New clues to amyloidoses ?
Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP), a hereditary disease characterised by abnormal deposits of insoluble protein in the organs, results from a mutation in a single gene (the transthyretin or TTR gene). Nevertheless, disease incidence and age of onset can vary significantly between patients what have always puzzled scientists. Now, in the latest... view more... (2005-02-18)
Golden rice an effective source of vitamin A
The beta-carotene in so-called "Golden Rice" converts to vitamin A in humans, according to researchers at Baylor College of Medicine (www.bcm.edu) and Tufts University in an article that appears in the current issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. view more (2009-05-14)
New method to stimulate immune system may be effective at reducing amyloid burden in Alzheimer's
Researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center have discovered a novel way to stimulate the innate immune system of mice with Alzheimer's disease (AD) - leading to reduced amyloid deposits and the prevention of Alzheimer's disease related pathology - without causing toxic side effects. view more (2009-02-12)
Molecular drug pump may help reduce risk of Alzheimer's
A molecule that has long been an obstacle to cancer chemotherapy and drug treatments for brain disorders may soon become an ally in the fight against Alzheimer's disease, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of Rochester. view more (2005-10-21)
Role of anesthetics in Alzheimer's disease: Molecular details revealed
Inhaled anesthetics commonly used in surgery are more likely to cause the aggregation of Alzheimer's disease-related plaques in the brain than intravenous anesthetics. view more (2007-01-29)
Beating the aging process naturally
The fight against aging has received a scientific boost thanks to an innovative study done in part by a University of Alberta spin-off company-research that dispels a hard-held belief about the natural ingredient, beta glucan. view more (2005-09-30)
Some antipsychotic drugs may be missing their mark
Drugs that treat depression, schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions and that target a particular protein on brain cells might not be triggering the most appropriate response in those cells, new research suggests. view more (2008-01-02)
Circulating fats kill transplanted pancreas cells, study shows
Dietary restrictions or other strategies that limit fat formation might make pancreatic cell transplants more effective, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report. view more (2007-08-28)
New study provides further evidence that apple juice can delay onset of Alzheimer's disease
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that we can take steps to delay age-related cognitive decline, including in some cases that which accompanies Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published in the January 2009 issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. view more (2009-01-23)

Beta-blockers and stroke -- new insights into their use for older people
A University of Leicester-led study may have uncovered the reason why Beta-blockers are less effective at preventing stroke in older people with high blood pressure, when compared to other drugs for high blood pressure. view more (2009-08-28)
New discovery may help doctors treat infertility
New research suggests that medications commonly referred to as fertility drugs may be ineffective for women who lack a gene called the estrogen receptor beta. view more (2005-07-21)
Genetic mutation alters response to heart failure drugs
The group of drugs known as beta blockers help slow nerve impulses traveling through the heart in order to reduce the heart's workload. view more (2007-01-03)
Researchers Reveal Possibility of Separating Anticancer Properties of Vitamin D
At the right dose, vitamin D is important for bone development and may help protect against the development of several cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. view more (2006-03-20)
Breakdown of Myelin Implicated in Alzheimer's, UCLA Research Shows
Wisdom comes with age (doesn't it?), but not without a process that takes place in the brain called myelination. Myelin is the fatty sheath that coats the axons of the nerves, allowing for efficient conduction of nerve impulses. view more (2007-05-14)
Discovery of new signal pathway important to diabetes research
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Miami University have discovered that cells in the pancreas cooperate - signal - in a way hitherto unknown. The discovery can eventually be of significance to the treatment of diabetes. view more (2008-06-05)
FORMOTEROL BETTER THAN TERBUTALINE FOR CONTROL OF SEVERE ASTHMA (p 257)
The drug formoterol could be more effective than terbutaline in controlling moderate to severe asthma in patients when used as a rescue therapy in addition to inhaled corticosteroids, conclude the authors of a study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Asthma guidelines recommend that longacting inhaled beta-agonists should be used as... view more... (2001-01-24)
MRI May Help Physicians Diagnose, Stage and Treat Diabetes
Noninvasive imaging (MRI) may aid physicians in the early diagnosis, staging and treatment of diabetes, according to a study performed at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. view more (2009-08-06)
Birth defect gene identified
Birth defects of the face and skull are relatively common in humans, striking one in 500 to 1,000 babies. Defects can include cleft lip or palate, congenitally missing teeth and severe malformations of the skull. view more (2005-12-23)
UCSD Research May Lead to Targeted Treatment for Asthma Sufferers
The bronchial tubes of a patient with severe asthma can become scarred due to repeated episodes of allergic inflammation in the airways. The scarring results in blocked airways, excessive production of mucus, and shortness of breath. view more (2005-11-29)
