New, comprehensive tumor classification combines molecular biology and classic pathology
Information about the genetic make-up of tumors should, in the long term, help clinicians decide on the most effective course of treatment for patients with cancer. To be most helpful these molecular data must be incorporated into a tumor classification that includes morphological and clinical information. Jules Berman describes his ideas for a... view more...

THE BURDEN OF REPRODUCTIVE-ORGAN DISEASE IN RURAL GAMBIAN WOMEN (p1161)
The culture of silence surrounding reproductive-organ disorders in rural Gambian villages is more likely to be broken by focusing not on the possibility of acquiring HIV infection, as is done in many western cultures, but by educating people on the risk of infertility, conclude authors of a study published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET.... view more...

Can fruit flies help treat stroke and transplant patients?
Reperfusion injury takes place when an animal or an organ is starved of oxygen, then exposed to oxygen again. This occurs in strokes and organ transplants and causes many deaths per year.   view more (2007-12-05)

New antifreeze protein may allow longer storage of transplant organs
A new antifreeze protein discovered in tiny snow fleas by Queen's University researchers may lengthen the shelf life of human organs for transplantation.   view more (2005-10-24)

Disabling a sensory organ prompts female mice to act like male mice
By short-circuiting the sensory organ that detects the chemical cues mice use to attract mates, a team of Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers has prompted female mice to behave like male mice in the throes of courtship.   view more (2007-08-06)

Deep Organ Image MR Scan Development
Oxford Researchers have developed a new, simple, design of accessory MR surface coil which significantly enhances the quality and clarity of deep organ MRI images. A new design of magnetic resonance imaging surface coil has been developed in which the location, size and improved homogeneity of the magnetic field within the, so called, "sweet... view more...

Despite their heft, many dinosaurs had surprisingly tiny genomes
They might be giants, but many dinosaurs apparently had genomes no larger than that of a modern hummingbird.   view more (2007-03-08)

Fate in fly sensory organ precursor cells could explain human immune disorder
Notch signaling helps determine the fate of a number of different cell types in a variety of organisms, including humans. In an article that appears in the current issue of Nature Cell Biology, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine report that a new finding about the Notch signaling pathway in sensory organ precursor cells in the fruit fly... view more...

Kidney transplant survival can be long-term for people with HIV
A Johns Hopkins study finds that HIV-positive kidney transplant recipients could have the same one-year survival rates for themselves and their donor organs as those without HIV, provided certain risk factors for transplant failure are recognized and tightly managed.   view more (2009-01-20)

'Domino' transplant program makes best use of altruistic donated kidneys
A team of Johns Hopkins researchers reporting their early experiences with "domino" kidney donation suggest that wider use of this strategy could effectively double the benefit of the organs from these non-directed, altruistic living donors.   view more (2006-07-28)

Battling Diabetes with Beta Cells
Affecting eight percent of America's population, diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, strokes and heart disease. Thanks to Tel Aviv University researchers, a new cure -- based on advances in cell therapy -- may be within reach.   view more (2008-09-03)

Gene-expression profiling of the effects of liver toxins
Gene-expression data from liver tissue or whole blood can be used to classify histopathologic differences in the effects of hepatotoxins. It is hoped that these findings, published in BioMed Central's open access journal, Genome Biology, will lead to a more precise way of defining the potential hepatotoxicity of new compounds.    view more (2008-06-20)

Transplants - are mice leading the way?
A new protocol for bone marrow transplants, which does not require the destruction of the recipient's immune system before transfer of the new bone marrow, is described by a group of Oxford scientists in the 6th of July issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 1. Furthermore, Luis Gra'§a, Alain... view more... (2004-07-02)

Deaths from rodent virus raise need for tracking system
After the deaths of seven people from a virus transmitted through organ donation in the past two years, authorities are recommending that a tracking system be put in place to monitor patients following transplantation, and until then, physicians should be more vigilant in looking for signs of infection transmitted through transplantation.   view more (2006-05-25)

Machine preservation may promote more organ sharing
Preserving the kidneys of deceased older donors on a pump - as opposed to the conventional method of storing and transporting organs in a cooler - may lower hospital costs, improve initial organ function, and promote greater use and more sharing of organs, according to new research by Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.   view more (2007-05-03)

Rare Domino Transplant Allows Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and UPMC Surgeons to Save Two Lives With One Deceased Donation
Transplant surgeons at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and UPMC have saved two patients with life-threatening liver conditions utilizing a technique known as a domino transplant. It is only the nation's second domino transplant involving a patient with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD).   view more (2006-10-04)

Single gene lets bacteria jump from host to host
All life - plants, animals, people - depends on peaceful coexistence with a swarm of microbial life that performs vital services from helping to convert food to energy to protection from disease.   view more (2009-02-02)

USC researchers identify mechanism that controls activation of stem cells during hair regeneration
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel cyclic signaling in the dermis that coordinates stem cell activity and regulates regeneration in large populations of hairs in animal models.   view more (2008-01-17)

MicroRNA gene that regulates lifespan found by Yale scientists
Genes that control the timing of organ formation during development also control timing of aging and death, and provide evidence of a biological timing mechanism for aging, Yale researchers report in the journal Science.   view more (2005-12-23)

Gratitude is good medicine for organ recipients
After immunosuppressants, the best medicine for organ transplant patients might be gratitude.   view more (2007-08-16)
