Resolvins have the potential to resolve periodontal inflammation and restore tissue health
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic inflammation initiated by bacteria that affect the gums and bone supporting the teeth, and may eventually result in tissue and tooth loss. view more (2009-04-06)
Using math to understand hep. C: Patterns paint picture of who will respond to treatment
Genetic patterns are like the tea leaves in the bottom of a cup for predicting which patients are likely to respond to medical therapy for life-threatening viruses such as hepatitis C, Saint Louis University researchers have discovered. view more (2008-12-23)
Eating fatty fish once a week reduces men's risk of heart failure
Eating salmon or other fatty fish just once a week helped reduce men's risk of heart failure, adding to growing evidence that omega-3 fatty acids are of benefit to cardiac health. Led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and reported in today's on-line issue of the European Heart Journal, the findings represent one of the... view more... (2009-04-22)
New computer simulation helps explain folding in important cellular protein
Most parts of living organisms come packaged with ribbons. The ribbons are proteins-chains of amino acids that must fold into three-dimensional structures to work properly. view more (2009-07-30)
Potential Alzheimer's disease drug target identified by UC San Diego researcher
In findings with the potential to provide a therapy for Alzheimer's disease patients where none now exist, a researcher at the University of California, San Diego and colleagues have demonstrated in mice a way to reduce the overproduction of a peptide associated with the disease. view more (2008-03-17)
Organic nitrogen gives new clue to biodiversity
Scientists have found that organic nitrogen is more important for plant growth than previously thought and could contribute to maintaining diversity in grasslands. view more (2006-04-12)
Syracuse University researchers discover new way to attack some forms of leukemia
Each year, some 29,000 adults and 2,000 children are diagnosed with leukemia, a form of cancer that is caused by the abnormal production of white blood cells in the bone marrow. view more (2008-10-29)
A glass of wine can help find new mineral deposits
In a fascinating piece of spare-time research, CSIRO Exploration & Mining scientist Dr Ryan Noble has found that chemical ingredients in these drinks, including weak organic acids, have the ability to dissolve weakly-bound metals into solution. view more (2007-09-17)
Blood test identifies women at risk from Alzheimer's
Middle-aged women with high levels of a specific amino acid in their blood are twice as likely to suffer from Alzheimer's many years later, reveals a thesis from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. view more (2009-11-09)
Researchers discover a new pathway that regulates inflammation
Inflammation, the body's earliest response to damage or infection, can aid the healing process and trigger an immune response against invading pathogens. But inflammation gone awry can also undermine health, as in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or asthma. view more (2009-03-12)
UCLA physicists report advance toward nanotechy approach to protein engineering
UCLA physicists report a significant step toward a new approach to protein engineering in the June 8 online edition, and in the July print issue, of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. view more (2006-06-12)
Sulfurous ping-pong in the urinary tract
Transfer of information is a basic property of biological systems. Common examples include transfer of genetic information or nerve impulses. view more (2008-12-19)
Dietary fat intake linked to dry eye syndrome in women
More than eight million people in the United States, predominantly women, suffer from dry eye syndrome, a painful and debilitating eye disease. view more (2005-10-20)
Protein fragments sequenced in 68 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex
In a venture once thought to lie outside the reach of science, researchers from Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center have captured and sequenced tiny pieces of collagen protein from a 68 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex. view more (2007-04-13)
Healthier milk straight from the cow
British scientists have found a natural way to produce healthier milk and butter, according to new research in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. Cows fed rapeseed oil as part of their daily diet produce milk with a significantly less saturated fat. Butter made from the milk is easier to spread at fridge temperatures because it is... view more... (2004-03-11)
Study of thyroxine transporter molecule shows how key hormone hitches a lift round body
- findings may aid the development of drugs to treat thyroid disorders Structural analysis has revealed for the first time how a key messenger in the body's chemical communication system hooks up with one of the proteins that delivers it to sites of action in the body. Using X-ray crystallography, scientists from Imperial College London and the... view more... (2003-05-14)
Weizmann Institute scientists develop a general 'control switch' for protein activity
Our bodies could not maintain their existence without thousands of proteins performing myriad vital tasks within cells. Since malfunctioning proteins can cause disease, the study of protein structure and function can lead to the development of drugs and treatments for numerous disorders. view more (2007-06-20)
Researchers create pigs that produce heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
Researchers report they have created pigs that produce omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to improve heart function and help reduce the risks for heart disease, representing the first cloned transgenic livestock in the world that can make the beneficial compound. view more (2006-03-27)
Manchester scientists create new bio-gel for 3D cell culture
Scientists at The University of Manchester have created a new type of 'bio-gel' which provides a pH neutral environment for culturing cells in 3D, as published in the journal Advanced Materials (March 2006). view more (2006-03-06)
New Weapon for Fighting Antibiotic Drug Resistance
The most important antibiotics in general use today are the b-lactam family of products, but the medical community faces a serious problem with these antibiotics: the increasing development of drug resistance. The resistance is caused by hydrolysis of the b-lactam by a bacterial lactamase enzyme, but fortunately it can often be overcome by the use... view more... (2003-08-11)
