SIRT1 takes down tumors
Yuan et al. have identified another anti-cancer effect of the "longevity" protein SIRT1. By speeding the destruction of the tumor promoter c-Myc, SIRT1 curbs cell division.   view more (2009-04-13)

Placental precursor stem cells require testosterone-free environment to survive
Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), cells found in the layer of peripheral embryonic stem cells from which the placenta is formed, are thought to exhibit "immune privilege" that aids cell survivability and is potentially beneficial for cell and gene therapies.   view more (2009-10-29)

New models question old assumptions about how many molecules it takes to control cell division
A single cell - whether a yeast cell or one of your cells - is exquisitely sensitive to its surroundings. It receives input signals, processes the information, makes decisions, and issues commands for making the proper response.   view more (2009-02-25)

Positive influences for offenders
This is the finding presented today, Tuesday 28 September, by Linda Gast and Philip Taylor of the Midlands Probation Training Consortium, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology Conference, held at Churchill College, Cambridge.   view more (1999-09-13)

NIAID describes challenges, prospects for an HIV vaccine
Events of the past year in HIV vaccine research have led some to question whether an effective HIV vaccine will ever be developed. In the August 28 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, officials from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, examine the extraordinarily... view more...

Scientists pinpoint protein link to fat storage
A protein found present in all cells in the body could help scientists better understand how we store fat.   view more (2009-09-18)

New understanding about mechanism for cell death after stroke leads to possible therapy
Scientists at the Brain Research Centre, a partnership of the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute, have uncovered new information about the mechanism by which brain cells die following a stroke, as well as a possible way to mitigate that damage.   view more (2009-11-23)

A new cellular pathway linked to cancer is identified by NYU researchers
In the life of a cell, the response to DNA damage determines whether the cell is fated to pause and repair itself, commit suicide, or grow uncontrollably, a route leading to cancer.   view more (2008-07-25)

Police ability to detect lies
This finding is presented today, Tuesday 28 September, by Dr Aldert Vrij and Samantha Mann of the University of Portsmouth, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology Conference, held at Churchill College, University of Cambridge.   view more (1999-09-13)

Copy number variation may stem from replication misstep
Genome rearrangements, resulting in variations in the numbers of copies of genes, occur when the cellular process that copies DNA during cell division stalls and then switches to a different genetic "template," said researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in a report that appears today in the journal Cell.   view more (2007-12-28)

The PC's PC
This is the finding of research presented today, Tuesday 28 September, by Michael Wilbert and Dr Brian Ewart of the Sunderland Crime Research Group, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology Conference, held at Churchill College, Cambridge.   view more (1999-09-13)

First major study of mammalian 'disorderly' proteins
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital turned up the heat on "disorderly" proteins and confirmed that most of these unruly molecules perform critical functions in the cell.   view more (2006-10-10)

Parental attitudes to young sex offenders
This is the finding presented today, Tuesday 28 September, by Carol Barnes and Dr Gareth Hughes of the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology Conference held at Churchill College, University of Cambridge.   view more (1999-09-13)

The secret of internal bliss revealed
Scientists now know for sure how cannabis works in the brain. By studying naturally occuring cannabinoids they have found that cannabis 'speaks' to nerve cells instructing them to stop releasing their chemical neurotransmitters so dumbing down their effects. The upside is that it makes cannabis effective for treatment of MS but it also has a... view more... (2001-04-03)

Stem cells' electric abilities might help their safe clinical use
Researchers from Johns Hopkins have discovered the presence of functional ion channels in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs).   view more (2005-10-21)

ORNL advances therapy for Parkinson's, other diseases
By miniaturizing a device that monitors the delivery of healthy cells, researchers at Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are developing a powerful instrument for physicians to use in treating patients with Parkinson's syndrome, brain tumors and other diseases.   view more (2009-07-23)

50 Years Of Hairy-Cell Leukemia Research To Be Observed
In 1958, Ohio State University cancer researcher Dr. Bertha Bouroncle first identified a deadly disease now known as hairy-cell leukemia, a once fatal disease that can now be effectively treated.   view more (2008-12-08)

Can pathological techniques help identify primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma?
Primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma is a rare but distinctive malignancy of the large bowel. More than 96% of signet ring cell carcinomas arise in the stomach, with the rest arising from other primary organs.   view more (2008-05-21)

UAB Anti-Cancer Research Featured in Scientific American
Scientific American magazine focused on two University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers in a news story on experimental next-generation anti-cancer therapies.   view more (2008-08-25)

Study shows newborns with jaundice at no greater risk
Newborn babies who are diagnosed with and treated for jaundice are no more likely than other babies to suffer long-term developmental problems, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.   view more (2006-05-04)
