New paper sheds light on bacterial cell wall recycling
A new paper by a team of researchers led by Shahriar Mobashery, Navari Family Professor of Life Sciences at the University of Notre Dame, provides important new insights into the process by which bacteria recycle their cell wall. view more (2008-09-09)
Deaths after fracture have not declined in 20 years
Death rates among elderly people after fracturing a thigh bone (neck of femur) have not declined appreciably during the past 20 years, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-10-01)
Used mattresses may increase risk of cot death
Babies who routinely sleep on an infant mattress previously used by another child may be at increased risk of cot death, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-10-30)
No increased risk of brain cancer from electromagnetic fields
Exposure to electromagnetic fields does not increase the risk of developing a brain tumour, finds a study of electricity industry workers, reported in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Researchers from the Institute of Occupational Health at the University of Birmingham assessed causes of death among just under 84,000 workers employed in... view more... (2001-09-07)
Synthetic molecule causes cancer cells to self-destruct
Scientists have found a way to trick cancer cells into committing suicide. The novel technique potentially offers an effective method of providing personalized anti-cancer therapy. view more (2006-08-28)
Mayo discovers protein as potential tactic to prevent tumors
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that a protein that initiates a "quality control check" during cell division also directs cell death for those cells damaged during duplication. view more (2006-10-13)
Researchers uncover how prostate cancer cells defy death
New findings about how prostate cancer cells are able to resist hormone treatment and defy death may lead to more effective drug treatments. view more (2006-07-31)
Gladstone researchers identify new drug target for Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease have identified a potential new way to stop brain cell death related to Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-12-02)
Recurrence of sudden infant death syndrome has been overestimated
Recurrence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is rare and has been overestimated by studies which have tried to quantify it. view more (2007-06-12)
MRSA deaths on the rise
Infections due to MRSA seem to be an increasing cause of death in England and Wales, concludes a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-12-11)
Some evidence that breast feeding protects against cot death (SIDS)
Breastfeeding might protect against cot death, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-05-20)
A new light on the mechanisms of early stage liver reperfusion injury
Reperfusion of a previously ischemic tissue is associated with additional injury leading to structural and functional alterations in many organs including the liver. view more (2009-05-08)
Postmortem guidelines are frequently not followed
Guidelines for completing death certificates and seeking consent for a necropsy are frequently not followed, and many of these activities are being undertaken by junior medical staff, concludes a study in Journal of Clinical Pathology. Data over a one-year period were collected for all deaths at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield to... view more... (2003-06-27)
Sunlight associated with lower risk of death from breast and colon cancer
Sunlight is associated with a reduced risk of breast and colon cancer, finds research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2002-04-02)
Free radical cell death switch identified
Humans and other organisms depend on oxygen to produce the energy required for cells to carry out their normal functions. A cell's engine, the mitochondria, converts oxygen into energy. But this process also leaves a kind of exhaust product known as free radicals. view more (2006-06-02)
Seat belts offer more protection than air bags
Driver air bags offer relatively little benefit in road vehicle crashes compared with seat belts, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. Researchers in the United States identified all passenger vehicles that crashed during 1990-2000 in which the driver or passenger, or both, died. A sample of 51,031 driver-passenger pairs was analysed to... view more... (2002-05-07)
Cancer: The cost of being smarter than chimps?
Are the cognitively superior brains of humans, in part, responsible for our higher rates of cancer? That's a question that has nagged at John McDonald, chair of Georgia Tech's School of Biology and chief research scientist at the Ovarian Cancer Institute, for a while. view more (2009-06-10)
Nanoparticles trigger cell death?
Nanoparticles that are one milliard of a metre in size are widely used, for example, in cosmetics and food packaging materials. view more (2008-11-13)
Surgical advances prevent deaths in older heart bypass patients
The age of patients undergoing heart bypass operations has risen sharply, yet the risk of death within two years of the operation has declined, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-23)
Med school discovery could lead to better cancer diagnosis, drugs
A Florida State University College of Medicine research team led by Yanchang Wang has discovered an important new layer of regulation in the cell division cycle, which could lead to a greater understanding of the way cancer begins. view more (2008-11-24)
