Paracetamol, one of most used analgesics, could slow down bone growth

UGR scientists stress the need for controlling the use of paracetamol, as it has been proved "in vitro" that it slows down bone regeneration. Their work has demonstrated that applying plasma rich in growth factors, from the patients themselves and applied on the bones, accelerates cell growth. Therefore, it could also be used to regenerate wounds or ulcers when applied over soft tissue. Results of this research have been published in prestigious journals such as Bioscience Reports, Oral Diseases and Physiology and Biochemistry among others.

   A new method of treatment can appreciably slow down the progress of the fatal brain disease scrapie in mice. This has been established by German researchers from the Universities of Munich and Bonn together with their colleagues at the Max Planck Institute in Martinsried. They used an effect discovered by the US researchers Craig Mello and Andrew Fire, for which they were awarded this year's Nobel Prize for Medicine.

   A commonly used herbal supplement, triphala, has cancer-fighting properties that prevent or slow the growth of pancreatic cancer tumors implanted in mice, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, April 14-18. When fed orally to mice, triphala induced apoptosis in cancer cells.

   01-16-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the major cancer killers. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been widely used as a combined therapy in treating the disease in China. How TCM works is still unknown. A research group in China has found TCM can down-regulate the expression of PTEN (Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog deleted on Chromosome 10) in HCC which may suppress tumor cell growth and regulate tumor cell invasion and metastasis.

   A drug originally used to treat iron poisoning can significantly boost the body's ability to heal and regrow injured bones, according to a new study. Bone density following the new treatment more than doubled. Researchers found new blood vessel growth, necessary for bone healing, was achieved through a cell pathway.

   Bone-forming cells grow faster and produce more calcium on anodized titanium covered in carbon nanotubes compared with plain anodized titanium and the non-anodized version currently used in orthopaedic implants, new Brown University research shows. The work, published in Nanotechnology, uncovers a new material that can be used to make more successful implants. The research also shows tantalizing promise for an all-new device: a "smart" implant that can sense and report on bone growth.

9. Stem cells may look malignant, not act it
   05-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Bone marrow stem cells attracted to the site of a cancerous growth frequently take on the outward appearance of the malignant cells around them. But whether they contribute to cancer, as some scientists suspect, is not entirely clear. The findings contest the increasingly popular theory that bone marrow stem cells seed cancer. Instead, these cells might simply look like cancer, not act like it.

10. Immune cell communication key to hunting viruses, Jefferson immunologists show
    10-25-2006 · EurekAlert!
    Immunologists have used nanotechnology to create a novel "biosensor" to solve in part a perplexing problem in immunology: how the immune system's killer T-cells hunt down invading viruses. They have found that surprisingly little virus can turn on killer T-cells, thanks to some complicated communication among "antigen presenting" proteins that recognize and attach to the virus, making it visible to the immune system. Presenting proteins cooperate, spreading a signal among receptors and boosting T-cell response.
