First molecular evidence of body's internal clock in controlling blood pressure
It has been known for decades that heart attacks and strokes occur most frequently in the early-morning hours. Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have provided the first evidence for the role of our body's internal molecular clock in controlling blood pressure and... view more (2007-02-20)

Burnham Researchers Turn Cancer Friend into Cancer Foe
Burnham Institute for Medical Research today announced that scientists have created a peptide that binds to Bcl-2, a protein that protects cancer cells from programmed cell death, and converts it into a cancer cell killer.   view more (2008-10-08)

Mental stress reduces blood flow to the heart in patients with gene variation
University of Florida researchers have identified a gene variation in heart disease patients who appear especially vulnerable to the physical effects of mental stress - to the point where blood flow to the heart is greatly reduced.   view more (2008-04-16)

Protein transport in mitochondria revealed
The TIM23 complex, which regulates the transport of protein to the mitochondria in a cell, is much more complicated than was previously believed. This is shown by Uppsala University researcher Maria Lind in an article in the leading journal Cell.   view more (2005-03-31)

HO-1 in sickle cell disease: friend or foe?
Researchers have unexpectedly shown that sickle cell-associated kidney injury may be reduced by inhibiting the enzyme activity of a protein that commonly confers protection in other diseased states.   view more (2006-07-20)

Partners of frequent business travellers three times as likely to suffer metal health problems

EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS OF CHILDREN LIVING IN WAR ZONES NOT RECOGNISED (PP 1790, 1801)
Health professionals need to be trained in the detection and treatment of the emotional disturbances associated with   children's exposure to war zones and political violence, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Children living in war zones are at a high... view more (2002-05-22)

New Diagnostic Faecal Test Could Identify Colorectal Cancer (p 1917)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe a new technique where the detection of a specific protein in faeces could be a marker for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is a common disease (causing around 500,000 deaths each year worldwide), and screening methods that... view more (2002-05-29)

Coping and copulation behavior may help calculate diabetes risk
Discussion of a man's background, attitude, and sexual history isn't just the fodder of Sex and The City episodes - in the future, it could also be a way of evaluating his risk of diabetes.   view more (2008-11-06)

New mechanism links smoking to lung damage
In the August 7, 2007, issue of PLoS One, researchers show how a poorly understood and previously unsuspected mechanism may be the key to understanding how life-style associated forms of oxidative stress, such as exposure to cigarette smoke, damage cells in the lungs.   view more (2007-08-07)

New research shows how chronic stress worsens neurodegenerative disease course
The evidence is accumulating on how bad stress is for health. Chronic stress can intensify inflammation and increase a person's risk for developing central nervous system infections, neurodegenerative diseases, like multiple sclerosis (MS), and other inflammatory diseases.   view more (2007-08-20)

Men are more likely than women to crave alcohol when they feel negative emotions

Stress-induced levels of corticotropin-releasing factor responsible for binge behaviour
Stressed individuals might be particularly prone to binge eating or drug addiction because of the high levels of the stress hormone corticotropin-releasing factor in their brain.   view more (2006-04-13)

Carnegie Mellon researchers discover new cell properties
Carnegie Mellon University researchers Kris Noel Dahl and Mohammad F. Islam have made a new breakthrough for children suffering from an extremely rare disease that accelerates the aging process by about seven times the normal rate.   view more (2006-06-29)

Wear and tear of stress: the psychoneurobiology of aging
Age may be more related to reactions to stress and the absence of disease rather than to a person's chronological age, say leading researchers in the fields of neurobiology and psychoneuroendocrinology.   view more (2006-08-14)

Uppsala scientists behind acclaimed health site
The health site PQL, which has been tested by Swedish Broadcasting Corporation, among others, has been shown to have a clear effect on health. For instance, treatment via the Internet counteracted stress-related reduction of DHEA, an "anti-aging" hormone. PQL is the result of several... view more (2004-05-26)
