Enzyme action creates protein linked to Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have defined a key step in the production of beta-amyloid, a short protein that is thought to be responsible for the development of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-08-15)
Stress significantly hastens progression of Alzheimer's disease
Stress hormones appear to rapidly exacerbate the formation of brain lesions that are the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, according to researchers at UC Irvine. view more (2006-08-30)
Study shows fruit and vegetable juice consumption may reduce risk of Alzheimer's disease
Drinking fruit and vegetable juices frequently may delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-09-01)
New discovery may help doctors treat infertility
New research suggests that medications commonly referred to as fertility drugs may be ineffective for women who lack a gene called the estrogen receptor beta. view more (2005-07-21)
How to grow muscle cells in a dish
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are a crucial cellular component of many parts of the body, including blood vessels, the intestines, and the lungs. view more (2006-11-10)
Human beta-cell line offers hope for type 1 diabetes breakthrough
Transplantation of insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells shows great promise as a treatment for type 1 diabetes, but development of this therapy has been hampered by a severe shortage of donor beta-cells, which are obtained from decreased human donors. view more (2005-09-27)
Testosterone therapy may prevent Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the University of Southern California have discovered a direct link between loss of testosterone and the development of an Alzheimer's-like disease in mice. They also discovered that testosterone treatment slows progression of the disease. view more (2006-12-20)
Enzyme shreds Alzheimer's protein
An enzyme found naturally in the brain snips apart the protein that forms the sludge called amyloid plaque that is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), researchers have found. view more (2006-09-21)
Deadly infectious entity of prions discovered
The mysterious, highly infectious prions, which cause the severe destruction of the brain that characterizes "mad cow disease" and several human brain degenerative disorders, can be rendered harmless in the laboratory by a slight alternation of the three-dimensional conformation or shape of the prion protein's structure. view more (2005-06-10)
LIAI scientists make major finding on potential cure for type 1 diabetes
A major finding, which represents an important step toward a potential cure for type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, has been made by a research team at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI). view more (2006-04-21)
Researchers discover how a high-fat diet causes type 2 diabetes
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered a molecular link between a high-fat, Western-style diet, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. view more (2005-12-29)
Study in Science holds promise for a new approach to drug therapy
Researchers believe they have found a way to change the action of 60 percent of currently available medications, in some cases making them many times more effective. view more (2006-04-21)
Region of DNA strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease
An international team of researchers, led by investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, are zeroing in on a gene that increases risk for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-01-11)
Study points to molecular origin of neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington's disease
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine points to the possible molecular origin of at least nine human diseases of nervous system degeneration. view more (2005-09-26)
Researchers get closer to preventing Alzheimer's disease
A recent study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine identifies a faulty molecule in the brain found in cases of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). view more (2006-07-06)
A link between obesity and memory? Saint Louis University research makes the connection
Scientists have wondered why obese patients who have diabetes also may have problems with their long-term memory. New Saint Louis University research in this month's Peptides provides a clue. view more (2006-06-15)
Obesity may be factor in accelerated type I diabetes in some patients
Obesity, long known as a cause of type II diabetes, may accelerate the onset of type 1 diabetes in some - but not all - groups of younger patients, according to research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and six clinical sites nationally. view more (2006-02-06)
Clues to the progression of Alzheimer's disease revealed in brain imaging studies
A novel imaging agent heralded for its potential to diagnose Alzheimer's disease during life is now giving researchers information never before available about how and where the disease progresses in the brain. view more (2005-11-15)
Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids-substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts-significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells. view more (2006-04-03)
Two new dusty planetary disks may be astrophysical mirrors of our Kuiper Belt
A survey by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope of 22 nearby stars has turned up two with bright debris disks that appear to be the equivalent of our own solar system's Kuiper Belt, a ring of icy rocks outside the orbit of Neptune and the source of short-period comets. view more (2006-01-20)
