Evidence now suggests eating soy foods in puberty protects against breast cancer
Evidence is growing from animal and human studies that genistein, a potent chemical found in soy, protects against development of breast cancer - but only if consumed during puberty.   view more (2008-04-09)

Effects of aging in stem cells
There is little disagreement that the body's maintenance and repair systems deteriorate with age, even as there is plenty of disagreement as to why.   view more (2007-07-24)

Toxins in cigarette smoke prevent stem cells from becoming cartilage
A toxic pollutant spread by oil spills, forest fires and car exhaust is also present in cigarette smoke, and may represent a second way in which smoking delays bone healing, according to research presented today at the annual meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society in San Francisco.   view more (2008-03-04)

IU School of Medicine scientists testing stem cells for peripheral artery disease
Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have begun a unique clinical trial using stem cell injections as a treatment that could offer hope to tens of thousands of people who face sores, ulcers and even amputations due to severe peripheral artery disease.   view more (2006-02-10)

Are bone marrow mononuclear cells effective in reducing hepatic lesions?
Liver fibrosis occurs in the setting of chronic injury caused by different etiologies constituting a serious worldwide public health problem. In addition to schistosomiasis, hepatopathies due to alcohol, viral hepatitis, drugs, metabolic and autoimmune diseases, and congenital abnormalities are... view more (2008-10-24)

Understanding Infertility - The Role of Genes in the Control of Reproduction
The problem of infertility is not confined to humans alone. There has been a noticeable decline in the reproductive ability of cattle that have been bred specifically for their high milk yields. Two scientists at Department of Animal Science and the Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical... view more (2003-01-21)

First study transplanting angina patients' purified stem cells shows safety and symptom relief
The first U.S. study to transplant a potent form of purified adult stem cells into the heart muscle of patients with severe angina provided evidence that the procedure is safe and produced a reduction in angina pain as well as improved functioning in patients' daily lives.   view more (2007-06-27)

Life-threatening lupus responds to stem cell transplant therapy
Transplanting patients with blood stem cells that originate from their own bone marrow can induce the remission of life-threatening, treatment-resistant lupus.   view more (2006-02-01)

New understanding of nervous system gives insight into common gut problem in newborn babies
Medical Research Council (MRC) researchers have unlocked the mysteries of the nervous system responsible for proper formation and function of the gut.

Dopamine drug leads to new neurons and recovery of function in rat model of Parkinson's
In preliminary results, researchers have shown that a drug which mimics the effects of the nerve-signaling chemical dopamine causes new neurons to develop in the part of the brain where cells are lost in Parkinson's disease (PD).   view more (2006-07-05)

Summer update: Melanoma research progress suggests optimism for future cures
In a nation of sun-worshipers, melanoma is on the rise. Although doctors warn their patients to slather on sunscreen and seek cover in the shade, messages about sun safety still compete for the public's attention with magazine covers promoting that supposedly "healthy" tan look.   view more (2006-06-20)

OHSU Discovery May Lead to Early Cancer Detection
