Penn study points to new direction for pancreas cell regeneration
Replacing faulty or missing cells with new insulin-making cells has been the object of diabetes research for the last decade. Past studies in tissue culture have suggested that one type of pancreas cell could be coaxed to transform into insulin-producing islet cells. view more (2007-04-04)
U-M researchers dispute widely held ideas about stem cells
How do adult stem cells protect themselves from accumulating genetic mutations that can lead to cancer? view more (2007-08-30)
Liver CRP production linked to atherosclerosis
New research shows that levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), produced by the liver and not at the lesion site, correlate with the degree of atherosclerosis. view more (2005-09-29)
New test could help catch serious infections in babies
A simple blood test may help detect serious bacterial infections (SBIs) like urinary tract infections and blood stream infections in young infants who come to the emergency department (ED) with fevers that have no clear cause. view more (2008-10-06)
Shrinkage of prostate led to overestimation of cancer risk in trial
Reanalysis of data from the first long-term randomized trial of a chemopreventive agent for prostate cancer shows that the excess prevalence of high-grade prostate cancer in the drug-treated group may be attributable to shrinkage of the prostate at the time of biopsy. view more (2007-09-13)
Genome communication
In the late 19th century Gregor Mendel used peas to show that one copy of a gene (allele) is inherited from the mother and one from the father. view more (2008-06-30)
To evade chemotherapy, some cancer cells mimic stem cells
Anti-cancer treatments often effectively shrink the size of tumors, but some might have an opposite effect, actually expanding the small population of cancer stem cells believed to drive the disease, according to findings presented today in Atlanta, Georgia at the American Association for Cancer Research's second International Conference on... view more...

Gene changes linked to deficient immune suppression in MS
Oregon Health & Science University researchers have measured genetic changes reflecting a drop in the body's ability to suppress inflammatory cells that attack nerve fibers and promote progression of multiple sclerosis. view more (2005-06-27)
A potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common malignancy and the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death in the world. view more (2009-04-17)
Jefferson Scientists Find Protein May Play a Key Role in Development of Deadly Form of Pancreatic Cancer
A tumor-blocking protein previously implicated in prostate and breast cancer development may also be behind the most aggressive type of pancreatic cancer. Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have discovered that the protein, pp32 - which normally applies the brakes on a cancer-causing gene - is missing in an... view more...

Scientists lift malaria's cloak of invisibility
The world's deadliest malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, sneaks past the human immune system with the help of a wardrobe of invisibility cloaks. view more (2005-12-29)
Fatty Liver a Possible Risk for Hypertension
The accumulation of fat in the liver, or "fatty liver," resulting from accumulation of central body fat, and perhaps not alcohol consumption, may represent an important underlying mechanism for the association between liver enzymes and hypertension. view more (2005-11-03)
Patient outcomes linked to biomarker levels by quantitative technology
Researchers in the Department of Pathology at Yale University School of Medicine report that when using current pathology methods of biomarker detection, the concentration of antibodies used dramatically alters the apparent relationship of biomarker level to clinical outcome. view more (2005-12-21)
Ovarian Cancer Screening Not Catching Early Disease
The new study looked at a screening regimen that combines ultrasound and a blood test for CA-125, a marker for women's cancer. view more (2009-04-02)
Scientists find potential stem cells in amniotic fluid - a new source?
Research by Austrian geneticists has raised the possibility that stem cells[1] could be isolated from amniotic fluid - the protective 'bath water' that surrounds the unborn baby. Geneticist Professor Markus Hengstschl'¤ger and his team at the University of Vienna have isolated a subgroup of cells from amniotic fluid that express a protein called... view more... (2003-06-27)
Urgent need for more research into prevalence of CJD
The first estimate of the number of people who are at increased risk of vCJD, but who have not developed symptoms, is published in this week`s BMJ. Researchers studied specimens from appendicectomies and tonsillectomies carried out between 1995 and 1999. They also examined samples removed at autopsy or during surgery from... view more...

Microscopic 'beads' could help create 'designer' immune cells that ignore transplanted organs
The future of organ transplantation could include microscopic beads that create "designer" immune cells to help patients tolerate their new organ, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-07-07)
Adult offspring of parents with PTSD have lower cortisol levels
A small study suggests that adults whose parents are Holocaust survivors with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appear to have lower average levels of the stress hormone cortisol than the adult offspring of parents without PTSD. view more (2007-09-04)
Research unveils new, reliable approach to drug delivery for cancer patients
Prostate, breast and other cancer patients may be offered a new, stauncher targeted drug delivery system to treat their diseases in the next decade. view more (2005-11-02)
Key stress protein linked to toxicities responsible for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have discovered a mechanistic link between cellular stress caused by free radicals and accumulation of misfolded proteins that lead to nerve cell injury and death in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. view more (2006-05-25)
