Scientists figure out how the immune system and brain communicate to control disease
In a major step in understanding how the nervous system and the immune system interact, scientists at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have identified a new anatomical path through which the brain and the spleen communicate.   view more (2008-07-22)

A new metal detector to study human disease
Zinc may be a familiar dietary supplement to millions of health-conscious people, but it remains a mystery metal to scientists who study zinc's role in Alzheimer's disease, stroke and other health problems.   view more (2006-03-22)

'Fetal' neurons play role in adult brain
Subplate neurons - once thought to die after directing the wiring of the cerebral cortex or gray matter- remain in the white matter of the adult brain in small numbers and maintain activity, communicating with other neurons in the brain said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine and the... view more (2007-09-12)

Small changes to transport systems could mean big benefits for older people
A new study has pinpointed how simple, low-cost measures could revolutionise older people's ability to use transport systems effectively, safely and with confidence.   view more (2008-09-12)

Cranfield publishes second report into low-cost airlines
Low-cost scheduled airlines have revolutionised short-haul air travel, particularly in the UK and Western Europe. The rapid growth of low-cost scheduled carriers in Europe is in sharp contrast to the charter airlines who have seen traffic stagnate or even decline. As the no-frills sector matures,... view more (2003-09-03)

Hide and seek: Researchers discover a new way for infectious bacteria to enter cells
French scientists have learned how Listeria monocytogenes, which causes a major food-borne illness, commandeers cellular transport machinery to invade cells and hide from the body's immune system.   view more (2005-08-22)

Antiviral drugs may help relieve nerve pain related to shingles
A small trial suggests that treatment with intravenous and oral antiviral medications may reduce the nerve pain that occurs following shingles.   view more (2006-05-09)

Car-less workers lose when firms move Report links jobs, commuting and housing
When a company moves out of a city centre, it is the low-paid public transport user on the staff who is most likely to give up their job.   view more (1999-09-08)

HSL-line alongside highway not always better
The clustering of highway and railway infrastructures is not always the best solution for achieving maximum transport capacity in the crowded Netherlands. The safety of these so-called transport corridors have to be more carefully researched. This is the conclusion of the research projects of TU... view more (2001-06-10)

Patients, be patient: Brain images suggest new therapy for severe depression can take months to work
It takes time - between three and 12 months - before a new type of therapy for treatment-resistant depression starts to benefit patients, according to new preliminary brain scan research that confirms earlier observations by psychiatrists about vagal nerve stimulation.   view more (2006-05-26)

Lessons from yeast: A possible cure for Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson disease (PD) is a debilitating and lethal neurodegenerative disease, for which there is currently no cure. It is caused by the progressive loss of nerve cells that produce the chemical dopamine and is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal aggregates of a protein called alpha-syn... view more (2008-08-15)

New source of multipotent adult stem cells discovered in human hair follicles
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have isolated a new source of adult stem cells that appear to have the potential to differentiate into several cell types.   view more (2006-07-13)

Irritating smells alert special cells, NIH-funded study finds
If you cook, you know. Chop an onion and you risk crying over your cutting board as a burning sensation overwhelms your eyes and nose. Scientists do not know why certain chemical odors, like onion, ammonia and paint thinner, are so highly irritating, but new research in mice has uncovered an... view more (2008-03-04)

Study proves alcohol injections for common cause of foot pain highly successful
Sonographically-guided alcohol injections has a high success rate and is well tolerated by patients with Morton's neuroma, a common cause of foot pain.   view more (2007-06-11)

Handsfree mobile phone is no safer in traffic
A VTI study performed in the driving simulator shows that using a mobile phone with a handsfree kit is no safer in traffic than using a hand-held mobile phone.   view more (2004-09-13)

Looking at neurons from all sides
A new technique that marries a fast-moving laser beam with a special microscope that look at tissues in different optical planes will enable scientists to get a three-dimensional view of neurons or nerve cells as they interact, said Baylor College of Medicine scientists in a report that appears... view more (2008-04-28)

The battery-powered Sherpa
Game show candidates might succeed in carrying a washing machine up several flights of stairs in record time - but for normal mortals this represents an enormous feat of strength and patience. People are well advised not to attempt it alone and spare themselves potential back problems - unless of... view more (2001-08-21)

Acrylamide and health risks
Researcher Birgit Paulsson at Stockholm University have conducted follow-up studies of the leakage of acrylamides in connection with tunnel construction under the Halland Ridge in southwestern Sweden. The aim has primarily been to enhance the database for assessing health risks, primarily cancer... view more (2003-04-22)

Investigating the causes of Parkinson's disease
A University of Nottingham researcher has been awarded more than £440,000 by the Parkinson's Disease Society (PDS) to investigate the causes of the condition.   view more (2007-07-23)

Cell-surface sugar defects may trigger nerve damage in multiple sclerosis patients
Defects on cell-surface sugars may promote the short-term inflammation and long-term neurodegeneration that occurs in the central nervous system of multiple sclerosis patients, according to University of California, Irvine researchers.   view more (2007-09-21)

Researcher working on destruction of chemical weapons
America's war on terror includes fighting the dark side of deadly chemical agents, and Texas A&M University chemist Dr. Frank Raushel is helping with the fight by developing an enzyme that might neutralize one such chemical agent, the organophosphates.   view more (2008-09-25)

Neuroscientists explain inner workings of critical pain pathway
Whether they're fighting postoperative soreness or relieving chronic discomfort from conditions such as cancer, morphine and other opioids are powerful weapons against pain. Now, in research published online in Nature Neuroscience, Brown University scientists give one reason why these painkillers... view more (2007-02-16)

London toll may make congestion worse, academic expert claims
The London toll may make the capital`s congestion problems worse, rather than solve them or make the economic savings outlined by Mayor Ken Livingstone, an academic expert in urban transport claims. Nor will it bring greater road safety or improve air quality, said Prof Les Mayhew, of City... view more (2002-02-26)

Researchers link early stem cell mutation to autism
In a breakthrough scientific study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have shown that neural stem cell development may be linked to Autism.   view more (2008-07-01)
