European Satellites Probe a New Magnetar
On Aug. 22, 2008, NASA's Swift satellite reported multiple blasts of radiation from a rare object known as a soft gamma repeater, or SGR. view more (2009-06-17)
Uncovering the secrets of ulcer-causing bacteria
A team of researchers from Boston University, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently made a discovery that changes a long held paradigm about how bacteria move through soft gels. view more (2009-08-13)
Estrogen protects liver after traumatic injury
Researchers have identified the receptor pathway used by estrogen to decrease liver injury after trauma and hemorrhage. view more (2007-04-02)
St. Joseph's provides tissue processing services to researchers in hopes of finding a cure
A special research program at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center is providing a safe and vital research component to scientists in hopes of finding new treatments and cures for a variety of disorders. view more (2006-11-08)
University of Saskatchewan and Canadian Synchrotron researchers shed light on esophageal disease
Canadian Light Source (CLS) staff scientist Luca Quaroni and Dr. Alan Casson, Head of the Department of Surgery at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) used the synchrotron's infrared microscope to identify tissue afflicted with a condition known as Barrett's Esophagus from chemical fingerprints associated with the disease, which can lead to... view more...

Social skills, extracurricular activities in high school pay off later in life
It turns out that being voted "Most likely to succeed" in high school might actually be a good predictor of one's financial and educational success later in life. view more (2009-03-26)
Can EUS elastography help distinguish benign from malignant tissue?
A major limitation of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination is its limited capacity to determine the exact nature of a lesion. view more (2009-04-15)
Fluorescent cancer cells to guide brain surgeons
Gliomas are malignant brain tumors that arise from glial (supporting) cells of the brain. Gliomas are often resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2009-04-06)
Early detection of Alzheimer's disease a possibility
Research investigating concentrations of magnetite, a magnetic form of iron, in Alzheimer's disease tissue has produced preliminary results that suggest the possibility of developing a technique to detect Alzheimer's disease before clinical symptoms appear. The research*, published in Biology Letters, an online supplement to the Royal Society's... view more... (2003-04-07)
Scientists find that squid beak is both hard and soft, a material that engineers want to copy
How did nature make the squid's beak super hard and sharp -- allowing it, without harm to its soft body -- to capture its prey? view more (2008-03-28)
Why the brain has 'gray matter'
By borrowing mathematical tools from theoretical physics, scientists have recently developed a theory that explains why the brain tissue of humans and other vertebrates is segregated into the familiar "gray matter" and "white matter." view more (2006-01-12)
Durability of dental fillings improves if the enzyme activity of teeth is inhibited
Composite dental fillings have one problematic feature, in that the bond between the filling and the dental tissue deteriorates over time - in fact, sometimes by as much as 50 per cent in one year. As the bond deteriorates, it may allow bacteria to enter and this brings a high risk of further tooth decay. view more (2009-02-12)
Virtual biopsy could make smear tests obsolete
Standard screening techniques involve removing small pieces of tissue - a biopsy - and examining them under a microscope. "This is traumatic, time-consuming and expensive," says Smallwood, "so we wondered if we could make a non-traumatic measurement that would tell us what the cells were doing." It turns out that they can, by measuring an... view more... (1999-04-21)
Tiny 3-D ultrasound probe guides catheter procedures
An ultrasound probe small enough to ride along at the tip of a catheter can provide physicians with clearer real-time images of soft tissue without the risks associated with conventional x-ray catheter guidance. view more (2008-08-29)
NASA's Swift, Fermi Probe Fireworks From a Flaring Gamma-Ray Star
Astronomers using NASA's Swift satellite and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope are seeing frequent blasts from a stellar remnant 30,000 light-years away. view more (2009-02-11)
Tissue rigidity promotes tumor progression
Most investigations into cancer have focused on chemical signals, but a new research study provides rare insight into how mechanical force can regulate cellular behavior. view more (2005-09-20)
Study links manic depression with brain tissue loss
People with bipolar disorder - or manic depression - suffer from an accelerated shrinking of their brain, researchers at the University of Edinburgh have found. view more (2007-07-20)
Research linking obesity and asthma shows weight reduction may provide therapy for asthma sufferers
Research presented at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions showed that therapies targeting abdominal fat tissue, such as weight loss, may provide a new approach to treat asthma. view more (2005-06-13)
Deflecting damage: Flexible electronics aid brain injury research
Flexible electronic membranes may overcome a longstanding dilemma faced by brain researchers: How to replicate injuries in the lab without destroying the electrodes that monitor how brain cells respond to physical trauma. view more (2007-04-09)
Breast density associated with increased risk of cancer recurrence
A new study finds that women treated for breast cancer are at higher risk of cancer recurrence if they have dense breasts. Published in the December 15, 2009 issue of Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study's results indicate that breast cancer patients with dense breasts may benefit from additional therapies... view more...
