Scientists learn how the brain 'boots up' to process information from the senses
The same chemical in the body that is targeted by the drug Viagra® also helps our brains "boot up" in the morning so we can process sights, sound, touch and other sensory information. view more (2006-08-10)
Studies find possible drug targets for improving vascular health
The enzyme nitric oxide synthase plays a role in peripheral vascular disease, a common disease that impairs the mobility of 25 percent of people over the age of 50, according to a Yale study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). view more (2005-08-26)
Nitric oxide could extend fertility
Researchers have found that an important chemical compound, nitric oxide, appears to slow or reverse the aging of eggs in mouse ovaries. view more (2005-09-08)
Inhaled nitric oxide may help sickle cell disease
Inhaling a small dose of nitric oxide gas may one day help sickle cell patients avoid pain crises and live healthier lives, researchers say. view more (2005-10-24)
Researchers uncover mechanisms leading to portal hypertension
A physician-scientist at UT Southwestern Medical Center and his research team have identified mechanisms causing a potentially deadly type of hypertension that results from liver damage-findings that could lead to its prevention. view more (2005-09-30)
Common bacteria pirate natural mechanism to get inside cells
Bacteria and viruses utilize a natural mechanism to get inside cells and grow, researchers say. view more (2006-01-26)
Nitric oxide: Key to cardiovascular and pulmonary function and drug effectiveness
A naturally occurring molecule in the body appears to control whether certain medications, such as beta adrenergic receptor agonists used in acute heart failure or in inhalers for asthma, lose their effectiveness over time. view more (2007-05-04)
Scientists help explain effects of ancient Chinese herbal formulas on heart health
New research at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston suggests that ancient Chinese herbal formulas used primarily for cardiovascular indications including heart disease may produce large amounts of artery-widening nitric oxide. view more (2009-08-19)
New method for detecting nitroxyl will boost cardiac drug research
Wake Forest University scientists have developed a new research tool in the pursuit of heart medications based on the compound nitroxyl by identifying unique chemical markers for its presence in biological systems. view more (2009-07-06)
New light shed on marine luminescence
The phenomenon of light emission by living organisms, bioluminescence, is quite common, especially in marine species. view more (2009-02-23)
U-M study offers new perspective on nitric oxide signaling in rheumatoid arthritis
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School have found evidence that challenges current thinking about the cause of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory disease that damages joints, causes pain, loss of movement, and bone deformities in 2.1 million Americans. view more (2006-10-31)
'Erectile dysfunction' drugs heighten natural anti-cancer activity
Sildenafil and other "impotence drugs" that boost the production of a gassy chemical messenger to dilate blood vessels and produce an erection now also show promise in unmasking cancer cells so that the immune system can recognize and attack them, say scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. view more (2006-12-08)
Estrogen activates critical lung genes to improve lung function following preterm birth
Estrogen may be a new postnatal therapy to improve lung function and other outcomes in preterm infants, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in an animal study. view more (2009-03-12)
ESC Congress 2004: PERTINENT - PERindopril - Thrombosis, InflammatioN, Endothelial dysfunction and Neurohormonal activation Trial
A Sub-Study of the EUROPA Study Evaluation of the Effect of Perindopril on Endothelial Function view more (2004-08-31)
Ovarian cancer responds to aspirin derivative with chemo
A new study using ovarian cancer cell lines shows promise in treating the deadly disease by combining the chemotherapy drug cisplatin with an aspirin-like compound to make recurrent cancer cells less resistant to the chemotherapy. view more (2006-02-16)
Hypoxia training suppresses harmful cardiac nitric oxide production during heart attack
Researchers at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, Texas have demonstrated that, contrary to prevailing dogma, hypoxia can be remarkably beneficial to the heart. These discoveries, to be reported in the June 2008 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, may lead to a new paradigm to protect hearts of patients at... view more... (2008-05-27)
Diabetes complications rooted in faulty cell repair
University of Florida researchers say primitive cells that act like molecular maintenance men-traveling throughout the body to repair damaged blood vessels-become too rigid to move in patients with diabetes, fueling the disease's vascular complications. view more (2006-01-26)
Researchers Reveal How Air Pollutant Helps Pregnant Women with Hypertension
Nitric oxide (NO) is best known as an air pollutant produced by vehicle emissions and power plants but for pregnant women it is a crucial compound required to avoid hypertension and pre-eclampsia. view more (2006-09-21)
Gender, coupled with diabetes, affects vascular disease development
Diabetes is associated with the development of vascular (blood vessel) disease. As we age, vascular disease becomes more common. view more (2007-08-16)
New synthetic compounds appear to prevent brain cell death
Spanish chemists have developed a promising set of synthetic compounds that one day could help slow or perhaps halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders. view more (2005-12-21)
