Exercising immediately after receiving a flu vaccine enhances the effectiveness of the vaccine, according to researchers at Iowa State University. In the study, young adults who received the flu vaccine either participated in a mild-to-moderate exercise regimen for 90 minutes immediately after receiving the vaccine, or remained sedentary for 90 minutes. Participants who exercised immediately after receiving the vaccine showed a greater level of antibody production than students who remained sedentary. Presumably the higher level of antibody production would better protect the participants who exercised against the flu, but apparently that wasn’t specifically tested in this study. (The study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.)

The mechanism whereby exercise enhances the effectiveness of the flu vaccine isn’t known yet. The study’s lead researcher speculates that by improving blood flow to some tissues, exercise may speed the delivery of the vaccine to the lymph nodes, where most antibody production takes place. But that remains to be tested.

So go ahead and exercise immediately after the flu shot if you want to: it appears to do more good than harm.Source:

Jan. 25, 2013 A new study from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) shows that tissues derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells in an experimental model were not rejected when transplanted back into genetically identical recipients. The study, published online in Cell Stem Cell, demonstrates the potential of utilizing iPS cells to develop cell types that could offer treatment for a wide range of conditions, including diabetes, liver and lung diseases, without the barrier of immune rejection.

Ashleigh Boyd, DPhil, and Neil Rodrigues, DPhil, the study's senior authors, are assistant professors of dermatology at BUSM and researchers at the Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) at Boston University and Boston Medical Center (BMC). They also are lead investigators at the National Institutes of Health's Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) at Roger Williams Medical Center, a clinical and research affiliate of BUSM.

iPS cells can be developed from adult cell types, such as skin or blood, by returning them to a stem cell state using genetic manipulation. iPS cells are capable of maturing (differentiating) into all the specific cell types in the body, making them a powerful tool for biological research and a source of tissues for transplantation based therapies. Given that iPS cells can be made in a patient-specific manner, there should be great potential for them to be transplanted back into the same patient without rejection. Yet a study published in Nature in 2011 demonstrated that iPS cells transplanted in the stem cell state were rejected in genetically identical recipients.

"The Nature study provocatively suggested that tissues derived from patient-specific iPS cells may be immunogenic after transplantation. However, it never directly assessed the immunogenicity of the therapeutically relevant cell types that could be utilized in regenerative medicine and transplantation," said Rodrigues.

The BUSM researchers evaluated this matter by taking adult cells from an experimental model and deriving iPS cells from them. They then differentiated the iPS cells into three cell types: neuronal (nerve); hepatocytes (liver); and endothelial (blood vessel lining) cells. These three cell types represent each of the three germ layers present during embryonic development -- mesoderm, ectoderm and endoderm. Cells from these layers differentiate and ultimately develop into the body's tissue and organ systems. Using experiments to mirror the potential clinical use of patient-specific iPS cells in cell therapy, the team transplanted each of the differentiated cells into a genetically identical experimental model and found no signs of an elevated immune response or indications of rejection.

The study results suggest that using patient-specific iPS cells should overcome issues of immune rejection in transplantation, which will be a significant problem for potential embryonic stem cell-derived therapies. Immune rejection in transplantation is treated clinically by immunosuppressive drugs but they can have serious side-effects, including the risk of developing cancer.

"If the use of immunosuppressive drugs can be avoided, as may be the case for patient-specific iPS cell based therapies, it would be preferable. Our results are very promising and future work should be directed at assessing whether tissues derived from human iPS cells will similarly lack immunogenicity," said Boyd.

Australian researchers have made a breakthrough that could change the treatment of HIV and AIDS using gene therapy to block the progression of the disease.

Published: Jan. 24, 2013 at 12:03 PM

Australian scientists may have hit upon a form a gene therapy that could lead to a cure for AIDS, causing the HIV virus to 'self-destruct.'

Queensland Institute of Medical Research researchers discovered a technique that changes how the HIV virus replicates in the body, creating a mutated form of the virus, the Australian Times reported.

Dr. David Harrich's team saw a breakthrough in 2007, when they discovered that the mutated HIV virus, known as Nullbasic, could block the process, called reverse transcription, that allows HIV to damage the immune system.

