Kids with autism may have gene that causes muscle weakness
Some kids with autism may have a genetic defect that affects the muscles, according to research that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology 60th Anniversary Annual Meeting in Chicago, April 12-19, 2008. view more (2008-04-14)
Safer and more effective way to treat Crohn's disease
An international research study, published in The Lancet, has thrown into question the current method of treating Crohn's disease - opening the door to a safer and more effective treatment option for sufferers of the chronic disease. view more (2008-02-22)
New studies on goat milk show it is more beneficial to health than cow milk
Research carried out at the Department of Physiology of the University of Granada has revealed that goat milk has more beneficial properties to health than cow milk. Among these properties it helps to prevent ferropenic anaemia (iron deficiency) and bone demineralisation (softening of the bones). view more (2007-07-31)
Periodontal diseases may aggravate pre-diabetic characteristics
Periodontal diseases may contribute to the progression to pre-diabetes, according to a new study that appears in the March issue of the Journal of Periodontology. view more (2007-03-14)
Toxic Bile Damages the Liver
Researchers at the Heidelberg University Hospital have discovered a new genetic disease that can lead to severe liver damage. Because a protective component of the bile is missing, the liver cells are exposed to the toxic components of the bile, resulting in cirrhosis of liver, a transformation of liver cells into connective tissue with a gradual... view more...

Poor Adherence To Control Measures For Older Children With Phenylketonuria (p 55)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how older children are less likely to adhere to recommended guidelines to control phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder which can cause severe cognitive impairment. PKU is one of the most frequent inherited metabolic disorders, with a prevalence of about one in 14,000... view more... (2002-07-03)
A common denominator of inflammations and fatty liver
Many cancer patients lose a lot of weight during their disease: Fat and muscle mass are reduced, free fatty acids accumulate in the liver, and this eventually leads to fatty liver in affected patients. view more (2008-05-28)
Eight new genes linked to diabetes; the understanding of a financial and health monster
Eight genes, normally associated with normal pancreatic functions, are linked with susceptibility to diabetes Type 2 reports a team of investigators in the last issue of the PLoS Biology Journal. In'™s Barroso and colleagues at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom studied 71 genes on more than 2000 individuals, trying to correlate... view more... (2003-11-28)
Rethinking the genetic theory of inheritance
Scientists at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have detected evidence that DNA may not be the only carrier of heritable information; a secondary molecular mechanism called epigenetics may also account for some inherited traits and diseases. view more (2009-01-20)
A potential sugar fix for tumors
Researchers at the Duke School of Medicine apparently have solved the riddle of why cancer cells like sugar so much, and it may be a mechanism that could lead to better cancer treatments. view more (2008-04-16)
ESC Congress 2004: New study confirms benefits of rimonabant in weight loss, waistcircumference reduction and metabolic risk factor improvement

Alligators hint at what life may have been like for dinosaurs
During the last 540 million years, the earth's oxygen levels have fluctuated wildly. Knowing that the dinosaurs appeared around the time when oxygen levels were at their lowest at 12%, Tomasz Owerkowicz, Ruth Elsey and James Hicks wondered how these monsters coped at such low oxygen levels. view more (2009-04-17)
High-fat diet affects physical and memory abilities of rats after 9 days
Rats fed a high-fat diet show a stark reduction in their physical endurance and a decline in their cognitive ability after just nine days, a study by Oxford University researchers has shown. view more (2009-08-11)
Stress signals link pre-existing sickness with susceptibility to bacterial infection
Mitochondrial diseases disrupt the power generating machinery within cells and increase a person's susceptibility to bacterial infection, particularly in the lungs or respiratory tract. view more (2009-07-28)
Researchers develop marker that identifies energy-producing centers in nerve cells
A protein that causes coral to glow is helping researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine to light up brain cells that are critical for the proper functioning of the central nervous system. view more (2007-02-02)
Leading pediatrician addresses the future of children's health
Can diseases such as Alzheimer's, obesity and diabetes be prevented before birth? According to Jonathan D. Gitlin, M.D., the Helene B. Roberson Professor of Pediatrics and Professor of Genetics at the Washington University School of Medicine, researching whether diseases that strike adults are already genetically encoded in individuals while still... view more...

Overweight Hispanic children at significant risk for pre-diabetes, according to new USC study
A study by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) found that overweight Hispanic children are at significant risk for pre-diabetes, a condition marked by higher than normal blood glucose levels that are not yet high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. view more (2008-08-13)
Rapid, Functional, Genome-wide Drug Discovery Enabled
Munich, Germany, November 18th, 2003. Xantos Biomedicine AG, a leading functional biology and drug discovery company, announced that it has expanded its collection of full-length human cDNA clones in mammalian expression vectors to 35,000, representing one of the world's largest collections. The Xantos human cDNA collection covers individual cDNA... view more... (2003-11-18)
Journal of Alzheimer's Disease is devoted to metal ions and neurodegenerative diseases
The recent issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease (Volume 8, Issue 2) published by IOS Press is devoted to "Metal Ions and Neurodegenerative Diseases" and presents a collection of important papers dedicated to uncovering the role of various metals in human neurophysiology and neurodegenerative disorders. view more (2006-01-13)
Common herbicides and fibrates block nutrient-sensing receptor found in gut and pancreas
According to new research from the Monell Center and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, certain common herbicides and lipid-lowering fibrate drugs act in humans to block T1R3, a nutrient-sensing taste receptor also present in intestine and pancreas. view more (2009-10-12)
