Research linking obesity and asthma shows weight reduction may provide therapy for asthma sufferers
Research presented at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions showed that therapies targeting abdominal fat tissue, such as weight loss, may provide a new approach to treat asthma. view more (2005-06-13)
Gene makes muscles in the obese store more fat
The gene encoding an enzyme that hinders muscle from burning fat manufactures three times more enzyme in the muscle of obese people than lean people. view more (2005-10-12)
Swedes in favor of genetic engineering but against spread of genetic information
Swedes are becoming more and more favorably inclined toward genetic engineering. Two out of three Swedes now accept genetic engineering. This makes Swedes the people with the most favorable views in the EU. This has been demonstrated in a European research project in which three researchers from Mid Sweden University have participated, based on... view more... (2003-08-26)
Scientists discover how to isolate stem cells in womb tissue
Scientists in Australia have found a way of identifying probable stem cells in the lining of women's wombs. The finding opens up the possibility of using the stem cells for tissue engineering applications such as building up natural tissue to repair prolapsed pelvic floors. Pelvic floor prolapse is a common condition, affecting over 50% of women... view more... (2007-09-13)
Breast density associated with increased risk of cancer recurrence
A new study finds that women treated for breast cancer are at higher risk of cancer recurrence if they have dense breasts. Published in the December 15, 2009 issue of Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study's results indicate that breast cancer patients with dense breasts may benefit from additional therapies... view more...

Donating tissue - balancing patients' rights and researchers' needs
Hamburg, Germany: Doctors and scientists should be more aware of the need for informed consent to be given when tissue is donated, a pharmaceutical industry lawyer said today (Thursday March 18). Speaking at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference, Dr. Caroline Trouet, who is also professor of health law at the... view more... (2004-03-16)
Woven scaffolds could improve cartilage repair
Using a unique weaving machine of their design, Duke University Medical Center researchers have created a three-dimensional fabric "scaffold" that could greatly improve the ability of physicians to repair damaged joints with the patient's own stem cells. view more (2007-02-07)
Scientists ask whether microscaffolding can help stem cells rebuild brain after stroke damage
Inserting tiny scaffolding into the brain could dramatically reduce damage caused by strokes the UK National Stem Cell Network Annual Science Meeting will hear today (10 April). view more (2008-04-10)
Students Face Navy Challenge
Students from across the region were given the ultimate test when they serviced the parts of a Sea-King helicopter at the University of Bradford recently. Around 70 Year-11 and Year-12 students from seven schools across the region took part in the event. The schools were: Oak Bank, Oakworth, near Haworth; South Craven, Cross Hills, Keighley;... view more... (2003-01-14)
Tissue engineering technique does not cause tumor growth
A gene therapy approach used in creating new arteries for older patients does not appear to cause cancer, according to a pilot study by Yale School of Medicine researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-03-01)
LSU Engineers model forecasts chemical contaminants based on Katrina-flooded homes
A recent study by LSU engineers suggests that Katrina-flooded homes may contain harmful levels of contaminants, particularly aerosols and gases, which could expose first-responders, residents and any others entering such homes to serious and lasting health risks. The results could also be applied to similar flooding events that might occur in the... view more... (2009-02-05)
Stanford doctors advance in bid to turn mice stem cells into blood vessels
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have taken a first step toward growing blood vessels from stem cells that could eventually be transplanted into living organisms. view more (2006-06-22)
Engineering electrically conducting tissue for the heart
Patients with complete heart block, or disrupted electrical conduction in their hearts, are at risk for life-threatening rhythm disturbances and heart failure. view more (2006-06-19)
Nanoparticle created to attack cardiovascular plaque
Scientists and engineers at UC Santa Barbara and the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have developed a nanoparticle that can attack plaque-a major cause of cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-06-08)
Planet-sized solutions for global warming: International experts evaluate the options
Big ideas for reducing the impacts of climate change are being evaluated by an international line-up of leading scientists from the US, mainland Europe and the UK at a symposium in Cambridge this week. The scientists are coming together to evaluate which large-scale bio-engineering, geo-engineering and chemical engineering ideas to combat global... view more... (2004-01-05)
£180K for Plymouth to lead national coastal research networks
Researchers at the Universities of Plymouth, Strathclyde and Edinburgh have been awarded £180,000 from the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council to co-ordinate coastal engineering research across the UK into areas such as coastal defences, coastal flooding and erosion and the effects of global warming on the coastal zone. view more (2002-05-08)
Measuring nitrate concentrations in leafy green vegetables
Leafy green vegetables such as lettuce, Asian greens, and spinach can accumulate high concentrations of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), which are potentially harmful if consumed by humans. view more (2009-09-09)
Diabetes researchers gather in Brighton
Diabetes affects up to 20 million people in the EU and is becoming increasingly prevalent among the aged. The disease is associated with a high incidence of secondary complications including, blindness, kidney failure and strokes. The primary cause of diabetes is the loss or impaired function of insulin-producing cells located in the islets of the... view more... (1999-02-01)
