Do bilingual persons have distinct language areas in the brain?
A new study carried out at the University of Haifa sheds light on how first and second languages are represented in the brain of a bilingual person. view more (2009-07-08)
Daily sex helps to reduce sperm DNA damage and improve fertility
Daily sex (or ejaculating daily) for seven days improves men's sperm quality by reducing the amount of DNA damage. view more (2009-06-30)
UVA researchers explain cell response to skin-damaging UV rays
It's well known that overexposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause major skin problems, ranging from skin cancer to sunburns and premature wrinkles. A tan, for example, is nature's own UV protection and an unhealthy sign that your skin is damaged. view more (2007-10-02)
Chemotherapy causes delayed severe neural damage
Cancer treatment with chemotherapeutic agents is often associated with delayed adverse neurological consequences - an occurrence often referred to as "chemobrain" - that may compromise the quality of life of a proportion of cancer survivors. view more (2008-04-22)
New drug could reduce tissue damage after heart attack
A study led by UCL (University College London) scientists has designed a new drug that inhibits the adverse effects of C reactive protein (CRP), a protein that contributes to tissue damage in heart attacks and strokes. view more (2006-04-27)
MRI detects early heart damage in patients with sarcoidosis
To detect heart damage early in patients with the immune system disorder sarcoidosis, who are at elevated risk of dieing from heart problems, magnetic resonance imaging is twice as sensitive as conventional methods. view more (2006-11-13)
Carefully Mixed Radiation Cocktail Reduces Collateral Damage In Breast Cancer Patients
A carefully determined mixture of electron and x-ray beams precisely treated breast tumors while significantly reducing collateral skin damage in 78 patients. view more (2006-07-31)
Bad mitochondria may actually be good for you
Mice with a defective mitochondrial protein called MCLK1 produce elevated amounts of reactive oxygen when young; that should spell disaster, yet according to a study in this week's JBC these mice actually age at a slower rate and live longer than normal mice. view more (2009-07-23)
Lead exposure leads to brain cell loss and damage years later
Eighteen years later, people who worked with lead have significant loss of brain cells and damage to brain tissue. view more (2006-05-23)
Matrix fragments trigger fatal excitement
Shredded extracellular matrix (ECM) is toxic to neurons. Chen et al. reveal a new mechanism for how ECM demolition causes brain damage. The study will appear in the December 29, 2008 issue of The Journal of Cell Biology (www.jcb.org). view more (2008-12-30)
Tiny particles may pose threat to liver cells, say scientists
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are to study the effects of nanoparticles on the liver. In a UK first, the scientists will assess whether nanoparticles -already found in pollution from traffic exhaust, but also used in making household goods such as paint, sunblock, food, cosmetics and clothes- can cause damage to the cells of the liver. view more (2006-04-05)
Steroids reduce heart damage risk in children with Kawasaki's disease
When added to standard treatment, steroids significantly reduce the odds of developing heart damage in children with Kawasaki's disease, according to a study in the October issue of Pediatrics. view more (2005-10-04)
Cash boost for research into leukaemia
Scientists from the University of Sussex in Brighton have been awarded £147,000 by the Leukaemia Research Fund (LRF) to look at abnormalities in DNA damage and repair that occur in some leukaemias and lymphomas. The research team ¾ led by Dr Penny Jeggo at the Genome Damage and Stability Centre ¾ will look at Seckel Syndrome, a rare... view more... (2002-09-11)
Physicists discover Guy Fawkes would have devastated Westminster
Had the gunpowder plot succeeded, Guy Fawkes would not only have destroyed the old palace of Westminster but would have caused chaos and devastation across central London, destroying Westminster Hall, the Abbey and the streets immediately surrounding them with structural damage being caused to buildings as far away as Whitehall. Physicists have... view more... (2003-11-04)
Damage inflicted during cardiac attacks more widespread than previously thought, MSU researchers find
Cholesterol crystals released in the bloodstream during a cardiac attack or stroke can damage artery linings much further away from the site of the attack, leaving survivors at greater risk than previously thought. view more (2008-11-12)
Innovative 3D-imaging technique captures brain damage linked to Alzheimer's disease
Using an advanced three-dimensional mapping technique developed by UCLA researchers, the team analyzed magnetic resonance imaging data from 24 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 25 others with mild Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-10-12)
Antioxidant herbal extract may help prevent and treat reflux oesophagitis
A herbal extract, which contains a powerful antioxidant, may help prevent and treat the extremely common and distressing condition reflux oesophagitis, shows research in Gut. Free radical damage to the lining of the oesophagus or gullet is probably more important than contact with stomach acid in the development of the condition, the study... view more... (2001-08-14)
One hit of crystal meth causes birth defects: U of T study
A single prenatal dose of methamphetamine - commonly known as speed - may be enough to cause long-term neurodevelopmental problems in babies, say University of Toronto researchers. view more (2005-07-27)
Neonatal trials - asking the right questions
Gaining consent from parents on behalf of their children for neonatal trials - where new treatments are tested on new-born, ill babies - is often asked for and given inappropriately, Leeds research has shown. Dr Su Mason from the clinical trials and research unit interviewed 200 parents from nine European countries and found that in two-thirds of... view more... (2004-02-23)
Damage to sperm DNA affects older men's chances of fathering children
Damage to DNA in sperm is significantly higher in older men than in those who are younger, according to research presented today (Tuesday 21 June 2005) at the 21st annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. view more (2005-06-21)
