DNA faults hold key to schizophrenia?

noreply@blogger.com (Apple-Nellie) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 05:55:00 +0000

"We are beginning the work of trying to understand a disease of the most complicated organ in our body – the brain. It is the last frontier of biology," Dr Stefansson said. "Schizophrenia is a disorder affecting thoughts and emotions. It is therefore a quintessentially human disease, but one that is little understood biologically and which is difficult to diagnose."

Gene therapy trial for aggressive brain cancer

noreply@blogger.com (Apple-Nellie) — Tue, 20 May 2008 20:16:00 +0000

Human trials are about to start of a form of gene therapy that shows great promise in treating one of the worst kinds of cancer.

Glioblastoma multiforme is one of the most common and most aggressive of the 100 or so types of brain cancers. The resulting tumours are a surgeon's nightmare, being irregularly shaped, with poorly defined borders. They spread easily and kill between six months and year of diagnosis, given that neither surgery, radiotherapy or drugs can halt the disease.

Now a study in laboratory rats, conducted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, Los Angeles, supports a plan to launch a Phase 1 human trial of the gene therapy later this year on 20 patients.

Senator Edward Kennedy has brain tumor.
Doctors at the Massachusetts General Hospital said a malignant tumour, or glioma, was found on the 76-year-old's left parietal lobe during tests that followed a major seizure over the weekend.
His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes aggressive combinations of radiation and chemotherapy. Patients diagnosed with a glioma are commonly given one to five years to live.
Dr Lee Schwamm, vice chairman of the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, said in a statement that Mr Kennedy "remained in good spirits". "He has had no further seizures, remains in good overall condition, and is up and walking around the hospital," he said.

IAI Infection And Immunity

noreply@blogger.com (Apple-Nellie) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 01:01:00 +0000

Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common opportunistic disease and a potentially fatal complication among immunocompromised individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Effective vaccination against TB in persons with HIV has been considered unlikely because of the central role that CD4 cells play in controlling tuberculous infections. Here we show that the vaccination of CD8−/− mice with a TB DNA vaccine cocktail did not significantly enhance protective responses to a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In contrast, immunization with a DNA vaccine cocktail or with the current TB vaccine, Mycobacterium bovis BCG, induced considerable antituberculosis protective immunity in immune-deficient mice lacking CD4 cells. In vaccinated CD4−/− animals, substantially reduced bacterial burdens in organs and much improved lung pathology were seen 1 month after an aerogenic M. tuberculosis challenge. Importantly, the postchallenge mean times to death of vaccinated CD4−/− mice were significantly extended (mean with DNA cocktail, 172 ± 7 days; mean with BCG, 156 ± 22 days) compared to that of naïve CD4−/− mice (33 ± 6 days). Furthermore, the treatment of DNA-vaccinated CD4−/− mice with an anti-CD8 or anti-gamma interferon (IFN-γ) antibody significantly reduced the effect of immunization, and neither IFN-γ−/− nor tumor necrosis factor receptor-deficient mice were protected by DNA immunization; therefore, the primary vaccine-induced protective mechanism in these immune-deficient mice likely involves the secretion of cytokines from activated CD8 cells. The substantial CD8-mediated protective immunity that was generated in the absence of CD4 cells suggests that it may be possible to develop effective TB vaccines for use in HIV-infected populations.
