The narrow line between love and jealousy
A new study carried out at the University of Haifa has found that the hormone oxytocin, the "love hormone", which affects behaviors such as trust, empathy and generosity, also affects opposite behaviors, such as jealousy and gloating. view more (2009-11-12)
New finding suggests prostate biopsy is not always necessary
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered that some elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in men may be caused by a hormone normally occurring in the body, and are not necessarily a predictor of the need for a prostate biopsy. view more (2009-11-09)
Gene's newly explained effect on height may change tumor disorder treatment
A mutation that causes a childhood tumor syndrome also impairs growth hormone secretion, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found. view more (2008-08-12)
Southampton scientists begin fight against growth hormone abuse in sport
Scientists at the University of Southampton have just returned from the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Paris, where they have been collecting blood samples from athletes to help with their work on developing a test for the detection of growth hormone abuse in sport. Growth hormone (GH) is a naturally occurring hormone, which has the effect... view more... (2003-08-29)

An international team of scientists has cracked the problem of pod shatter in brassica crops such as oilseed rape. view more (2009-05-28)
A spicy solution for colon cancer?
In the last few years, that tactic has proved productive for researchers investigating turmeric, a curry spice used for centuries in Indian traditional medicine. view more (2006-09-20)
Preeclampsia, fetal development problems may be linked to low levels of hormone
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ties low levels of a hormone secreted by the uterus and embryos to problems with pregnancy and fetal development. view more (2006-09-19)
Linchpin gene may be useful target for new breast cancer therapies
University of Iowa researchers have discovered a gene that plays a linchpin role in the ability of breast cancer cells to respond to estrogen. The finding may lead to improved therapies for hormone-responsive breast cancers and may explain differences in the effectiveness of current treatments. view more (2007-09-17)
Einstein researchers discover gene mutations linked to longer lifespans
Mutations in genes governing an important cell-signaling pathway influence human longevity, scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have found. view more (2008-03-05)
Women suffer less stress than men thanks to their hormones, according to study
Women seem to be less susceptible than men to stress and serious stress-related illnesses because of the protective properties of the sex hormone oestrogen, according to a recent study of nurses by the University of Greenwich. The study indicates that oestrogen reduces the production of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline which, when... view more... (2002-10-15)
Remote control for human growth hormone gene expression
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine recently discovered a novel mechanism that works over an extensive genomic distance and controls the expression of human growth hormone (hGH) in the pituitary gland. view more (2006-08-14)
Many oncologists unaware of cancer clot risk
Patients receiving cancer treatments are at greater risk of blood clots, yet more than a quarter of oncologists do not recognise their clotting effects and preventive measures are rarely used, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-09-10)
Short-term hormone therapy and intermediate dose radiation increases survivial for early stage prostate cancer
Short-term hormone therapy given prior to and during intermediate dose radiation treatment for men with early stage prostate cancer increases their chance of living longer, compared to those who receive the same radiation alone. view more (2009-11-03)
Researchers discover protein that controls bone growth
A research team led by Dr. Pierre Moffatt of the Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal and McGill University's Department of Human Genetics has uncovered the molecular mechanism by which the protein osteocrin controls bone growth - a discovery that may have important implications for people suffering from bone diseases affecting skeletal... view more...

New molecular regulators of hyperthyroidism and goiter
The thyroid gland has an important role in determining how much energy the body burns. Thyroid gland functions are regulated by a hormone known as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). view more (2007-08-10)
Hormone may hold key to helping elderly men live longer
Elderly men with higher activity of the hormone IGF-1-or insulin-growth factor 1-appear to have greater life expectancy and reduced cardiovascular risk, according to a new study accepted for publication in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-05-27)
Lack of happiness hormone serotonin in the brain causes impaired maternal behavior in mice
A lack of serotonin, commonly known as the "happiness hormone", in the brain slows the growth of mice after birth and is responsible for impaired maternal behavior later in life. view more (2009-06-24)

Breast Cancer Drug Shows Promise for Treating, Preventing Progestin-Dependent Tumors
Recent studies suggest that human breast cancer risk is increased by outside exposure to the hormone progestin, such as during hormone replacement therapy. Now, a University of Missouri study suggests that PRIMA-1, a small molecule drug that targets the most common mutated gene, p53, in human cancer cells, has potential as a novel chemotherapeutic... view more...

Possible new hope for crops battling parasitic infection
Scientists from Ghent University and VIB (The Flemisch Institute for Biotechnology) have demonstrated how nematodes, also known as roundworms, manipulate the transport of the plant hormone auxin in order to force the plant to produce food for them. view more (2009-01-16)
