Growth factor signals influence balance between normal growth and cancerous growth
New research from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine deepens the understanding of how the growth hormone/IGF system is affected by another important actor: p53, the tumor suppressor gene that puts the brakes on cancer. view more (2006-11-10)
An Anti-Frailty Pill for Seniors?
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System report that a daily single oral dose of an investigational drug, MK-677, increased muscle mass in the arms and legs of healthy older adults without serious side effects, suggesting that it may prove safe and effective in reducing age-related frailty. view more (2008-11-05)
Mild Undernutrition In Infancy Could Be Linked To Cardiovascular Health Benefits Later In Life (p1089)
Authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that current recommendations for early infant nutrition may need to be reviewed-if future research confirms preliminary findings suggesting a link between lower nutrient intake and slower growth of babies born prematurely with better cardiovascular health later in life. The... view more... (2003-03-26)
Researcher creates weight guidelines for women pregnant with twins
Healthy, normal-weight women pregnant with twins should gain between 37 and 54 pounds, according to research from a Michigan State University professor who helped shape the recently released national guidelines on gestational weight gain. view more (2009-07-22)
Blood protein may hold key to stopping tumor growth in cancer patients
A recent discovery by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine could clear the way for a new drug that inhibits tumor growth in cancer patients and could potentially help in the healing of wounds. view more (2009-04-01)
Growth hormone treatment for HIV patients improves abdominal fat, but worsens glucose level
For human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with treatment-related abdominal obesity and growth hormone deficiency, receiving low-dose growth hormone resulted in improvement in fat and blood pressure measurements but worsened glucose levels. view more (2008-08-04)
How IVF could be causing genetic errors in embryos
The conditions in which embryos are cultured in the laboratory during in vitro fertilisation could be causing genetic errors that are associated with certain developmental syndromes and other abnormalities in growth and development, such as low birth weight. view more (2006-06-19)
Pregnancy complications account for majority of Emergency Medicaid costs for undocumented immigrants
A large majority of the Emergency Medicaid expenditures in North Carolina are for childbirth and complications of pregnancy for patients who are undocumented immigrants, although spending for undocumented elderly and disabled patients is increasing at a faster rate, according to a study in the March 14 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on access to... view more...

Targeting the more lethal form of the cancer rhabdomyosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive muscle cancer that mostly affects children. The most common forms of RMS are embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS). view more (2009-05-26)
Transgene Aspen And Cloned Karelian Birch
Long ago genetic engineering got deep reach into pharmacological and food industry, agriculture and medicine. The trees are no exclusion, but genetic engineers started to deal with them approximately ten years later than with other objects: the trees are too difficult for genetic investigations and manipulations. The wood plant genetic engineering... view more... (2003-06-16)
New genetic study of Asperger syndrome, autistic traits and empathy
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have identified 27 genes that are associated with either Asperger Syndrome (AS) and/or autistic traits and/or empathy. view more (2009-07-15)
Functional foods offer hope for fighting infections
Upset stomachs and gut diseases are a common problem amongst our increasingly elderly population, but now help may be on hand using friendly bacteria isolated from the intestines of healthy elderly individuals, according to scientists speaking today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity... view more...

Alarming growth in expected CO2 emissions in China, finds UC analysis
The growth in China's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is far outpacing previous estimates, making the goal of stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gases even more difficult, according to a new analysis by economists at the University of California, Berkeley, and UC San Diego. view more (2008-03-11)
Novel living system recreates predator-prey interaction
The hunter-versus-hunted phenomenon exemplified by a pack of lionesses chasing down a lonely gazelle has been recreated in a Petri dish with lowly bacteria. view more (2008-04-14)
Intrinsic eye protein halts angiogenesis
Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati, of the University of Kentucky, and Dr. Balamurali Ambati, of the Medical College of Georgia, have jointly published a paper in the journal Nature detailing major research discoveries in corneal avascularity and angiogenesis. view more (2006-10-19)
Disease-impact models may rely on incorrect assumptions
Even when we know how a disease affects individual animals, it is challenging to predict what impact it will have on the whole population, and yet predicting how disease affects a population is a primary concern for wildlife conservation and even public health. view more (2006-04-13)
Genes behind animal growth discovered
An advance in genomics, the ID of growth genes in oysters has relevance for farming and aquaculture. view more (2007-01-30)
Climate change could trigger 'boom and bust' population cycles leading to extinction
Climate change could trigger "boom and bust" population cycles that make animal species more vulnerable to extinction. , according to Christopher C. Wilmers, an assistant professor of environmental studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. view more (2007-04-17)
Which came first, the moth or the cactus?
It's not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket- unless you're a senita moth. view more (2007-08-15)
