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)
Receptor could halt blinding diseases, stop tumor growth, preserve neurons after trauma
An international team of researchers has discovered what promises to be the on-off switch behind several major diseases. view more (2008-10-07)
Unexpected finding opens up new way to stop autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection
After several years of battling recurring infections, the last thing a patient and her doctors ever expected was that the cause of her problems might actually help millions live longer, more active lives. view more (2009-01-23)
Our brains make their own marijuana: We're all pot heads deep inside
U.S. and Brazilian scientists have just proven that one of Bob Dylan's most famous lines--"everybody must get stoned"-- is correct. view more (2009-04-21)
Stomach receptor for H. pylori discovered
Scientists have determined that decay-accelerating factor (DAF), a protein found in epithelial cells in the stomach, acts as a receptor for the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. view more (2006-05-05)
Bacteria, beware: New finding about E coli could block infections, lead to better treatments
A newly discovered receptor in a strain of Escherichia coli can be blocked to avert infection, a finding that might aid in developing better therapies to treat bacterial infections resulting in food poisoning, diarrhea or plague. view more (2006-06-27)
Designing probiotics that ambush gut pathogens
Researchers in Australia are developing diversionary tactics to fool disease-causing bacteria in the gut. view more (2009-09-08)
Cellular target may prove useful in treating deadly brain tumors
Duke University researchers have identified a receptor on the surface of cells that may give them another avenue of attack against glioblastoma, the most common and most deadly type of brain cancer. view more (2009-04-06)
Looking beyond the drug receptor for clues to drug effectiveness
Antipsychotic drugs that are widely used to treat schizophrenia and other problems may not work as scientists have assumed, according to findings from Duke University Medical Center researchers that could lead to changes in how these drugs are developed and prescribed. view more (2008-08-26)
Accessory protein determines whether pheromones are detected
Pheromones are like the molecules you taste as you chomp on a greasy french fry: big and fatty. view more (2007-10-18)
No evidence that widely prescribed statins protect against prostate cancer
A large community-based study refutes previous findings that statins - a top-selling drug class, worldwide -- might cut one's risk of developing prostate cancer by reducing production of the male hormones that fuel cancer growth. view more (2007-08-10)
Scientists find hormone activity explains adolescent mood swings
The "raging hormones" of puberty are known to produce mood swings and stress for most teenagers, making it difficult to cope with this period of life. Until now, the specific causes of pubertal anxiety have not been identified, making it harder to understand and treat adolescent angst. view more (2007-03-12)
The role of fat as a signal substance
Fat is not only a much-discussed food substance. Fat can also function as a signal substance in the body and activate a special receptor in the cells of important organs like the heart and liver. This opens opportunities for new ways of explaining the genesis of diabetes, a disease that is strongly associated with obesity. This new role for fat... view more... (2003-02-10)
Blocking the nerve receptor EP1 in mouse models reduces brain damage caused by stroke
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered how to block a molecular switch that triggers brain damage caused by the lack of oxygen during a stroke. view more (2005-12-21)
Inheritance of hormonal disorder marked by excessive insulin in daughters
Elevated levels of insulin could be an early sign that girls whose mothers suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome -- or PCOS -- may also be susceptible to the disease, according to gynecologists who have found evidence of insulin resistance in young children. view more (2008-07-29)
Leptin's long-distance call to the pancreas
Rube Goldberg-the cartoonist who devised complex machines for simple tasks-would have smiled at one of leptin's mechanisms for curbing insulin release. view more (2008-12-22)
Animal model for schizophrenia identifies a novel approach for treating cognitive impairments
Researchers have been seeking a safe and effective way to treat cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia by enhancing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors. view more (2009-06-10)
Psst! Coffee drinkers: Fruit flies have something to tell you about caffeine
In their hunt for genes and proteins that explain how animals discern bitter from sweet, a team of Johns Hopkins researchers began by testing whether mutant fruit flies prefer eating sugar over sugar laced with caffeine. view more (2006-09-19)
Gene therapy reduces cocaine use in rats
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have shown that increasing the brain level of receptors for dopamine, a pleasure-related chemical, can reduce use of cocaine by 75 percent in rats trained to self-administer it. view more (2008-04-16)
Caltech researchers find tiny genetic change keeps nicotine from binding to muscle cells
A tiny genetic mutation is the key to understanding why nicotine--which binds to brain receptors with such addictive potency--is virtually powerless in muscle cells that are studded with the same type of receptor. view more (2009-03-24)
