A COMPARISON OF PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC APPROACHES IN OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER.
A major multicenter French study compared two psychotherapy approaches in obsessive compulsive disorder. The study was designed to compare cognitive therapy (CT) with intensive behavior therapy (BT) in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and to study their change process. Sixty-five outpatients... view more (2001-11-07)

Shilatifard and colleagues identify a potential target for treatment of mixed lineage leukemia
Ali Shilatifard, Ph.D., Investigator, has identified a cellular factor that can reverse histone trimethylation caused by the trithorax gene, the Drosophila homologue of the human mixed lineage leukemia gene, MLL. MLL, which is found in translocations in a variety of hematological malignancies, is a... view more (2007-03-12)

New study shows health benefits of probiotic could extend to the entire body
Data from a recent study demonstrate the anti-inflammatory and pathogen protection benefits of Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 a probiotic bacterial strain of human origin.   view more (2008-08-25)

Energy management in cells may hold key to cancer defense
In an ongoing effort to fight disease by manipulating energy regulation of cells, a collaborative study led by Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) has demonstrated that cells lacking a tumor-suppressing kinase called LKB1 can still maintain healthy energy levels when they become stressed.   view more (2005-08-22)

Marine Reserves Have Rapid and Lasting Effects - Benjamin S. Halpern & Robert R. Warner in ECOLOGY LETTERS
Marine reserves have rapid and lasting impacts on organisms inside reserves, according to scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In a paper published in the current issue of ECOLOGY LETTERS, the researchers reviewed 80 studies from `no-take` reserves, where it is illegal to... view more (2002-05-21)

Tobacco exposure in womb may slow arousal response and help explain increased cot death risk among babies of smokers
A slower arousal response, as a result of tobacco exposure in the womb, might explain the increased risk of cot death (SIDS) among babies of smokers, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.   view more (2002-12-17)

Sandia researchers take new approach to studying how cells respond to pathogens
A Sandia National Laboratories research team led by Anup Singh is taking a new approach to studying how immune cells respond to pathogens in the first few minutes and hours of exposure.   view more (2007-04-04)

NIST posts online database of cryogenic materials properties
In response to numerous inquiries from academia, industry, and other government labs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published a new database on the properties of solid materials at temperatures ranging from cryogenic (as low as 4 K, which is -269 degrees C or... view more (2007-11-09)

Combination treatment enhances tetanus vaccination
In studies with mice, Penn State researchers have shown that a combination of retinoic acid - a product the body makes naturally from vitamin A - and PIC, a synthetic immunity booster, significantly elevates the immune system response to a tetanus shot.   view more (2005-09-13)

Researchers link master regulator of innate immunity to the hypoxic response
Survival of all animals depends on their ability to withstand microbial infections and adapt to fluctuations in oxygen concentrations.   view more (2008-04-24)

Researchers identify proteins making up mechanosensitive ion channels
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are the first to identify two proteins responsible for mechanosensitive ion channel activities in plant roots. Scientists have long known that plant cells respond to physical forces. Until now, however, the proteins controlling the ion channel... view more (2008-06-03)

Key to out-of-control immune response in lung injury found
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have discovered how a protein modulates the inflammatory response in sudden, life-threatening lung failure. The protein's previously unknown role is reported in the August issue of Nature Medicine.   view more (2007-08-17)

First evidence of gene therapy for abnormal blood vessel growth in newborns
The first evidence of the potential for gene therapy to treat eye disease that stems from abnormal blood vessel growth is revealed in research published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. Gene therapy is a relatively new and much heralded therapeutic approach. But despite the advances in... view more (2001-07-18)

200 proteins which detect diseases of the liver
The biochemist Enrique Santamaría Martínez, a researcher in the area of Genetic Therapy and Hepatology at the CIMA of the University of Navarra, has identified more than 200 proteins which can be considered as indicators of the progression of steatohepatitis and liver... view more (2005-12-14)

The road to allergy
A UK scientist has discovered the route and type of transport taken by peanut proteins through the gut to the immune system. This route favours an immune response, which helps explain why peanuts are one of the most allergenic foods.   view more (2004-11-18)

A fatty acid found in milk may help control inflammatory diseases
One of the isomers of conjugated linoleic acid, a group of fatty acids found in milk, is a natural regulator of the COX-2 protein, which plays a significant role in inflammatory disease such as arthritis and cancer.   view more (2005-10-19)

Protein 'tubules' free avian flu virus from immune recognition
A protein found in the virulent avian influenza virus strain called H5N1 forms tiny tubules in which it "hides" the pieces of double-stranded RNA formed during viral infection, which otherwise would prompt an antiviral immune response from infected cells, said Baylor College of Medicine... view more (2008-11-06)

Finding protection from tumor growth in unexpected places
Researchers have discovered that an enzyme commonly involved in regulating blood pressure also provides protection from tumor growth when strongly expressed in immune cells.   view more (2007-06-06)

Blockade of fat hormone helps halt and heal multiple sclerosis
Italian researchers have found that blockade of the hormone leptin, which is primarily produced in fats cells, has beneficial effects on the induction and progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice - the animal model of human multiple sclerosis (MS).   view more (2006-01-13)

A Jekyll and Hyde of cytokines: IL-25 both promotes and limits inflammatory diseases
The same signal responsible for promoting the type of immune responses that cause asthma and allergy can also limit the type of inflammation associated with debilitating diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and multiple sclerosis.   view more (2006-04-10)

How stem cells are regulated
Researchers from Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) at University of Copenhagen have identified a new group of proteins that regulate the function of stem cells. The results are published in the new issue of Cell.   view more (2007-02-23)

Regular, moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise significantly reduces markers of increased colon-cancer risk in men
Regular, moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise significantly reduces a risk factor associated with the formation of colon polyps and colon cancer in men.   view more (2006-09-13)

Tumor cell activity may provide clues for treating breast cancer in young women
When women under 50 develop breast cancer the disease tends to be more aggressive and less responsive to treatment than when it occurs in older women.   view more (2007-06-04)

The effects of climate change on the physiology of alfalfa
The biologist Gorka Erice Soreasu, a researcher in the Department of Plant Biology of the University of Navarra, has studied the effects of climate change on the physiology of alfalfa.   view more (2006-04-12)

USC researchers find new clues to risk of Hodgkin lymphoma
A long-term study of twins has led University of Southern California (USC) researchers to find potential links between Hodgkin lymphoma and levels of an immune response protein (interleukin-12).   view more (2008-04-02)
