What Is Marfan Syndrome?
May 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Marfan syndrome is an inherited connective-tissue disorder transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait which has features like tall stature, ectopia lentis, mitral valve prolapse, aortic root dilatation, and aortic dissection.
Pathophysiology
Marfan syndrome results from mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene on chromosome 15, which encodes for the glycoprotein fibrillin.
Fibrillin is used as a major building block of microfibrils, which constitute the structural components of the suspensory ligament of the lens and serve as substrates for elastin in the aorta and other connective tissues.
Production of abnormal fibrillin-1 monomers from the mutated gene disrupts the multimerization of fibrillin-1 and prevents microfibril formation.
Occurrence
Marfan syndrome affects about 1 in 10,000 individuals. It affects all races and no sex predilection is known. [Continue reading]

Nanoparticles Deliver Higher Dose of Antibiotics to Sites of Infection
May 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment
A study reported in ACS Nano journal has reported development of nanoparticles capable of delivering higher antibiotic doses to sitexs of infection.
The study has been published on web on April 3, 2012 and is reported by Aleksandar F. Radovic-Moreno and colleagues
It si a well known fact that bacteriae have remarkable capacities to develop resistance to antibiotics. Some drugs may be effective at higher doses but the side effects of the drugs prohibit from administering higher doses to the patients.
To overcome this limitation researchers at Massachusetts institute of technologyand Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed a nanoparticle that can deliver large doses of antibiotics right to the site of bacterial infection. [Continue reading]
