Researchers Holding Steady in an Atomic-Scale Tug-of-War
March 31st, 2010(PhysOrg.com) — How hard do you have to pull on a single atom of — let’s say — gold to detach it from the end of a chain of like atoms?* It’s a measure of the astonishing progress in nanotechnology that questions that once would have interested only physicists or chemists are now being asked by engineers. To help with the answers, a research team at the National Institute of Standards and …

Combining keratinocyte growth factor transfection into the airways and tracheal occlusion in a fetal sheep model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia
March 31st, 2010In utero tracheal occlusion (TO) has been developed to improve the lung hypoplasia associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). However, although TO stimulates fetal lung growth, it results in a decrease of alveolar type II cells (ATII) and surfactant production. Because keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a potent stimulus of ATII proliferation and maturation, we evaluated, in a fetal lamb model of CDH, a gene therapy strategy combining TO and ovine KGF transfection into the fetal airways using bisguanidinium-tren-cholesterol/dioleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (BGTC/DOPE) cationic liposomes.Three groups of sheep fetuses with CDH and a group of normal fetuses were studied. The fetuses of the three groups with CDH (KGF, Medium and Hernia groups) underwent surgery at 85 days of gest…
Case Closed: A Fluky Finding Raises Hopes for Mending Wounds
March 31st, 2010Ellen Heber-Katz, a scientist at The Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, used to study autoimmunity–that was until she noticed something strange in the mice she was using to model lupus: The small holes that she had poked in their ears to distinguish the animals from one another kept closing. At first she thought her postdoc, Lise Clark, had forgotten to make the holes in the first place. But Clark clearly remembered doing it. Together, Heber-Katz and Clark pierced new holes. Within days, they closed, too. “Every day they got smaller and smaller and then just disappeared,” Heber-Katz says. And, there was no scar–the tissue was perfect. They wondered: “If we could find out what it was that was creating this response, we could treat wounds that way!”
