Scientists explain how 'death receptors' designed to kill our cells may make them stronger
It turns out that from the perspective of cell biology, Nietzsche may have been right after all: that which does not kill us does make us stronger. view more (2009-06-02)
New understanding about mechanism for cell death after stroke leads to possible therapy
Scientists at the Brain Research Centre, a partnership of the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute, have uncovered new information about the mechanism by which brain cells die following a stroke, as well as a possible way to mitigate that damage. view more (2009-11-23)
Getting on 'the GABA receptor shuttle' to treat anxiety disorders
There are increasingly precise molecular insights into ways that stress exposure leads to fear and through which fear extinction resolves these fear states. view more (2009-10-22)
Food peptides activate bitter taste receptors
Researchers from the Monell Center and Tokyo University of Agriculture have used a novel molecular method to identify chemical compounds from common foods that activate human bitter taste receptors. view more (2008-01-23)
Cell's split personality is a major discovery into neurological diseases
Researchers at the Université de Montreal (UdeM) and the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), McGill University have discovered that cells which normally support nerve cell (neuron) survival also play an active and major role in the death of neurons in the eye. view more (2009-05-08)
U of Minnesota researcher discovers the starting point of sun-induced skin cancer
According to a new study from the University of Minnesota, the earliest event in the development of sun-induced skin cancer may have been identified. view more (2008-05-15)
Oestrogen may be associated with virus (HPV) infection implicated in cervical cancer
The female hormone oestrogen may have a role in HPV viral infection, strains of which are implicated in cervical cancer, shows research in Sexually Transmitted Infections. view more (2002-06-17)
UCLA researchers discover how drug binds to neurons to stop drunken symptoms of alcohol
UCLA researchers discovered how an experimental drug, called Ro15-4513, binds to specific receptors on brain neurons, which helps explain how this drug stops the drunken behavioral symptoms of alcohol such as impaired motor coordination, memory loss and drowsiness. view more (2006-05-09)
Inflammation may cause preterm labor and fetal deaths
Inflammation from bacterial infections is linked to preterm births and deaths, according to researchers from Case Western Reserve University's School of Dental Medicine and the Case School of Medicine. view more (2007-08-09)
Heat halts pain inside the body
The old wives' tale that heat relieves abdominal pain, such as colic or menstrual pain, has been scientifically proven by a UCL (University College London) scientist. view more (2006-07-06)
A case of false positive octreoscan in Crohn's disease
Neuroendocrine tumors, such as carcinoid tumors, overexpress somatostatin receptors in their membranes. Octreotide is an analogue whose molecule is a shortened version of somatostatin's with a high affinity for these receptors. view more (2008-09-22)
Human foreskin may have a key role in passing on HIV infection
Human foreskin may have a key role in helping to pass on HIV infection, suggests research in the Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2003-12-18)
UIC researchers show protein routes messages in nerve cells
Nerve cells relay messages at blink-of-the-eye speeds by squirting chemicals called neurotransmitters across tiny gaps called synapses to awaiting message receptors. But lots of different receptors and neurotransmitters work simultaneously. Which goes where to send the proper message? view more (2005-07-14)
European Jeanne Loubaresse - Institut Curie Prize 2003 : Patrick Mehlen wins prize for his discovery of an original concept in apoptosis: dependence receptors
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)
Barrow researchers identify new brain receptor, possible target for Alzheimer's treatment
Barrow Neurological Institute researchers have identified a novel receptor in the brain that is extremely sensitive to beta-amyloid peptide (AB) and may play a key role in early stages of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-07-17)
Stoned sea-squirts
The psychoactive ingredient of the drug cannabis exerts its effects on the human brain by activating proteins known as cannabinoid receptors. Dr. Maurice Elphick of Queen Mary, University of London has uncovered the first evidence that cannabinoid receptors may not be unique to humans and other vertebrates. The genome of the sea- squirt was... view more... (2004-03-31)
Prune juice not necessary: New research should make bowel movements easier
If you hate prune juice and chalky fiber supplements, just sit down and relax. Help is on the way. view more (2009-04-09)
Hitting cell hot spot could help thwart Parkinson's disease
The latest work to 'turn off the taps' in the brain and stop a chemical being released in excess amounts - which can lead to Parkinson's Disease - will be presented at The British Pharmacological Society's Summer Meeting in Edinburgh. view more (2009-07-08)
Carvedilol shown to have unique characteristics among beta blockers
In a new study, researchers report that a class of heart medications called beta-blockers can have a helpful, or harmful, effect on the heart, depending on their molecular activity. view more (2009-11-23)
Research clarifies how brain replenishes memory-making molecules
Memory formation is thought to involve a strengthening of the communication between neurons in the part of the brain known as the hippocampus. view more (2005-12-22)
