A step towards unraveling the genetic pathways of left-right body asymmetry
Researchers at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ci'™ncia (IGC), in Portugal, have taken a major step forward in understanding one of the fundamental questions in the field of developmental biology today: how the organs are placed in their correct positions in the body. In a study published in the 1st October issue of the journal Genes and... view more... (2004-10-12)

New test detects cirrhosis of the liver in an early stage
Ghent researchers have developed a new and easy method of detecting cirrhosis of the liver. This major finding helps predict the evolution of chronic liver disease, allowing physicians to start proper treatment early on. Patients suffering from this serious, progressive disease in its cirrhosis stage have a high chance of developing liver cancer.... view more... (2004-03-08)

Treatment method improves survival for advanced laryngeal cancer, U-M study finds
Chemotherapy and radiation can be effective at treating cancer of the larynx, or voice box, without removing the organ that controls speech and swallowing. But it doesn't work for everyone.   view more (2006-02-01)

Markers of brain cell development may help success of stem cell transplants
Four sugar-coated faces made by stem cells as they differentiate into brain cells during development have been identified by scientists.   view more (2005-09-07)

PNAS study reveals why organs fail following massive trauma
Massive trauma, say from a sabertooth tiger attack, meant immediate death for the primitive human. Modern man is more likely to survive severe injury caused by a car crash, gunshot or fall thanks to high-tech emergency medicine.   view more (2006-10-18)

Neurogenesis in the adult brain: The association with stress and depression
The brain is the key organ in the response to stress. Brain reactions determine what in the world is threatening and might be stressful for us, and regulate the stress responses that can be either adaptive or maladaptive.   view more (2008-07-09)

Major breakthrough in transplantation immunity
Australian scientists have made a discovery that may one day remove the need for a lifetime of toxic immunosuppressive drugs after organ transplants.   view more (2009-04-07)

Oral liquid hydroxyurea promising for long-term use in babies with sickle cell anemia
Treating babies who have sickle cell anemia (SCA) with oral liquid hydroxyurea appears to prevent the onset of long-term complications triggered by this disease, according to results of a preliminary study by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.   view more (2005-06-16)

Genetic parallels found between lung development and lung cancer
For over 100 years, biologists have speculated that cancer growth shares common features with embryonic development.   view more (2006-07-05)

Venous origin of the mammalian lymphatic vasculature
In the October 1 issue of G&D, Dr. Guillermo Oliver (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital) and colleagues present new evidence to resolve a century-old debate over the origin of the mammalian lymphatic vasculature.   view more (2007-10-01)

LIAI scientists make important finding on cytomegalovirus transmission
Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology have shown that cytomegalovirus (CMV) in the salivary glands can be reduced - and in some cases eliminated - through the use of antibodies to enhance the disease-fighting power of the immune system.   view more (2007-05-11)

Protein found to shield pancreatic cancer cells from self-destruction
An overexpressed protein protects human pancreatic cancer cells from being forced to devour themselves, removing one of the body's natural defenses against out-of-control cell growth.   view more (2007-03-20)

Antibody reduces incidence of acute rejection in high-risk kidney transplant patients
Nearly 70 percent of kidney transplant patients get short-term drug therapy initially administered during surgery to help prevent rejection.   view more (2006-11-09)

Thieving whale caught on video gives rare clues about hunting strategy, sound production
For decades scientists have been intrigued by the variety of sounds emitted by sperm whales, partly due to a popular theory that suggests that the sounds might contain information about the animals' size.   view more (2009-05-22)

Molecular basis for neurodegeneration in Ataxia telangiectasia
An upcoming paper from Dr. David Wassarman (University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health) in the May 1 issue of G&D lends new insight into the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration in Ataxia telangiectasia.   view more (2008-04-15)

Cloning Pigs And Drug Discovery Among "hot" Topics Discussed At International Congress Of The Transplantation Society
New developments in the areas of cloning and animal-to-human transplantation, and in drug discovery and transplant tolerance - the acceptance of the graft without the need for drugs - will have the most impact on transplant availability and outcomes, said researchers today who spoke at the International Congress of The Transplantation Society in a... view more...

Contagious canine cancer
The source of a cancer that affects dogs around the world has been traced by scientists and vets at UCL (University College London) to a single wolf or dog, which probably lived in China or Siberia more than 250 years ago.   view more (2006-08-11)

Arterial infusion using gabexate mesilate: Is it effective therapy for severe acute pancreatitis?
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) remains a lethal disease. It is defined as an inflammatory process of the pancreas with possible peripancreatic tissue and multi-organ involvement inducing multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) with an increased mortality rate.   view more (2008-12-29)
