Stress causes parodontis
Under stress, major proteins get actively destroyed in the parodentium. According to biologists' data, chronical stress inhibits the osseous tissue maturing process and intensifies decomposition of collagen protein and proteoglycans with the animals non-resistant to stress. Stress intensifies... view more (2003-09-26)

Aspirin discovery may improve cancer treatments
Salicylates, including aspirin, are used to treat a range of inflammatory conditions and can be used to prevent diseases such as cancer, but the way aspirin works is not yet fully understood.   view more (2007-04-06)

Unfolded proteins may protect cells from dying
When cells get stressed, their proteins go unfolded. It's a reaction with a straightforward name: the unfolded protein response. Now, new research from Rockefeller University shows that this phenomenon actually serves a protective role; rather than a sign that the cell has given up, it may be a... view more (2006-12-27)

Women suffer from anxiety and stress after birth, not only depression
Women can suffer from postnatal anxiety or stress independently of postnatal depression.   view more (2006-03-24)

Scientists discover possible link between oxidative stress and non-hereditary degenerative disease
The irreversible neurological degeneration associated with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases may be the consequence of oxidative stress-the imbalance of antioxidants and pro-oxidants in cells.   view more (2006-04-28)

Key stress protein linked to toxicities responsible for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have discovered a mechanistic link between cellular stress caused by free radicals and accumulation of misfolded proteins that lead to nerve cell injury and death in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease.   view more (2006-05-25)

Stress and emotions can negatively effect heart health
Prevention is a key message during National Heart Health month, and the American Psychological Association (APA) today released strategies to help Americans manage stress.   view more (2006-01-30)

Controlling body size by regulating the number of cells
Why are elephants bigger than mice? The main reason is that mice have fewer cells. Research published in Journal of Biology this week uncovers a key pathway that controls the number of cells in an animal, thereby controlling its size. Ernst Hafen and his colleagues from the University of... view more (2003-08-05)

Stress may help cancer cells resist treatment, research shows
Scientists from Wake Forest University School of Medicine are the first to report that the stress hormone epinephrine causes changes in prostate and breast cancer cells that may make them resistant to cell death.   view more (2007-04-11)

Ceramic/metal interface fracture toughness
Ceramic/metal joints have been increasingly applied in a wide range of engineering fields because the ceramic has stable mechanical properties at high temperature and good resistance to wear, erosion and oxidation.   view more (2005-09-29)

High levels of daily stress may result in lower risk of breast cancer
High levels of daily stress appear to result in a lower risk of developing breast cancer for the first time, says a study in this week's BMJ.   view more (2005-09-09)

A molecular basis for selective therapeutic intervention in Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease, a complex neurological disorder, has as one of its hallmarks the presence of senile plaques in the brains of affected individuals.   view more (2005-10-07)

Link between stress and heart disease may be premature
It has often been claimed that psychological stress is an important cause of heart disease, but a study in this week's BMJ shows that previous research may have been misleading. Researchers measured self-assessed stress amongst middle-aged Scottish men working in and around Glasgow in the early... view more (2002-05-22)

Women suffer less stress than men thanks to their hormones, according to study
Women seem to be less susceptible than men to stress and serious stress-related illnesses because of the protective properties of the sex hormone oestrogen, according to a recent study of nurses by the University of Greenwich. The study indicates that oestrogen reduces the production of stress... view more (2002-10-15)

Chronic stress, depression and cortisol levels are potential risk indicators for periodontal disease
Caregivers of people under psychological or physical stress, as well as those with the conditions themselves, should not overlook their oral health, according to a new study printed in the Journal of Periodontology.   view more (2006-06-01)

Why does stress make us ill?
How stress can make people ill was explored in a symposium organised by Professor Andrew Steptoe, University College London and Dr Marcel Ebrecht, Kings College London, today, Friday 7 September, at the joint British Psychological Society’s Division of Health Psychology and European Health... view more (2001-08-31)

Researchers shed light on mechanism of action used by anti-cancer drug
Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center researchers have uncovered a new mechanism of action of the anti-cancer drug sorafenib, which could stimulate the development of novel regimens in which it is combined with other molecularly targeted agents for patients with blood cancers and... view more (2007-06-12)

Reductive stress linked to heart disease
Antioxidants are widely considered an important defense against heart disease, but University of Utah researchers have found excessive levels of one antioxidant-reduced glutathione-actually may contribute to the disease.   view more (2007-08-10)

Losing consciousness can stop you getting posttraumatic stress disorder
Accident victims who suffer a severe head injury are more likely to develop posttraumatic stress disorder if they remain conscious during their ordeal, according to research published in BMC Psychiatry this week. Unconsciousness probably protects people from posttraumatic stress disorder by... view more (2004-03-05)

Stress could damage DNA
A ground-breaking experiment has suggested that a certain type of stress could actually damage humans' DNA.   view more (2004-08-23)

Neurogenesis in the adult brain: The association with stress and depression
The brain is the key organ in the response to stress. Brain reactions determine what in the world is threatening and might be stressful for us, and regulate the stress responses that can be either adaptive or maladaptive.   view more (2008-07-09)

Work stress leads to heart disease and diabetes
Stress at work is an important risk factor for the development of heart disease and diabetes, finds a study published online by the BMJ today.   view more (2006-01-20)

Third of eye strain complaints about computer monitors indicate workplace dissatisfaction
One in three complaints of eye strain, attributed to computer monitors, is really about employee dissatisfaction with working conditions, suggests research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Over 200 banking employees completed three questionnaires on job stress, environmental working... view more (2001-03-12)
