New technologies deliver in treating neurological diseases

Article Abstract:

New techniques that use RNA interference (RNAi) and osmotic pumps to deliver medicine for treating neurodegenerative diseases, which are proved effective in animal models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and are on a clinical trial to prove the same on humans. This technique can effectively control the gene encoding SOD1 in rats, and is being tested in skin cells from a patient with familial ALS.

Usage, RNA interference

Research on infectious diseases requires better coordination

Article Abstract:

The experience of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) shows the risk posed by emerging infectious diseases. There is a need to enhance global resources to investigate, detect and respond to emerging infections and to appropriately coordinate and direct research efforts to meet the challenges presented by these diseases.

Mimicry and autoantibody-mediated neuronal cell signaling in Sydenham chorea

Article Abstract:

The evidences indicating antibody-mediated neuronal cell signaling in immunopathogenesis of Sydenhum chorea is illustrated. The antibodies, antigens protein kinase assays are used to overcome this disorder are human neuronal cells.
