The research suggests that patients with achalasia of the oesophagus, associated with a loss of nerve cells in the muscle surrounding the oesophagus, may also lose nerve... view more... (2003-10-13)
USC researcher identifies stem cells in tendons that regenerate tissue in animal model
Athletes know that damage to a tendon can signal an end to their professional careers. But a consortium of scientists, led in part by University of Southern California (USC) School of Dentistry researcher Songtao Shi, has identified unique cells within the adult tendon that have stem-cell characteristics-including the ability to proliferate and... view more...

Climate warming and habitat loss threaten British Butterfly survival
Because butterflies are cold blooded, their growth and development are closely dependent on the weather and climate. When climates change insects can either shift breeding distributions to track it, stay put and adapt, or die out. Since the 1970s, climate warming in Britain has seen almost 20% of butterflies spread their ranges northwards,... view more... (2003-06-05)
Atkins-type weight loss diets under scrutiny at Rowett Research Institute
A project about to get underway at Aberdeen's Rowett Research Institute hopes to provide new insights into the use of high-protein, low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets, with a view to developing healthy, longer-term weight reduction strategies. Non-smoking obese men aged between 20-55 years and in good general health are encouraged to volunteer for... view more... (2004-07-07)
New radiation technique helps brain cancer patients keep their hair

EDINBURGH MEN SOUGHT FOR MEMORY LOSS STUDY
Professor Jonathan Seckl's team, based at the Centre for the Study of the Ageing Brain at the Western General Hospital, has already carried out research which indicates memory loss in the elderly may tie in with higher-than-normal levels of glucocorticoids, hormones which boost blood sugar levels in times of stress. The researchers believe... view more... (1999-06-21)
