Paradoxical protein might prevent cancer
One difficulty with fighting cancer cells is that they are similar in many respects to the body's stem cells. By focusing on the differences, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have found a new way of tackling colon cancer. The study is presented in the prestigious journal Cell. view more (2009-11-16)
The unknown within us - ageing affects our gut flora
Ageing does not only affect the way we look from outside; the microbiota living in our gut also changes with age. The intestinal microbiota of infants is quite well identified, but only 8% of the microbes in elderly people can be characterised at the moment. We all carry inside us millions of mostly beneficial bacteria that help us manage our diet... view more... (2002-10-18)
Automated microfluidic device reduces time to screen small organisms for genetic studies
Genetic studies on small organisms such as worms and flies can now be done more quickly using a new microfluidic device developed by engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. view more (2008-06-24)
Probiotics ease gut problems caused by long term stress
Probiotics may help to reduce gut symptoms caused by long term stress, indicates research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2006-04-25)
Appendix removal delays onset of inflammatory bowel disease and lessens symptoms
Appendix removal delays the onset of inflammatory bowel disease and lessens the symptoms, especially if done before the age of 20, finds research in Gut. view more (2002-11-12)
Scientists identify a gene that may suppress colorectal cancer
In today's online edition of Genome Research, a husband-and-wife research team from Thomas Jefferson University report the discovery of a gene that, when mutated, may suppress colorectal cancer. view more (2007-03-22)
Prebiotic potential of almonds
Almonds, as well as being high in vitamin E and other minerals, are also thought to have other health benefits, such as reducing cholesterol. view more (2008-06-30)
Left-right wiring determined by neural communication in the embryonic worm
Most animals appear symmetrical at first glance, but we're full of internal lop-sidedness. From the hand used to pick up a pencil or throw a baseball, to where language is generated in the brain, to the orientation of our internal organs, humans are a glut of asymmetries. view more (2007-05-18)
The bowels of infection
Current research suggests that latent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may exacerbate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The related report by Onyeagocha et al, "Latent cytomegalovirus infection exacerbates experimental colitis," appears in the November 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2009-10-21)
Researchers call for better public health campaigns to control and eliminate river blindness
River blindness is a disease transmitted by biting flies, affecting areas such as West Africa, Nigeria, Congo, the Central African Republic and Central and South America, and causing significant health problems for at least 18 million people. view more (2005-10-12)
Controlling parasite burdens in wild red grouse Lagopus lagopus scoticus through the indirect application of anthelmintic
In an article published today in issue 6 of the Journal of Applied Ecology, Dave Newborn of The Game Conservancy Trust explains the practical implications of a four-year heather moorland experiment that aimed to reduce the impact of parasitic worms on wild red grouse populations. view more (2002-11-26)
Scientists step closer to new treatments for River Blindness
Veterinary scientists in Liverpool have found that some African cattle have natural immunity to a parasite, similar to that which causes River Blindness in humans. view more (2006-04-14)
Drugstore in the Dirt
French clay that kills several kinds of disease-causing bacteria is at the forefront of new research into age-old, nearly forgotten, but surprisingly potent cures. view more (2007-10-26)
Why doesn't the immune system attack the small intestine?
Answering one of the oldest questions in human physiology, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have discovered why the body's immune system-perpetually on guard against foreign microbes like bacteria - doesn't attack tissues in the small intestine that harbor millions of bacteria cells. view more (2007-01-10)
Revolutionary approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease
Ghent scientists at VIB (the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology) are developing what could be a revolutionary new approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): dairy bacteria that produce a natural anti-inflammatory therapeutic substance in the intestine. The results of this research are being published this... view more... (2000-08-31)
Smithsonian guide to the biodiverse marine environment of Panama's Bocas del Toro
Coral reefs, coastal rainforest, land-grab, industrial bananas and organic cacao, mangroves, tourist boom, eclectic cultural mix: A Caribbean Journal of Science special issue presents the first scientific overview of the marine environment in Bocas del Toro Province near Panama's border with Costa Rica. view more (2005-12-29)
1 of life's most common compounds causes allergic inflammation
The beetle's back and the crab's shell owe their toughness to a common compound called chitin that now appears to trigger airway inflammation and possibly asthma, UCSF scientists have found. view more (2007-04-23)
Nano-sized 'trojan horse' to aid nutrition
Researchers from Monash University have designed a nano-sized "trojan horse" particle to ensure healing antioxidants can be better absorbed by the human body. view more (2008-08-25)
Antegrade bowel intussusception can cause recurrent, chronic postoperative intestinal obstruction
Several complications can be seen after pancreatic surgery, most notably bleeding, infections and anastomotic dehiscence. Bowel obstruction can also be seen due to internal hernias or anastomotic strictures. A more unusual etiology for bowel obstruction in this setting is intussusception. view more (2007-11-14)
Worm parasite may hold clues in bid for illness and allergy cures
Tiny worms that can trick the body's natural defences could hold the key to new treatments for a range of conditions, including diabetes, asthma and hay fever. view more (2005-11-08)
