Researchers identify gene associated with muscular dystrophy-related vision problems
Skeletal muscle disease and vision deficits might seem unrelated, but a frog model of muscular dystrophy shows it is not such a leap. view more (2009-04-21)
Carbon monoxide inhibitor controls traumatic bleeding, Tulane University researchers show
A chemical that blocks carbon monoxide (CO) has been used for the first time to arrest traumatic bleeding in rats, according to a Tulane University research team. view more (2006-04-06)
Limiting damage after heart transplantation
Scientists from Imperial College School of Medicine at Harefield Hospital may have found a way of dampening down damaging immune responses following heart transplants. Professor Rose will describe her work at the British Society for Immunology’s Congress 2000 in Harrogate today (Thursday 7 December 2000). World-wide, 5,000 heart transplants... view more...

Gladstone scientists identify single microRNA that controls blood vessel development
Scientists from the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) and UCSF have identified a key regulatory factor that controls development of the human vascular system, the extensive network of arteries, veins, and capillaries that allow blood to reach all tissues and organs. view more (2008-08-12)
NEW DEVICE COULD REVOLUTIONISE CORONARY-ARTERY BYPASS SURGERY
A new surgical device that has been used by a Swiss medical team could greatly reduce the time and skill required for coronary-artery bypass surgery, conclude authors of a fast-track research letter available from THE LANCET's website today (Monday 19 March 2001). Friedrich Eckstein, Thierry Carrel, and colleagues from University Hospital, Bern,... view more... (2001-03-16)
Improving understanding of cell behaviour in breast cancer
The invasion and spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body, known as metastasis, is a principal cause of death in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. view more (2008-07-16)
Stem Cells from Hair Follicles May Help
For a rich source of stem cells to be engineered into new blood vessels or skin tissue, clinicians may one day look no further than the hair on their patients' heads, according to new research published earlier this month by University at Buffalo engineers. view more (2008-03-31)
Studies find possible drug targets for improving vascular health
The enzyme nitric oxide synthase plays a role in peripheral vascular disease, a common disease that impairs the mobility of 25 percent of people over the age of 50, according to a Yale study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). view more (2005-08-26)

Trying to understand and stop the collateral lung damage that can occur in babies with congenital heart disease is the focus of a new study. view more (2008-03-11)
UNC study: Aerobic activity may keep the brain young
In the UNC study, to be published July 9 in the American Journal of Neuroradiology, physically active elderly people showed healthier cerebral blood vessels than those who are not active. view more (2009-06-30)
Pittsburgh researchers identify source of multipotent stem cells with broad regenerative potential
In a promising finding for the field of regenerative medicine, stem cell researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a source of adult stem cells found on the walls of blood vessels with the unlimited potential to differentiate into human tissues such as bone, cartilage and muscle. view more (2008-09-22)
New Treatment Boosts Bone Healing and Re-Growth
A drug originally used to treat iron poisoning can significantly boost the body's own ability to heal and re-grow injured bones, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). view more (2008-01-10)
Drug that chokes off tumor blood vessels offers new hope to lung cancer patients
Patients suffering from the most common type of lung cancer experienced a 20-percent improvement in overall survival in a national clinical trial of a drug that chokes off the blood vessels nourishing tumors, a multicenter study has found. view more (2006-12-14)
Comprehensive diagnosis of heart disease with a single CT scan
In the current issue of the journal Circulation, a research team from the Medical University of South Carolina's (MUSC) Heart & Vascular Center report their initial experience with a novel imaging technique that enables comprehensive diagnosis of heart disease based on a single computerized tomographic (CT) scan. view more (2008-03-05)
MIT method reveals how radiation damages the body
Researchers at MIT have devised a new method for examining how radiation damages normal tissue in the body. view more (2006-03-01)
A longer lasting tumor blocker
On the heels of dismaying reports that a promising antitumor drug could, in theory, shorten patients' long-term survival, comes a promising study by a Japanese team of researchers that suggests a potentially better option. view more (2009-04-28)

GROWTH FACTOR HEALS WOUNDS
Russian physicians suggested a new way of wound treatment with substances released by the human or animal body itself. There is no way of wound treatment that would satisfy all surgeons. Doctors permanently define more precisely processes occurring in wound so the theory outruns the treatment techniques. Recently scientists have investigate the... view more... (2000-12-01)
UK researcher finds 'switching' compound for angiogenesis
For the second time in a week Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati, UK HealthCare physician and associate professor and vice chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, announced a discovery from his lab that will affect the future of macular degeneration treatment and research. view more (2006-02-03)
