Nobelist discovers antidepressant protein in mouse brain
A protein that seems to be pivotal in lifting depression has been discovered by a Nobel Laureate researcher funded by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). view more (2006-01-06)
Life Threatening Gastrointestinal Tumour More Common Than Suspected
The incidence of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs), generally considered a rare sarcoma, is more than three times as high as previously believed, according to data presented in Nice at the 27th annual European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress. An accurate estimate of GIST incidence has been elusive because of diagnostic... view more... (2002-10-22)
Being obese and a couch potato may have a biological basis in the brain
Some brains may be wired to encourage fidgeting and other restless behaviors that consume calories and help control weight. view more (2006-08-14)
GABA halts stem cell production in the brain
Release of the neurotransmitter GABA by adult neuronal precursor cells that develop into neurons limits stem cell proliferation, according to a study at Yale School of Medicine in the September issue of Nature Neuroscience. view more (2005-09-02)
Has science unearthed the Holy Grail of pain relief?
Scientists studying one of nature's simplest organisms have helped to unravel the structure of a key molecule that controls pain in humans. view more (2007-07-12)
Can you hear me now? Scientists find previously unknown receptors on adult stem cells
For many years, researchers believed that stem cells in the bone marrow spent most of their existence in a slumber-like state, unaware of — and unaffected by — the daily battles fought by the body's immune system. view more (2006-06-21)
European Jeanne Loubaresse - Institut Curie Prize 2003 : Patrick Mehlen wins prize for his discovery of an original concept in apoptosis: dependence receptors
The European Jeanne Loubaresse-Institut Curie Prize for 2003 will be presented on 30 November 2004 at the Institut Curie by Professor Nicole Le Douarin, Permanent Secretary of the Académie des Sciences. The winner is Patrick Mehlen, CNRS Director of Research at the Léon-Bérard Center in Lyon, who was awarded the 60,000 euro... view more... (2004-12-02)
Tangerine Ruff 'n' Sniff: new clue to bird social behaviour
Scientists believe they have opened the door to an overlooked area of bird behaviour - the use of social scents. The basic assumption is that vision and hearing are the main senses that birds use to signal each other, e.g. the colour of plumage; the sound of birdsong. This is questioned by new experimental evidence observed in the Crested Auklet,... view more... (2003-05-12)
Inflammation may cause preterm labor and fetal deaths
Inflammation from bacterial infections is linked to preterm births and deaths, according to researchers from Case Western Reserve University's School of Dental Medicine and the Case School of Medicine. view more (2007-08-09)
UC Davis researchers discover novel pathway to increased inflammation in diabetes patients
Researchers at UC Davis Health System have discovered a novel pathway that results in increased inflammation of blood vessels in patients with type 1 diabetes. view more (2007-11-28)
“Shooting the messenger” to tackle autoimmune diseases
AIDS and other autoimmune diseases could be tackled with a range of new drugs that stop cells recognising certain chemical messages in blood, says Dr Gerry Graham from the Glasgow-based Institute for Cancer Research speaking at the BA Festival of Science today [3 September 2001]. Autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple... view more... (2001-08-30)
Gene against bacterial attack unravelled
Dutch researcher Joost Wiersinga from AMC Medical Centre in Amsterdam has unravelled a genetic defence mechanism against the lethal bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei. The research is the next step towards a vaccine against this bacterium suitable for bioweapons. view more (2008-10-29)
New study suggests mechanism of action for botox in the treatment of enlarged prostate
Botox appears to alter specific cellular processes that contribute to prostate enlargement according to new study results presented by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan at the International Continence Society annual meeting in Montreal. view more (2005-09-01)
Hopkins researchers discover how brain protein might control memory
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have figured out how one particular protein contributes to long-term memory and helps the brain remember things longer than an hour or two. view more (2006-11-13)

Genetic tags reveal secrets of memories' staying power in mice
A better understanding of how memory works is emerging from a newfound ability to link a learning experience in a mouse to consequent changes in the inner workings of its neurons. view more (2008-02-22)
Novel compounds show promise as safer, more potent insecticides
Research teams at Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd., Bayer CropScience and DuPont have developed two new classes of broad-spectrum insecticides that show promise as a safer and more effective way to fight pest insects that damage food crops. view more (2005-08-29)
Unlocking biological secrets: Cornell scientists build 'nano-keys' to bind cell receptors and trigger allergic reactions
The tumblers of life continue to click as Cornell University researchers have fabricated a set of "nano-keys" on the molecular scale to interact with receptors on cell membranes and trigger larger-scale responses within cells - such as the release of histamines in an allergic response. view more (2006-02-17)
Inflammation linked to chronic pain
An inflamed injury may increase levels of a protein responsible for persistent pain, causing the brain to mimic pain long after source has disappeared. view more (2005-12-07)
New clues to how major weight-loss drugs work
Some of the most important weight-loss drugs work by enhancing the effect of the brain chemical serotonin. These include sibutramine (trade name Meridia) and fenfluramine, which was recalled after the combination with dexfenfluramine, called fen-phen, was linked to potentially fatal heart valve abnormalities. view more (2006-07-20)
