A new cellular pathway linked to cancer is identified by NYU researchers
In the life of a cell, the response to DNA damage determines whether the cell is fated to pause and repair itself, commit suicide, or grow uncontrollably, a route leading to cancer. view more (2008-07-25)
Eating and weight gain not necessarily linked, study shows
A new study shows that increased eating does not necessarily lead to increased fat. The finding in the much-studied roundworm opens the possibility of identifying new targets for drugs to control weight, the researchers say. view more (2008-06-04)
Analysis of alcoholics' brains suggests treatment target
An analysis of brain tissue samples from chronic alcoholics reveals changes that occur at the molecular level in alcohol abuse - and suggests a potential treatment target, according to researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine. view more (2008-05-05)
Researchers identify mechanism used by gene to promote metastasis in human cancer cells
Virginia Commonwealth University Institute of Molecular Medicine and VCU Massey Cancer Center researchers have discovered how a gene, melanoma differentiation associated gene-9/syntenin (mda-9/syntenin), interacts with an important signaling protein to promote metastasis in human melanoma cells, a discovery that could one day lead to the... view more...

Reward-stress link points to new targets for treating addiction
Rewarding and stressful signals don't seem to have much in common. But researchers studying diseases ranging from drug addiction to anxiety disorders are finding that the brain's reward and stress signaling circuits are intertwined in complex ways. view more (2008-12-17)
MIT researchers unravel bacteria communication pathways
MIT researchers have figured out how bacteria ensure that they respond correctly to hundreds of incoming signals from their environment. view more (2008-06-13)
2-drug combination appears safe and active in metastatic kidney cancer
Fox Chase Cancer Center investigators report that a two-drug blockade of mTOR signaling appears safe in metastatic kidney cancer in a phase I trial. view more (2009-06-01)
Mechanism of nicotine's learning effects explored
While nicotine is highly addictive, researchers have also shown the drug to enhance learning and memory—a property that has launched efforts to develop nicotine-like drugs to treat cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, schizophrenia, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. view more (2007-04-05)
New research identifies gene important for nicotine's effects on the brain
New research identifies an important gene that influences several aspects of nicotine-induced behaviors in the brain. The study, funded by National Institutes of Drug Abuse, was presented today at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology's Annual Meeting. view more (2006-12-06)
Apelin to rescue diabetics
Sugar is naturally present in the blood in the form of glucose and is stored in the liver or adipose tissue (fat) thanks to the action of insulin. Glucose is stored or directly used to ensure satisfactory function of the heart, brain and so on according to the body's demands. view more (2008-11-05)
More reliable and secure telecommunications via the Internet
Professor Anna Brunström, Karlstad University, is heading a research project that will lead to more reliable and secure telecommunications via the Internet. Reliability is an important aspect when telephony moves over to the Internet, so-called IP-telephony. Today there are three different nets: for telephony, for the Internet, and for... view more...

Study Finds Anthrax Toxins Also Harmful To Fruit Flies
Deadly and damaging toxins that allow anthrax to cause disease and death in mammals have similar toxic effects in fruit flies, according to a study conducted by biologists at the University of California, San Diego. view more (2006-01-31)
Protein holds back growth of head and neck tumors
A protein associated with the growth of head and neck tumors may be a tumor suppressor that could prevent the spread of cancer when it is expressed above normal levels. view more (2006-02-01)
Scientists take next step in understanding potential target for Ovarian cancer treatment
A traffic cop protein in the cell may have an even more important role: transporting a messenger protein that tells components in the nucleus to stop cell growth. The discovery of this additional role may lead to diagnostic tools and earlier treatments for ovarian cancer. view more (2007-07-17)
PLoS Biology Press Release: Hypoxia Offsets Damage from Oxygen Therapy, Real Time Microscopy Tracks Developing T Cells, and More
Hypoxia Can Offset the Potentially Damaging Effects of Oxygen Therapy Physicians well know that too little oxygen (hypoxia) causes headaches, nausea, and eventually death. But too much oxygen (hyperoxia) kills, too. In a new study in the open-access journal PLoS Biology, a team led by Michail Sitkovsky show that oxygenation weakens a... view more... (2005-04-27)
Mechanism in cells that generate malignant brain tumors may offer target for gene therapy
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute who first isolated cancer stem cells in adult brain tumors in 2004 have now identified a molecular mechanism that is involved in the development of these cells from which malignant brain tumors may originate. view more (2008-10-27)
Scientists uncover Ebola cell-invasion strategy
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have discovered a key biochemical link in the process by which the Ebola Zaire virus infects cells - a critical step to finding a way to treat the deadly disease produced by the virus. view more (2008-09-04)
New Pathway for Professional Progression and Promotion for FE Teachers Launched
The University of Warwick's new Centre for Lifelong Learning has just launched a new Foundation Degree in Post-Compulsory Education and Training which will also be a key element in a new professional pathway for FE teachers and others involved in post compulsory education and training. There is a statutory requirement for all new entrants to... view more... (2002-11-19)
Scientists link genetic pathway to development of hearing
Scientists are one step closer to understanding the genetic pathway involved in the development of hearing. view more (2005-08-19)
Scientists discover age-regulated cellular activities that protect against protein aggregation
Alzheimer's disease now strikes more than one in 30 Americans, and about half the population that lives past 85 acquires Alzheimer's. view more (2006-08-14)
