Cancer Gene Therapy I Gene therapy is much in the news today. This article describes the principles behind the technology, and the criteria that must be satisfied in order for gene therapy to be successfully applied to the treatment of cancer. One of the major challenges facing the researcher is to find an effective delivery vehicle; therefore, I have presented the most common methods. gene therapy • oncogene • dna • tumor-suppressor • cell division cycle
Neuropathic Pain: New Insights, New Interventions - Part III The conclusion of a three part series on Neuropathic Pain. This segment discusses the effect of neuropathic pain upon the circuits of the nervous system - and how they become altered. This alteration makes current pain management treatments ineffective. Thus it is necessary to research each type of pain individually and to find an effective treatment - based upon the rewired circuitry of the nervous system. neuropathic pain • circuits • nervous system • management • treatment

Polymerization of DNA & RNA Building Blocks Prior to cell division, a new copy of DNA must be built. And in order for our cells to make proteins, RNA must be created from the DNA template. How is this accomplished? nucleic acid synthesis • nucleic acid polymerization • deoxyribonucleic acid • nucleic acid transcription • rna translation

Diarrhea -- What is it, How it is Treated? Diarrhea is typically, and usually, a annoying condition that almost always responds to home treatment. However, there are times, particulary with young children, when hospitalization is required.
