Larger blood reserves needed for ageing population
Larger reserves of blood will be needed as the population ages, predict researchers in this week's BMJ. They recorded the use of nearly 10,000 units of red blood cells from all NHS hospital blood banks in the north of England. More than half (52%) of all units were given to medical patients, 41% to surgical patients, and 6% to obstetric and... view more... (2002-10-09)
Elevated testosterone kills nerve cells
A Yale School of Medicine study shows for the first time that a high level of testosterone, such as that caused by the use of steroids to increase muscle mass or for replacement therapy, can lead to a catastrophic loss of brain cells. view more (2006-09-27)
Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology. view more (2007-04-25)
Preliminary study shows promise for treatment of renal cell cancer
A new study suggests that sunitinib is a promising agent for treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer, currently a disease without highly effective treatment options. view more (2006-06-07)
Dental researchers confirm microRNAs as biomarkers for oral cancer detection
A new study published by researchers at the UCLA School of Dentistry substantiates the effectiveness of measuring the microRNAs present in saliva to detect oral squamous cell carcinoma. view more (2009-08-26)
Mount Sinai Hospital researcher develops Canada's first embryonic stem cell lines
A senior scientist at Mount Sinai Hospital has developed Canada's first two human embryonic stem cell lines, giving researchers across the country new potential and hope for eventually discovering treatments and cures for many chronic and fatal diseases. view more (2005-06-08)
New research findings may enable earlier diagnosis of uterine cancer
Cancer is a genetic disease. It occurs when changes take place in the genes that regulate cell division, cell growth, cell death, cell signalling and blood vessel formation - either due to mutations caused by external factors such as smoking or radiation - or due to inherited changes. view more (2009-01-28)
DKK-3 and WIF-1: Proteins related to liver cancer development?
Liver cancer is one of the most fatal human malignancies and the third most frequent cause of tumor-related death, about half a million people globally each year. view more (2009-06-15)
Endocrine Society calls for expanded scope and funding for stem cell research
Stem cell research holds great promise for the treatment of millions of Americans with debilitating and possibly fatal diseases. view more (2009-10-28)
Alzheimer's disease as a case of brake failure?
Rutgers researcher Karl Herrup and colleagues at Case Western Reserve University have discovered that a protein that suppresses cell division in brain cells effectively "puts the brakes" on the dementia that comes with Alzheimer's disease (AD). When the brakes fail, dementia results. view more (2008-06-25)
QBI neuroscientists make Alzheimer's disease advance
Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) neuroscientists at UQ have discovered a new way to reduce neuronal loss in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-06-10)
Tumor response may not be best measure of efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer treatment
Researchers typically evaluate the effectiveness of a new cancer treatment by looking at how tumors respond to it. But in the case of advanced non-small cell lung cancer, there may be a better way to assess effectiveness. view more (2006-06-06)
Blood Stem Cell Transplantation and Autoimmune Diseases
Study of Lupus Patient Confirms Promise of Stem Cell Transplant Therapy view more (2002-05-30)
Signal molecule holds possible key to tumour growth
Immunity to a cancer in chickens could shed light on ways to control certain human cancers according to scientists from the Institute for Animal Health (IAH). Their work on Marek's disease (MD) in chickens has identified the first natural model for specific Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and is published this week in PNAS (06-10 September... view more...

A new step towards an AIDS vaccine
Progressive disease after HIV infection is inversely correlated with the presence of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), a subset of the dendritic cell family and the major producers of type 1 interferon in the body. view more (2005-10-14)
Study links Alzheimer's disease to abnormal cell division
A new study in mice suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be triggered when adult neurons try to divide. The finding helps researchers understand what goes wrong in the disease and may lead to new ways of treating it. view more (2006-01-18)
Crucial Factors in Lymphoma Development and Survival Discovered
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center have discovered an important factor in the development of B-cell lymphomas, one of the fastest growing forms of cancer. view more (2008-06-24)
Research shows promise for using stem cell transplantation to treat patients with severe lupus
About half of patients with severe lupus that was refractory to standard treatment and who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation to improve their immune system have substantial improvement in disease activity after several years. view more (2006-02-01)
The secret of internal bliss revealed
Scientists now know for sure how cannabis works in the brain. By studying naturally occuring cannabinoids they have found that cannabis 'speaks' to nerve cells instructing them to stop releasing their chemical neurotransmitters so dumbing down their effects. The upside is that it makes cannabis effective for treatment of MS but it also has a... view more... (2001-04-03)
Scientists isolate protein that may be 'boon' to medicine
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have isolated a unique protein that appears to have a dual function and could lead to a "boon in medicine." view more (2009-08-05)
