Alzheimer's: New findings resolve long dispute about how the disease might kill brain cells
For a decade, Alzheimer's disease researchers have been entrenched in debate about one of the mechanisms believed to be responsible for brain cell death and memory loss in the illness. view more (2009-04-16)
Moral philosopher questions memory manipulation
Is medicated memory manipulation ethically sound? And perhaps more importantly, who should be charged with the decision to deliver such a treatment: patient or physician? Elisa Hurley, a philosophy professor, is seeking answers to these questions in her research currently underway at The University of Western Ontario. view more (2008-04-30)
Vaccine triggers immune response, prevents Alzheimer's
A vaccine created by University of Rochester Medical Center scientists prevents the development of Alzheimer's disease-like pathology in mice without causing inflammation or significant side effects. view more (2008-05-20)
OHSU research reveals possible future target for delaying or stopping Alzheimer's
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University's Neurological Sciences Institute (NSI) have located a possible target for future therapies aimed at delaying or stopping Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-05-02)
Researchers find gene that spurs development of the epididymis
Human sperm cells travel up to 6 meters in their transit from testes to penis, and most of that journey occurs in the epididymis, a tightly coiled tube that primes the cells for their ultimate task: fertilization. view more (2007-06-28)
Rethinking Alzheimer's disease and its treatment targets
The standard explanation for what causes Alzheimer's is known as the amyloid hypothesis, which posits that the disease results from of an accumulation of the peptide amyloid beta, the toxic protein fragments that deposit in the brain and become the sticky plaques that have defined Alzheimer's for more than 100 years. view more (2009-09-23)
UCLA researchers identify leukemia stem cells
Stem cell researchers at UCLA have identified a type of leukemia stem cell and uncovered the molecular and genetic mechanisms that cause a normal blood stem cells to become cancerous. view more (2008-05-27)
New asthma research opposes current drug treatment, says UH prof
Just when the Food and Drug Administration is reconsidering the use of stimulants to treat asthma, a new research study offers further evidence to support a University of Houston professor's theory that an opposite approach to asthma treatment may be in order. view more (2009-01-27)
Substance in tree bark could lead to new lung-cancer treatment
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined how a substance derived from the bark of the South American lapacho tree kills certain kinds of cancer cells, findings that also suggest a novel treatment for the most common type of lung cancer. view more (2007-06-26)
New findings about brain proteins suggest possible way to fight Alzheimer's
The action of a small protein that is a major villain in Alzheimer's disease can be counterbalanced with another brain protein, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in an animal study. view more (2009-10-07)
U.Va. Scientists Identify 'Missing Link' in Process Leading to Alzheimer's Disease
Scientists at the University of Virginia have identified what appears to be a major missing link in the process that destroys nerve cells in Alzheimer's disease, an incurable disease that slowly destroys memory and cognitive abilities. view more (2007-02-08)
LSUHSC research may benefit diabetes by increasing understanding of how to control islet cell growth
Michael Lan, PhD, Professor of Pediatrics and Genetics at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, is the senior author of a paper revealing the molecular mechanism of how a protein determines the fate of the cells that make and release insulin. view more (2009-02-18)
Ben-Gurion University Alzheimer's researcher demonstrates specific immune response to vaccine
A researcher who is working on a vaccine for Alzheimer's disease (AD) has demonstrated that it is possible to test and measure specific immune responses in mice carrying human genes and to anticipate the immune response in Alzheimer's patients. view more (2009-09-21)
New Transparent Insulating Film Could Enable Energy-Efficient Displays
Johns Hopkins materials scientists have found a new use for a chemical compound that has traditionally been viewed as an electrical conductor, a substance that allows electricity to flow through it. view more (2009-11-10)
Heart failure patients at greatest risk of death least likely to receive appropriate medications
Even though certain medications such as ACE inhibitors reduce the risk of death for patients with heart failure, patients at greatest risk often are not prescribed these medications. view more (2005-09-14)
The immune system and Alzheimer's disease
Utrecht researchers, funded by NWO, have determined the role played by brain cells from the immune system that are located close to dying memory cells. The research will help determine the causes of Alzheimer's disease. In patients with Alzheimer's disease, the brain cells die off. The death of these neurones takes place primarily in the vicinity... view more... (2001-11-27)
Suspected cause of type 1 diabetes caught
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis working with diabetic mice have examined in unprecedented detail the immune cells long thought to be responsible for type 1 diabetes. view more (2008-05-12)
Scientists demonstrate means of reducing Alzheimer's-like plaques in fly brain
Neuroscientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) are part of a collaboration that has succeeded in demonstrating that overexpression of an enzyme in the brain can reduce telltale deposits causally linked with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-07-16)
Gas-blockers might slow down Alzheimer's disease
A noxious gas speeds up brain degeneration in Alzheimer's disease, according to a study in the November 7 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2005-10-31)
Zeroing in on Alzheimer's
Hereditary Alzheimer's disease has been shown to be the result of mutations in certain specific genes. Other cases of Alzheimer's are also assumed to be traceable to the influence of a number of still unidentified genes. It is probable that these genes are located in a large area on chromosome 10q, which contains more than 100 genes. Working with... view more... (2003-09-25)