"With money running out, I had my PhD student try one more experiment in late 2007," Harrich told the Times. "The experiment was to test if Nullbasic could render HIV non-infectious. The student came back and said it worked, so I told him to do it again and again and again. It works every time.

Then backed by funding from the Australian Centre for HIV and Hepatitis research, Harrich's team was able to continue to test the theory that his Nullbasic gene therapy could block the exponential replication of the HIV virus.

"That study showed very clearly that it could protect human cells from HIV infection," Harrich said. "Subsequently we have protected primary human CD lymphocytes from blood from HIV infection using a gene therapy approach with outstanding results.

The increasing level of HIV, which becomes AIDS, cripples the immune system and leaves the infected individual susceptible to minor infections that their bodies would otherwise have no trouble fighting.

University of Texas researcher Edward Marcotte is neither a medical doctor nor a botanist. But using a computational algorithm, he found a connection between a disease causing deafness and a mustard plant that sometimes grows sideways. The same gene mutation causes both outcomes.

A computational algorithm is a kind of super-formula that sorts through massive sets of data to find problem-solving patterns. By focusing on proteins, which carry out the duties assigned to them by genes and are involved in almost all cell functions, Marcottes calculations have revealed numerous unlikely connections that are considered vital to understanding the inner workings of genetic diseases like cancer and heart disease.

Marcotte, 45, got his bachelors degree in molecular biology and a doctorate in biochemistry at UT, and describes his work in the chemistry and biochemistry department as basic biology. Marcotte likens himself to a kid turned loose on a playground to go exploring every day driven by all the potential discoveries just waiting to be found.

In fact, Marcotte could be considered something of an advertisement for the importance of pure as opposed to applied research. His objective, he says, is simply to understand what genes and proteins do. But its not so simple. Biologists are trying to figure out how genes work together and what each one does when its either active or inactive. These variations determine human biological characteristics, from eye color to the likelihood of developing a genetic disease.

Trying to find the tiny protein machines that make up cells and understanding those better should help with clinical research and applications, but thats not our goal, Marcotte said. Our goal is just to try to understand how cells work, to really figure out the parts to all these things.

For his work in that complicated arena, Marcotte was one of 10 scientists to win the National Institute of Healths 2012 Directors Pioneer Award. He and his research team at UT were awarded $3.85 million over the next five years to develop high-risk, high-reward technologies that would help scientists better interrogate the proteome, the set of proteins that serve as fingerprints for particular kinds of genes.

Ravi Basavappa, program director for the high-risk, high-reward research at the National Institute of Health said the technologies Marcotte proposed to develop have the clear potential to transform broad areas of biomedical science.

Such advanced work is now possible thanks to the worldwide effort to map the human genome, a project that took thousands of biologists, a billion dollars and most of the 1990s to accomplish. The process of reading a strand of DNA and revealing which genes are present and active can now be done by a machine that will sequence an entire genome, animal or vegetable, in about two days for $1,000.

Once you get the genome sequence, that tells you, in a way, the parts that an organism is capable of making and its particular version of those, Marcotte said.

The nearly 20,000 genes that make up the human genome serve as instructions on how to build proteins. Yet while biologists can now sequence a genome rapidly and with ease, they havent been able to look at a proteome, the entire set of proteins encoded by the genome, to the same degree.

"Science has attained so much power that its practical limits begin to be apparent. Largely through science, billions of us live in one small world, densely packed and intercommunicating. But science cannot help us decide what to do with that world, or how to live. Science can make a nuclear reactor, but it cannot tell us not to build it. And our world starts to seem polluted in fundamental ways -- air, water and land -- because of ungovernable science."

It's been said that "all would be well if there were no 'buts'." Unfortunately, in genetics there are many "buts" and unwary traps for unsuspecting medical consumers.

So, if you have the choice of getting genetic testing, be sure you know of the pros and cons.

There's no doubt that genetic testing is a huge benefit under certain conditions. If a disease is caught early on, a patient has the best possible chance of survival. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of genetic testing is important in deciding whether or not to undergo a test.

When this subject is discussed, most people think positively about genetic screening to diagnose for things like Down's syndrome. It would also be madness to bury one's head in the sand when there is a family history of colon cancer. By being aware that a faulty gene is present, regular colonoscopies can save lives by detecting polyps long before they become malignant.

