New stem cell research unlocks unknown therapies
"Stem cell research and regenerative medicine are in an extremely exciting phase right now. We are gaining knowledge very fast and many companies are being formed and are starting clinical trials in different areas," says Dr Jonas Frisén. view more (2009-05-22)
Umbilical cord clamping should be delayed, says expert
Clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord should be delayed for three minutes after birth, particularly for pre-term infants, suggests a senior doctor in this week's BMJ. view more (2007-08-17)
The pepperoni pizza hypothesis
What's the worst that could happen after eating a slice of pepperoni pizza? A little heartburn, for most people. view more (2008-09-12)
Nanomedicine opens the way for nerve cell regeneration
The ability to regenerate nerve cells in the body could reduce the effects of trauma and disease in a dramatic way. In two presentations at the NSTI Nanotech 2007 Conference, researchers describe the use of nanotechnology to enhance the regeneration of nerve cells. view more (2007-05-21)
New study proves that pain is not a symptom of arthritis, pain causes arthritis
Pain is more than a symptom of osteoarthritis, it is an inherent and damaging part of the disease itself, according to a study published today in journal Arthritis and Rheumatism. view more (2008-09-30)
Neuronal survival and axonal regrowth obtained in vitro
While repair of the central nervous system has long been considered impossible, French researchers from Inserm, the CNRS and the UPMC have just developed a strategy that could promote neuronal regeneration after injury. The in vitro studies have just been published in the journal PLoS ONE. view more (2009-07-27)
Forsyth scientists discover early key to regeneration
Science may be one step closer to understanding how a limb can be grown or a spinal cord can be repaired. Scientists at The Forsyth Institute have discovered that some cells have to die for regeneration to occur. view more (2006-12-13)
Silver cars are safest
Silver cars are less likely to be involved in a crash resulting in serious injury than cars of other colours, finds a study in this week's Christmas issue of the BMJ. Researchers in New Zealand examined the effect of car colour on the risk of a serious injury in over 1,000 drivers who took part in the Auckland car crash injury study between 1998... view more...

3 proteins may play important role in nerve-cell repair
Some mature brain cells can grow new extensions when the amount of three particular proteins on their surface increases, a new study shows. view more (2007-04-12)
Spacer insertion may offer less invasive option for lumbar problems
Implanting a small spacer between lumbar vertebrae during a procedure called interspinous process decompression may be an effective and minimally invasive way to treat spinal stenosis, according to a new report. view more (2006-11-29)
Potential pathway for drug intervention
A newly identified molecular pathway that directs stem cells to produce glial cells yields insights into the neurobiology of Down's syndrome and a number of central nervous system disorders characterized by too many glial cells, according to a recent study by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. view more (2009-03-16)
Researchers discover a protein responsible for shaping the nervous system
A team of researchers led by The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), the University of Toronto (U of T) and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have discovered a protein that is responsible for shaping the nervous system. view more (2005-12-08)
UCSF surgeon develops new spinal surgery technique
Called a lateral paramedian transpedicular approach, the technique uses advances in spinal instrumentation and reconstructive strategies to provide a direct approach to the removal of cervical spinal tumors with minimal, or no, neural manipulation. view more (2005-11-07)
Key to avoiding whiplash injury may lie in head restraint positioning
The study by Brian Stemper, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurosurgery, resulted in the most comprehensively validated computer model for whiplash reported in scientific literature. view more (2006-12-12)
Gel that halves wound healing times wins Medical Futures award
A bio-active gel developed by UCL scientists that is capable of healing wounds in half the time it takes currently, has won the award for the Best Biotechnology Start-Up at the Medical Futures Innovation Awards in London. Nexagon works by speeding up the rate of wound closure and reducing inflammation, and the UCL team believes that the gel has a... view more... (2003-11-03)
LAUGHING GAS - A FASHIONABLE RECREATIONAL DRUG? (p 1347)
Issue 19 April 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 18 April 2003 New Zealand authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET report how laughing gas may be a popular recreational drug among young people. This could have implications for public health, as a case report in THE LANCET last year highlighted how excessive use of... view more... (2003-04-16)
Clinical study results using Aldagen's product to isolate cord blood stem cells presented at ASH
Aldagen, Inc. today announced the presentation of data from a clinical trial using its ALDESORT® product to isolate stem cells from cord blood. The trial is being conducted by Joanne Kurtzberg, MD, the Duke University physician who pioneered the use of umbilical cord blood as a treatment for fatal childhood cancers and genetic diseases in... view more...

Scoliosis in children detectable with ordinary light
Lateral curvature of the spine can now be detected without the use of X-rays. Tom Huysmans of K.U.Leuven's Department of Biomechanics and Graphic Design has developed a technique using ordinary light which approaches the precision of radiology. The technique is important for research into scoliosis, a spinal column deformity affecting 2% of... view more... (2004-06-11)
Mutation may cause inherited neuropathy
Mutations in a protein called dynein, required for the proper functioning of sensory nerve cells, can cause defects in mice that may provide crucial clues leading to better treatments for a human nerve disorder known as peripheral neuropathy, which affects about three percent of all those over age 60. view more (2007-12-26)
Motor nerve targeting to limb muscles is controlled by ephrin proteins
A study from a team of researchers including Dr. Artur Kania, Director of the Neural Circuit Development Research Unit at the IRCM, and Dr. Dayana Krawchuk, postdoctoral fellow, shows how a family of proteins present in the developing limb control nerve targeting from the spinal cord to the muscles of the limb. view more (2008-12-29)
