Blood flow to brain may be clue to certain dementias
The amount of blood flowing into the brain may play a larger role in the development of dementia than previously believed, according to a study in the September issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2005-08-30)
Fatty spheres loaded with siRNA shrink ovarian cancer tumors in preclinical trial
A molecular "off" switch packaged in a tiny sphere penetrates deeply into ovarian cancer tumor cells, stifling a troublesome protein and drastically reducing the size of tumors. view more (2006-08-15)
Conscious and unconscious memory linked in storing new information
The way the brain stores new, conscious information such as a first kiss or a childhood home is strongly linked to the way the human brain stores unconscious information, researchers at Yale report this month in an article featured on the cover of Neuron. view more (2006-04-04)
New treatment option breaks Leukemia's resistance to chemotherapy, radiation therapy
German researchers set out to outwit cancer tumor cells that have become resistant to chemotherapy or radiation therapy and ended up expanding therapeutic applications of radionuclides in fighting leukemia. view more (2006-06-05)
Researchers discover stem cell 'guide' that may be key for targeting neural stem cell treatments
UC Irvine School of Medicine researchers have discovered how new neurons born from endogenous neural stem cells are sent to regions of the brain where they can replace old and dying cells, a finding that suggests how stem cell therapies can be specifically targeted to brain regions affected by neurodegenerative diseases or by stroke. view more (2005-06-24)
Clinical trial to test stem cell approach for children with brain injury
A unique clinical trial will gauge the safety and potential of treating children suffering traumatic brain injury with stem cells derived from their own bone marrow starting early next year. view more (2005-12-21)
Researchers discover new form of cancer gene regulation
The Quaking gene, first described as a mutation in mice that causes rapid tremor, is thought to suppress tumor formation and protect humans from cancer. view more (2005-11-08)
Columbia scientists develop cancer terminator viruses
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center continue to make strides in their work to develop the next generation of effective viral-based therapies for cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
Mechanism Behind Stuttering Revealed (p 380)
Stuttering is caused by a structural abnormality in the left hemisphere of the brain, according to an article in this week's LANCET. Dr Martin Sommer and colleagues from the Universities of Hamburg and Göttingen in Germany report that persistent developmental stuttering results from a disconnection of speech-related areas in the cortex.... view more...

Calorie restriction may prevent Alzheimer's through promotion of longevity program in the brain
A recent study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggests that experimental dietary regimens might calm or even reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). view more (2006-06-15)
Columbia University Medical Center researchers discover potential mechanism for tumor growth
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have identified an inherent feature of stem and progenitor cells that may promote initiation and progression of cancerous tumors. view more (2005-12-16)
Brain plays key role in diabetes therapy
The brain plays a major role in the ability of insulin therapy to lower blood sugar in animals with diabetes. view more (2006-01-11)
Researchers identify gene set linked to breast cancer's spread to lungs
In a potential advance for the treatment of aggressive breast cancer, scientists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have identified a set of genes in breast tumors that appear to predict if the disease will spread to the lungs and, once there, how virulent it will become. view more (2005-07-28)
Tumor size related to lung cancer spread
Smaller tumors in the lungs appear to be less likely to have spread than larger tumors among patients with asymptomatic lung cancer, suggesting that early screening may be useful in detecting cancers that are still curable. view more (2006-02-14)
Cedars-Sinai researchers discover treatment for deadly brain tumors and infections
In a study published in the March 15 issue of The Journal of Immunology, researchers at Board of Governors' Gene Therapeutics Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have developed a way to overcome immune privilege in the brain to eradicate potentially deadly brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme and other types of brain... view more...

New imaging compound might 'see' Alzheimer's earlier
A new imaging molecule that can detect and map plaques and tangles in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease could eventually lead to earlier diagnosis of the devastating disease, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles report in the Dec. 21, 2006, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2006-12-21)
First Parkinson's Gene Therapy Patient Passes One Year
The first ever patient to have undergone gene therapy for Parkinson's appears to have come through phase I without a hitch, suggesting that the therapy is safe and effective, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry. view more (2004-09-02)
Mice provide important clues to obsessive-compulsive disorder
Mice born without a key brain protein compulsively groom their faces until they bleed and are afraid to venture out of the corner of their cages. view more (2007-08-23)
New model to aid pancreatic cancer research
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers have developed a new animal model for pancreatic cancer that exhibits a high degree of similarity to human tumors. view more (2006-11-15)
How the brain weaves a memory
Memories of events comprise many components-including sights, sounds, smells, and tastes. Somehow the many features of an episodic memory are woven together into a coherent whole, and researchers have had little understanding of how this binding takes place as the memories are processed by the brain's memory center, the hippocampus. view more (2006-11-09)
