| Engineering excitable cells for studies of bioelectricity and cell therapy Posted: 19 Jul 2011 01:15 PM PDT By altering the genetic makeup of normally "unexcitable" cells, bioengineers have turned them into cells capable of generating and passing electrical current.  |
| Gene therapy delivered once to blood vessel wall protects against atherosclerosis in rabbit studies Posted: 19 Jul 2011 12:19 PM PDT A one-dose method for delivering gene therapy into an arterial wall effectively protects the artery from developing atherosclerosis despite ongoing high blood cholesterol, according to new research in rabbits.  |
| New mouse model for testing cancer drugs Posted: 19 Jul 2011 08:43 AM PDT Only one in twenty cancer drugs makes its way from the laboratory to the market. The majority of new agents are only shown to be unsuitable in the later phases of clinical development which would explain the exorbitantly high development costs. A new mouse model could help researchers to recognize effects and side effects at an earlier stage.  |