If a genetic test demonstrates a predisposition towards an inherited disorder, the news can be depressing and a patient can be burdened with information over which he has no control.

However, knowledge of a predisposition may give the person enough time to take preventative measures, including taking medicine or adapting one's lifestyle to lower the risk of contracting a disease.

But what about the "buts"? A report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal points out the other side of the coin.

Dr James Evans, professor of genetics at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, says: "We rarely in medicine do unalloyed good, some of the tools we employ are blunt so you had better have great information before you employ them."

Double stranded break repair model
For more information, log on to- shomusbiology.weebly.com Download the study materials here- shomusbiology.weebly.com In genetics, the initial processes involved in repair of a double-strand break by synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) are identical to those in the double Holliday junction model, and have been most extensively studied in yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Following a double-stranded break, a protein complex (MRX) binds to either end of the break, working with DNA nucleases to carry out resection, resulting in 5 #39; end digest to produce 3 #39; overhangs of single-stranded DNA. These overhangs are then bound to form a nucleoprotein filament, which can then locate DNA sequences similar to one of the 3 #39; overhangs, initiating a single-stranded strand invasion into the DNA duplex containing these sequences. Once strand invasion has occurred, a displacement loop, or D-loop, is formed, at which point either SDSA or a double Holliday junction occurs.[1] Homologous recombination via the SDSA pathway occurs in both mitotic and meiotic cells as an important mechanism of non-crossover recombination, and was first suggested as a model in 1976,[2] acquiring its current name in 1994.[3] As the double Holliday junction model was the first posited in order to explain this phenomenon,[4] various versions of the SDSA model were later proposed to explain heteroduplex DNA configurations that did not match predictions of the double Holliday junction model.

Mechanism of competence generation
For more information, log on to- shomusbiology.weebly.com Download the study materials here- shomusbiology.weebly.com In microbiology, genetics, cell biology and molecular biology, competence is the ability of a cell to take up extracellular ("naked") DNA from its environment. Competence may be differentiated between natural competence, a genetically specified ability of bacteria which is thought to occur under natural conditions as well as in the laboratory, and induced or artificial competence, which arises when cells in laboratory cultures are treated to make them transiently permeable to DNA. This article primarily deals with natural competence in bacteria. Information about artificial competence is provided in the article Transformation (genetics). In the natural world DNA usually becomes available by death and lysis of other cells, but in the laboratory it is provided by the researcher, often as a genetically engineered fragment or plasmid. During uptake, DNA is transported across the cell membrane(s), and the cell wall if one is present. Once the DNA is inside the cell it may be degraded to nucleotides, which are reused for DNA replication and other metabolic functions. Alternatively it may be recombined into the cell #39;s genome by its DNA repair enzymes. If this recombination changes the cell #39;s genotype the cell is said to have been transformed. Artificial competence and transformation are used as research tools in many organisms (see Transformation (genetics)).[1 ...

1st National Convention The Truth and Fallacies about Stem Cell Therapy

January 16, 2013, Pandanggo Hall, Manila Hotel

The establishment of the Philippine Society for Stem Cell Medicine composed of physicians with interest in stem cell therapy is opportune, with the increasing demand for the use of stem cells as therapy in oncology, end organ diseases and regenerative medicine, here now in the Philippines and worldwide. I congratulate the founding members, led by Dr. Jose Sabili, your Chairman and Dr Rey Melchor Santos, your President for recognizing the need to organize and professionalize the practice of stem cell therapy in this country.

This two-day national convention, with the theme The Truth and Fallacies about Stem Cell Therapy is very timely as we in the Department of Health and the medical profession try to clear the air of misinformation and half-truths regarding this popular mode of treatment. We owe it to our patients and the general public to ensure that proper information and guidance regarding this novel medical approach is available. To protect themselves and their loved ones, the public must know the most current and accurate information about stem cells and its various applications, including some of which are purely experimental. We must ensure that only safe and ethical uses of stem cells are being used in the Philippines.

Today, we see the proliferation of centers offering stem cell treatments for medical and aesthetic purposes. Some stem cell programs here have expert personnel and clinical facilities and advanced laboratory equipment and technologies, reputed to be more advanced than other institutions abroad. We are concerned, however, that other facilities might not have the minimum capabilities especially trained personnel staff and equipment needed to perform stem cell therapies safely and effectively.
