent my spleen/ until I #39;ve learnt what that means. I don #39;t write poetry and what I say is usually best unsaid/ My words get jumbled up and come out wrong or slurred/ So I #39;ve got no easy answers in my head/ Wish I #39;d done literature instead. But if I break things down/ to the nth, be protein/ Then I #39;d change more to her taste/ Be her friendFrom:Alex IossifidisViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:37More inMusic

Collagen might reduce cancer treatment side effects, CSULB reseacher hopes to prove

Posted on by

LONG BEACH - Collagen is widely known as the substance used in plastic surgery to firm lips and smooth wrinkles.

But researchers are now hoping that the protein, a naturally occurring substance in the body, may hold the key for better cancer treatments that minimize painful side effects.

At Cal State Long Beach, biochemistry professor Katarzyna Slowinska is researching new ways to fight cancer with the use of collagen. This year, she received a four-year, $433,500 grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue her studies on how short strands of amino acids, called peptides, can serve as tiny delivery vehicles for cancer treatments.

Slowinska said collagen, a main building block in human connective tissue, has strong molecules that can be manipulated into carrying and releasing cancer drugs into tumors and even inside tumor cells.

"Collagen has the structure of a triple helix, so it looks like DNA, but instead of having two helices, it has three strands twisted together," she said. "This triple helix makes collagen rigid and strong, which is why it is a main component of connective tissues."

Slowinska said cancer cells are difficult to distinguish from healthy cells, so traditional treatments flood the body with medicine in order to target the abnormal cells. The process, however, is taxing on the body and can cause side effects such as hair loss, exhaustion and organ failure.

Slowinska hopes her research can

"Collagen is naturally derived and it's safer than other treatments so you will not have the bad side effects," she said.

Slowinska, along with 18 of her students, are testing seven lines of cancer cells known to be affected by the drug Paclitaxel, which is used in chemotherapy.

She plans to test other treatments and eventually move on to animal testing. Slowinska hopes her research will add to the larger body of knowledge on how to fight cancer and other diseases.

Researching potential curing or slowing down of cardiovascular disease

Posted on by

A University of Canterbury student is researching key cell biology processes that may be useful in curing or slowing down the development of many diseases such as strokes and heart attacks.

Nelsons Ben Walters is at the end of his fourth year of UC study working toward a Master of Science in Biochemistry. His area of research is on cardiovascular disease which is a leading cause of mortality in most developed countries, largely due to the ageing population and sedentary lifestyles.

In New Zealand heart attacks and strokes result are responsible for 40 percent of annual deaths, affecting around 10,000 people. Cardiovascular disease involves the build-up of fatty materials such as cholesterol in the cells within the arterial walls in a process known as atherosclerosis.

Fat deposition within the cells begins in teenage years and after enough time, blood circulation can be impaired through artery stiffening and plaque formation. These plaques can eventually rupture and form blood clots that deprive tissues of oxygen and other nutrients.

Depending on the location of clot formation, the resulting tissue damage can be in the form of a heart attack or stroke.

My project is looking at how cells involved in cardiovascular disease regulate production of an antioxidant called 7,8-dihydroneopterin. Antioxidants are protective molecules that protect cells against oxidative stress, a process involved in cardiovascular as well as many other diseases, Walters said today.

An increased understanding of how cells produce such molecules many one day lead to therapeutic drugs to modulate antioxidant production. Such interventional strategies may be useful in curing or slowing down the development of many diseases.

Biochemistry and medical research are extraordinarily fields to be involved in. Everything feels incredibly applicable, as the very processes we learn about are occurring inside ourselves and all other life on the planet.

It is also very rewarding to know that the relatively small contribution that I am making to the vast scientific literature, may one day lead to the development of medicines which could save and improve the quality of millions of lives around the world.

The University of Canterbury has been a great place to study, where world leading facilities/research laboratories and excellent teaching staff means anyone with the inclination can be inspired and excel in their field of interest.

Dr. Woraphong Manuskiatti to Present Pollogen’s TriLipo Technology for Cellulite and Circumference Reduction at the …

Posted on by

Dr. Manuskiatti will demonstrate results of a study on TriLipo RF combined with Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA) for circumference reduction, treatment of abdominal cellulite and skin tightening. Study results show a significant reduction in tummy circumference and decrease in subcutaneous tissue thickness measured 4 weeks after last treatment. 84% of the patients were satisfied with their body contouring outcome.

Pollogen's TriLipo technology is available via the Maximus platform and is an advanced aesthetic breakthrough treatment that delivers immediate and long-lasting body shaping and facial contouring results.

(PRWEB) October 30, 2012

TriLipo Technology is available via the Maximus platform and delivers two effective technologies (TriLipo RF and TriLipo DMA) via a single applicator. TriLipo radiofrequency (RF) is used for wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, cellulite treatment and localized fat reduction. TriLipo DMA is used for muscle activation on the body to improve drainage and on the face to lift the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System). Together these technologies complement each other to provide enhanced anti-aging and body contouring results.

Dr. Manuskiatti stated: TriLipo with Dynamic Muscle Activation is a beneficial and safe option for the reduction of abdominal circumference and fat thickness. It is also favorable for skin tightening, improvement of striae, body contouring, cellulite treatment, localized fat reduction and more.

With the Maximus platform application of this treatment modality is simple, non-invasive and safe on all skin types and can be administered on most body and facial areas. Qualitative as well as quantitative assessments have shown that the improvements are maintained as long-term effect.

Mr. Amichai Bar Nir CEO of Pollogen stated: We are pleased that Dr. Manuskiatti will be presenting TriLipo to this distinguished international panel.

"Pollogen is constantly working on innovative solutions for evolving aesthetic needs. We strive to deliver the safest and most effective anti-aging and body contouring treatments in convenient 'walk-in walk-out' procedures.

The DASIL conference is an international gathering dedicated to ongoing educational activities and to establishing a higher standard of care for dermatological and aesthetics treatments.
