University Hospitals Case Medical Center to test gammaglobulin treatment for Alzheimer's disease
Researchers from the Memory and Cognition Center at University Hospitals Case Medical Center will begin testing an intriguing new approach to slowing down the progression of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) using Intravenous Immune Globulin (IGIV), also known as gammaglobulin. view more (2009-09-24)
Enzyme eliminated by cancer cells holds promise for cancer treatment
An enzyme that cancer cells eliminate, apparently so they can keep proliferating, may hold clues to more targeted, effective cancer treatment, scientists say. view more (2007-07-19)
Prenatal Diagnosis Could Aid Treatment Of Beta Thalassaemia (pp 6, 41)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how prenatal testing could identify fetuses with appropriate tissue for treating beta thalassaemia in their older siblings. Prenatal testing could also identify fetuses who will develop beta thalassaemia and who could be treated with bone-marrow transplantation from a family... view more... (2003-07-02)
Genetic differences may help explain response to multiple sclerosis treatment
By comparing the DNA of patients with multiple sclerosis whose symptoms are reduced by interferon beta therapy to the DNA of those who continue to experience relapses, researchers may have identified important genetic differences between the two. view more (2008-01-15)
LIAI scientists make major finding on potential cure for type 1 diabetes
A major finding, which represents an important step toward a potential cure for type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, has been made by a research team at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI). view more (2006-04-21)
New cancer weapon: nuclear nanocapsules
Rice University chemists have found a way to package some of nature's most powerful radioactive particles inside DNA-sized tubes of pure carbon -- a method they hope to use to target tiny tumors and even lone leukemia cells. view more (2007-08-24)
Vaccine triggers immune response, prevents Alzheimer's
A vaccine created by University of Rochester Medical Center scientists prevents the development of Alzheimer's disease-like pathology in mice without causing inflammation or significant side effects. view more (2008-05-20)
New technique to 'see' and protect transplants successful in diabetic animal model
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have found a way to overcome a major stumbling block to developing successful insulin-cell transplants for people with type I diabetes. view more (2007-07-30)
Beta-blockers reduce mortality in patients with COPD after vascular surgery
In the first study to directly examine the effects of beta-blockers on surgical patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), researchers have found that, contrary to previous thought, beta-blockers significantly reduce mortality in COPD patients. view more (2008-10-01)
Tiny molecule controls stress-induced heart disease
A tiny snippet of RNA, a chemical cousin of DNA, controls damage to the heart under several types of stress, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2007-03-23)
Receptor critical in neurodegeneration reduces Alzheimer's plaque
Increasing the level of a protein that plays a key role in traumatic spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis reduces the concentration of disease-causing plaque in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-02-03)
Antioxidants show no clear benefit against cardiovascular events, death in high-risk women
Vitamins C and E and beta carotene, either individually or in combination, do not appear to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events or death among women at high risk for heart disease. view more (2007-08-14)
Researchers discover how a high-fat diet causes type 2 diabetes
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered a molecular link between a high-fat, Western-style diet, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. view more (2005-12-29)
Brightly-coloured fruit and veg may protect against arthritis
Researchers from The University of Manchester's Medical School have discovered that eating more brightly-coloured fruits and vegetables like oranges, carrots and sweetcorn may help reduce the risk of developing inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2005-08-18)
UAB Study Reveals Bone Coupling Factor Key to Skeletal Health
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered a molecular coupling factor that helps bones grow and remodel themselves to stay strong, a finding that could lead to better bone-building therapies and new osteoporosis drugs, the researchers said view more (2009-07-08)
Two cardiovascular proteins pose a double whammy in Alzheimer's
Researchers have found that two proteins which work in tandem in the brain's blood vessels present a double whammy in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-12-22)
Alzheimer's drug based on Purdue-designed inhibitor begins clinical trials
A drug based on the design of a Purdue University researcher to treat Alzheimer's disease began the first phase of human clinical trials this week. view more (2007-06-25)
Targeting oxidized cysteine through diet could reduce inflammation and lower disease risk
A team of scientists at Emory University School of Medicine has identified a direct link between oxidative stress and inflammatory signals in the blood. view more (2009-03-27)
Mortality rate is twice as high in patients with pneumonia caused by highly resistant bacteria
Patients suffering from hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by a type of bacteria that is highly resistant to virtually all antibiotics are twice as likely to die as patients infected with other, less resistant bacteria. view more (2006-08-01)
U of M researchers find new, more effective treatment for toxic shock syndrome
Researchers at the University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new therapeutic that neutralizes Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) more effectively than other treatments. view more (2007-05-22)
