In the March 16 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, the scientists report the blood protein angiostatin, which is known to stop the growth of new blood vessels to tumors, works by depleting the chemical energy that blood vessel cells need to grow.

SOMs have been used widely in data mining, particularly for large or messy datasets like stock market data, but this study is the first to apply them to gene analysis.

...and of course

. "Our vector continued to produce this protein up to seven weeks after it was introduced into these animals, suggesting that this therapy may provide long-term pain relief if used clinically,"

"The gene-vector-based therapy, in contrast to current pain control methods, is highly localized, and the release of the potentially pain-relieving substance is self-limiting because it is triggered only when the nerves encounter hyper-stimulation," added Dr. Wilson.

"Our engineered herpes virus used for this research is exceptionally well-suited to deliver genes for pain relief," according to Dr. Glorioso.
