How many human researches guinea pig uses in 2018

YOU KNOW ?

Guinea pig biological  similar to human beings, which make them use in many field of human researches.
Guinea pig tissue and organs are extensively use in research  to develope  new medicine. 
LIKE - Beta blocker  to treat  high blood pressure and intestinal ulcers
Anti- nausea drug  consist (naturally occurring pain killer substance) enkephalins.

USES-
IN ALLERGIES AND RESPIRATORY DISEASES-
 guinea pig airways are sensitive to allergence so it has been  widely use in asthma studies .
 The inhaled medications that the mainstays  of asthma treatment ( orally active- drug) montilukast, also use to treat a vaccine  against anthrax,recent new medicine  to treat drug  resistant tuberculosis. 
IN INFECTIOUSDISEASES-
Sensitivity  of guinea  pigs regarding  some infectious  diseases  are similar to immune difference  system  of humans , 
LIKE-  mycobecteriam tuberculous  and lectospira  icteroids .

IN HEARING-
The structure of guinea pigs ears similar to that of human, means  hearing  range are also similar, 
Hair cells are the sensory  cell of the auditory  system, these cells don't re- grow when damage, so first successful  attampt  to regenerate  hair cell in the inner ear of a mammals , announced  in 2003 ,achieved in guinea  pigs.

IN NUTRITIONAL RESEARCH-
Guinea pigs requiring vit C, folic acid, thiamine,  argenine, & potassium in their  diet. They also carried most of their  plasma cholesterol  in low density  protein, which make them useful in nutrition  studies.

IN SAFETY TESTING-
The long gestration  period 59- 72 days, and mature nervous system  at birth means that guinea pigs are important in safety testing, particularly  to prevent  birth defence. However, similar to their immune system, their skin is more sensitive, so guinea pig are widespread use for allergic skin reactions.

Animal organs for human transplantation: how close are we ?

You know  about xenotransplantation Solid organ transplantation ,by most measure a phenomenal success. One potential  solution to organ availability  crises is the use of animal as organ donar for humans ( xenotransplantation). Organ transplantation has been one of the success  stories of the latter part of 20th century, this field now solidly entrenched in modern medical therapy. Since last decades, thousands of the patients received new kidneys, livers, heart and other organs( lung, pancreas, and intestine ) routinely transplanted, clinical results of these interventions have meant the restoration of meaningful, protective and active lives to recipients of all organs. Vexingly, the transplant community has not been able to meet the demand for donar organ, to reduced the overcome finding  a alternative, more plenityful  supply of replacement organs for human transplantation. THE IDEAL DONOR ANIMAL    A long list emerging when we co...

Orthopaedic stem cell therapy overview 2018

Stem cell therapy use to treat orthopaedic  conditions. Stem cell are cells that have capability  to self renew by dividing  and to develope in to more mature and specialised cells. It's can be  unipotent  , multinational , pluripotent or totipotent  depending on the noumber  of cell type to which they can give rise. Several types  of stem cells that can be use for different purposes. Embryonic  stem cells Non embryonic stem cells Induced pluripotent  stem cells Cord blood stem cells Amniotic  fluid  stem cells Repair of damaged tissue by using healing  power of mesenchymal  stem cells (MSCs) found  in other body parts or from donar  amblical  card  tissue . Theses MSCs have ability to regenerate worn or damaged cartilage , repair damaged muscles & ligaments, control inflammation and rejuvenate aging cell population . Now a days  these therapy  use to trea...

What is snake venom and how its use as medicine

SNAKE VENOM USE AS A MEDICINE , Snake venom is highly  modified  parotid salivary gland secretion that secrets zootoxines. Venoms contain more than 20 different  compounds, mostly proteins, polypeptide, enzymes, and various other substances with toxins and other lethal  proterties serve  to immobilize and digestion of prey animal and defence against threats. SIX  MAZER MEDICAL  USES  FOR THE SNAKE  VENOM: 1) TREATING CANCER -   venom  from  rattlesnake contain a chemical  called crotoxin, it only work on particular kinds of cell (blood and muscles). Research Harnessed  the unique  combination  of targeting  and toxicity  in crotoxin to creat  a cancer treatment, called CB24. 2) REDUCE  BLOOD PRESSURE-  The venom  of the Brazilian  pitviper contain a protein that disrupt  the angiotensin - converting  enzyme (ACE), which rises blood pressu...
