LONDON – Delivering synthetic messenger RNA that encodes the right growth factor directly to the heart muscle shortly after a heart attack can induce heart stem cells to divide and mature into new blood vessels, a new study has shown. Mice treated in that way showed a long-term increase in survival.
LONDON – A new understanding of the molecular control of angiogenesis – the process by which new blood vessels grow – could lead to new therapies aimed at blocking tumor growth.

LONDON – New oral drugs for diverse conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis, depression and anxiety have edged closer to development as a result of new information about the structure of an important class of hormone receptor.

LONDON – A full range of about 5,000 mutant mice, each with a single known gene inactivated, will be openly available to researchers within the next few years for further study of abnormal features that will shed light on numerous human diseases.

LONDON – A faulty gene that plays a role in heart development is responsible for many cases of heart failure, an international team of researchers has shown.
LONDON – A mouse model for a subtype of colon cancer – genetically identical to the equivalent human cancer – is making it possible to screen drugs to find more effective treatments for that type of tumor.
LONDON – The prospect of being able to control the activity of drugs in body tissues by illuminating them has moved a step closer, with the discovery of a way of using light to activate peptides inside a cell.
