Killing Cancer Like a Vampire Slayer
Like vampires, cancer tumors require an ample supply of blood to stay alive. Without fresh blood for sustenance, cancer cells shrivel up like raisins and die. view more (2009-09-18)
Long airplane flight does not appear to increase risk of blood clots
Researchers simulating conditions of reduced cabin pressure and reduced oxygen levels, such as may be encountered during an 8-hour airplane flight, found no increase in the activation of the blood clotting system among healthy individuals. view more (2006-05-17)
Engineered Blood Vessels Function like Native Tissue
Blood vessels that have been tissue-engineered from bone marrow adult stem cells may in the future serve as a patient's own source of new blood vessels following a coronary bypass or other procedures that require vessel replacement. view more (2007-07-09)
Improving understanding of cell behaviour in breast cancer
The invasion and spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body, known as metastasis, is a principal cause of death in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. view more (2008-06-19)
MIT nanoparticles may help detect, treat tumors
A new technique devised by MIT engineers may one day help physicians detect cancerous tumors during early stages of growth. view more (2006-05-02)
New technique appears to stop abnormal blood vessel growth
A manmade protein with a tail of amino acids delivered to target cells can dramatically reduce blood vessel growth that obstructs vision or feeds a tumor, researchers have found. view more (2005-06-01)
Link identified between age, cardiovascular disease
Researchers in the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University have discovered a fundamental mechanism that causes aging blood vessels to lose their elasticity - a literal "hardening of the arteries" that is often a prelude to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-11-06)
Scientists from the University of Navarra find 5 genes involved in the metastasis of breast tumours to the lung
The identification of five genes involve in the metastasis of breast tumours to the lung is the principal finding of a scientific team made up of two bodies from the University of Navarra, the Applied Medical Research Centre (CIMA) and the University Hospital of the University of Navarra. view more (2008-06-23)
Preclinical Study Links Gene to Brain Aneurysm Formation
University of Cincinnati (UC) neurovascular researchers have identified a gene that-when suppressed or completely absent-may predispose a person to brain aneurysms. view more (2007-08-08)
New study suggests special cocoa may lead to sustained improvement in blood vessel function
Drinking a specially-made cocoa beverage daily may have the potential to reverse impairments in the functioning of blood vessels, according to a first-of-its-kind study published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology. view more (2007-03-07)
Potential for Adult Stem Cells to Repair Hearts Damaged by Severe Coronary Artery Disease Investigated by Rush Cardiologists
Rush University Medical Center is one of the first medical centers in the country, and currently the only site in Illinois, participating in a novel clinical trial to determine if a subject's own stem cells can treat a form of severe coronary artery disease. view more (2007-02-02)
Women with high or increasing blood pressure are up to three times more likely to develop diabetes
One of the largest studies to investigate the relationship between blood pressure and type 2 diabetes has found that women who have high blood pressure levels are three times more likely to develop diabetes than women with low blood pressure levels. view more (2007-10-10)
Aminoguanidine: An attractive line as a multi-modal avenue to overcome tumor
Aminoguanidine is a compound that exerts multiple biological actions. Aminoguanidine has well described antioxidant properties and is also an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthases, the enzymes that produce nitric oxide. view more (2009-03-09)
MEDIA INVITATION: The first European Vascular Genomics Network conference - Media briefing
CAMBRIDGE - On Monday December 13th at 12:00 noon, at the New Hall College in Cambridge (UK), the European Vascular Genomics Network (EVGN) organizes a media briefing in occasion of "The First European Vascular Genomics Network conference". view more (2004-12-01)
Post brain injury: New nerve cells originate from neural stem cells
Most cells in the human brain are not nerve cells, but supporting cells (glial cells). They serve as a framework for nerve cells and play an important role in the wound reaction that occurs with injuries to the brain. view more (2008-03-12)
Active ingredient in common Chinese herb shown to reduce hypertension
Some 50 million Americans have hypertension, that is, blood pressure measuring above the normal range (less than 120/80 mmHg). If untreated, it can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or kidney disease. Lifestyle changes are the first-stage treatment for the disease, but if they fail, medications are prescribed. view more (2007-01-19)
Enzyme eliminated by cancer cells holds promise for cancer treatment
An enzyme that cancer cells eliminate, apparently so they can keep proliferating, may hold clues to more targeted, effective cancer treatment, scientists say. view more (2007-07-19)
Strengthening the tumor-fighting ability of T cells
When faced with cancer, the immune system dispatches cells, called T cells, to kill the tumor. But these killer cells often fail to completely eliminate the tumor because they're deactivated by a distinct population of T cells known as regulatory T cells. view more (2008-03-25)
Drug compound restores youth to aging arterial cells in elderly hypertensives, Hopkins study shows
A compound called alagebrium, which is very similar to another used in anti-wrinkle creams, may be useful in reducing the deleterious effects of arterial aging in the majority of elderly Americans with systolic hypertension. view more (2005-11-16)
Human stem cells promote healing of diabetic ulcers
Treatment of chronic wounds is a continuing clinical problem and socio-economic burden with diabetic foot ulcers alone costing the NHS £300 million a year. view more (2009-04-21)
