Researchers discover how leukaemia virus spreads through the body
Researchers from Imperial College London, University of Oxford, Kagoshima University (Japan) and University of the Ryukyus (Japan) have discovered the mechanism by which human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the virus which causes adult T-cell leukaemia, spreads through the body. view more (2003-02-12)
Abnormal 'editing' of gene messages may be a cause of lupus
Researchers at Wake Forest University have uncovered evidence that the abnormal "editing" of gene messages in a type of white blood cell may be behind the development of lupus. view more (2008-05-20)
Budding viral hijackers may co-opt cell machinery for the getaway
When retroviruses, like HIV, infect cells, they take over the cell's machinery to manufacture new copies of themselves. Research published this week in the top-tier open access journal, Journal of Biology, shows that to escape from cells, retroviruses may once again hijack cellular components, in this case molecules normally used to engulf... view more...

U.Va. Scientists Identify 'Missing Link' in Process Leading to Alzheimer's Disease
Scientists at the University of Virginia have identified what appears to be a major missing link in the process that destroys nerve cells in Alzheimer's disease, an incurable disease that slowly destroys memory and cognitive abilities. view more (2007-02-08)
Researchers Find Defects in Adult Stem Cell Niche May Cause Breast Cancer
Researchers at Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have found that the onset of breast cancer may be due to defects in somatic adult stem cell niches that exist long before tumors develop. view more (2005-10-05)
How the pathology of Parkinson's disease spreads
Accumulation of the synaptic protein alpha-synuclein, resulting in the formation of aggregates called Lewy bodies in the brain, is a hallmark of Parkinson's and other related neurodegenerative diseases. view more (2009-07-28)
Bone marrow cell therapy may be beneficial for patients with ischemic heart disease
The injection of bone marrow cells into the heart of patients with chronic myocardial ischemia (reduced blood flow to some areas of the heart) was associated with modest improvements in blood flow and function of the left ventricle. view more (2009-05-20)

A genetic basis for schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a severely debilitating psychiatric disease that is thought to have its roots in the development of the nervous system; however, major breakthroughs linking its genetics to diagnosis, prognosis and treatment are still unrealized. view more (2009-07-22)
New antibody profiling technique to test for lung cancer
Biomedical scientists have revealed a new and promising antibody profiling technique that provides a high degree of early diagnostic accuracy for non-small cell lung cancer cases. view more (2005-11-15)
Protein helps cells duplicate correctly, avoid becoming cancer
A Purdue University researcher has discovered that the absence of certain proteins needed for proper cell duplication can lead to cancer. view more (2009-10-06)
