Tiny roundworm's telomeres help scientists to tease apart different types of aging
The continual and inevitable shortening of telomeres, the protective "caps" at the end of all 46 human chromosomes, has been linked to aging and physical decline. view more (2005-08-08)
Discovery of 'sugar sensor' in intestine could benefit diabetes
Diabetes patients could benefit from new research at the University of Liverpool that has identified a molecule in the intestine that can 'taste' the sugar content of the diet. view more (2007-08-22)
ISU researchers help map first plant-parasitic nematode genome sequence
There are numerous plant-parasitic nematodes in the world, but only a handful are responsible for the largest part of an estimated $157 billion in agricultural damage globally every year. Nematodes are small worms that burrow into plant roots and feed off living cells. view more (2008-09-05)
After a 40-year search, a hormone controlling iron metabolism in mammals is finally identified
Iron is vital for cells, because it catalyzes key enzyme reactions; it is also crucial for respiration, fixing atmospheric oxygen to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Iron deficiency can lead to severe anemia, with inadequate tissue oxygenation. An excess of iron is also toxic, as it facilitates the generation of free radicals that can attack the... view more...

Twice daily imatinib could improve outcome for people with specific form of gastro-intestinal cancer (pp 1101, 1127)
Results of a randomised trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a single daily 400 mg dose of imatinib-known to be a first-choice treatment for gastro-intestinal stromal tumours (GIST)-is sufficient to induce a therapeutic response; a doubling of a daily dose can slightly improve progression-free survival for patients. view more (2004-09-22)
UCLA researchers discover new disorder that causes chronic diarrhea in children
UCLA researchers have unraveled a mysterious condition that causes congenital diarrhea and intestinal failure in children. view more (2006-07-20)
Mechanism discovered in worm defecation identifies potentially widespread cell-to-cell communication
The focus of two recent Nobel prizes, a species of roundworm has made possible another advance in the understanding of how cells talk to one another, according to a study published online Feb. 21 in the journal Current Biology. view more (2008-02-22)
Mutant gene shatters nerves
If you bend a knee or an elbow, the nerves in your limbs stretch but do not break. A University of Utah study suggests why: A gene produces a springy protein that keeps nerve cells flexible. When the gene was disabled in tiny nematode worms, their nerve cells literally broke. view more (2007-01-30)
Study reveals mechanism for cancer-drug resistance
Using the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered a mechanism by which cancer cells become resistant to a specific class of drugs. view more (2006-10-11)
U. of Colorado team solves mystery of carcinogenic mothballs
Chemical compounds in household products like mothballs and air fresheners can cause cancer by blocking the normal process of "cell suicide" in living organisms, according to a new study spearheaded by the University of Colorado at Boulder. view more (2006-06-21)
OHSU study says stem cell 'fusion' occurs in tumors
An Oregon Health & Science University study is adding credence to an increasingly popular theory that fusion is what bonds stem cells with bone marrow cells to regenerate organ tissue. view more (2006-05-10)
May inflammatory bowel disease mimic gynecological disorders in its clinical presentation
Endometriosis is a condition of unknown etiology in which endometrial tissue occurs at extra-uterine sites, including ovaries, fallopian tubes, and gastrointestinal tract. view more (2008-02-25)
Chewing gum associated with enhanced bowel recovery after colon surgery
Chewing gum is associated with enhanced recovery of intestinal function following surgery to remove all or part of the colon, according to an analysis of previously published studies in the August issue of Archives of Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-08-19)
A strange case of upper obstructive syndrome
Aorto-duodenal fistulae (ADF) are the most frequent aorto-enteric fistulae (80%) and the most frequent presenting sign of ADF is upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGI). view more (2008-02-25)
Five more African countries to benefit from Schistosomiasis Control Initiative
Another five countries from across Africa have today been informed that they will benefit from a multi-national project to tackle schistosomiasis. Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Zambia and Tanzania, will be supported by the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI), based at Imperial College London and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates... view more...

Transgenic goat's milk offers hope for tackling children's intestinal disease
It's hard to improve on milk, but animal scientists at the University of California, Davis, have found that milk produced by transgenic goats, which carry the gene for an antibacterial enzyme found in human breast milk, altered the intestinal bacteria in young goats and pigs that were fed the milk. view more (2006-08-07)
Worms take the sniff test to reveal sex differences in brain
Buttery popcorn or fresh green vegetables? Your answer tells a lot about you. Now, scientists say that the way that thousands of tiny worms have answered that question likely reveals a lot about you and your brain, too. view more (2007-11-06)
Rhythm gene discovered
University of Utah biologists found a gene that controls rhythmic events in a worm's life: swallowing food, laying eggs and pooping. view more (2005-10-07)
Scientists discover the double life of proteins
Scientists at The Australian National University are a step closer to understanding the rare Hartnup disorder after discovering a surprising link between blood pressure regulation and nutrition that could also help to shed light on intestinal and kidney function. view more (2008-04-30)
Molecular drug pump may help reduce risk of Alzheimer's
A molecule that has long been an obstacle to cancer chemotherapy and drug treatments for brain disorders may soon become an ally in the fight against Alzheimer's disease, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of Rochester. view more (2005-10-21)
