Mimicking a human disease in mice: a new model for the Parkinson related illness multiple system atrophy
In this month`s issue of EMBO Reports Kahle et al. describe how they genetically engineered a mouse to show pathological symptoms similar to those of human patients suffering from the neural disease Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), also known as Shy-Drager-Syndrome. The model could help researchers... view more (2002-06-06)

Are New Functional Medical Disorders A Manifestation Of Environmental Toxicity?
In recent years there has been the emergence of a number of new illnesses that are attributed to environmental factors: multiple chemical sensitivity, syndrome related to dental amalgam and silicone breats implant, electrical hypersensitivity, sick-building syndrome, toner-related illness, and so... view more (2003-09-01)

Downstate researchers target multiple sclerosis
Researchers at SUNY Downstate Medical Center have developed a substance that inhibits the progress of multiple sclerosis (MS) in an animal model. The agent, a novel calpain inhibitor, can be administered orally.   view more (2006-11-22)

Lords Call For Faster Progress Towards Cannabis-Based Medicine
Progress towards a cannabis-based medicine for conditions such as multiple sclerosis is too slow, says the House of Lords Science & Technology Committee in a report published today [22 March]. The use of cannabis for any purpose other than scientific research is currently illegal. In November... view more (2001-03-22)

Nicotinic receptors may be important targets for treatment of multiple addictions
For years, scientists have known that some people are biologically more susceptible to drug addiction than others, but they have only been able to speculate why.   view more (2007-08-16)

Essential Hope for Multiple Sclerosis
New research by psychologists reveals the positive effects of aromatherapy on the quality of life for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) sufferers. Researchers at the University of Teeside found MS patients, in spite of experiencing the same symptoms, felt more vitality, happiness and peace during... view more (2004-08-23)

Mouse model underestimates the critical role of Tyk2 in human immune system
A new study identifies a human Tyk2 deficiency and definitively links this molecule with multiple cytokine signals that are critical for the human immune responses.   view more (2006-11-10)

Researchers develop guidelines to establish identity of genes responsible for common, complex diseases
Scientists from Imperial College London, the Medical Research Council, Case Western Reserve University, USA and the Hammersmith Hospital have developed guidelines which scientists can use as a benchmark for proof of identification of the multiple genes responsible for common, complex diseases.... view more (2002-12-18)

Higher risk for cervical cancer seen among women infected with multiple HPV types
The risk for developing the tissue abnormalities, or lesions, that typically precede cervical cancer is much higher for women infected with multiple genotypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV) than previously reported.   view more (2006-07-11)

Broadcasters & Theatres' Music Costs Could Double To Recoup CD Sales Drop
Research by Dr Andrew Burke of Warwick Business School at the University of Warwick has concluded that the broadcasters and theatres could see the licenses which they pay to the music industry increase by up to 287%. Similarly, cinemas, nightclubs and retail outlets could encounter price increases... view more (2004-02-02)

When Cancer Runs in the Family
Almost all tumor types have a genetically based form Most cancers occur sporadically. At least 5.5 percent of cancer cases are based on a genetic predisposition. These are usually identified because first-degree relatives develop the same type of tumor. So far, scientists have presumed that only a... view more (2004-02-09)

Potential new target for cancer found
By bypassing a well-known gene implicated in almost one-third of all cancers and instead focusing on the protein activated by the gene, Duke University Medical Center researchers believe they may have found a new target for anti-cancer drugs.   view more (2007-07-16)

How actin networks are actin'
Dynamic networks of growing actin filaments are critical for many cellular processes, including cell migration, intracellular transport, and the recovery of proteins from the cell surface.   view more (2008-01-03)

Daisies lead scientists down path to new leukemia drug
A new, easily ingested form of a compound that has already shown it can attack the roots of leukemia in laboratory studies is moving into human clinical trials, according to a new article by University of Rochester investigators in the journal, Blood.   view more (2007-10-03)

New study suggests potential for a broadly-protective HIV vaccine
New research conducted at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) suggests that it may be possible to develop a vaccine that protects against the myriad strains of the HIV virus.   view more (2007-05-30)

New MRI finding sheds light on multiple sclerosis disease progression
Using magnetic resonance (MR) images of the brain, researchers have identified a new abnormality related to disease progression and disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study published in the August issue of Radiology.   view more (2007-08-28)

Immune therapy could treat leukemias, autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection
In studies with mice, treatment with a new monoclonal antibody that targets immune system B cells has shown considerable promise for treating leukemias, autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection.   view more (2005-10-12)

Evidence from ancient European graves raises questions about ritual human sacrifice
A fascinating new paper from the June issue of Current Anthropology explores ancient multiple graves and raises the possibility that hunter gatherers in what is now Europe may have practiced ritual human sacrifice.   view more (2007-05-30)

For high-risk patients, stroke-prevention surgical procedure does not equate with high surgical risk
New research published in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows that "high-risk" patients with multiple medical conditions, including high blood pressure and coronary artery disease, can safely undergo carotid endarterectomy - a stroke-preventing... view more (2008-08-14)

Milestone for cannabinoid MS study
The CUPID (Cannabinoid Use in Progressive Inflammatory brain Disease) study at the Peninsula Medical School in Plymouth has reached an important milestone with the news that the full cohort of 493 people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been recruited to the study.   view more (2008-07-22)

Experts predict high mortality rates from pulmonary fibrosis will continue to rise
Mortality rates from pulmonary fibrosis (PF) have increased significantly in recent years, and are predicted to continue to rise, according to researchers from the University of Colorado.   view more (2007-08-01)
