Age-related memory improvement linked with consumption of apple products
New research from the University of Massachusetts Lowell suggests that consuming apple juice may protect against cell damage that contributes to age-related memory loss, even in test animals that were not prone to developing Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. view more (2006-01-25)
Melatonin may be served as a potential anti-fibrotic drug
In China, the incidence of liver cirrhosis is still high. Liver cirrhosis results from fibrosis. If treated properly at fibrosis stage, cirrhosis can be prevented. view more (2009-03-31)
Link between autism and abnormal blood-vessel function and oxidative stress
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that children with autism showed signs of abnormal blood-vessel function and damaging levels of oxidative stress compared to healthy children. view more (2006-08-16)
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center researcher finds mold by-product kills multiple myeloma
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center researchers have found that chaetocin, a by-product of a common wood mold, has promise as a new anti-myeloma agent. view more (2007-04-16)
Scientists discover way to block growth of prostate cancer cells
Scientists have discovered for the first time a specific biochemical pathway by which the sex hormone, androgen, increases levels of harmful chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the prostate gland that play a role in the development of prostate cancer. view more (2006-11-08)
Research shows NPD1 protects a key component of vision
Two papers to be published in the Early Edition online of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) the week of July 30-August 3, 2007 report findings that demonstrate that neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) protects against damage to retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and identifies an important trigger for its production and novel... view more...

How oxidative stress may help prolong life
Oxidative stress has been linked to aging, cancer and other diseases in humans. Paradoxically, researchers have suggested that small exposure to oxidative conditions may actually offer protection from acute doses. view more (2009-05-29)
'Escaped' proteins add to hearing loss in elderly, UF researchers find
Age-related hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder among the elderly. But scientists are still trying to figure out what cellular processes govern or contribute to the loss. view more (2009-11-11)
Lamin B locks up Oct-1
A large fraction of the transcription factor Oct-1 is associated with the inner nuclear envelope, but how and why it is retained there was unknown. view more (2009-01-12)
New mechanism links smoking to lung damage
In the August 7, 2007, issue of PLoS One, researchers show how a poorly understood and previously unsuspected mechanism may be the key to understanding how life-style associated forms of oxidative stress, such as exposure to cigarette smoke, damage cells in the lungs. view more (2007-08-07)
Pathogen protection and virulence: Dark side of fungal membrane protein revealed
Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech and Montana State University have discovered a fungal protein that plays a key role in causing disease in plants and animals and which also shields the pathogen from oxidative stress. view more (2009-11-09)
Early environmental exposure may accelerate age-related neurodegeneration
Exposure to iron during the first weeks of life in combination with exposure later in life to a common herbicide may contribute to the subsequent degeneration of brain cells associated with the onset of Parkinson's disease (PD), according to a new study in mice. view more (2007-06-28)
Light exercise a tonic to keep the brain young
In the first study to show that lifelong exercise decreases cellular aging in the brain, scientists from the McKnight Brain Institute of the University of Florida say that moderately active rats have healthier DNA and more robust brain cells than their less active counterparts. view more (2005-11-14)
A genome wide search for genes underlying anxiety disorders turned up unexpected candidates
Increasing the activity of two enzymes better known for their role in oxidative stress metabolism turns normally relaxed mice into "Nervous Nellies," according to research conducted at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and reported in the early online edition of Nature. view more (2005-10-31)
Could Healthy Eating Cause Stress?
The health benefits of antioxidants in foods including red wine, vitamin E and even tea have been widely researched over the last twenty years, fuelled by evidence that oxidative damage may be implicated in many diseases. On Monday 12 April, 17.30, Dr Edwin N. Frankel, University of California, will explore 'Antioxidants: past,... view more... (2002-04-12)
Toxic substances when cooking fats and oils?
Consumers' food health and safety may be affected by the presence of micro-organisms and toxic substances in foodstuffs. The cause of the presence of toxic substances in food is sometimes due to the fact that these have been subject to processes of degradation. The oxidation or thermal degradation of food lipids causes deterioration in foodstuffs... view more... (2005-05-25)
Hepatitis C virus channels efforts into cell survival
Researchers at the University of Leeds have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that allows the hepatitis C virus (HCV) to remain in the body for decades. view more (2009-08-18)
Reductive stress linked to heart disease
Antioxidants are widely considered an important defense against heart disease, but University of Utah researchers have found excessive levels of one antioxidant-reduced glutathione-actually may contribute to the disease. view more (2007-08-10)
Animal model of Parkinson's disease reveals striking sensitivity to common environmental toxins
In findings that support a relationship between agricultural chemicals and Parkinson's disease, two groups of researchers have found new evidence that loss of DJ-1, a gene known to be linked to inherited Parkinson's disease, leads to striking sensitivity to the herbicide paraquat and the insecticide rotenone. view more (2005-09-07)
Redox-active iron is a sensor of cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease
An innovative discovery has been reported that highlights the problems that oxidative stress resulting from iron cumulated in the human brain can generate in relation with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the brain disorder affecting almost 30 million throughout the world. view more (2008-04-07)
