Missing or mutated 'clock' gene linked to vascular disease
The circadian clocks that set the rhythmic motion of our bodies for wakeful days and sleepy nights can also set us up for vascular disease when broken, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-03-26)
Nanotechnology enables low-dose treatment of atherosclerotic plaques
In laboratory tests, one very low dose of a drug was enough to show an effect on notoriously tenacious artery-clogging plaques. What kind of drug is that potent? view more (2006-07-28)
Children of diabetics show signs of atherosclerosis
The blood vessels of people whose parents both have type 2 diabetes do not respond as well to changes in blood flow as those of people without a family history of diabetes, even if they do not have diabetes themselves. view more (2006-06-21)
A new measure for the malignancy of melanoma
Every tumor, starting from a size of a few millimeters, depends on a supply of nutrients and oxygen. Therefore, using special growth factors, it induces vascular wall cells of neighboring blood vessels to sprout new capillaries in order to get connected to the blood circulation. view more (2009-03-12)
Clumps of red and white blood cells may contribute to sickle cell disease
It's long been known that patients with sickle cell disease have malformed, "sickle-shaped" red blood cells - which are normally disc-shaped - that can cause sudden painful episodes when they block small blood vessels. view more (2008-04-29)
Salk study links diabetes and Alzheimer's disease
Diabetic individuals have a significantly higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease but the molecular connection between the two remains unexplained. Now, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies identified the probable molecular basis for the diabetes - Alzheimer's interaction. view more (2008-05-01)
Study may explain exercise-induced fatigue in muscular dystrophies
A University of Iowa study suggests that the prolonged fatigue after mild exercise that occurs in people with many forms of muscular dystrophy is distinct from the inherent muscle weakness caused by the disease. view more (2008-10-27)
New angiogenesis finding may help fight cancer growth
A researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health has discovered a new part of the complicated mechanism that governs the formation of blood vessels, or angiogenesis. view more (2006-09-29)
New treatment for severe malaria
The most dangerous form of malaria is difficult to treat and claims two million lives a year. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a powerful new weapon against the disease. view more (2006-10-02)
New Discovery Brings Hope to Treatment of Lymphatic Diseases
Researchers in the laboratory of Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati at the University of Kentucky have discovered the first naturally occurring molecule that selectively blocks lymphatic vessel growth. view more (2009-08-11)
Defective lymphatic vessels identified as a novel cause of obesity
Leaky lymphatic vessels are the leading cause of the adult onset obesity observed in a laboratory model developed by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2005-09-20)
Gene therapy technique thwarts cancer by cutting off tumor blood supply
University of Florida researchers have come up with a new gene therapy method to disrupt cancer growth by using a synthetic protein to induce blood clotting that cuts off a tumor's blood and nutrient supply. view more (2009-06-12)
Scientists find how neural activity spurs blood flow in the brain
New research from Harvard University neuroscientists has pinpointed exactly how neural activity boosts blood flow to the brain. The finding has important implications for our understanding of common brain imaging techniques such as fMRI, which uses blood flow in the brain as a proxy for neural activity. view more (2008-06-26)
Scientists Exploring Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis Make Unexpected Discovery That One Day May Lead to New Treatments
What makes joints in people with rheumatoid arthritis, and related conditions like Lyme disease or lupus, so susceptible to attack by the body's immune system, leading to painful flare-ups and deterioration? The answer may surprise you. view more (2006-02-16)
Drug treatment slows macular vision loss in diabetics
A drug commonly used to slow the loss of central vision has shown promise in stemming a common precursor of blindness in diabetics, which involves the same central light-sensitive area of retina, Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute scientists report. view more (2006-12-18)
Certain anticancer agents could be harmful to patients with heart disease
A set of promising new anticancer agents could have unforeseen risks in individuals with heart disease, suggests research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-06-24)
Genetic finding sheds light on diseases causing blood vessel breakdown
Twenty-one years after they first described a fatal genetic disorder in Missouri and Arkansas families, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have linked the condition to mutations in a gene known as TREX1. view more (2007-07-30)
Northwestern researchers launch Avastin trial for pancreatic tumors
Avastin is designed to inhibit Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), a protein that plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis or blood vessel formation, and maintenance of existing tumor vessels. view more (2006-02-22)
Nottingham project to improve treatment for patients with incurable blood disease
The new Sickle Cell Anaemia Detector research project, being launched today by MP Paul Boateng, has been funded with a £237,000 grant from the Big Lottery Fund - £112,000 of which will be coming to Nottingham - and involves partners at Imperial College and the Sickle Cell Society. view more (2005-04-01)
UNC study suggests new approach to common cause of blindness
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine in collaboration with lead investigators at the University of Kentucky have identified a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of age-related macular degeneration, the most common cause of blindness in older Americans. view more (2009-06-15)
