One step closer to an artificial nerve cell
Scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet and Linköping University are well on the way to creating the first artificial nerve cell that can communicate specifically with nerve cells in the body using neurotransmitters. view more (2009-07-08)
New evidence shows Rituximab halts damage to joints
New data, presented today at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology show for the first time that a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment, rituximab, is able to significantly inhibit the structural damage to joints caused by RA in patients who have long-standing disease and an inadequate response to one or more TNF (Tumour Necrosis Factor)... view more...

Aging boosts chances that a family line will be long-lived
Scientists have puzzled over just why organisms evolved aging as a strategy, and now there appears to be an answer. Allowing one individual to carry all the cellular damage inflicted over time, rather than dividing it between two organisms during reproduction, increases the chances that the individual's line will continue to reproduce for many... view more...

Immune cells ameliorate hypertension-induced cardiac damage in mice
Researchers in Berlin, Germany have found that a specific type of immune cell, the regulatory T lymphocyte (Treg) plays an important role in hypertension-induced cardiac damage. view more (2009-06-10)
Early hearing tests improve children's recovery from meningitis
Hearing loss and its impact in social interactions can be potentially minimized in children with bacterial meningitis through early identification, according to a study conducted at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in Houston. view more (2006-09-19)
Miracle leaves that may help protect against liver damage
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berries are well known for their cholesterol busting properties, but scientists in India say that its leaves are also rich in anti-oxidants and may help ward off liver disease, according to new research due to be published in the Society of Chemical Industry's (SCI) Journal of the Science of Food and... view more...

Acrylamide and health risks
Researcher Birgit Paulsson at Stockholm University have conducted follow-up studies of the leakage of acrylamides in connection with tunnel construction under the Halland Ridge in southwestern Sweden. The aim has primarily been to enhance the database for assessing health risks, primarily cancer risks, in connection with this exposure and in... view more... (2003-04-22)
When it comes to brain damage, blankets take the place of drugs
Have you ever covered yourself with a blanket to stave off the shivers? A new study shows that a blanket can also help alleviate shivering in patients who have been cooled to prevent brain damage. view more (2009-07-08)
Eyes may provide window to future strokes
Looking into our eyes may help doctors predict who is at risk for stroke. A new study found that people with changes in the small blood vessels in their eyes are more likely to later suffer a stroke than people without these signs. view more (2005-10-11)
Researchers Studying Hearing Loss in Adult Animals Find that Auditory Regions of the Brain Convert to the Sense of Touch
Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine researchers have discovered that adult animals with hearing loss actually re-route the sense of touch into the hearing parts of the brain. view more (2009-03-25)
Hearing loss from chemotherapy underestimated
By 14, Peter Johnson had survived brain cancer and a relapse of the disease in his shoulder. But it was treatment for the last tumor that would create his life's greatest challenges. view more (2005-12-12)
A potential approach to treatment of hepatitis B virus infection
Eukaryotic cells employ multiple strategies of checkpoint signaling and DNA repair mechanisms to monitor and repair damaged DNA. view more (2008-09-10)

Study links high levels of nitric oxide to infertility and sperm DNA damage
Iranian scientists have linked a chemical that plays an essential role in many bodily functions to sperm DNA damage and male infertility. view more (2006-06-19)
Blindsight: How brain sees what you do not see
Blindsight is a phenomenon in which patients with damage in the primary visual cortex of the brain can tell where an object is although they claim they cannot see it. view more (2008-10-15)
Drawing inspiration from nature to build a better radio
MIT engineers have built a fast, ultra-broadband, low-power radio chip, modeled on the human inner ear, that could enable wireless devices capable of receiving cell phone, Internet, radio and television signals. view more (2009-06-04)
New Treatment for Radiotherapy-Induced Side Effects Developed at Oxford
As seen in recent health news reports, treatments for side effects associated with radiotherapy are in high demand. An Oxford University scientist at the Research Institute of Oxford’s Churchill Hospital has invented a new non-toxic compound therapy that has shown positive results in the treatment of radiotherapy-induced side effects. This... view more... (2002-10-09)
