Brain's reward circuit activity ebbs and flows with a woman's hormonal cycle
Fluctuations in sex hormone levels during women's menstrual cycles affect the responsiveness of their brains' reward circuitry, an imaging study at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has revealed. view more (2007-02-05)
UAB research could boost coastal economics with crustacean molting on demand
University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers are close to unraveling intricate cellular pathways that control molting in blue crabs. The discoveries could revolutionize the soft-shell crab industry, generating new jobs and additional profits for the U.S. fishing industry along the coastal Southeast. view more (2009-10-28)
Breast cancer and hormone therapy -- A looking-glass mirror?
The medical community has been debating for many years whether, and to what extent, postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) use is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer, says Professor Amos Pines, President of the International Menopause Society. view more (2007-07-25)
Nicotine may have more profound impact than previously thought
Nicotine isn't just addictive. It may also interfere with dozens of cellular interactions in the body, new Brown University research suggests. view more (2009-04-06)
Biosensor sniffs out explosives
Temple University School of Medicine researchers have developed a new biosensor that sniffs out explosives and could one day be used to detect landmines and deadly agents, such as sarin gas, according to a paper in the June issue of Nature Chemical Biology. view more (2007-05-09)
Cell-death receptor links cancer susceptibility and inflammation
For over 10 years, Wafik S. El-Deiry, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine, Genetics, and Pharmacology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, has been pursuing a cancer-targeting molecule called TRAIL and its molecular partners. view more (2007-12-28)
IL-21 receptor plays an essential role in the Th2 immune response
During the immune response cells known as Th2 cells express a variety of cytokines (e.g. interleukin-4, -5, and -13), many of which stimulate B cells to proliferate and produce antibodies. view more (2006-06-16)
UAB Researchers Discover Antibody Receptor Identity, Propose Renaming Immune-System Gene
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have uncovered the genetic identity of a cellular receptor for the immune system's first-response antibody, a discovery that sheds new light on infection control and immune disorders. view more (2009-11-20)
Study connects obesity with nervous system
A discovery by Queen's biologists and their students sheds new light on the genetic roots of obesity - a condition that is increasing dramatically in North America and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. view more (2008-01-24)
Hormone-replacement therapy hurts hearing, study finds
The largest study ever to analyze the hearing of women on hormone-replacement therapy has found that women who take the most common form of HRT have a hearing loss of 10 to 30 percent more compared to similar women who have not had the therapy. view more (2006-09-06)
Benefits of testosterone treatment unknown, research shows
Little research exists demonstrating that testosterone is both safe from the cardiovascular standpoint and effective to treat sexual dysfunction, reveal Mayo Clinic researchers in two new studies. view more (2007-01-10)
Why don't brain tumors respond to medication?
Malignant brain tumors often fail to respond to promising new medication. Researchers in Heidelberg have discovered a mechanism and a tumor marker for the development of this resistance. view more (2009-09-01)
Plastics in common household items may cause fertility defects
The contaminant bisphenol-A (BPA)—widely used to make many plastics found in food storage containers and dental products—can have long-term effects in female development, according to a recent study by Yale School of Medicine researchers. view more (2007-02-15)
Lab study shows THC exposure as adolescents linked to negative effects of THC as adults
In earlier studies, researchers at Louisiana State University had found that estrogen -- or more precisely, having ovaries -- made adult rats exposed for the first time to THC, the primary ingredient in marijuana and hashish, less sensitive to THC's negative effects on tests of learning and memory. view more (2009-04-20)
Bisphenol A exposure in pregnant mice permanently changes DNA of offspring
Exposure during pregnancy to the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA, found in many common plastic household items, is known to cause a fertility defect in the mother's offspring in animal studies, and now researchers have found how the defect occurs. view more (2009-06-11)
Balancing hormones may help prevent preterm births
The relationship between two different types of estrogen and a hormone produced in the placenta may serve as the mechanism for signaling labor, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-04-01)
Contraceptive use may be safe, but information gaps remain
Introduced in the 1960s, oral contraceptives have been used by about 80 percent of women in the United States at some point in their lives. view more (2009-01-14)
Study reveals a reprogrammed role for the androgen receptor
The androgen receptor - a protein ignition switch for prostate cancer cell growth and division - is a master of adaptability. view more (2009-07-28)
Reduced breast cancer risk: Physical activity after menopause pays off
Several studies had previously suggested that regular physical exercise reduces the breast cancer risk of women. However, it had been unknowned just how much exercise women should take in which period in life in order to benefit from this protective effect. Moreover, little was known about which particular type of breast cancer is influenced by... view more... (2009-01-16)
Variation in bitter-taste receptor gene increases risk for alcoholism
A team of researchers, led by investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has found that a gene variant for a bitter-taste receptor on the tongue is associated with an increased risk for alcohol dependence. view more (2006-01-10)
