Gene increases effectiveness of drugs used to fight cancer

Gene increases effectiveness of drugs used to fight cancer Researchers at the University of Granada have found a suicide gene, called \’gene E\’, which leads to the death of tumour cells derived from breast, lung and colon cancer, and prevents their growth. The importance of this new gene is that its use to fight cancer… Seguir Leyendo Gene increases effectiveness of drugs used to fight cancer

Melatonin regulates sleep better than somniferous

Melatonin regulates sleep better than somniferous Scientists of the University of Granada state that the exogenous administration of melatonin corrects the sleep/wakefulness pace when human biological clock gets altered. At present, this substance is being widely used by the pharmaceutical industry to design synthetic medicines, a very interesting therapeutic tool for the treatment of sleep… Seguir Leyendo Melatonin regulates sleep better than somniferous

Researchers from the ‘Ingenieria Tisular’ of the University of Granada have made the first artificial cornea model using stem cells of rabbit’s sclerocorneal limbus.

Researchers from the ‘Ingenieria Tisular’ of the University of Granada have made the first artificial cornea model using stem cells of rabbit’s sclerocorneal limbus. This result is a great advance due to the shortage of donors of this transparent epithelium located in the anterior segment of the eyeball that refracts the incoming light onto the… Seguir Leyendo Researchers from the ‘Ingenieria Tisular’ of the University of Granada have made the first artificial cornea model using stem cells of rabbit’s sclerocorneal limbus.
