Multiple Sclerosis: Enhanced White Blood Cells Heal Mice

( Source: MEDICA.de )

Photo: Damaged cells [03/06/2013] Genetically engineered immune cells seem to promote healing in mice infected with a neurological disease similar to multiple sclerosis (MS), cleaning up lesions and allowing the mice to regain use of their legs and tails.Multiple Sclerosis: Enhanced White Blood Cells Heal Mice - Read more

Cells: Tumor-activated Protein Promotes Cancer Spread

Photo: Metastasis [15/05/2013] Researchers at the University of California report that cancers physically alter cells in the lymphatic system – a network of vessels that transports and stores immune cells throughout the body – to promote the spread of disease, a process called metastasis.Cells: Tumor-activated Protein Promotes Cancer Spread - Read more

Nerves: Reversing Paralysis with Restorative Gel

Photo: Nerve cells connect [14/05/2013] Some parts of the body, like the liver, can regenerate themselves after damage. But others, such as our nervous system, are considered either irreparable or slow to recover, leaving thousands with a lifetime of pain, limited mobility, or even paralysis.Nerves: Reversing Paralysis with Restorative Gel - Read more

Cancer Cells: Stability for the Genome

( Source: MEDICA.de )

Photo: DNA [10/05/2013] In cancer cells, the genome is often in a chaotic, unstable state. Now, a research group from the Würzburg Biocenter, Germany, found out which enzymes can stabilize DNA.Cancer Cells: Stability for the Genome - Read more

Matrix: Cells Control Neuronal Connections

( Source: MEDICA.de )

Photo: Neuron in the net [07/05/2013] Environment moulds behaviour - and not just that of people in society, but also at the microscopic level. This is because, for their function, neurons are dependent on the cell environment, the so-termed extracellular matrix. Matrix: Cells Control Neuronal Connections - Read more
