Bone marrow cell transplants help nerve regeneration
A study carried out by researchers at the Kyoto University School of Medicine and published in the current issue of CELL TRANSPLANTATION (Vol.16 No. 8) has shown that when transplanted bone marrow cells (BMCs) containing adult stem cells are protected by a 15mm silicon tube and nourished with... view more (2007-12-05)

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)

'Statins' linked to improved survival in kidney transplant recipients
For patients receiving kidney transplants, treatment with cholesterol-lowering "statin" drugs may lead to longer survival, reports a study in the November 2008 Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).   view more (2008-07-24)

Financial risk-taking behavior is associated with higher testosterone levels
Higher levels of testosterone are correlated with financial risk-taking behavior, according to a new study in which men's testosterone levels were assessed before participation in an investment game. The findings help to shed light on the evolutionary function and biological origins of risk taking.   view more (2008-09-30)

U of M begins nation's first clinical trial using T-reg cells from cord blood in leukemia treatment
University of Minnesota researchers have initiated a ground breaking clinical trial to determine the optimal dose and safety of T regulatory cells (T-regs) to decrease the risk of immune reactions common in patients undergoing blood and marrow transplantation.   view more (2007-09-06)

Aggressive stem cells might improve transplant outcome
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have demonstrated in mice a way that might reduce the time it takes for a bone marrow transplant to rebuild a child's immune system, and so reduce the risk of potentially fatal virus infections that can occur during this time.   view more (2006-12-08)

Gene-on-gene interactions may influence risk for developing alcoholism
Not only do both genes and environment have an impact on the development of alcohol-use disorders, but now researchers have found that certain genes may influence scientists' ability to interpret other genes' effects. One variant of the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene - the ADH1B genotype -... view more (2006-08-28)

DFG To Establish Seven New Clinical Research Units
Strengthening research oriented structures at university clinics The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation - DFG) approved the establishment of seven new Clinical Research Units at a session of the relevant Grants Committee held on 5 December 2003. Twelve Clinical Research... view more (2003-12-11)

INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF THE TRANSPLANTATION SOCIETY SCHEDULE OF PRESS BRIEFINGS AND MEDIA AVAILABILITIES, AUG. 25 - 30 MIAMI, Aug. 19 - The XIX International Congress of The Transplantation Society will be held Aug. 25-30 at the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa in Hollywood, Fla., located on the... view more (2002-08-19)

Master regulatory gene found that guides fate of blood-producing stem cells
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that a protein called NF-Ya activates several genes known to regulate the development of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), or blood-producing stem cells, in bone marrow.   view more (2005-08-02)

Test predicts risk of liver scarring after transplant, study shows
An estimated 20 percent of people with chronic hepatitis C who receive a liver transplant will develop advanced cirrhosis, scarring of the new organ severe enough to impair its ability to function normally within five years of transplantation.   view more (2005-10-06)

Birth defect gene identified
Birth defects of the face and skull are relatively common in humans, striking one in 500 to 1,000 babies. Defects can include cleft lip or palate, congenitally missing teeth and severe malformations of the skull.   view more (2005-12-23)

Defect in gene causes 'neuralgic amyotrophy'
Neuralgic Amyotrophy is a painful disorder of the peripheral nervous system. This heritable disease causes prolonged acute attacks of pain in the shoulder or arm, followed by temporary paralysis.   view more (2005-09-26)

Cholesterol could be key to treating fetal alcohol syndrome
Small amounts of alcohol can interfere with the growth of a fetus, but added cholesterol may help prevent a wide array of neurological and physical defects from alcohol exposure, according to a new study in laboratory fish.   view more (2007-03-09)

Human beta-cell line offers hope for type 1 diabetes breakthrough
Transplantation of insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells shows great promise as a treatment for type 1 diabetes, but development of this therapy has been hampered by a severe shortage of donor beta-cells, which are obtained from decreased human donors.   view more (2005-09-27)

I can see clearly now your face is familiar
As we get to know people better, we find it easier and easier to recognise their faces, even from really poor quality images and photographs. Professor Vicki Bruce of Stirling University will discuss the processes involved as faces become more familiar in her invited lecture given today, Monday 2... view more (2001-06-22)

Fear circuit flares as bipolar youth misread faces
Youth with bipolar disorder misread facial expressions as hostile and show heightened neural reactions when they focus on emotional aspects of neutral faces, researchers at the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) have discovered.   view more (2006-05-30)

Scientists use stem cells to grow cartilage
Scientists from Imperial College London have successfully converted human embryonic stem cells into cartilage cells, offering encouragement that replacement cartilage could one day be grown for transplantation.   view more (2005-11-17)

Primary graft dysfunction is risk factor for a later serious lung transplant problem
Primary graft dysfunction, a common complication that affects up to 25 percent of lung transplant patients shortly after surgery, constitutes a significant risk factor for later deadly bronchiolotis obliterans syndrome (BOS).   view more (2007-03-01)

Men and women may need different heart transplant assessment criteria
Peak oxygen consumption during an exercise test is one of the key criteria used to determine when a heart failure patient may need a heart transplant, but the standard values currently used may not accurately predict outcomes for female patients.   view more (2006-06-05)

Research shows cord blood comparable to matched bone marrow
University of Minnesota researchers report that umbilical cord blood transplants may offer blood cancer patients better outcomes than bone marrow transplants, according to an analysis of outcome data performed at the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR), Medical... view more (2007-06-08)

Oh, what a feeling!
People who have lost the ability to interpret emotion after a severe brain injury can regain this vital social skill by being re-educated to read body language, facial expressions and voice tone in others, according to a new study.   view more (2008-11-21)
