Swedish hope HDAC inhibitors can wipe out blood clots
Swedish researchers believe that HDAC inhibitors, substances common to some cancer and epilepsy drugs, may also be used to help prevent heart attacks. HDAC inhibitors are used to treat cancer because
Discovery reveals possible way to engineer blood vessels to deliver drugs
Children's Hospital Boston researchers believe they have may have found a way to genetically engineer blood vessels to secrete recombinant, protein-based drugs directly into the bloodstream--on...
Growth factor delivery method makes long-lasting blood vessels
Growth factors are very potent molecules that control many different functions in our bodies. They're so potent that if any are caught just roaming free, the body destroys them immediately. This is a
New cell harvesting method used in tissue regeneration
Scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College have developed a new method to harvest a rich source of endothelial cells which could then be used to create new blood vessels or help regenerate organs
Nanoparticle program delivers anti-cancer therapy
A research team at Washington University in St. Louis has combined a nanoparticle platform used in imaging growing blood vessels and combined it with the fungal drug fumagillin to create a new
Mutant proteins could treat blocked arteries
A researcher at Florida State University College of Medicine has been studying mutant human proteins that could spur the body to develop new blood vessels, offering a radical new approach to treating
Gene therapy advance a better way to target genes
A team of scientists led by British Nobel laureate Sir Aaron Klug has advanced a new approach to gene therapy. The team has designed zinc-fingered nucleases that can recognize a specific sequence of
Scientists herald "breakthrough" on blindness
Activating the Robo4 protein in mice helped them to develop working blood vessels and ward off the kind of common physical damage that leads to blindness. And the work may point to new therapies for
Humacyte sees success developing blood vessels
Starting off with a batch of donor cells, researchers at Humacyte have developed a collagen matrix from which the cells are then extracted, leaving an 'acellular' material that can be used to craft
ALSO NOTED: Stem cells used to create blood vessels; Molecular switch found for breast cancer;
Stem Cell Research A group of South Korean scientists used embryonic stem cells to create blood vessels that were later successfully grafted into animals suffering from ischemia. This approach could
