Proteins may predict lung transplant rejection
Using the latest in high tech tools, researchers have identified three proteins that were highly predictive of chronic lung rejection up to 20 months before the rejection occurred.   view more (2006-11-03)

Phantoms give a clearer picture of radiation effects
A new generation of realistic models of the human body could give radiation scientists and medical workers a better view of how exposure to radiation affects different internal organs. These so-called "voxel phantoms" offer a new way to reveal the effects of radioactive particles that have been ingested or breathed in or otherwise entered the... view more... (2002-10-18)

Blood vessel cells are instructed to form tube-like structures
How do blood vessel cells understand that they should organise themselves in tubes and not in layers? A research group from Uppsala University shows for the first time that a special type of "instructor" molecule is needed to accomplish this. These findings, published in the scientific journal Blood, might be an important step towards... view more... (2008-08-29)

Cutting calories slightly can reduce aging damage
A lifelong habit of trimming just a few calories from the daily diet can do more than slim the waistline-a new study shows it may help lessen the effects of aging.   view more (2006-05-09)

Study helps explain origins of cardiac fibrosis in patients with heart disease
A report led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) helps explain the origins of cardiac fibrosis, a stiffening of the heart muscle that leads to a variety of cardiac diseases, most notably heart failure.   view more (2007-07-30)

Adult sickle cell drug proves effective in young children
A drug used for the treatment of sickle cell anemia in adults has now been shown to cause significant improvements in very young children with the disorder.   view more (2005-09-20)

New theory on why male, female lemurs same size
When it comes to investigating mysteries, Sherlock Holmes has nothing on Rice University biologist Amy Dunham. In a newly published paper, Dunham offers a new theory for one of primatology's long-standing mysteries: Why are male and female lemurs the same size?   view more (2009-07-15)

Scientists develop a novel strategy to help prevent transplant rejection
A study led by Imperial College London has shown for the first time it is possible to help prevent organ rejection using a novel strategy that redirects the body's immune response instead of suppressing it. Writing in the Journal of Clinical Investigation today, researchers from the University of Cambridge, the University of Edinburgh, Lorantis... view more... (2003-12-03)

Pheromones Identified that Trigger Aggression between Male Mice
A family of proteins commonly found in mouse urine is able to trigger fighting between male mice, a study in the Dec. 6, 2007, issue of Nature has found.   view more (2007-12-06)

Scientists figure out how the immune system and brain communicate to control disease
In a major step in understanding how the nervous system and the immune system interact, scientists at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have identified a new anatomical path through which the brain and the spleen communicate.   view more (2008-07-22)

Stanford study finds transplant patient thrives 2 years after stopping immunosuppressive drugs
Luck smiled on Larry Kowalski when his brother agreed to donate a kidney Kowalski needed to live. He was even luckier that his brother's kidney was such a good match.   view more (2008-01-24)

Findings on bladder-brain link may point to better treatments for problems in sleep, attention
Bladder problems may leave a mark on the brain, by changing patterns of brain activity, possibly contributing to disrupted sleep and problems with attention.   view more (2008-07-30)

New type of rejection blocker protects kidneys after transplant
In an international clinical trial, a new drug that selectively blocks immune responses has proved as effective in preventing acute kidney transplant rejection as cyclosporine, the standard anti-rejection treatment.   view more (2005-08-26)

Adult liver transplant eligibility criteria
The pain is debilitating. The only option: smoking medical marijuana. That's the reality for many hepatitis C patients whose road to health includes a liver transplant.   view more (2008-10-23)

Active hearing process in mosquitoes
A mathematical model has explained some of the remarkable features of mosquito hearing. In particular, the male can hear the faintest beats of the female's wings and yet is not deafened by loud noises.   view more (2009-11-20)

Baylor researchers develop 'bubble' technique for potential treatment of Type I diabetes
Researchers at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and the Baylor Research Institute have developed a novel technique to deliver insulin genes to the pancreas, the organ that produces the body's insulin.   view more (2006-05-22)

Scientists identify novel way to prevent cardiac fibrosis
In a study that points to a new strategy for preventing or possibly reversing fibrosis - the scarring that can lead to organ and tissue damage - researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have determined that a molecule called Epac (Exchange protein activated by cAMP1), plays a key role in integrating the body's pro-... view more...

Switching immunosuppressants reduces cancer risk in kidney
Switching to a newer type of immunosuppressant drug may reduce the high rate of skin cancer after kidney transplantation, according to research being presented at the American Society of Nephrology's 42nd Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in San Diego, CA.   view more (2009-11-02)

Scanning blood flow during operations
EUREKA project E! 2427 PERMON is developing a radiological imaging system that will give medics a clearer view inside the human body by accurately monitoring organ blood flow during operations. This essential information will lead to an increase in techniques such as laser surgery over more invasive methods. Operations will be less costly and less... view more... (2004-06-01)

Jefferson researchers find nanoparticle shows promise in reducing radiation side effects
Using transparent zebrafish embryos, researchers at Jefferson Medical College have shown that a microscopic nanoparticle can help fend off damage to normal tissue from radiation.   view more (2005-11-15)
