Cardiac stent patients with diabetes may benefit from drug that counteracts the effects of leptin
The naturally high levels of leptin in diabetic patients may reduce the effectiveness of drug-eluting stents used to treat heart blockages, but using a chemical that differs from the one commonly used to coat stents could counteract this effect. view more (2008-12-18)
Diet a major factor in breast cancer - time for government action
Hamburg, Germany: The rapid increase in the knowledge of breast cancer determinants and the continuing increase in incidence of breast cancer means that it is time to move from knowledge to action, a scientist said today (Friday 19 March) at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference. Dr. Franco Berrino, head of preventive and predictive medicine... view more... (2004-03-17)
LSUHSC research may benefit diabetes by increasing understanding of how to control islet cell growth
Michael Lan, PhD, Professor of Pediatrics and Genetics at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, is the senior author of a paper revealing the molecular mechanism of how a protein determines the fate of the cells that make and release insulin. view more (2009-02-18)

A Landmark In The Understanding Of Thyroid Disease (pp 92, 126)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET report the discovery of the first human monoclonal thyroid stimulating autoantibody which could be an important step forward in understanding the underlying cause of a common thyroid disease. In Graves' disease (a disorder characterised by the production of autoantibodies),... view more... (2003-07-09)
Anti-tumor effects are enhanced by inhibiting 2 pathways rather than 1
Two independent research groups have found that simultaneous inhibition of two signaling pathways resulted in substantially enhanced antitumor effects in mouse models of prostate and breast cancer. In an accompany commentary, Steven Grant, at Virginia Commonwealth University Health Science Center, Richmond, discusses the clinical importance of... view more... (2008-08-22)
Study shows hormone replacement therapy decreases mortality in younger postmenopausal woman
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat menopausal estrogen deficiency has been in widespread use for over 60 years. Several observational studies over the years showed that HRT use by younger postmenopausal women was associated with a significant reduction in total mortality; available evidence supported the routine use of HRT to increase... view more...

Fruit fly protein acts as decoy to capture tumor growth factors, find Penn researchers
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have shown how Argos, a fruit fly protein, acts as a ¡¥decoy' receptor, binding growth factors that promote the progression of cancer. view more (2008-05-29)
Scientists identify cause of life threatening pregnancy complication
New work shows how the developing placenta may cause the potentially fatal condition pre-eclampsia to develop through attempts to take over the mother's metabolism for the survival of the foetus. Pre-eclampsia can strike up to 10% (around 75,000) of pregnancies each year. This condition strikes in the second half of pregnancy, developing rapidly... view more... (2003-10-31)
