Rapid restoration of immunity in immune-suppressed cancer patients using T-cell vaccines
Patients with multiple myeloma suffer from a malignant proliferation of plasma cells in their bone marrow. view more (2005-10-21)
Does too much protein in the diet increase cancer risk?
A great deal of research connects nutrition with cancer risk. Overweight people are at higher risk of developing post-menopausal breast cancer, endometrial cancer, colon cancer, kidney cancer and a certain type of esophageal cancer. view more (2006-12-07)
Would you like fries with that?
Exploiting interactions between food and drugs could dramatically lower the rapidly rising costs of several anticancer drugs, and perhaps many other medications, two cancer-pharmacology specialists suggest in a commentary in the July 16, 2007, issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. view more (2007-07-17)
Advance in understanding cellulose synthesis
Cellulose is a fibrous molecule that makes up plant cell walls, gives plants shape and form and is a target of renewable, plant-based biofuels research. view more (2009-06-15)
New biologic treatment for tennis elbow may replace surgery for chronic sufferers
A person suffering from tennis elbow may not have to look any further than his or her own body for the most effective treatment. view more (2006-10-23)
Membrane fusion at the synapse: Janus faced synaptotagmin-1 helps to keep the fast pace
Imagine a bathtub with two soap bubbles colliding but never fusing. Then you add detergent, and the surface of the water goes flat as the walls of the bubbles collapse and merge. view more (2008-10-30)
Advances in screening and markers improve early detection of colorectal cancer
Although colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, when detected early, it has one of the highest cure rates. view more (2007-05-23)
Novel link between excessive nutrient levels and insulin resistance
For quite some time now, scientists suspected the so-called hexosamine pathway - a small side business of the main sugar processing enterprise inside a cell - to be involved in the development of insulin resistance. But they could never quite put their finger on the underlying mechanism. view more (2008-02-22)
Building a hand-held lab-on-a-chip to simplify blood tests
A cell phone-sized blood-count machine requiring less blood than a mosquito bite will make blood tests easier for many patients, from neonatal units to astronauts in space. view more (2006-04-13)
What makes an axon an axon?
Inside every axon is a dendrite waiting to get out. Hedstrom et al. converted mature axons into dendrites by banishing a protein crucial for neuron development. view more (2008-11-10)
First direct evidence that environmental oestrogens affect sperm fertility
Researchers have found the first evidence that oestrogens from the environment, and also ones that occur naturally in our bodies, significantly affect the fertilising ability of sperm. Prof Lynn Fraser told the annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Vienna today (Tuesday 2 July) that environmental... view more... (2002-06-30)
Ketogenic diet prevents seizures by enhancing brain energy production, increasing neuron stability
Although the high-fat, calorie-restricted ketogenic diet (KD) has long been used to prevent childhood epileptic seizures that are unresponsive to drugs, physicians have not really understood exactly why the diet works. view more (2005-11-14)
What is the role of interleukin-10 in ischemia-reperfusion injury?
I/R injury of the small intestine is consequently a critical problem that is important. DHP-PMX therapy can remove circulating endotoxins and reduce various cytokines, even in patients with high levels of plasma cytokines. view more (2008-09-26)
How to identify early graft dysfunction preoperatively?
Small-for-size graft dysfunction (SFSGD) following living-related liver transplantation (LRLT) is characterized by early graft dysfunction (EGD) when the graft-to-recipient body weight ratio (GRBWR) is below 0.8%. view more (2009-10-16)
Sulphur in just one hair could blow a terrorist's alibi
A group of researchers from the LGC Chemical Metrology Laboratory in the United Kingdom and the University of Oviedo, Spain, have come up with a method to detect how the proportions of isotopes in a chemical element (atoms with an equal number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons) vary throughout the length of a single hair. view more (2009-05-28)
Scientists discover genetic key to growing hardier, more productive plants
A team of scientists led by University of Connecticut plant biologist Roberto Gaxiola has discovered an overlooked genetic key to generating plants that are more productive, more drought resistant and can grow in soils low in nutrients. view more (2005-10-07)
Physicists see similarities in stream of sand grains, exotic plasma at birth of universe
Streams of granular particles bouncing off a target in a simple tabletop experiment produce liquid-like behavior also witnessed in a massive research apparatus that simulates the birth of the universe. view more (2007-11-07)
Study may explain why exercise helps heart failure patients
Aerobic training is associated with a reversal of abnormal hormonal patterns that underlie many of the debilitating symptoms of heart failure. view more (2006-04-28)
Rare syndrome provides clues on obesity, blood pressure
University of Iowa researchers have found a clue about how resistance to the hormone leptin might disrupt the brain signals that tell the body when to stop eating. view more (2008-03-04)
Platelet-rich plasma: Does it work?
Platelet -rich plasma (PRP) is currently used as an alternative treatment method for several common orthopaedic-related sports medicine conditions. view more (2009-10-01)
