Investigators uncover intriguing clues to why persistent acid reflux sometimes turns into cancer
New research from scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center and the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center underscores the importance of preventing recurring acid reflux while also uncovering tantalizing clues on how typical acid reflux can turn potentially cancerous. view more (2007-08-10)
New target for cancer therapy identified
A new target for cancer therapy has been identified by Monash University scientists investigating the cell signalling pathways that turn on a gene involved in cancer development. view more (2006-09-22)
Cancer Research Could Lead To Improved Detection Methods
Research into the development of cancer at the University of Liverpool could lead to earlier and improved detection methods for the disease. view more (2005-04-14)
Can you hear me now? Scientists find previously unknown receptors on adult stem cells
For many years, researchers believed that stem cells in the bone marrow spent most of their existence in a slumber-like state, unaware of — and unaffected by — the daily battles fought by the body's immune system. view more (2006-06-21)
'First Aid' for Brain Cells Comes From Blood
In acute ischemic stroke, the blood supply to the brain is restricted. Initially, brain cells die from lack of oxygen. view more (2009-04-17)
Young women who smoke higher risk of breask cancer
esearchers outline in the November issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings their study of postmenopausal women, which supports the hypothesis that women who smoke cigarettes before first full-term pregnancy have a 20 percent increased risk of breast cancer compared with women who began smoking after the birth of their first child or were never smokers. view more (2005-12-01)
New study finds how cells with damaged DNA alert the immune system
Research led by biologists at the University of California, Berkeley, has found that damage to a cell's DNA sets off a chain reaction that leads to the increased expression of a marker recognized by the body's immune system. view more (2005-07-05)
Children's Hospital scientists achieve repair of injured heart muscle in lab tests of stem cells
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have been able to effectively repair damaged heart muscle in an animal model using a novel population of stem cells they discovered that is derived from human skeletal muscle tissue. view more (2008-11-26)
Scientists Discover Role of Enzyme in DNA Repair
Scientists from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), National Cancer Institute (NCI), and Integrative Bioinformatics Inc. have made an important discovery about the role of an enzyme called ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein (ATM) in the body's ability to repair damaged DNA. NIAMS and NCI are part... view more... (2007-06-28)
Researchers find molecule that inhibits regrowth of spinal nerve cells
A molecule that helps the body's motor nerve cells grow along proper paths during embryonic development also plays a major role in inhibiting spinal-cord neurons from regenerating after injury, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2005-07-12)

The European Jeanne Loubaresse-Institut Curie Prize for 2003 will be presented on 30 November 2004 at the Institut Curie by Professor Nicole Le Douarin, Permanent Secretary of the Académie des Sciences. The winner is Patrick Mehlen, CNRS Director of Research at the Léon-Bérard Center in Lyon, who was awarded the 60,000 euro... view more... (2004-12-02)
Stem cell therapy may offer hope for acute lung injury
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have shown that adult stem cells from bone marrow can prevent acute lung injury in a mouse model of the disease. view more (2009-10-29)
New links in the cystic fibrosis chain uncover potential therapeutics
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. Each mutation has number of effects on the cells of the lungs. view more (2007-10-19)
Natural protein stops deadly human brain cancer in mice
Scientists from Johns Hopkins and from the University of Milan have effectively proven that they can inhibit lethal human brain cancers in mice using a protein that selectively induces positive changes in the activity of cells that behave like cancer stem cells. view more (2006-12-08)
Pretreating rogue cancer cells with aspirin cripples their resistance to targeted therapy
For years, we have heard about the health benefits of taking low doses of aspirin - preventing everything from Alzheimer's disease to heart attacks and stroke. view more (2005-12-13)
Researchers use nanoparticles to deliver treatment for brain, spinal cord injuries
Purdue University researchers have developed a method of using nanoparticles to deliver treatments to injured brain and spinal cord cells. view more (2008-10-02)
Stem cells - a cure for fatal muscular dystrophy
The diagnosis 'muscular dystrophy' is usually tantamount to a death sentence for those affected. One in three thousand male babies suffer from this incurable hereditary disease. The progress of the disease can only be slowed down through physiotherapy and medication. Scientists at Bonn University and at Pittsburgh Children's Hospital (USA) have... view more... (2002-07-04)
Study by NTU professors provides important insight into apoptosis or programmed cell death
A study by Nanyang Technological University (NTU)'s Assistant Professor Li Hoi Yeung, Assistant Professor Koh Cheng Gee and their team have made an important contribution to the understanding of the process that cells go through when they die. view more (2009-07-14)
Breakthrough in understanding of hereditary disease of lymphatic vessels
(Helsinki, August 22nd) -- A study from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) Affiliate Center at the University of Helsinki in Finland has shed light on the development of lymphatic vasculature and valves, and may help to develop better treatments for lymphedema. The disease, which results from damaged or absent lymphatic vessels, may... view more... (2004-08-19)
