Green tea and COX-2 inhibitors combine to slow growth of prostate cancer
Drinking a nice warm cup of green tea has long been touted for its healthful benefits, both real and anecdotal. But now researchers have found that a component of green tea, combined with low doses of a COX-2 inhibitor, could slow the spread of human prostate cancer.   view more (2007-03-01)

New therapeutic targets in the treatment of ulcerative colitis
Social, environmental and dietary changes are associated with the changes of disease spectrum in a country. Ulcerative colitis has become a commonly seen disease in China, probably due to extensive consumption of Western foods in recent years.   view more (2007-11-14)

Johns Hopkins researchers find link between cell's energy use and genome health
While studying how a cell keeps its genetic material intact, scientists at Johns Hopkins got busy alternately knocking out two catalysts vital to managing a yeast cell's energy.   view more (2006-07-24)

New hope for advances in treating malaria
Researchers at the University of Leeds have developed chemicals which kill the most deadly malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium falciparum -- including those resistant to existing drugs.    view more (2009-04-22)

Novel drug preventing protein recycling shows potential for treating leukemia
Researchers from the Children's Cancer Hospital at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found that a novel targeted therapy effectively treats acute leukemia in animal models by preventing cancer cells from being purged of damaged proteins.   view more (2007-04-20)

'Polypill' improves survival rates for heart disease sufferers, says University study
A 'polypill' made up of a combination of drugs could extend the lives of thousands of patients with coronary heart disease, say researchers at The University of Nottingham.   view more (2005-05-09)

Farmers Could Be Predisposed To Adverse Health Effects Of Sheep Dip (p 763)
A research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that some farmers may have a genetic predisposition to the adverse health effects associated with exposure to organophosphates present in sheep dip. Exposure to organophosphates has acute effects on health, but evidence of chronic effects is unclear. An enzyme found in blood... view more... (2002-02-28)

Similar outcomes for patients with ACS treated with different anticoagulant regimens
Patients with acute coronary syndromes such as unstable angina who were undergoing an invasive treatment and received one of three anticoagulant regimens did not have significant differences in the rates of ischemia or death after one year.   view more (2007-12-05)

Finding that 1-in-a-billion that could lead to disease
Errors in the genetic code can give rise to cancer and a host of other diseases, but finding these errors can be more difficult than looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack.   view more (2007-08-20)

In preeclampsia, researchers identify proteins that cause blood vessel damage
Proteins released by the placenta may damage blood vessels in women with preeclampsia (PE), according to an abstract presented by Yale School of Medicine researchers at the Society for Gynecologic Investigation Conference March 17 in Reno, Nevada.   view more (2007-03-19)

Blood-clotting protein modified for people with hard-to-treat hemophilia
Pathologists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston have developed a chemically modified protein that may help people with a hard-to-treat form of a genetic bleeding disorder known as Hemophilia A.   view more (2008-05-20)

Reactive oxygen species shown essential for development of inner ear's balance machinery
