Damage to brain vessels increases the chance of dementia and depression
Dutch researcher Niels Prins has discovered that elderly people with a lot of damage to the small blood vessels in the brain have a greater chance of developing dementia or depression. The damage is visible on MRI scans as white matter lesions and infarcts of the brain. Elderly people with serious white matter abnormalities and infarcts were found... view more... (2004-04-13)
New dating technique with sand grains
In a Technology Foundation STW project at the University of Groningen, researchers have successfully determined how long ago a number of sand grains were last exposed to sunlight. The dating method is useful for mapping the transport of sand along the coast. Forensic science may also benefit from this technique. Sand that is deposited along the... view more... (2002-11-15)
Smokers with common autoimmune disorder at higher risk for skin damage
As if there weren't enough reasons to stop smoking, a team of researchers at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) have just found another. view more (2009-11-03)
Vitamin D protects cells from stress that can lead to cancer
By inducing a specific gene to increase expression of a key enzyme, vitamin D protects healthy prostate cells from the damage and injuries that can lead to cancer, University of Rochester Medical Center researchers report. view more (2008-05-14)
DNA repair mechanisms relocate in response to stress
Like doctors making house calls, some DNA repair enzymes can relocate to the part of the cell that needs their help, a collaborative team of scientists at Emory University School of Medicine has found. view more (2009-03-27)
Harnessing the brain's plasticity key to treating neurological damage
With an aging population susceptible to stroke, Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions, and military personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with serious limb injuries, the need for strategies that treat complex neurological impairments has never been greater. view more (2007-02-16)
QBI scientist looks at why stroke causes vision problems
The research, by QBI neuroscientist Professor Jason Mattingley and colleagues at the University of Melbourne and University College London, has implications for understanding "spatial neglect", a disorder associated with damage to the brain's parietal lobe - an area that plays an important role in integrating sensory information from... view more...

Cancer Gene Radiation Therapy Discovery
Dr Tracy Robson, a lecturer in molecular radiation science at the University's Jordanstown campus, has isolated a novel gene, called DIR-1, which can alter a tumour cell's susceptibility to radiation therapy. view more (1999-09-20)
Study sees transient heart dysfunction in some long-distance runners
A new study using advanced cardiac imaging technology indicates that cardiac abnormalities experienced by some marathon runners following competition are temporary, and do not result in damage to the heart muscle. view more (2009-05-18)
Smoking out the mediators of airway damage caused by pollutants
New insight into how pollution and cigarette smoke damage airways has been provided by Pierangelo Geppetti and colleagues, at the University of Florence, Italy, who studied the effects of such chemicals on guinea pig airways. view more (2008-06-23)
Will global warming increase plant frost damage?
Widespread damage to plants from a sudden freeze that occurred across the Eastern United States from 5 April to 9 April 2007 was made worse because it had been preceded by two weeks of unusual warmth, according to an analysis published in the March 2008 issue of BioScience. view more (2008-03-03)
According to a thesis, diet and hydration of sportspeople improve during competition
The main goal of this research was to determine the composition of the ingestion of a group of volunteer skiers, participants in the XXX Andrés de Regil BBK Trophy Mountain Trek and correlate them with their anthropometric blood parameters, and with the time obtained in the trials. view more (2009-10-26)
Research offers hope of new treatments for liver damage 'plague'
Millions of patients suffering from liver damage (cirrhosis) and failure may benefit from research by the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh that could lead to new life-saving treatments. There is currently no cure for liver cirrhosis and a patient's only hope of survival is to receive a liver transplant. view more (2005-01-05)

Newly discovered molecule promises better treatments for heart attacks, heart surgery
Scientists have discovered a compound that could lead to new treatments for heart attacks as well as methods to protect hearts during open heart surgery and other situations in which blood flow to the heart is interrupted. view more (2008-09-12)
Tiny molecule controls stress-induced heart disease
A tiny snippet of RNA, a chemical cousin of DNA, controls damage to the heart under several types of stress, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2007-03-23)
UGA study suggests that lowering blood pressure following stroke may reduce damage
A new University of Georgia study suggests that commonly prescribed drugs used to lower blood pressure may help reduce brain damage when given within 24 hours of a stroke. view more (2007-04-18)
Erectile dysfunction drugs may trump nitroglycerin for heart protection
Erectile dysfunction drugs may be better than nitroglycerin in protecting the heart from damage before and after a severe heart attack, Virginia Commonwealth University researchers report today. view more (2007-03-05)
What are protective effects of anti-ricin A-chain aptamer?
Ricin, a lectin from the castor bean plant Ricinus communis is considered one of the most potent plant toxins. Ricin poisoning can cause severe tissue damage and inflammation and can result in death. view more (2008-12-29)
