Pioneering discoveries recognized in field of immune deficiencies in children (so-called bubble children)
Professor Alain Fischer from Paris is being awarded the prestigious M'Īrta Philipson Prize in Children's Medicine from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden for his research on immune deficiencies in children. Many children are particularly susceptible to infections and often contract ear inflammations, for example. Every year a few children are born... view more... (2003-01-27)
Shoots but no droop in longer-lasting plants
Limp lettuce and wilting roses could be a thing of the past, following the identification of a key plant gene by University scientists. The discovery could also improve food shelf life, and help speed up reforestation programmes. Plant scientists Professor Meyer and Dr Elena Zubko have identified the plant gene which produces a specific type of... view more... (2002-04-25)
Genetic Variants Predict Recurrence of Bladder Cancer, Patient Survival
Scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have discovered genetic variations in the inflammation pathway that reduce the likelihood of recurrence and increase survival of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are treated with mainstream therapy. view more (2009-04-21)
UNC study questions FDA genetic-screening guidelines for cancer drug
Not everyone needs a genetic test before taking the cancer drug irinotecan, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration should modify its prescription guidelines to say so, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2007-08-29)
For the first time, UAB researchers have cured mice with diabetes type 1
A team of researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has cured mice with diabetes type 1 for the first time. In the experiment, the diabetic mice completely recovered from the disease after having suffered excesses of glucose in their blood. Although the mice used were transgenic, the researchers are sure that there will... view more... (2002-05-10)
Signal protein shows promise for blocking tumor promoters in skin cells
A protein with the ironic name "Srcasm" can counteract the effects of tumor-promoting molecules in skin cells, according to new research by investigators at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. view more (2006-11-06)
Possible genetic predictor for response to lithium augmentation in depressed patients
As in most fields of medicine, psychiatry researchers are working to identify specific types of patients, through their individual genetic variations, that may better benefit from particular drugs or combinations of drugs than other patients. view more (2007-12-07)
Hebrew University researchers neutralize tumor growth in embryonic stem cell therapy
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have discovered a method to potentially eliminate the tumor-risk factor in utilizing human embryonic stem cells. view more (2009-05-07)
What is the role of interleukin-10 in ischemia-reperfusion injury?
I/R injury of the small intestine is consequently a critical problem that is important. DHP-PMX therapy can remove circulating endotoxins and reduce various cytokines, even in patients with high levels of plasma cytokines. view more (2008-09-26)
Gene therapy shows promise in model of Parkinson's disease
Scientists at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, have conducted novel experiments that might one day lead to gene therapy treatment options for patients with Parkinson's disease. In research published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the research team, led by EPFL... view more... (2004-11-24)
New target for heart failure therapy identified
A novel signaling pathway plays a significant role in the production of aldosterone, a hormone that promotes heart failure after a myocardial infarction, according to a study conducted by Thomas Jefferson University researchers. view more (2009-03-17)
It pays to quit smoking before surgery
People who start nicotine replacement therapy at least four weeks before surgery can halve their risk of poor wound healing. This is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) concludes in information published on informedhealthonline.org today. view more (2009-09-04)
Men experience sexual dysfunction during hepatitis C therapy
Sexual impairment is common among men with chronic hepatitis C undergoing antiviral therapy, according to a new study in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2009-09-01)
New cancer gene discovered
A new cancer gene has been discovered by a research group at the Sahlgrenska Academy. The gene causes an insidious form of glandular cancer usually in the head and neck and in women also in the breast. The discovery could lead to quicker and better diagnosis and more effective treatment. view more (2009-10-14)
Gene therapy eradicates pancreatic cancer in preclinical trial
A molecularly engineered therapy selectively embeds a gene in pancreatic cancer that shrinks or eradicates tumors, inhibits metastasis, and prolongs survival with virtually no toxicity. view more (2007-07-10)
Isolation of a new gene family essential for early development
Researchers at BRIC, University of Copenhagen, have identified a new gene family (UTX-JMJD3) essential for embryonic development. The family controls the expression of genes crucial for stem cell maintenance and differentiation, and the results may contribute sig-nificantly to the understanding of the development of cancer. view more (2007-08-23)
Psychotherapy can help suicidal patients
Deliberate self poisoning is one of the commonest reasons for admission to hospital in the United Kingdom, but there are no effective treatments available. However, a study in this week's BMJ finds that psychotherapy may be a valuable treatment for these patients. This finding could be a first step towards improving the management of suicidal... view more... (2001-07-18)
No link between short-term testosterone use and prostate cancer, study says
Testosterone therapy does not cause adverse effects on the prostate in older men with hypogonadism, commonly known as low testosterone or low T, according to a clinical trial presented today at a national urology meeting in Atlanta. view more (2006-05-22)
Researchers have discovered a gene that can block the spread of HIV
A team of researchers at the University of Alberta, including a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, have discovered a gene that is able to block HIV, and thought to in turn prevent the onset of AIDS. view more (2008-02-29)
Novel gene therapy may lead to cure in hemophilia A patients
A discovery by Medical College of Wisconsin and BloodCenter of Wisconsin researchers in Milwaukee may be a key to a permanent genetic cure for hemophilia A patients, including a subset who do not respond to conventional blood transfusions. view more (2006-07-05)
