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)

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... 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'�rk 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... view more (2001-10-15)

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... 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... view more (2004-05-13)

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)

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)

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... view more (1999-06-07)

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)

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,... view more (2005-04-14)

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... view more (2003-07-30)

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... view more (2007-03-20)

Imperial College London Press Invitation - The future of research into Parkinson’s disease and tissue banking
Leading scientists from across the world will join academics and researchers from Imperial College London to discuss the future of research into Parkinson’s disease and tissue banking.   view more (2002-07-04)

Photodynamic therapy as alternative therapy for periodontal diseases may be beneficial
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) may be an effective way to treat the bacteria associated with periodontal diseases, and could provide a better option than antibiotics or other mechanical methods for treating periodontal diseases, according to a new study published in the March issue of the Journal of... view more (2007-03-07)

Heterotopic gastric tissue simulating acute appendicitis
It is not uncommon to find tissue that normally lines the stomach in locations outside of the digestive tract. This "heterotopic" gastric tissue has been identified in such diverse locations as the scrotum, the gall bladder, and the spinal cord.   view more (2008-05-21)

Developing nations may save the tropical forest
In an article this Friday (April 14) in the international magazine New Scientist, a leading rainforest biologist from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama argues that a new initiative by developing nations offers great promise to help reduce the rampant rate of tropical forest... view more (2006-04-12)

Bioengineered tissue implants regenerate damaged knee cartilage
Knee cartilage injuries can be effectively repaired by tissue engineering and osteoarthritis does not stop the regeneration process concludes research led by scientists at the University of Bristol.   view more (2006-07-05)

Kamchatka Crabs Help Heal Burns
Recoverying from third and fourth degree burns, the most damaging types, is a slow and painful process that inevitably leaves excessive scar tissue. Russian researchers have developed a pharmacological enzyme preparation to accelerate the debridement process and wound healing, which reduces the... view more (2003-09-02)

Cure for cancer one step closer
The cure for cancer is one step closer this week with the first collections of cancer tissue taking place at the new Wesley Research Institute Tissue Bank.   view more (2007-04-04)

New pathway could present an intervention point for cancer treatment
A new cellular pathway leads to destruction of a protein that promotes growth of breast, prostate and similar cancers and could provide a new avenue through which to pursue treatment of such diseases.   view more (2006-01-27)
