Rare disease provides clues about enzyme role in arrhythmias
A University of Iowa study provides insight into a calcium-sensing enzyme already known to play a role in irregular heartbeats and other critical functions. view more (2008-12-12)
Researchers show the BEST way to reduce osteoporosis risk
Osteoporosis International, the leading clinical publication on the disease, published data from the Bone Estrogen Strength Training (BEST) Study at The University of Arizona which confirmed that a specific regimen of weight-bearing and resistance exercises, combined with calcium citrate supplement over four years, provided significant improvement... view more...

Shape Matters: NC State Scientists Characterize Structure of Protein Involved in Preventing Alzheimer's, Huntington's Diseases
Scientists at North Carolina State University have effectively lifted the veil from an important protein that is linked to the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Huntington's. view more (2006-07-26)
Researchers reveal key human protein's structure, promising new discoveries for leukemia, AIDS and cellular calcium release
Cornell University researchers have discovered the 3-D crystal structure of a protein, human CD38, which may lead to important discoveries about how cells release calcium - a mineral used in almost every cellular process. view more (2005-09-20)
Evidence from Hawaiian volcanoes shows that Earth recycles its crust
A geologist at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has come up with evidence our planet practices recycling on a grand scale. view more (2006-11-30)
U of M study examines kidney stone prevention in astronauts
As the space shuttle Discovery prepares to launch on July 1, researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified a way for astronauts to reduce their risk of developing kidney stones while in space. view more (2006-06-28)
Nanoparticle 'Smart Bomb' Targets Drug Delivery to Cancer Cells
Researchers at North Carolina State University have successfully modified a common plant virus to deliver drugs only to specific cells inside the human body, without affecting surrounding tissue. view more (2009-02-13)
Cooling Off Periods
Research by a team of Cambridge scientists has provided new clues about the first dramatic cooling of the Earth's climate 34 million years ago. The team, based at the University of Cambridge's Department of Earth Sciences said that ocean temperature drops were apparently not responsible for the rapid formation of ice in Antarctica. Carrie Lear,... view more... (2000-01-12)
Increased screening may better predict those at higher risk for heart disease, researchers report
Adding noninvasive imaging to current risk-assessment protocols may identify more people who are at risk of developing heart disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2008-05-27)
Bone research that grows on you
Rapid and guided healing of bones has moved a step closer with research by two biomedical engineering students who have found new ways to deliver bone growth enhancers directly to broken or weakened bones. view more (2006-11-01)
Bursting buds are dicing with death
Scientists from the John Innes Centre (JIC), Norwich (1) have today reported that highly toxic compounds, called free radicals, are essential to plant growth. The researchers had found that the controlled production of free radicals is an essential first step in switching on the expansion of cells that underlies the growth of plant shoots, roots,... view more...

Huntington's disease problem start early
The damaging effects of the mutated protein involved in Huntington's disease take place earlier in cell life than previously believed, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in a report that appears in the current edition of the journal Neuron. view more (2008-01-10)
A clearer view of crystal growing
As technology progresses toward ever finer microelectronic structures, the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation used to depict them has to be shortened. The emerging generation of photolithographic processes works at 157 nanometers - a wavelength at which glass and even quartz glass are not transparent enough. The preferred material here is... view more... (2002-09-20)
DREAM: 1 gene regulates pain, learning and memory
In 2002, a group of scientists at the University of Toronto was able to identify a gene which they dubbed DREAM (downstream regulatory element antagonistic modulator). view more (2009-01-16)
Education level linked with presence of coronary artery calcium deposits
Higher levels of education are associated with a lower prevalence of coronary artery calcium, an indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis (thickening and plaque deposits in the artery walls) among young adults and those in early middle age. view more (2006-04-19)
Altering genetic blueprint of receptors in brain could help stroke victims avoid brain damage
A University of Central Florida researcher has discovered that altering a receptor that mediates communication between nerve cells in the brain significantly improves animals' chances of surviving strokes and allows them to remain healthier afterwards. view more (2006-04-11)
New link found between osteoporosis and coeliac disease
People with coeliac disease may develop osteoporosis because their immune system attacks their bone tissue, a new study has shown. view more (2009-10-08)
A plant's arsenal of crystalline darts and sand
Pet owners have heard the warnings to keep certain poisonous houseplants away from their pets, such as Dieffenbachia (dumbcane), Philodendron, peace lily, and pothos. For houseplants like these and others, the problem may not just be a poison, but the presence of tiny crystals throughout the plant. view more (2009-08-07)
Researchers Pinpoint Neural Nanoblockers in Carbon Nanotubes
A team of Brown University scientists has pinpointed why carbon nanotubes tend to block a critical signaling pathway in neurons. view more (2009-08-28)
Einstein scientists discover cause and possible treatments for hereditary movement disorder
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered the underlying cause of a type of ataxia, hereditary disorders characterized by poor balance, loss of posture and difficulty performing rapid coordinated movement. view more (2006-03-02)
