Scientists working in the only lab at MIT doing hematology research have uncovered a protein that plays a key role in the recycling of iron from blood.   view more (2007-10-12)

New target for Alzheimer's disease identified
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable disease that is increasing in prevalence and will increase even more rapidly as the Baby Boom generation enters the age of highest risk. The available AD drugs are only partially effective in some patients. New strategies are urgently needed.   view more (2008-05-07)

Crucial progress in understanding Fragile X mental retardation protein
Researchers in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine have identified a new regulatory target for the Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), laying the groundwork for possible new treatments for Fragile X syndrome(FXS), the leading... view more (2007-06-07)

How memories are made, and recalled
What makes a memory? Single cells in the brain, for one thing. For the first time, scientists at UCLA and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have recorded individual brain cells in the act of calling up a memory, thus revealing where in the brain a specific memory is stored, and how it is... view more (2008-09-08)

Mammalian neurogenesis breaks into the most static brain region
ifteen years ago, the discovery of adult neurogenesis (the production of new neurons) in the highly static, non-renewable mammalian brain was a breakthrough in neuroscience.   view more (2008-06-04)

HIV vaccine takes different tack to boosting immune response
esearchers at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in Houston have reason to believe their unorthodox vaccine could one day help to prevent or control HIV infection.   view more (2006-01-03)

Rewiring the mammalian brain - neurons make fickle friends
A new discovery from the Brain Mind Institute of the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) shows that the brain rewires itself following an experience.   view more (2006-08-08)

Smoking produces changes in human brain like those in animals using illicit drugs
New research shows for the first time that smoking produces long-lasting biochemical changes in the human brain similar to those changes previously seen in the brains of animals that used cocaine, heroin, and other illicit drugs.   view more (2007-02-20)

Study offers innovative profile of enzyme that aids tumor growth

Research Fortnight 1 August issue - medical data, technology transfer and e-science stories
Lords plan for medical data regulator rejected The government has rejected a call for a Medical Data Panel to be established to oversee the use of genetic data from the National Health Service and medical research. The panel proposal was rejected last week on the grounds that its powers would be... view more (2001-08-01)

A key to male fertility
Until now, mutations of the LH hormone receptor were the only explanation known for sexual precocity in boys. A team at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC, CNRS / Inserm / Université Louis Pasteur de Strasbourg)), in collaboration with researchers at the... view more (2007-03-05)
