Potential new pain killer drug developed by scientists at Leicester and Italy
A potential new pain-killing drug developed by medical scientists at the University of Leicester and Ferrara in Italy is to be discussed at a public lecture on 20th March.   view more (2007-03-16)

Gene influences antidepressant response
Whether depressed patients will respond to an antidepressant depends, in part, on which version of a gene they inherit.   view more (2006-03-17)

'Achilles' heel' of the herpes virus possibly found
It's one of the most common viruses in America, and one that causes the most guilt and shame. It can get inside almost any kind of human cell, reproduce in vast numbers, and linger for years in the body, causing everything from recurrent genital blisters to sores around the mouth. Its complications... view more (2005-07-25)

Wistar researchers invigorate 'exhausted' immune cells
In battles against chronic infections, the body's key immune cells often become exhausted and ineffective. Researchers at The Wistar Institute have found a way to restore vigor to these killer T cells by blocking a key receptor on their surface, findings that may advance the development of new... view more (2008-09-16)

Malaria mechanism revealed
By determining the molecular structure of a protein that enables malaria parasites to invade red blood cells, researchers have uncovered valuable clues for rational antimalarial drug design and vaccine development.   view more (2005-07-29)

Scratch no more: Gene for itch sensation discovered
Itching for a better anti-itch remedy" Your wish may soon be granted now that scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified the first gene for the itch sensation in the central nervous system.   view more (2007-07-26)

Researchers identify promising gene target for neuroblastoma therapy
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a set of previously unknown mutations in a single gene in 8 percent of neuroblastomas, tumors of the nervous system that occur in young children and account for approximately 15 percent of all childhood cancer deaths.   view more (2008-10-16)

Vaccine against HER2-positive breast cancer offers complete protection in lab
Researchers at Wayne State University have tested a breast cancer vaccine they say completely eliminated HER2-positive tumors in mice - even cancers resistant to current anti-HER2 therapy - without any toxicity.   view more (2008-09-15)

Engineered killer T cell recognizes HIV-1's lethal molecular disguises
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and colleagues in the United Kingdom have engineered T cells able to recognize HIV-1 strains that have evaded the immune system.   view more (2008-11-10)

How taste response is hard-wired into the brain
Instantly reacting to the sweet lure of chocolate or the bitter taste of strychnine would seem to demand that such behavioral responses be so innate as to be hard-wired into the brain.   view more (2006-01-19)

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)

Researchers find molecule that inhibits regrowth of spinal nerve cells
A molecule that helps the body's motor nerve cells grow along proper paths during embryonic development also plays a major role in inhibiting spinal-cord neurons from regenerating after injury, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found.   view more (2005-07-12)

MIT paves way to 'artificial nose'
MIT biological engineers have found a way to mass-produce smell receptors in the laboratory, an advance that paves the way for "artificial noses" to be created and used in a variety of settings.   view more (2008-09-30)

One gene provides fruit fly both antenna and color vision
A team of researchers that includes biologists from Washington University in St. Louis has discovered that a gene involved in the development and function of the fruit fly antenna also gives the organism its color vision.   view more (2006-04-05)

Hebrew University scientists develop prototype drug to prevent osteoporosis
Substances produced in the body that act like those found in the cannabis plant help preserve bone density, according to researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Based on this finding, a prototype for a new drug to prevent osteoporosis (loss of bone density) without any psychoactive side... view more (2006-01-04)

Depression linked to previously unknown dopamine regulator
Researchers from Harvard Medical School have found a molecule that is unexpectedly involved in dopamine signaling, and in a manner that supports the potential of dopamine as an alternative target for treating depression.   view more (2005-07-29)

Common molecule notifies immune system of prostate cancer
In experiments with mice, researchers have found that the body's immune system can use a surprisingly common molecule to recognize prostate tumors. The molecule comes from a protein found in all cells of the body; however, immune cells appear to respond to it only when it is present on the surface... view more (2008-01-11)

Cancer conflict with chemotherapy treatment
Women under the age of forty with breast cancer who are given drugs in addition to lumpectomies or radiotherapy, known as adjuvant chemotherapy, may not be benefiting from these drugs.   view more (2007-10-11)

Seeing a neurotoxin's deadly grip
Two Howard Hughes Medical Institute research teams working independently have discovered new information about how the botulinum neurotoxin shuts down neurons with deadly efficiency.   view more (2006-12-14)

Natural immune-control system may aid treatment of autoimmune disease and tissue rejection
The immune system's ability to police itself may offer a new method of arresting the cells responsible for autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and for the rejection of transplanted organs and tissues.   view more (2007-05-18)

Scientists throw light on drug-induced weight gain
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have identified two genes that could prevent millions of patients from gaining weight as a result of their medication. Their work is being presented at the American Psychiatric Association's annual meeting in San Francisco on Tuesday May 20th.   view more (2003-05-15)

Inert gas may help stop damaged nerve cells from dying
Scientists from Imperial College London have discovered that xenon gas could help in protecting damaged nerve cells. The research, published today in Anesthesiology, shows that xenon, an inert gas, acts as a neuroprotectant, helping to protect damaged nerve cells from dying. Based upon... view more (2002-05-29)

Parasite lipids against asthma or diabetes
Dutch research has demonstrated that lipids from the parasite schistosoma can inhibit human immune responses. This property makes the lipids interesting for a possible new treatment of diseases such as asthma and diabetes where the immune system responds inappropriately. During her doctoral... view more (2003-11-11)

Genetic mutation linked to West Nile virus infection
