Some antipsychotic drugs may be missing their mark
Drugs that treat depression, schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions and that target a particular protein on brain cells might not be triggering the most appropriate response in those cells, new research suggests. view more (2008-01-02)
Proteins that stop a major signaling pathway can also generate new proteins
Duke University Medical Center researchers have recently discovered that a crucial communications pathway in cells not only stops cells from making proteins, it also makes them go. view more (2008-04-25)
Interferons For Treatment Of SARS? (p 293)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that recombinant interferons - synthetic versions of naturally occurring compounds of the immune system - could be a an effective treatment for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Although antivirals are probably essential for the treatment of SARS-CoV infection, the... view more... (2003-07-23)
Vaccine slows progression of skeletal muscle disorder
A potential vaccine for Alzheimer's disease also has been shown in mice to slow the weakening of muscles associated with inclusion body myositis, a disorder that affects the elderly. view more (2009-05-14)
What's the role of beta-catenin in colorectal cancers?
Beta-catenin, a central molecule of the Wnt-signaling pathway was previously known to involve in the tumorigenesis of various gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric cancer and colon cancer. view more (2008-11-03)
UCSD Research May Lead to Targeted Treatment for Asthma Sufferers
The bronchial tubes of a patient with severe asthma can become scarred due to repeated episodes of allergic inflammation in the airways. The scarring results in blocked airways, excessive production of mucus, and shortness of breath. view more (2005-11-29)
Purdue findings reveal possible Alzheimer's link to brain organ
Researchers have discovered that an organ in the brain called the choroid plexus apparently plays a critical role in preventing the accumulation of a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-03-22)
OHSU research reveals possible future target for delaying or stopping Alzheimer's
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University's Neurological Sciences Institute (NSI) have located a possible target for future therapies aimed at delaying or stopping Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-05-02)
Heart failure treated 'in the brain'
Beta-blockers heal the heart via the brain when administered during heart failure, according to a new study by UCL (University College London). view more (2008-03-26)
Scientists develop new treatments for Alzheimer's disease
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have created a new chemical compound that could be developed into a drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-27)
More insight into Alzheimer's disease with Stanford discovery of possible cause
A peacekeeper in the body's defenses against infection may hold the key to understanding-and eventually treating-Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine discovered that when a molecule responsible for dialing down the immune system malfunctions in the brain cells of mice, the rodents develop symptoms of the... view more...

Chemical found in curry may help immune system clear amyloid plaques found in Alzheimer's disease
UCLA/VA researchers found that curcumin - a chemical found in curry and turmeric - may help the immune system clear the brain of amyloid beta, which form the plaques found in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-04)
Rapid changes in key Alzheimer's protein described in humans
For the first time, researchers have described hour-by-hour changes in the amount of amyloid beta, a protein that is believed to play a key role in Alzheimer's disease, in the human brain. view more (2008-08-29)
QBI neuroscientists make Alzheimer's disease advance
Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) neuroscientists at UQ have discovered a new way to reduce neuronal loss in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-06-10)
Procedure cures some diabetic mice, but not in the way previously reported
Researchers attempting to reproduce a controversial 2003 mouse experiment suggestive of a cure for type 1 diabetes have found evidence that the experimental procedure does eliminate diabetic symptoms in a small fraction of the mice exposed to it. view more (2006-03-24)
Test quickly assesses whether Alzheimer's drugs are hitting their target
A test developed by physician-scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may help assess more quickly the ability of Alzheimer's drugs to affect one of the possible underlying causes of Alzheimer's disease in humans, accelerating the development of new treatments. view more (2009-04-10)
HIV-1 protease inhibitor induced oxidative stress in pancreatic B-cells: thymoquinone protection
Researchers at the Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana have discovered that the HIV-1 protease inhibitors (PIs), such as nelfinavir included in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 patients, induce deleterious effects on insulin secretion mediated through the oxidative stress... view more...

Inflammation may trigger Alzheimer's disease, Saint Louis University findings suggest
The anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin could hold promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, says a Saint Louis University doctor and researcher. view more (2009-07-09)
Study suggests use of stem cell transplantation is beneficial treatment of type 1 diabetes
A therapy that includes stem cell transplantation induced extended insulin independence in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. view more (2007-04-11)
Interesting lead in the treatment of Ewing`s sarcoma
Research scientists at INSERM, CNRS and the Institut Curie, in collaboration with physicians, have used a mouse model to demonstrate the efficacy of an innovative therapeutic approach to Ewing`s sarcoma: the combination of human interferon (alpha or beta) and a common anti-tumor agent, ifosfamide. Their results were published in the November 2002... view more... (2002-10-31)
