publications that came to our attention during the last months. To
read the topics or their abstracts, just click the underlined link.
| Gene
and Stem Cell Therapies - JAMA |
| Gene and stem cell therapies hold promise for the
treatment of a wide variety of inherited and
acquired human diseases. Identification of genes
involved in human disease and development of novel
vectors and devices for delivering therapeutic genes
to different tissues in vivo have resulted in
significant progress in the area of gene therapy... |
|
| Implications
of the Human Genome Project for Medical Science
- JAMA |
| The year 2000 marked both the start of the new
millennium and the announcement that the vast
majority of the human genome had been sequenced.
Much work remains to understand how this
"instruction book for human biology"
carries out its multitudes of functions. But the
consequences for the practice of medicine are
likely to be profound... |

| Orbital
involvement in cherubism - Clinical and
Experimental Ophthalmology |
| Cherubism is a rare, inherited condition characterized by
fibro-osseous lesions of the maxilla and mandible. It has
recently been localized to chromosome 4p16.3. The fullness of
the lower half of the face and retraction of the lower lids
gives the characteristic ‘eyes raised to heaven’ cherubic
appearance... |
|
| IGFBPs
are involved in xenograft development in nude mice
- Medical & Pediatric Oncology |
| The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are involved in the
growth and differentiation of neuroblastoma cells. In all
biological fluids, they are non-covalently bound to
high-affinity binding proteins (IGFBP-1 to -6) which modulate
their bioavailability... |
