The Irony of Harmony: Why positive interactions may sometimes be negative
History abounds with examples of dramatic social change occurring when a disadvantaged group finally stands up and says "Enough!". By recognizing their inequalities, members of disadvantaged groups can mobilize and attempt to bring about change. view more (2009-02-03)
Molecules might identify high-risk acute-leukemia patients
New research suggests that certain small molecules used by cells to control the proteins they make might also help doctors identify adult acute-leukemia patients who are likely to respond poorly to therapy. view more (2008-01-16)
New discovery gives tuberculosis vaccine a shot in the arm
A new article appearing in the March 2009 issue of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology may lead to improvements in the efficacy of the current tuberculosis vaccine. view more (2009-02-27)
Stem cells could reveal secrets of illness in later life
Mums to be have known for some time that what they eat when pregnant affects their unborn child but now scientists believe that the diet of our mothers during pregnancy may even affect our predisposition to illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure in late life. view more (2004-12-24)
Strengthening the tumor-fighting ability of T cells
When faced with cancer, the immune system dispatches cells, called T cells, to kill the tumor. But these killer cells often fail to completely eliminate the tumor because they're deactivated by a distinct population of T cells known as regulatory T cells. view more (2008-03-25)
MDC scientists show how hematopoietic stem cell development is regulated
During cell division, whether hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) will develop into new stem cells (self-renewal) or differentiate into other blood cells depends on a chemical process called DNA methylation. view more (2009-10-07)
PSYCHOTHERAPY IS THE TREATMENT OF CHOICE IN BINGE EATING DISORDER
An eating disorder characterized by binge eating (not followed by vomit or laxative abuse as in bulimia) has been recently characterized.The treatment of binge eating disorder (BED) is still the object of debate. In the present study, the effectiveness of antidepressant drugs (fluoxetine - FLX - 60 mg/day, fluvoxamine - FLV -300 mg/day),... view more... (2001-11-07)
New way to assess risk of heart disease in ethnic groups
A new web-based calculator will better assess the risk of heart disease in British black and minority ethnic groups. These groups are often wrongly assessed. view more (2006-06-08)
Building brains: Mammalian-like neurogenesis in fruit flies
A new way of generating brain cells has been uncovered in Drosophila. The findings, published this week in the online open access journal Neural Development, reveal that this novel mode of neurogenesis is very similar to that seen in mammalian brains, suggesting that key aspects of neural development could be shared by insects and mammals. view more (2008-02-19)
Structure of protective protein in the eye lens revealed
The human eye lens consists of a highly concentrated mix of several proteins. Protective proteins prevent these proteins from aggregating and clumping. view more (2009-08-03)
Potential diagnostic marker indicates effectiveness of anti-angiogenic drugs
If an anti-angiogenic drug is successfully starving a cancer patient's tumor to death, the number of endothelial cells circulating in the individual's bloodstream will decrease, thus providing a potential biomarker for gauging the medication's effectiveness. view more (2006-09-18)
Cancer signatures uncovered
A new systematic analysis of the relationship between the neoplastic and developmental transcriptome provides an outline of trends in cancer gene expression. view more (2008-08-18)
Plague agent helps UT Southwestern researchers find novel signaling system in cells
The bacterium that causes bubonic plague would seem unlikely to help medical scientists, but researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have harnessed it to uncover a new regulatory mechanism that inhibits the immune system. view more (2006-05-26)
Anaemia still common among south Asian and Chinese women in the UK
Lack of awareness of the link between anaemia and diet may partly explain why anaemia remains more common among women of South Asian and Chinese ethnic origin in the United Kingdom than in women of European ethnic origin, suggests a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at the University of Newcastle assessed the prevalence of anaemia in South... view more... (2001-04-18)
A balancing act between the sexes
Recent research at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) reveals new insights into how cells achieve equality between the sexes. view more (2006-03-17)
Patients who suffer from chronic fatigue have poor social support
A study performed in Netherlands provides new insights into the relationship between chronic fatigue syndrome and social environment. Several studies suggested that the surroundings of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients are of importance in the persistence of complaints. Contrary to what was expected, participation in support groups has not... view more... (2004-04-06)
Bad cholesterol inhibits the breakdown of peripheral fat
he so called bad cholesterol (LDL) inhibits the breakdown of fat in cells of peripheral deposits, according to a study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet. The discovery reveals a novel function of LDL as a regulator of fat turnover besides its well-established detrimental effects in promoting atherosclerosis. view more (2008-11-20)
Exercise important in reducing size of abdominal fat cells
Reducing the size of abdominal fat cells - which are a risk factor for diabetes and heart disease - takes more than cutting calories, according to new research from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2006-08-08)
Antibiotics may not be enough to stop recurrent gastric lymphoma caused by Helicobacter pylori
Research led by Dr. Anne Mueller at Stanford University School of Medicine demonstrates that successful eradication of Helicobacter may not prevent future aggressive gastric lymphoma since resting B cells are left behind. view more (2005-08-25)
