Toothpaste chemical 'that can leave unborn babies brain damaged' Scientists say triclosan poses a danger of brain damage to unborn babies A chemical in toothpastes and soaps has been linked with brain damage to babies in the womb. Scientists fear pregnant women who are exposed to high levels of the chemical, called triclosan, may be putting their babies at risk. Alarming new findings suggest triclosan may disrupt the flow of blood to the uterus, starving a baby’s brain of the oxygen it needs to develop properly. Professor Margaret James of the University of Florida said: ‘We know it’s a problem. But we just don’t know how much of a problem.’ Triclosan is a powerful anti-bacterial that was d...

It's very disturbing and sad how many things can seriously affect children. Many companies need to think twice about the chemicals that they use in their products and the people that may potentially use them.

A new stem cell has been discovered in the developing human brain. The cell produces nerve cells that help form the neocortex – the site of higher cognitive function—and likely accounts for the dramatic expansion of the region in the lineages that lead to man.In rodents and humans, the developing cortex contains a layer of neural stem cells called radial glial cells that resides near the fluid-filled ventricles and produces cells that are precursors to neurons. These precursor neurons can further proliferate in a region known as the subventricular zone (SVZ), to increase their numbers, and then differentiate into newborn neurons. The neurons then migrate along radial glial fibers up to the ...

All the stem cell technologies in the research. also we cant think that a single stem cell can develop all the things. I think there should be something else that should be responsible for all that development. We cant see things that does not...

Two key treatments do not halt diabetes in people with early signs of the disease, a large study has found.Researchers said the results showed the only way to ensure future health in people at high risk of diabetes is exercise and a healthy diet. Trials in more than 9,000 people also found no reduction in future heart problems in people prescribed two drug treatments compared with dummy pills. Diabetes UK said 7m people in the UK are at risk of developing diabetes. Everyone taking part in the study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, had been diagnosed with what doctors call 'impaired glucose tolerance'. It effectively means that people have high blood sugar and their bodies ...

The decision to bank cord blood is a hot topic these days. Cord blood contains stem cells that are the building blocks of our blood and immune system. Drawn from the umbilical cord at the time of childbirth it is becoming more practiced as expectant parents are being exposed to information on the subject via the media, their doctors and their government. Cord blood stem cells from one umbilical cord at the time of birth can potentially treat any member of your immediate family. It is now an accepted fact within the medical establishment that cord blood stem cells from the umbilical cord can treat (and sometimes cure) over 70 life-threatening diseases, including a wide range of cancers, gene...

Molecular Informatics utilises many ideas and concepts to find relationships between molecules. The concept of similarity, where molecules may be grouped according to their biological effects or physicochemical properties has found extensive use in drug discovery. Some areas of particular interest have been in lead discovery and compound optimisation. For example, in designing libraries of compounds for lead generation, one approach is to design sets of compounds ‘similar’ to known active compounds in the hope that alternative molecular structures are found that maintain the properties required while enhancing e.g. patentability, medicinal chemistry opportunities or even in achieving optimi...

In what researchers at Newcastle University in the U.K. have dubbed a 'eureka moment,' a miniature human liver has been grown artificially in a laboratory through the use of stem cells, which may mean that in the future, full-sized organs could be artificially grown for transplants. Tissues such as this one could also be used to test the effects of new drugs, circumventing disasters such as the TGN-1412 trial. In that test, now known in the press as the 'elephant man drug trial,' the bodies of six volunteers flared up to dangerous levels after being administered an experimental drug, leaving at least one with terminal cancer. Having artificial tissue to test on could also mean fewer animal ...

All this is under research. you can say think definitely if they are not clinically proved. No stem cell research showed any cure in any disease. Also the effect of Stem cell is very slow appear in months. so not suitable for quick relief.

The last fifty years have seen major advances in the field of medical research, many of which were translated into clinical applications. In general these applications have brought immense benefits to patients. As many of these new clinical applications are quite radical and often controversial, they inevitably challenge conventional ethical principles. Solid organ transplantation is one such advance which has generated and continues to generate issues involving ethics, law and morality. Organ transplantation has become an effective form of treatment particularly for end stage heart, liver and kidney failure. Except for kidney failure, organ transplantation is the only form of possible trea...
