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. Predisposition to common conditions such as asthma,... view more... (2002-12-18)
Cancers' Sweet Tooth May Be Weakness
The pedal-to-the-metal signals driving the growth of several types of cancer cells lead to a common switch governing the use of glucose, researchers at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University have discovered. view more (2009-11-19)

Boron-based compounds trick a biomedical protein
Chemists and biologists have successfully demonstrated that specially synthesized boron compounds are readily accepted in biologically active enzymes, a move that, they say, is a proof of concept that could lead to new drug design strategies. view more (2009-09-03)
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 few types of tumor have such a familial form.... view more...

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)

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)
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 surgical procedure that clears blockages from the neck's... view more...
