Study validates Pittsburgh Compound-B in identifying Alzheimer's disease brain toxins
A groundbreaking study conducted by University of Pittsburgh Alzheimer's disease researchers reported in the journal Brain (currently online) confirms that Pittsburgh Compound-B (PiB) binds to the telltale beta-amyloid deposits found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-03-27)
Effectiveness of mouse breeds that mimic Alzheimer's disease symptoms questioned
Scientists have shown that recently developed mouse breeds that mimic the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) may not be as effective as previously assumed. view more (2007-08-17)
Antioxidant supplementation not associated with decreased risk of prostate cancer
Intakes of dietary or supplemental antioxidants were not associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer among men in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial. view more (2006-02-15)
The stem cells that weren't there
Diabetes researchers, investigating how the body supplies itself with insulin, discovered to their surprise that adult stem cells, which they expected to play a crucial role in the process, were nowhere to be found. view more (2007-05-08)
Rapid changes in key Alzheimer's protein described in humans
For the first time, researchers have described hour-by-hour changes in the amount of amyloid beta, a protein that is believed to play a key role in Alzheimer's disease, in the human brain. view more (2008-08-29)
U of M researchers find new, more effective treatment for toxic shock syndrome
Researchers at the University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new therapeutic that neutralizes Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) more effectively than other treatments. view more (2007-05-22)
Study demonstrates how gene variant may contribute to cancer development
A relatively common cancer susceptibility gene appears to be frequently acquired in metastatic lesions from colorectal cancer, and give cancer cells a growth advantage, according to a study in the October 5 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-10-05)
UCLA scientists identify how immune cells may help predict Alzheimer's risk
What if you could test your risk for Alzheimer's disease much like your cholesterol levels - through a simple blood test? view more (2009-07-14)
Teamwork between 2 key proteins necessary for normal development and regulation of red blood cells
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers studying hemoglobin genes, mutations of which play a role in genetic blood disorders like sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, have identified two proteins that are responsible for regulating overlapping groups of genes during the development of red blood cells. view more (2007-08-07)
A mutation that causes resistence to chemotherapy treatment of lung cancer has been discovered
Lung cancer, mainly caused by tobacco and inhaling radon gas, is the most lethal cancer in the western world. In Spain alone this disease causes around 15,000 deaths each year. view more (1999-09-27)
For the first time, UAB researchers have cured mice with diabetes type 1
A team of researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has cured mice with diabetes type 1 for the first time. In the experiment, the diabetic mice completely recovered from the disease after having suffered excesses of glucose in their blood. Although the mice used were transgenic, the researchers are sure that there will... view more... (2002-05-10)
More insight into Alzheimer's disease with Stanford discovery of possible cause
A peacekeeper in the body's defenses against infection may hold the key to understanding-and eventually treating-Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine discovered that when a molecule responsible for dialing down the immune system malfunctions in the brain cells of mice, the rodents develop symptoms of the... view more...

Researchers engineer pancreatic cell transplants to evade immune response
In a finding that could significantly influence the way type 1 diabetes is treated, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have developed a technique for transplanting insulin-producing pancreatic cells that causes only a minimal immune response in recipients. view more (2009-01-05)
U-M researchers ID gene involved in pancreatic cancer
Researchers from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a gene that is overexpressed in 90 percent of pancreatic cancers, the most deadly type of cancer. view more (2009-03-03)
Blocking immune cell action increases Alzheimer's-associated protein deposits
The immune system's response against amyloid-beta, the protein that forms plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease, appears to protect the brain from damage in early stages of the devastating neurological disorder. view more (2007-03-28)
Alzheimer's-associated enzyme can disrupt neural activity in the brain
An enzyme involved in the formation of the amyloid-beta protein associated with Alzheimer's disease can also alter the mechanism by which signals are transmitted between brain cells, the disruption of which can cause seizures. view more (2007-06-18)
Procedure cures some diabetic mice, but not in the way previously reported
Researchers attempting to reproduce a controversial 2003 mouse experiment suggestive of a cure for type 1 diabetes have found evidence that the experimental procedure does eliminate diabetic symptoms in a small fraction of the mice exposed to it. view more (2006-03-24)
New Role Discovered for Molecule Important in Development of Pancreas, Penn Study Finds
For years researchers have been searching for a way to treat diabetics by reactivating their insulin-producing beta cells, to no avail. Now, they may be one step closer. A protein, whose role in pancreatic development has long been recognized, has been discovered to play an additional and previously unknown regulatory role in the development of... view more...

NIST membrane model may unlock secrets of early-stage Alzheimer's
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and three collaborating institutions are using a new laboratory model of the membrane surrounding neurons in the brain to study how a protein long suspected of a role in early-stage Alzheimer's disease actually impairs a neuron's structure and function. view more (2008-07-24)
New approach for growing bone comes from Duke preclinical research
The natural cycle of building bone to maintain skeletal strength and then breaking it down for the body's calcium needs is delicately balanced, but diseases like osteoporosis break down too much bone without adequate bone replacement, leading to bone fractures. view more (2009-10-08)
