Cutting Edge Scientists develop lab-grown kidney

WASHINGTON: In good news for kidney patients, scientists have implanted a bioartificial kidney in rats, which may pave way for a synthetic organ made from a persons own cells for human transplant.

Getting rid of wireless traffic

The wireless space is getting crowded. Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth devices, ZigBee sensor nodes and other electronics and protocols are increasingly clogging the airwaves, resulting in dropped calls, wasted bandwidth and bad connections. New software being developed at the University of Michigan works like a stoplight to control the traffic and

Bio-engineered rat kidneys developed by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators successfully produced urine both in a laboratory apparatus and after being transplanted into living animals. In the study published in Nature Medicine, the researchers described building functional replacement kidneys on the structure of donor organs from which living cells had been stripped, an approach previously used to create bio-artificial hearts, lungs and livers. What is unique about this

approach is that the native organs architecture is preserved, so that the resulting graft can be transplanted just like a donor kidney and connected to the recipients vascular and urinary systems, said Harald Ott, of the MGH Center for Regenerative Medicine, senior author of the study. If this technology can be scaled to human-sized grafts, patients suffering from renal failure who are currently waiting for donor kidneys or who are not transplant candidates could theoretically receive new organs derived from their own cells, Ott said. The approach used in this study to engineer donor organs, based on a technology that Ott discovered as a research fellow at the University of Minnesota, involves stripping the living cells from a donor organ with a detergent

solution and then repopulating the collagen scaffold that remains with the appropriate cell type - in this instance human endothelial cells to replace the lining of the vascular system and kidney cells from newborn rats. The research team first decellularised rat kidneys to confirm that the organs complex structures would be preserved. They also showed the technique worked on a larger scale by stripping cells from pig and human kidneys. The researchers first tested the repopulated organs in a device that passed blood through its vascular system and drained off any urine, which revealed evidence of limited filtering of blood, molecular activity and urine production.

New genetic variations tied to heart rate found

NEW YORK, PTI: Scientists

Ice therapy can treat lung cancer

WASHINGTON, PTI: Frozen

have identified 14 new genetic variations that are associated with heart rate and may provide insight into the treatment of cardiovascular disease. The study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York and the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge, UK, through a collaborative genome-wide study on individuals discovered the new genetic variations linked to heart rate. Senior author of the study Dr Ruth Loos from Mount Sinai and her team, spent three years working on a genomewide association study using data from 181,171 participants from 65 studies during 20092012. Without any prior hypothesis, we studied the entire human genome hoping to identify new genetic variations that no one before had even imagined would play a role in the regulation of heart rate, said Loos. This discovery is just the beginning of something new and exciting and can hopefully be used to identify new drugs that can be used for the treatment of heart rhythm disorders, Loos said. In a follow-up study, experimental down-regulation of gene expression was then conducted on fruit flies and zebra fish, to better understand how genetic variations might affect heart rate. These experiments identified 20 genes with a role in heart rate regulation, signal transmission, embryonic development of the heart, as well as cardiac disorders, such as dilated cardiomyopathy, congenital heart failure and sudden heart failure. Our findings in humans as well as in fruit flies and zebrafish provide new insights into mechanisms that regulate heart rate, said Dr Marcel den Hoed, post-doctoral fellow at the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit and lead author of the study.

balls of ice can safely kill cancerous tumours that have spread to the lungs, according to the first prospective multicenter trial of cryoablation. Cryoablation is a process that uses extreme cold to destroy or damage tissue. Cryoablation has potential as a treatment for cancer that has spread to the lungs from other parts of the body and could prolong the lives of patients who are running out of options, said David A Woodrum, author of the study and interventional radiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. We may not be able to cure the cancer, but with cryoablation we can at least slow it down significantly and allow patients to enjoy greater quality of life

longer, he added. Metastatic lung disease is difficult to treat and often signals a poor prognosis for patients. In the initial results of the study trial, 22 subjects with a total of 36 tumours were treated with 27 cryoablation sessions. Cryoablation was 100 per cent effective in killing those tumours at three-month follow-up. Follow-up at six months on 5 of the 22 patients (23 per cent) showed the treated tumours to still be dead. Cryoablation is performed by an interventional radiologist using a small needle-like probe guided through a nick in the skin to cancerous tumors inside the lung under medical imaging guidance. These tumours have spread - or metastasised - to the lung from primary cancers in other areas of the body. Once in position, the tip of the instrument is cooled with gas to as low as minus 100 degrees Celsius. The resulting halo of ice crystals can destroy cancer by interrupting its cellular function, protecting nearby healthy, delicate lung tissue. Lung cryoablation has been promising in part due to the low periprocedural morbidity.

Antarctic summer ice melting ten times faster

LONDON, PTI: Antarctic summer ice melt is now occurring 10 times faster than it did 600 years ago, with ice loss speeding up the most since mid 20th Century, new research has warned.

The 1000-year Antarctic Peninsula climate reconstruction published in the journal Nature Geoscience, shows that summer ice melting has intensified almost 10-fold, and mostly since the mid 20th Century. Summer ice melt affects the stability of Antarctic ice shelves and glaciers. In 2008, a UK-French science team drilled a 364-metre long ice core from James Ross Island, near the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, to measure past temperatures in the area. They discovered that this ice core could also give a unique and unexpected insight into ice melt in the region. Visible layers in the ice core indicated periods when summer snow on the ice cap thawed and then refroze. By measuring the thickness of these melt layers the scientists were able to examine how the history of melting com-

pared with changes in temperature at the ice core site over the last 1,000 years. We found that the coolest conditions on the Antarctic Peninsula and the lowest amount of summer melt occurred around 600 years ago, said lead author Dr Nerilie Abram of The Australian National University and British Antarctic Survey (BAS). At that time temperatures were around 1.6 degrees Celsius lower than those recorded in the late 20th Century and the amount of annual snowfall that melted and refroze was about

been removed began producing urine as soon as the blood supply was restored, with no evidence of bleeding or clot formation. The overall function of the regenerated organs was significantly reduced compared with that of normal, healthy kidneys, something the researchers believe may be attributed to the immaturity of the neonatal cells used to repopulate the scaffolding. Based on this initial proof of principle, we hope that bioengineered kidneys will someday be able to fully replace kidney function just as donor kidneys do. In an ideal world, such grafts could be produced on demand from a patients own cells, helping us overcome both the organ shortage and the need for chronic immunosuppression, Ott said.

Discussing salary still an office taboo: Study

NEW YORK: When it comes to

discussing salaries, most employees still follow the dont ask, dont tell policy, according to a new global study. Discussing salary is still an office taboo and a majority of workers globally admit they are not only uncomfortable discussing their salary, but also talking about vacation, sick time and bonuses with their co-workers, the study found. The research was based on the responses of 3,000 people on an employment website. Overall, 35 per cent of workers said that they are

never comfortable talking about salary with co-workers. An additional 20 per cent of workers said they are seldom comfortable talking with fellow employees about their pay. Only 18 per cent of workers said they are very comfortable talking about salary, while 14 per cent said they are often comfortable when discussing salary, BusinessNewsDaily reported. Workers in North America were most uncomfortable when discussing what they earn. Overall, 63 per cent of workers in the US and 61 per
