Jefferson participating in global study to extend effectiveness of drug for Parkinson's
After Parkinson's disease patients use the drug levodopa or L-dopa for several years as a treatment for restoring the cellular communication that controls muscle movement by replacing lost dopamine, they begin to experience motor complications that include a shortened response to each dose of L-dopa. view more (2007-04-20)
Discovery of a mechanism that regulates cell movement
A study performed by researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), in collaboration with researchers at the Instituto de Biología Molecular of the CSIC, reveal a mechanism that controls the movement of cells in a tissue by regulating cell adhesion. view more (2008-07-21)
Faster, more precise MRI for the medical world
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revolutionised the medical world two decades ago, providing doctors with an unparalleled view inside the human body. Now, MRI-MARCB has taken MRI to a new level with a system that enhances image quality, reduces scan time and improves diagnosis. view more (2004-09-24)
Big Bang theory saved
An apparent discrepancy in the Big Bang theory of the universe's evolution has been reconciled by astrophysicists examining the movement of gases in stars. view more (2006-10-27)
In the race to the top, zigzagging is more efficient than a straight line
A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it isn't necessarily the fastest or easiest path to follow. view more (2008-02-21)
Rat makes a partial recovery following a spinal cord lesion
Scientists at the Netherlands Institute for Brain Research have developed an experimental therapy which enables rats with a spinal cord lesion to partially recover from their paralysis. Up until now not even the slightest degree of recovery was possible. PhD student Bas Blits was part of this team. The method uses a combination of transplantation... view more... (2002-02-19)
Research links 'ecstasy' to survival of key movement-related cells in brain
New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) suggests that the widely abused club drug "ecstasy," or MDMA, can increase the survival of dopamine cells in the brain during fetal development. view more (2006-10-19)
Scientists offer new model for forecasting the likelihood of an earthquake
In assessing the probability of an earthquake, scientists rely on two important pieces of data that are often inconsistent. The past geological record sometimes tells one story, while current measurements from the Global Positioning System (GPS) tell another. But a new forecasting model designed by Stanford University geophysicists may help close... view more... (2006-12-11)
Touchy-feely environment helps autistic children
Autistic children often do not interact well with the world around them; being unable to understand events in their immediate surroundings and lacking any sense of an ability to control or direct events. This inability to interact inhibits their mental development; precisely the problem that MEDIATE was designed to help overcome. view more (2004-10-06)
Data mining detects signs of Lou Gehrig's disease in gene carriers long before symptoms appear
Inspired by the use of microarray chips that look for gene combinations, psychologists are using "pattern array" software to spot movements in rats that might help them predict diseases such as Lou Gehrig's syndrome. view more (2008-08-04)
Calling GPs and stroke patients for research into constraint-induced movement therapy
Traditional treatment of movement problems for people who have suffered traumatic brain injury or strokes has mainly focused on making the best use of motor functions the patient has retained. A team at the University of Surrey is now examining a method which focuses on improving the weaker arm of patients with upper body hemiparesis (hand/arm... view more... (2004-09-07)
Lessons for the future from 'most thorough' analysis of Foot and Mouth epidemic yet
A new analysis of the spread of Britain's Foot and Mouth disease epidemic shows that extended culling programmes were essential for bringing the epidemic under control. The study by researchers from Imperial College, London, which is fast-tracked to publication in the scientific journal Nature tomorrow (4 October), also shows that the number of... view more...

Transplanted brain cells hold promise for Parkinson's disease
Transplanted neural stem cells hold promise for reducing the destruction of dopaminergic cells that occurs in Parkinson's disease and for replacing cells lost to the disease, scientists say. view more (2006-12-05)
Mayo Clinic researchers discover cancer cells may move via wave stimulation
Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered a new cellular secret that may explain how certain cancers move and spread - a feature of cancers that makes treatment especially difficult. view more (2006-04-03)
Surgical technique helps to reanimate paralyzed faces
A surgical technique known as temporalis tendon transfer, in conjunction with intense physical therapy before and after surgery, may help reanimate the features of those with facial paralysis. view more (2007-07-17)
New Hebrew University frictional motion study could provide tool for earthquake prediction
A new study on "waves (or fronts) of detachment" involved in the process of friction offers a new perspective on an old scientific puzzle and could provide a key to improving predictions of future earthquakes, say scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. view more (2004-09-26)
How the octopus forms an elbow
The octopus arm is extremely flexible. Thanks to this flexibility-the arm is said to possess a virtually infinite number of "degrees of freedom"-the octopus is able to generate a vast repertoire of movements that is unmatched by the human arm. view more (2006-04-18)
Computer poetry pushes the genre envelope
What happens to poetry in the Digital Age? In one of the first academic works in the field, Swedish researcher Maria Engberg has studied how the ability of the computer to combine words, images, movement, and sounds is impacting both writing and reading. view more (2007-09-13)
Mayo Clinic researchers discover and manipulate molecular interplay that moves cancer cells
Based on research that reveals new insight into mechanisms that allow invasive tumor cells to move, researchers at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida have a new understanding about how to stop cancer from spreading. A cancer that spreads elsewhere in the body, known as metastasis, is the process that most often leads to death from the disease. view more (2009-03-30)
Mom was right: Nice guys don't always finish last
Picture it: One jerk in a bar spends the night delivering bad come-ons to women. By the end of the evening, the women aren't receptive to even the nicest guys around. view more (2009-11-06)
