Brain cell growth diminishes long before old age strikes, animal study shows
Even early in adulthood, aging begins to slow the mind's growth -- but it does not have to stop it altogether, suggests a Princeton University study on the brains of adult monkeys. view more (2007-10-16)
New generation of orthopedic, dental and cardiovascular prostheses
The futuristic technology of the Six Million Dollar Man -specifically a part metal and part flesh human being - won't be exclusive to Hollywood anymore. view more (2009-01-28)
Study uncovers significant functional differences of novel estrogen receptor
Because of these differences, this new estrogen receptor could become an important therapeutic target and may play a further signaling role in other estrogen target tissues, including uterus and prostate tissues. view more (2006-06-09)
Hormone therapy helps short children grow up
Growth hormone treatment may significantly increase final height in children diagnosed with short stature, even in cases where the child is not growth hormone deficient, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-11-06)
Cell Biologists Identify New Tumor Suppressor for Lung Cancer
Cancer and cell biology experts at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have identified a new tumor suppressor that may help scientists develop more targeted drug therapies to combat lung cancer. view more (2009-01-06)
A new Eph receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed in gastric cancer was found
The potential role of Eph receptor and ephrin ligand family in human cancer is receiving increasing attention. Compared with other Eph receptors, EphA4 is distinguished by its ability to bind to both type A ephrins and most type B ephrins. view more (2008-10-29)
Transport Behavior of E. coli Varies Depending on Manure Source
Escherichia coli is a commonly used indicator organism for detecting the presence of fecal contamination in drinking water supplies. view more (2009-03-10)
Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids-substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts-significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells. view more (2006-04-03)
Gene may hold key to future cancer hope
Scientists may have discovered a new way of killing tumours in what they hope could one day lead to alternative forms of cancer treatments. view more (2007-10-09)
Jefferson scientists find tumor suppressor gene protects against pre-cancerous development
Cell biologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have provided further evidence that a gene thought to play a role in suppressing tumors actually can protect against the development of pre-cancerous cell growth as well. view more (2006-11-02)
Genes that both extend life and protect against cancer identified
A person is 100 times more likely to get cancer at age 65 than at age 35. But new research reported today in the journal "Nature Genetics" identifies naturally occurring processes that allow many genes to both slow aging and protect against cancer in the much-studied C. elegans roundworm. view more (2007-10-15)
NEW TEST FOR DOPING IN RACEHORSES
Scientists from Britain, Australia and South Africa have collaborated to develop a new test for drug abuse in racehorses. Use of growth hormone doping is worrying both horse racing and athletics authorities. Now new work, presented at the British Endocrine Societies annual meeting in Birmingham, may prevent cheating in horse racing, as well as... view more... (2000-03-07)
A new take on growth factor signaling in tamoxifen resistance
Differences in growth factor (GF) signaling may cause the poor prognosis in some breast cancer cases. A new study, published in the open access journal BMC Medical Genomics, suggests that some estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers respond poorly to tamoxifen because of increased GF signaling. view more (2009-06-24)
Treatment of Down syndrome in mice restores nerve growth in cerebellum
Researchers at Johns Hopkins restored the normal growth of specific nerve cells in the cerebellum of mouse models of Down syndrome (DS) that were stunted by this genetic condition. view more (2006-01-25)
Scientists discover key factor in regulating placenta and fetal growth
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have shown that a common biological protein molecule called SHP-2 is crucial for encouraging placenta growth. view more (2009-09-21)
A new light on the anti-tumor mechanisms of Scutellaria barbata
Medicinal plants have been used as traditional remedies for hundreds of years. Among them, S. barbata has been traditionally used in treatment of hepatitis, inflammation, osteomyelitis and gynecological diseases in China. view more (2009-01-05)
Protein binds whenever it can
Dutch cancer researcher Joost Martens has discovered that the protein p300, which plays an important role in the correct transcription of DNA to RNA, can bind to DNA at several sites. The protein can also occupy a position in various complexes, each with its own protein composition. This knowledge is important for gaining a better understanding of... view more... (2003-06-24)
Researchers identify new anti-tumor gene
Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University have identified a new anti-tumor gene called SARI that can interact with and suppress a key protein that is overexpressed in 90 percent of human cancers. The discovery could one day lead to an effective gene therapy for cancer. view more (2008-12-17)
Study says normal but out-of-control enzyme may be culprit that signals some cells to become cancer
Working with human colorectal cancer cells, a University of Minnesota team, led by cancer biologists Zigang Dong and Ann Bode, has found the potential culprit among a network of enzymes that relay signals inside cells to regulate such functions as cell growth, cancer development and programmed cell death. view more (2007-08-01)
Forsyth scientists discover early key to regeneration
Science may be one step closer to understanding how a limb can be grown or a spinal cord can be repaired. Scientists at The Forsyth Institute have discovered that some cells have to die for regeneration to occur. view more (2006-12-13)
