LIP CANCER [2 records]

Record 1 2006-09-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Non-Surgical Treatment
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
DEF

A rare virus that normally causes only minor flu-like infections in people, but has the ability to kill human cancer cells leaving non-cancerous cells intact. It sometimes infects cattle, causing temporary blisters on the lip such as cold sores, but does no lasting damage.

CONT

In the laboratory, the VSV has destroyed a wide variety of cancer cells: melanoma, lung, colon, breast and protate cancers and leukemia.

CONT

We have been studying effects on vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), an RNA virus, and on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a retrovirus. With VSV we have shown that transcription of the infecting RNA molecule, the primary transcription step, is inhibited, thus amplification of viral RNA is prevented.

CONT

L'enveloppe du virus de la stomatite vésiculaire (VSV), également utilisée, permet quant à elle le transfert de gènes vers des cellules d'une origine autre que mammifère, comme les cellules de poisson ou d'insecte.

DEF

Virus de la familia Rhabdoviridae, del género vesiculovirus, del que se reconocen dos serotipos [...] New Jersey (NJ) e Indiana (I), de acuerdo con el lugar de origen de los primeros aislamientos caracterizados inmunológicamente.

CONT

El virus infecta en forma natural a mamiferos domésticos y silvestres. [...] principalmente a cerdos, caballos y bovinos, produciendo vesículas y erosiones en la boca, rodete coronario y pezones, especialmente en vacas en producción.

OBS

La presencia del virus de la estomatitis vesicular (VEV), parece limitada al hemisferio occidental, especialmente a países que bordean el mar Caribe como México, Costa Rica, Colombia y Venezuela.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Histology
  • Biotechnology
CONT

The National Institute of Dental Research(NIDR) invites investigator-initiated grant applications to conduct multidisciplinary basic and clinical research on wound healing and tissue regeneration associated with the orofacial region. Applications that address the healing, regeneration and repair of oral tissues following periodontal diseases, trauma, and surgical treatment of birth defects such as cleft lip and palate and cancer are sought through this Program Announcement(PA).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Histologie
  • Biotechnologie
CONT

Les différentes approches utilisées donnent une meilleure vision d'ensemble de ce qu'est la régénération tissulaire et de la place précise qu'occupe le génie tissulaire dont le but principal est la reconstruction tant des tissus que des organes humains.

OBS

On doit plutôt utiliser le terme «régénération».
