Cardiovascular highlights from non-cardiology journals.

Research highlights: Highlights from the last year in nanomedicine.

Synthetic biology attempts to reproduce emergent behaviors from natural biology with the goal of creating artificial life. The main challenge in this field is the reduction of complex phenomena into functional components, which can be individually engineered and later combined to replicate the macroscopic behavior of the model biological system. Nawroth and coworkers reverse-engineered the mech...

Molecular biology and genetics in cardiovascular research: highlights of 2002.

In the future treatment of haemophilia B, a real breakthrough may be a strategy that uses site-specific genomic integration of a gene therapy vector to produce therapeutic levels of human clotting factor IX (FIX). A clinically relevant expression of plasma levels of FIX was noted for over 12 months. The strategy will be applicable for a broad range of therapeutic genes and tissues. Following th...

Highlights From the Latest in Diabetes Research

It is widely accepted that exercise is benefi cial to health, yet national survey data indicate that 36.2% of American adults do not engage in any leisure-time physical activity. Further, numerous cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have quantifi ed relationships between physical activity and various outcomes including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mortality, with most showing an i...
