Our brains make their own marijuana: We're all pot heads deep inside
U.S. and Brazilian scientists have just proven that one of Bob Dylan's most famous lines--"everybody must get stoned"-- is correct. view more (2009-04-21)
Fluoxetine: antidepressant and a possible new drug for the treatment of obesity
The Department of Nutrition and Bromatology of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Gasteiz, University of the Basque Country, is studying the action mechanism of fluoxetine in genetically fattened rats (Zucker fa/fa). Due to fluoxetine, those rats eat 50 % less. Therefore, the bodies put on less weight and the size of different fat tissues is reduced.... view more... (2002-07-30)
Down to the Bone
Although modern medical technology is already well advanced, implants made of synthetic materials can cause problems: they may give rise to rejection reactions or loosen over time because the contact between the surrounding tissue and the implanted material is not good enough. A remarkable procedure developed by a team of chemists working with... view more... (1999-02-09)
Comprehensive genetic study paves way for new blood-pressure medicines
Eight previously unknown genes that affect blood pressure were recently identified in a comprehensive international study comprising 34,433 Europeans. view more (2009-05-11)
Proteasome activator enhances survival of Huntington's disease neuronal model cells
To function, each living cell needs both to build new and to degrade old or damaged proteins. To accomplish that, a number of intracellular systems work in concert to keep the cell healthy and from clogging up with damaged proteins. view more (2007-02-28)
Free radical scavenging is defective in periodontal (tooth loosening) disease
The capacity to mop up harmful oxygen free radicals seems to be reduced in people with periodontal disease, finds research in Molecular Pathology. Periodontal disease affects between 10 and 15% of people worldwide. A leading cause of tooth loss, it develops as a result of bacterial infection from a build-up of the sticky, colourless bacterial... view more... (2002-11-22)

Glue inside the cell: Ubiquitin builds up an immune response
Ubiquitin is a small protein, which can be attached to other cellular proteins, a process known as ubiquitination. Discoveries in the 1980 th on a key function of ubiquitination in the regulation of protein degradation where awarded with the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2004. view more (2007-10-22)

Model shows how mutation tips biochemistry to cause Alzheimer's
Your fate can be determined by tiny events. Imagine you live in the city and you walk everywhere to get exercise - you are healthy and not afraid of getting mugged. view more (2008-05-12)
Scientists develop new treatments for Alzheimer's disease
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have created a new chemical compound that could be developed into a drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-27)
Nerve prosthesis developed in Ume'å
The first clinical study ever with a new type of nerve prosthesis has been launched at Northern Sweden University Hospital. It is being carried out by a research team from Ume'å University under the leadership of Professors Jan-Olof Kellerth and Mikael Wiberg. The team, at the Department of Integrative Medical Biology and the Department of... view more... (2003-11-11)
Scientists discover way to control allergic reactions
Scientists have discovered a novel method to reduce cat allergic reactions by topping up the immune cells responsible for controlling them. view more (2005-04-06)
The road to allergy
A UK scientist has discovered the route and type of transport taken by peanut proteins through the gut to the immune system. This route favours an immune response, which helps explain why peanuts are one of the most allergenic foods. view more (2004-11-18)
Friendly bacteria in alcoholic milkshake could fight food allergies
Feeding babies alcoholic milk may help to protect against some food allergies. Kefir, a traditional fermented drink, is consumed in Eastern Europe as a health food, and is often used to wean babies, as it is easily digested. view more (2006-10-16)
Ventricular Regulation May Be Key to Preventing Heart Failure
A four-week study conducted on animals revealed that regulating ventricular rates and heart structure in models with irregular heart rhythms can inhibit chronic heart failure (CHF). view more (2004-11-18)
Are angiotensins involved in the hemodynamic changes of cirrhosis patients?
Liver cirrhosis has been recently studied in the light of the new view of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). view more (2009-06-12)
Repetitive motion speeds nanoparticle uptake
Newly published research by Rice University chemists and North Carolina State University toxicologists finds that repetitive movement can speed the uptake of nanoparticles through the skin. view more (2007-01-05)
If oxytocin eating role doesn't mature at birth, what other situations affect its impact?
More than 15 years ago Edward Stricker and Joseph Verbalis reported that oxytocin (OT) is involved in the neural control of food and salt intake in adult rats. view more (2005-08-12)
