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 hydrolysis of proteins, which make the basis of the... view more... (2003-09-26)
FDG-PET accurate for evaluating lung tumor destruction from radiofrequency ablation
FDG-PET can be used to assess the amount of tumor destruction after radiofrequency ablation (RFA)-the use of heat to destroy tumors-for the treatment of lung tumors and may provide more valuable information than CT alone, according to a new study. view more (2006-05-01)
Aid and health experts call for Government to support humanitarian capacity to respond to weapons of mass destruction
The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Merlin, the charity that provides healthcare for people in crises, have completed a study of the potential humanitarian response to the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). In the detailed paper we call for the Government to support an independent group of NGOs to prepare for a response... view more... (2003-01-09)
Saving teeth by using periodontal ligament regeneration
Teeth may fall out as a result of inflammation and subsequent destruction of the tissues supporting the teeth. Dutch researcher Agnes Berendsen has investigated a possible solution to this problem. view more (2008-06-05)
Anti-inflammatory drug blocks brain plaques
Brain destruction in Alzheimer's disease is caused by the build-up of a protein called amyloid beta in the brain, which triggers damaging inflammation and the destruction of nerve cells. view more (2008-06-24)
A molecule impedes the destruction of the 'Brucella' bacteria
Research carried out with the participation of the University of Navarra has shown how a determinate molecule helps an important pathogen, Brucella abortus, escape destruction within the cells charged with eliminating infectious agents (macrophages). view more (2005-06-15)
Slow Electrons are "killing" Ozone
Outstanding new discoveries in ion physics Innsbruck/Vienna (Austrian Science Fund) - Tilmann M'Īrk from the Institute of Ion Physics at the University of Innsbruck and his team have, with the support of the Austrian Science Fund, developed unique methods and equipment to examine the interaction of electrons with atoms, molecules and clusters. And... view more... (2001-10-15)
New link found between osteoporosis and coeliac disease
People with coeliac disease may develop osteoporosis because their immune system attacks their bone tissue, a new study has shown. view more (2009-10-08)
Hopes of a New Treatment Approach for Paralysis
Scientists at the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg) were recently able to show in experiments with mice that a paralysis can be reversed by blocking programmed cell death. Paralysis in the form of paraplegia and quadriplegia is usually the result of traumatic spinal cord injuries, but can also be caused... view more... (2004-03-15)
Immunotherapy for Cancer: Inflammations Open up Access to Tumours
Although the immune system potentially recognizes tumour cells as foreign and destroys them, vaccination therapies have so far been disappointing. Malignant tumours seem to establish a special environment that blocks access for immune cells. However, an experimentally induced inflammation can overcome the tumour's intrinsic resistance for... view more... (2004-05-13)
Resolvins have the potential to resolve periodontal inflammation and restore tissue health
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic inflammation initiated by bacteria that affect the gums and bone supporting the teeth, and may eventually result in tissue and tooth loss. view more (2009-04-06)
Volcanic aerosol clouds and gases lead to ozone destruction
Volcanic eruptions destroy ozone and create 'mini-ozone holes', according to two new studies by researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford. view more (2006-11-09)
Paradigm shift: Switch for programmed cell death promotes spread of glioblastoma
Malignant tumors have usually lost their ability to destroy themselves by programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Therefore, tumors are often resistant to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, whose effect is based on forcing tumor cells to commit suicide. view more (2008-03-12)
Green tea compound may be a therapy for people with rheumatoid arthritis
A new study from the University of Michigan Health System suggests that a compound in green tea may provide therapeutic benefits to people with rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2007-04-30)
BBSRC regrets destruction of GM crop
The crops were destroyed at the orders of the farm's trustees but BBSRC maintains that there is absolutely no scientific justification for this destruction as there was no risk of cross-pollination with: - organic oilseed rape, as it is not grown in the UK>
- any of the other Brassica crops capable of cross-pollinating with... view more... (1999-06-07)
Lund University part of EU project on global land destruction
The EU is now entering an agreement with Lund University regarding research into the desertification. The background is that 40 research organizations from 16 countries recently gathered in Madrid to launch an EU project (DeSurvey) about land degradation and desertification in Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America. The EU funding is about SEK 75... view more... (2005-04-14)
Cryopreservation techniques bring hopes for women cancer victims and endangered species
Emerging cryopreservation techniques are increasing hope of restoring fertility for women after diseases such as ovarian cancer that lead to destruction of reproductive tissue. view more (2008-09-10)
Researchers hot on the trail of brain cell degeneration
A research team headed by Academy Research Fellow Michael Courtney has identified a new molecular pathway in neurons. The pathway is a factor in the degeneration of brain cells, which in turn plays an important role in neurological conditions and diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and stroke. view more (2007-03-20)
Why Do Patients Choose Not To Donate Tissue?
When patients have adequate information, donating surgically removed human tissue to commercial research is not a contentious issue, finds a study in this week's BMJ. At Peterborough District Hospital, a trained nurse interviews patients before their operation and, with consent, surplus tissue is collected and supplied for commercial research.... view more...
