Brain Structure Assists in Immune Response, According to Penn Vet Study
For the first time, a team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have imaged in real time the body's immune response to a parasitic infection in the brain. view more (2009-01-29)
Small molecule offers big hope against cancer
DCA is an odourless, colourless, inexpensive, relatively non-toxic, small molecule. And researchers at the University of Alberta believe it may soon be used as an effective treatment for many forms of cancer. view more (2007-01-17)
Jury still out over risks of heading a soccer ball
Heading the ball in soccer is unlikely to cause brain injury but head to head collisions might, says a leading sports physician in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-08-12)
Health: Improving the recognition of brain tumours
Researchers at the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry in Jülich have developed a short-lived, radioactive amino acid that delivers much more precise information on brain tumours and their structure than was possible in the past. By combining positron emission tomography (PET), a process that visualises the spread of radioactive substances in the... view more... (2005-05-04)
Increased ovarian cancer risk not found in women with breast cancer family history
Women with a strong family history of breast cancer but who don't have breast cancer genetic mutations can now be reassured that they are not at increased risk for ovarian cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
Brain-scanning technology reveals how we process brands and products
In a groundbreaking new study, researchers from the University of Michigan and Harvard University use cutting-edge brain-scanning technology to explore how different regions of the brain are activated when we think about certain qualities of brands and products. view more (2006-03-20)
Brain changes in patients with migraine
Researchers from Harvard Medical School have found increased thickness of two areas of the brain cortex in people with migraine when compared to healthy controls. view more (2006-10-17)
Brain tumors may originate with neural stem cells, researchers say
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined that stem cells in a certain region of the brain may be the source of a particular type of incurable brain tumor and may be implicated in other types of brain cancers as well. view more (2005-08-16)
Novel cancer drug reduces neuroblastoma growth by 75 percent
Researchers from the Children's Cancer Hospital at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found a new drug that restricts the growth of neuroblastoma, a childhood brain cancer. view more (2009-04-24)
Radiotherapy advance points way to noninvasive brain cancer treatment
With an equal rate of incidence and mortality-the number of those who get it, and the number of those who die from it-Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is a brain cancer death sentence. view more (2006-01-03)
Alzheimer's disease as a case of brake failure?
Rutgers researcher Karl Herrup and colleagues at Case Western Reserve University have discovered that a protein that suppresses cell division in brain cells effectively "puts the brakes" on the dementia that comes with Alzheimer's disease (AD). When the brakes fail, dementia results. view more (2008-06-25)
Me, My Left Brain and I: Recognising yourself and others
Whereas the right side of the brain seems to be used for identifying other people's faces, the left side of the brain is used when we recognise our own. Reports out from psychologists today suggest that this means the right side of the brain is used to perceive others and the left side of the brain is specialised for processing the self. view more (2004-04-19)
Color contrast is 'seen' by the brain early doors
Colour contrast is detected much earlier in the brain than previously thought, a new study shows. view more (2007-09-10)
Dying of excitement
For neurons, overexcitement is deadly. To avoid this, brain cells must sop up unneeded neurotransmitters from the synapse through membrane-bound transporters. If these transporters fail, neurons and other brain cells get excited to death- a phenomenon that may contribute to brain damage during stroke and Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-03-06)
Effects of pediatric brain tumors and their treatment haunt survivors for years, study finds
Children who survive brain cancer struggle for years with the malevolent echo of the disease and its treatment, according to a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. view more (2005-08-19)
Johns Hopkins scientists map brain area that may aid hunt for human brain stem cells
A study led by a Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon has provided the first comprehensive map of a part of the adult human brain containing astrocytes, cells known to produce growth factors critical to the regeneration of damaged neural tissue and that potentially serve as brain stem cells. view more (2006-02-17)
Chemotherapy causes delayed severe neural damage
Cancer treatment with chemotherapeutic agents is often associated with delayed adverse neurological consequences - an occurrence often referred to as "chemobrain" - that may compromise the quality of life of a proportion of cancer survivors. view more (2008-04-22)
Link between Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain damage clarified
This week scientists of the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) will once again publish a breakthrough in their research regarding Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-08-04)
Women without regular medical care at increased risk of ovarian cancer
In North America, ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecological cancer and is the leading cause of death among women with gynecological cancer. The high mortality is in part due to the difficulty of detecting and diagnosing this condition at an early stage. view more (2007-03-27)
GABA halts stem cell production in the brain
Release of the neurotransmitter GABA by adult neuronal precursor cells that develop into neurons limits stem cell proliferation, according to a study at Yale School of Medicine in the September issue of Nature Neuroscience. view more (2005-09-02)
