Pittsburgh researchers identify source of multipotent stem cells with broad regenerative potential
In a promising finding for the field of regenerative medicine, stem cell researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a source of adult stem cells found on the walls of blood vessels with the unlimited potential to differentiate into human tissues such as bone, cartilage and muscle. view more (2008-09-22)
UCSF surgeon develops new spinal surgery technique
Called a lateral paramedian transpedicular approach, the technique uses advances in spinal instrumentation and reconstructive strategies to provide a direct approach to the removal of cervical spinal tumors with minimal, or no, neural manipulation. view more (2005-11-07)
Swedish-Chinese research team uncovers the history of the nose
Our ancestors had two nostrils, one front and one back, but no opening on the palate or in the throat. They could smell, but not breathe with their nose. How did our nose evolve? Per Ahlberg, Uppsala university, and Zhu Min, department of Vertebrate Paleontology in Beijing, China, has now found a fossil that explains the history of the nose. view more (2004-11-03)
Discovery offers hope of halting Motor Neurone Disease progression
Scientists have discovered a causal link between the gene for a small protein involved in the formation of blood vessels and the development of some forms of Motor Neurone Disease. view more (2007-10-05)
Mother's prenatal stress predisposes their babies to asthma and allergy
Women who are stressed during pregnancy may pass some of that frazzlement to their fetuses in the form of increased sensitivity to allergen exposure and possibly future asthma risk. view more (2008-05-19)
New study proves that pain is not a symptom of arthritis, pain causes arthritis
Pain is more than a symptom of osteoarthritis, it is an inherent and damaging part of the disease itself, according to a study published today in journal Arthritis and Rheumatism. view more (2008-09-30)
Mayo Clinic clarifies diagnosis for serious blood vessel disease of brain and spinal cord
Mayo Clinic has clarified the methods of diagnosis and optimal management of a rare and little-understood blood vessel disease of the brain and spinal cord that often leads to stroke or death. view more (2007-10-19)
Boosting newborns' immune responses
Newborn babies have immature immune systems, making them highly vulnerable to severe infections and unable to mount an effective immune response to most vaccines, thereby frustrating efforts to protect them. view more (2006-04-25)
Forsyth scientists discover early key to regeneration
Science may be one step closer to understanding how a limb can be grown or a spinal cord can be repaired. Scientists at The Forsyth Institute have discovered that some cells have to die for regeneration to occur. view more (2006-12-13)
Anesthesia choices for C-section lead to similar outcomes for mom, baby
The review found little significant difference with respect to major clinical outcomes - although some women had lower blood counts and shivering after C-section with general anesthesia and some experienced more nausea and vomiting with regional anesthesia. view more (2006-10-19)

July 23, 2009 Circulating osteogenic precursor (COP) cells form bone in vivo. Bone from Blood: Circulating Cells Form Bone Outside the Normal Skeleton, Penn Study Finds
The accepted dogma has been that bone-forming cells, derived from the body's connective tissue, are the only cells able to form the skeleton. view more (2009-07-24)
Systolic and diastolic blood pressures together more useful for predicting cardiovascular risk
Individuals with diastolic blood pressure under 70 mm Hg coupled with an elevated systolic blood pressure may have a greater risk of heart attack and stroke than indicated by the systolic blood pressure values alone, according to a UC Irvine study. view more (2009-02-19)
UI research aims to help patients with spinal cord injury
Richard Shields, Ph.D., University of Iowa professor in the Graduate Program in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science, can foresee a time when it might be possible to cure spinal cord injury (SCI). view more (2006-04-06)
PFOS and PFOA Exposure Associated with Lower Birth Weight and Size
Exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in the womb is statistically associated with lower weight and head circumference at birth, according to an analysis of nearly 300 umbilical cord blood samples led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2007-08-20)
Case Western Reserve researchers discover the key to malaria susceptibility in children
A team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have solved the mystery of why some children are more susceptible to malaria infection and anemia. view more (2009-07-28)
Vitamin A pushes breast cancer to form blood vessel cells
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have discovered that vitamin A, when applied to breast cancer cells, turns on genes that can push stem cells embedded in a tumor to morph into endothelial cells. These cells can then build blood vessels to link up to the body's blood supply, promoting further tumor growth. view more (2008-07-16)
DOES TREATING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SAVE LIVES? (P1305)
Findings of a meta-analysis published in this week's issue of The Lancet emphasise that blood pressure control is important and that on average, all antihypertensive drugs have similar long-term efficacy and safety. One of the most common causes of death in the developed world is cardiovascular disease (heart attacks and strokes). Measures to... view more... (2001-10-17)
UCLA researchers find blood stem cells originate and are nurtured in the placenta
Solving a long-standing biological mystery, UCLA stem cell researchers have discovered that blood stem cells, the cells that later differentiate into all the cells in the blood supply, originate and are nurtured in the placenta. view more (2008-03-06)
Liverpool Placenta Study Could Save Lives
An important new study has been launched by the University of Liverpool and Liverpool Women's Hospital (LWH), to test a new treatment for 'retained placenta'- a condition where the placenta does not come out naturally after childbirth. view more (2005-05-10)
