A natural chemical found in strawberries boosts memory in healthy mice
Mothers have long exhorted their children to eat their fruit and vegetables. But once kids are beyond mom's watchful eye, the hated greens often go the way of Barbie dolls and power rangers. Now, there's another reason to reach for colorful fruits past adolescence. view more (2006-10-18)
Myelin to Blame for Many Neuropsychiatric Disorders
What makes the human brain unique? Of the many explanations that can be offered, one that doesn't come readily to mind is - myelin. view more (2006-11-22)
Similar stem cells in insect and human gut
Scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Embryology have found that adult fruitflies have the same stem cells controlling cell regulation in their gut as humans do. view more (2005-12-08)
Study sheds light on signaling mechanism in stem cells, cancer
UCSF scientists have illuminated a key step in a signaling pathway that helps orchestrate embryonic development. view more (2005-10-26)
Protein holds back growth of head and neck tumors
A protein associated with the growth of head and neck tumors may be a tumor suppressor that could prevent the spread of cancer when it is expressed above normal levels. view more (2006-02-01)
Sleep chemical central to effectiveness of deep brain stimulation
A brain chemical that makes us sleepy also appears to play a central role in the success of deep brain stimulation to ease symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease and other brain disorders. The surprising finding is outlined in a paper published online Dec. 23 in Nature Medicine. view more (2007-12-26)
New key brain target of fat hormone
Researchers have identified a new area of the brain that responds to the fat hormone leptin in regulating body weight and energy expenditure. view more (2006-01-19)
Researchers identify target for therapeutic drugs to fight most common adult brain cancer
A research team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has discovered a cell-signaling mechanism instrumental in the most common brain cancer in adults. view more (2006-01-16)
The hormone of darkness: melatonin could hurt memory formation at night
What do you do when a naturally occurring hormone in your body turns against you? What do you do when that same hormone - melatonin - is a popular supplement you take to help you sleep? A University of Houston professor and his team of researchers may have some answers. view more (2007-11-16)
Infection-fighting protein could be key to autoimmune disease, say U-M scientists
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School have discovered that a protein called cryopyrin responds to invading bacteria by triggering the activation of a powerful inflammatory molecule called IL-1beta, which signals the immune system to attack pathogens and induces fever to protect the body against infection. view more (2006-01-12)
Researchers discover how acid reflux leads to esophageal cancer
A particular enzyme is significantly higher in cancer cells that have been exposed to acid, leading to the overproduction of hydrogen peroxide, and offering a possible explanation for how acid reflux may lead to cancer of the esophagus, according to a recent study in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. view more (2006-08-17)
No-Mow Grass May Be Coming to Your Yard Soon
For anyone tethered to a lawnmower, the Holy Grail of horticultural accomplishment would be grass that never grows but is always green. view more (2006-05-08)
Tissue stiffness drives tumor formation
The relationship between tissue rigidity and tumor formation is fairly well established; however, what is not so well understood is what happens on a molecular level that contributes to such stiffness. view more (2005-09-23)
Insects and mammals share common fat-building pathway, study suggests
When it comes to gaining fat, insects and mammals may have something in common, researchers report in the Jan. 11, 2006, Cell Metabolism. view more (2006-01-11)
GABA halts stem cell production in the brain
Release of the neurotransmitter GABA by adult neuronal precursor cells that develop into neurons limits stem cell proliferation, according to a study at Yale School of Medicine in the September issue of Nature Neuroscience. view more (2005-09-02)
Plague agent helps UT Southwestern researchers find novel signaling system in cells
The bacterium that causes bubonic plague would seem unlikely to help medical scientists, but researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have harnessed it to uncover a new regulatory mechanism that inhibits the immune system. view more (2006-05-26)
Nasty bacteria need sunlight to do their worst
Certain types of bacteria have sunlight-sensing molecules similar to those found in plants, according to a new study. Surprisingly, at least one species-responsible for causing the flu-like disorder Brucellosis-needs light to maximize its virulence. The work suggests an entirely new model for bacterial virulence based on light sensitivity. view more (2007-08-24)
How does a zebrafish grow a new tail?
If a zebrafish loses a chunk of its tail fin, it'll grow back within a week. Like lizards, newts, and frogs, a zebrafish can replace surprisingly complex body parts. A tail fin, for example, has many different types of cells and is a very intricate structure. It is the fish version of an arm or leg. view more (2006-12-27)
Study details hepatitis C ability to block immune system response
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a worldwide public health problem. The World Health Organization estimates that 170 million people worldwide are chronically infected and that between 3-4 million are newly infected annually. view more (2006-05-19)
Research uncovers signaling pathways related to brain-immune system links
New research on signaling pathways in immune cells bolsters evidence of connections between the central nervous system and the immune system. view more (2006-05-16)
