Through a combination of nano-particles obtained of compounds of the venom of a scorpion are being investigated their effects on the treatment of brain cancer at the University of Washington, the researchers found that could reduce the spread of cancer cells in a 98 percent.

For more than a decade scientists have studied the use chlorotoxin, a small peptide isolated from scorpion venom, in order to treat cancer cells.

Chlorotoxin joins a protein from the surface of many types of tumors, including the brain cancer, the previous investigation combined with chlorotoxin to gauge scale particles of iron oxide.

Chlorotoxin also alters the spread of tumors invasive specifically, slows the invasion of cells and the ability of cancer cells to penetrate the array of protection that surrounds the cell and allows you to travel to a different area of the body to begin a new type cancer.

If you walk is a neither common activity, the exit to run nor left behind. As stated in the previous article, running and walking are two activities extremely common within the common of the population.

And if you walk has its characteristics to return to this activity something that should not be taken lightly, nor in this going out to run left behind, is more, is a highly sensitive activity. As with regard to undertake a routine walk, the exit to run also needs to be adopted a strategy of gradual allowing go rising levels of gradually and neat without overloading abrupt that can only cause problems in the locomotive.

Probably the exit to run you better rather than a walk if it is that interests you develops your physical state of a more intensively. If so, leaving to run is a wise decision and intelligent (in the personal is the physical activity that practice, but now a month ago that I have stagnated), but you must take certain precautions at the time of undertaken.

One of them is the one on the footwear. Under no circumstances you happen to you can leave to run with fine shoes. It is imperative that run with proper shoes to cushion your weight, because otherwise you can suffer injuries in your ankles and hips, but especially in the knees. Read the rest of this entry »

To take such broad effects the I3C must act in the beginning of an important via phone, said Firestone, according to the new pins research to this activity elastase and its effect on the ciclina E.

Pointed out that I3C is available as a complement and you prefer a preventive treatment for respiratory papillomatosis recurrent, a condition for malignant tumors of the larynx, improved versions of the chemical could help treat cancers different types such as breast and prostate.

The laboratory of the teams that are currently probing the structure of elastase I3C and how interacts to identify the best parts of the molecule of I3C change.

I3C is only one of the many derived from the plant of chemicals, called phytochemicals, which Firestone is investigating in his laboratory as a potential against agents of the cancer. Read the rest of this entry »

On many scientific work dealing exclusively with the flu viruses, we have investigated the manner in which the host reacts to an infection, said Klaus Schughart, head of the investigation.

The infection in the experiments that researchers have discovered now is an immune response over the responsible for the fatal disease in laboratory animals.

This reaction has roots genetic and the results have been published in the scientific journal PLoS ONE.

Investigated the manner in which the immune system of laboratory animals responded to the virus.

“They die because of their own immune defenses, they are supposed to protect them against the virus, and since it immune system produces too many messengers, which have a strong effect on the activation of the immune cells.

These cells then kill cells in the lung tissues that are infected with the virus “, said Schughart, at the same time, these cells are also hyperactive in destroying the lung tissue healthy. Read the rest of this entry »

The researchers from Marshall University School of Medicine in Huntington, West Virginia, found that the laboratory animals bred for breast cancer has a risk significantly less of breast cancer if they eat with the human equivalent to a handful of nuts a day.

“The nuts are better than cookies or potato chips when you need a snack,” says Elaine Hardman, one of the researchers working in the study.

“We know that a healthy diet in general avoids any type of chronic diseases,” he said.

“The nuts contain several ingredients, individually, it has proved effective against cancer of slow growth, since they have omega-3, antioxidants and phytosterols,” the team of Hardman wrote in a summary presented at the annual meeting in Denver of the American Association for Cancer Research’s.

So in study determined that the laboratories animals that eat nuts have fewer and smaller breast tumors, and even appear did so much later than in the other control animals.

“It is clear that the nuts contribute to a healthy diet that can reduce breast cancer”. Read the rest of this entry »
