Sandalwood oil extract an effective prostate cancer treatment in mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 441 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new study has found that, in mouse models of prostate cancer, a compound extracted from sandalwood oil was effective in slowing the onset and growth of tumors and resulted in cell death. Further research will explore whether the extract can be used to treat prostate cancer in humans.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Tumor, Florida Atlantic University
Reprogrammed T cells make mice (and maybe us) age slower
Posted by ArielTechGeek 461 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have used reprogrammed CAR T cells, usually used as a cancer treatment, to target the senescent cells that contribute to aging and later-life diseases. After one treatment, old mice showed improved metabolism and exercise tolerance, while young ones aged slower and were protected from age-related diseases like obesity and diabetes for life.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTag
Urine-powered nanobots shrink bladder cancer tumors in mice by 90%
Posted by ArielTechGeek 470 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have developed a novel way to treat bladder cancer. Powered by urea, a waste substance found in urine, nanobots propel themselves to and penetrate the tumor to deliver their onboard radioactive treatment. After one dose, tumors in mouse models shrank by almost 90%, opening the door to a promising alternative treatment for this cancer, which tends to recur.Continue ReadingCategory: Med
Activating certain brain cells slows aging and boosts lifespan in mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 472 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Slowing down the dreaded aging process is something that everybody’s interested in, and now scientists have uncovered a new pathway to doing so. The team identified a feedback loop in the brain, and found that ramping up its activity helped mice live longer and healthier.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Aging, anti-aging, Washington University in St Louis, Molecules, Fat cells, Bra
Mice have innate gene therapy agent to sidestep mutations, study finds
Posted by ArielTechGeek 501 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have discovered that mice possess a natural form of gene therapy, a non-coding RNA that can sidestep genetic mutations. They were able to engineer a programmable version that recognized specific genetic mutations and might be used to treat genetic diseases in humans.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: RNA, Genetics, gene therapy, Hokkaido University
Reducing intake of one amino acid improves longevity & health in mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 524 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
New research has found that reducing the intake of a single amino acid, isoleucine, by two-thirds, improved the lifespan, weight, and health of middle-aged mice without requiring a drop in calorie intake. The findings suggest that limiting dietary levels of isoleucine may be a key to healthy aging.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Amino Acids, Diet, Aging, University of Wisconsin
