What is the role of the omentum in regenerating the liver?
In their recent work to be published on March 7, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, Dr. Singh and his colleagues from the Cook County Hospital in Chicago (USA) first activated the omentum using a foreign body to increase its content of stem cells and growth factors and then used the activated omentum to regenerate the liver. view more (2009-03-09)
New research may lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis in families
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that first-degree relatives (i.e., parents, siblings, children) of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) are more likely to have the biomarker of the disease in their blood. view more (2007-09-11)
Post-pregnancy events promote breast tumor metastasis
Changes in the tissue environment of the breast that occur after pregnancy promote the metastasis of breast tumor cells. view more (2006-02-03)
UCR biologists unravel the genetic secrets of black widow spider silk
Biologists at the University of California, Riverside have identified the genes, and determined the DNA sequences, for two key proteins in the "dragline silk" of the black widow spider - an advance that may lead to a variety of new materials for industrial, medical and military uses. view more (2007-06-13)
Airbus A380 Mega-liner: Weight Savings by Titanium
The titanium parts implemented in the new Airbus A380 aircraft will constitute about 9 % by weight. The new mega-liner basic version is able to transport 555 passengers over a distance of 14.800 kilometres at a speed of Mach 0.85. Length and wingspan do not exceed 80m. Airbus aircraft has been using titanium alloys from the very beginning. Due to... view more... (2003-06-23)
Pioneering surgical technique in Spain enables extirpation of benign tumours of the pancreas - preserving the organ's function to the maximum
A laparoscopic surgical technique enables extirpation of pancreatic tumours that are benign or of scant, highly localised malignant potential and that preserves the function of the organ to the maximum, at the same time significantly reducing the number of possible complications and the period of hospitalisation. view more (2009-02-04)
Estrogen study provides new impetus for development of colon cancer drugs
The female hormone estrogen may hold important clues for scientists working on new therapies for colon cancer, a study by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers suggests. view more (2006-12-19)
Weight cycling associated with increased risk for gallstones among men
Intentionally losing weight and then regaining it may increase men's risk for gallstones later in life. view more (2006-11-28)
Antegrade bowel intussusception can cause recurrent, chronic postoperative intestinal obstruction
Several complications can be seen after pancreatic surgery, most notably bleeding, infections and anastomotic dehiscence. Bowel obstruction can also be seen due to internal hernias or anastomotic strictures. A more unusual etiology for bowel obstruction in this setting is intussusception. view more (2007-11-14)
Studies force new view on biology of flavonoids
Flavonoids, a group of compounds found in fruits and vegetables that had been thought to be nutritionally important for their antioxidant activity, actually have little or no value in that role, according to an analysis by scientists in the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. view more (2007-03-06)
Papers published online on 14 December by Nature and the Nature Research Journals
NATURE GENETICS(http://www.nature.com/naturegenetics) [1] Mutant gene turns gall bladder into pancreas 10.1038/ng1273 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ng1273) A new study published in the January issue of Nature Genetics shows that, when a developmental gene switch was removed from experimental mice, what would have developed into a gall bladder... view more...

Gene discovery may shed light on kidney disease
In a finding that may have broader implications for understanding kidney disorders, genetics researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have identified a second gene that gives rise to Alagille syndrome, a genetic developmental disease that affects multiple organs. view more (2006-08-01)
Long-term L-carnitine supplementation prevents development of liver cancer
A study will be published on March 21, 2009 in World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses the question. A research group in King Saud University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia investigated, for the first time, the role of carnitine, a naturally occurring compound that is synthesized mainly in the liver, during the development of hepatocarcinogenesis. view more (2009-03-24)
Slowing down faster could win aero-engineers £50,000
A team of engineers from Bombardier Aerospace in Belfast has been shortlisted for the UK's biggest engineering prize for their success in developing a new aircraft thrust reverser. Mike Hatrick, Keith Campbell, Edwin Beattie, Finbarr McEvoy and Joel Bennett have taken an idea patented by their peers in the 1970's and used it to create a thrust... view more... (2001-07-03)
New test improves detection of liver cancer
Cancer of the liver is very difficult to detect, and it is a major cause of death in Asia and Africa, with rising incidence in Western countries as well. view more (2007-08-09)
HO-1 in sickle cell disease: friend or foe?
Researchers have unexpectedly shown that sickle cell-associated kidney injury may be reduced by inhibiting the enzyme activity of a protein that commonly confers protection in other diseased states. view more (2006-07-20)
Universal screening lowers risk of severe jaundice in infants
Screening all newborns for excessive bilirubin in the blood can significantly decrease the incidence of severe jaundice which, in extreme cases, can lead to seizures and brain damage. view more (2009-09-28)
Breast Reconstruction Advances Fix Distortions Left by Lumpectomy
Lumpectomy or breast conservation surgery is the most common type of breast cancer surgery currently performed. A benefit of the surgery is that only part of the breast is removed, but a drawback can be the resulting physical appearance of the breast, which may be disfigured, dented or uneven. view more (2008-04-24)
Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids-substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts-significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells. view more (2006-04-03)
Three-dimensional, miniature endoscope opens new diagnostic possibilities
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have developed a new type of miniature endoscope that produces three-dimensional, high-definition images, which may greatly expand the application of minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. view more (2006-10-19)
