Genetic factors implicated in survival gap for breast, ovarian or prostate cancer
A new finding reveals that African-American patients with breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer tend to die earlier than patients of other races with these cancers, even when they receive identical medical treatment and when socioeconomic factors are controlled for.   view more (2009-07-09)

Researchers hot on the trail of brain cell degeneration
A research team headed by Academy Research Fellow Michael Courtney has identified a new molecular pathway in neurons. The pathway is a factor in the degeneration of brain cells, which in turn plays an important role in neurological conditions and diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and stroke.   view more (2007-03-20)

Yale scientists create artificial 'cells' that boost the immune response to cancer
Using artificial cell-like particles, Yale biomedical engineers have devised a rapid and efficient way to produce a 45-fold enhancement of T cell activation and expansion, an immune response important for a patient's ability to fight cancer and infectious diseases, according to an advance on line report in Molecular Therapy.   view more (2008-02-27)

Researchers identify and shut down protein that fuels ovarian cancer
A protein that stimulates blood vessel growth worsens ovarian cancer, but its production can be stifled by a tiny bit of RNA wrapped in a fatty nanoparticle, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.   view more (2008-02-27)

MRI Superior to Mammography for Screening Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is significantly more sensitive than mammography and ultrasound for diagnosing familial breast cancer, according to researchers at Germany's University of Bonn.   view more (2003-06-12)

Eggs from embryonic stem cells could benefit sterile women
Monash researchers have developed a process that causes embryonic stem (ES) cells to develop into ovarian structures containing eggs.    view more (2005-06-20)

Breakthrough gives spinal injury sufferers a standing start
For the first time, engineers have enabled paralysed people to stand up and balance for significant periods without holding an external support. This is an important breakthrough in helping individuals with spinal cord injuries to start standing again for useful lengths of time - up to seven minutes have been achieved in experiments. The... view more... (2003-01-16)

Electrical stimulation boosts stroke recovery
Sending tiny electric pulses to a part of the brain controlling motor function helps ischemic stroke survivors regain partial use of a weakened hand, new Oregon Health & Science University research shows.   view more (2006-03-23)

New genetic marker characterizes aggressiveness of cancer cells
Levels of a small non-coding RNA molecule called let-7 appear to define different stages of cancer better than some of the "classical" markers for tumor progression.   view more (2007-06-26)

Study finds that significant proportion of men told wife's cancer was incurable late or not at all
A study conducted in Sweden found that more than 40 percent of widowers in that country whose wives died from cancer four or five years earlier reported they were either never told that their spouse's cancer was incurable, or they heard this information during the last week of her life.   view more (2008-07-09)

UCSD researchers state vitamin D needed to cut cancer risk
Taking 1,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D3 daily appears to lower an individual's risk of developing certain cancers - including colon, breast, and ovarian cancer - by up to 50 percent.   view more (2005-12-29)

Researchers Identify Gene with Possible Link to Infertility in Mice
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have identified the role of a gene in regulating molecular signals involved with ovarian follicle development, which may one day help shed light on some of the causes of fertility issues in humans.   view more (2009-10-05)

Slowing Alzheimer's disease by keeping mind and body active
Researchers have uncovered the pathways behind the protection offered by environmental stimulation in Alzheimer's disease, further confirming that enhanced mental and physical activity slows neurological decline.   view more (2006-07-25)

Egg-sharing does not damage a donor's own chance of a baby say UK researchers
Women who take part in egg sharing programmes run by fertility clinics are not compromising their chance of having a baby by donating some of their eggs, according to UK research published today (Thursday 30 October) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1]. The Lister Fertility Clinic in London, a private clinic... view more... (2003-10-27)

New fertility guidelines limit embryo transfers
The March of Dimes applauds new fertility treatment guidelines from the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) calling for a limited number of embryos - in some cases only one - to be transferred during in-vitro fertilization procedures.   view more (2006-10-25)

Migraine sufferers more prone to hangover headache
Migraine sufferers, beware. You may be more prone to an alcohol-induced headache after a night of drinking, according to researchers from the Jefferson Headache Center. The research will be presented at Neuroscience 2009, the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, in Chicago.   view more (2009-10-19)

Women testing negative for familial breast cancer gene still at increased risk
Women testing negative for the two inherited breast cancer genes are still at increased risk of developing the disease, suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Medical Genetics.   view more (2006-10-31)

Bowel cancer sufferers at risk of developing other unrelated cancers faster than expected
Bowel cancer sufferers are at increased risk of developing other completely different cancers at a higher rate than would be expected, finds a study in Gut. And this excludes recurrence of, or spread (metastasis) from, the original tumour.   view more (2002-04-09)
