Small molecule offers big hope against cancer
DCA is an odourless, colourless, inexpensive, relatively non-toxic, small molecule. And researchers at the University of Alberta believe it may soon be used as an effective treatment for many forms of cancer. view more (2007-01-17)
Removing DNA repair gene causes metabolic syndrome
Removing a gene involved in repairing damaged DNA causes mice to develop the metabolic syndrome, researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have discovered. view more (2006-02-09)
Ketogenic diet prevents seizures by enhancing brain energy production, increasing neuron stability
Although the high-fat, calorie-restricted ketogenic diet (KD) has long been used to prevent childhood epileptic seizures that are unresponsive to drugs, physicians have not really understood exactly why the diet works. view more (2005-11-14)
Rising ocean temperatures, pollution have oysters in hot water
Oysters exposed to high water temperatures and a common heavy metal are unable to obtain sufficient oxygen and convert it to cellular energy. view more (2006-10-11)
Ginkgo biloba extract: More than just for memory?
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center say they now have a clearer picture of how an extract from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree reduces the risk of aggressive cancer in animal experiments. view more (2006-02-24)
Lactic acid not athlete's poison, but an energy source-if you know how to use it
In the lore of marathoners and extreme athletes, lactic acid is poison, a waste product that builds up in the muscles and leads to muscle fatigue, reduced performance and pain. view more (2006-04-20)
Adaptation to oxygen deprivation elucidates tumor physiology
Two new studies in the March Cell Metabolism reveal a survival mechanism by which cells adapt to oxygen starvation by ratcheting down their demand. view more (2006-03-08)
Second low-oxygen pathway hints at cancer, cardiovascular disease physiology
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a second molecular pathway that promotes cell survival in low-oxygen conditions. view more (2006-02-17)
Scientists discover how coffee can reduce risk of pancreatitis
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how coffee can reduce the risk of alcohol-induced pancreatitis. view more (2006-03-14)
Anti-aging hormone reduces reactive oxygen species
Scientists recently discovered an anti-aging hormone called Klotho. Now, a new study shows that this protein acts by increasing the cell's ability to detoxify harmful reactive oxygen species. view more (2005-11-04)
Woolly mammoth genome comes to life
A McMaster University geneticist, in collaboration with genome researchers from Penn State University and the American Museum of Natural History has made history by mapping a portion of the woolly mammoth's genome. view more (2005-12-23)
Damage from oxygen may be one cause of Parkinson's disease
Research by neuroscientists at the University of Virginia Health System shows that oxygen free radicals are damaging proteins in mitochondria, the tiny cellular 'batteries' of brain cells. view more (2006-05-17)
Alzheimer's study first to explain death of brain cells
Researchers at Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland (CHRCO) have published a new study that is the first to explain how brain cells die in patients with Alzheimer's Disease. view more (2006-03-15)
Researchers find molecular 'brake' to cell death
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have significantly refined the scientific understanding of how a cell begins the process of self-destruction—an advance they say may help in the design of more targeted cancer therapies. view more (2006-06-30)
Genetics behind developmental brain disorders may play a wider role with congenital diseases
Findings of a recent genetic study on developmental brain disorders may be the "tip of an iceberg" revealing factors involved with a number of congenital diseases, according to UC Irvine researchers. view more (2006-07-07)
Penn study finds a new role for RNA in human immune response
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have published the first study to test the role of RNA chemical modifications on immunity. view more (2005-08-24)
Proteins are key to cell death in heart disease, stroke and degenerative conditions
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have gained deeper understanding of two members of a family of proteins called caspases that play a key role in promoting apoptosis, a process in which the cell responds to external signals by essentially committing suicide. view more (2006-02-23)
New genetic model for Parkinson's disease
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden are homing in on mechanisms that may explain one set of causes for Parkinson's disease. view more (2006-07-28)
Global warming increases oyster sensitivity to pollution
Do you enjoy eating oysters on a hot sunny afternoon? Make the most of it - it may not last forever. Research has shown that global warming increases the sensitivity of oysters to metal pollution, causing a deadly threat to populations in polluted areas. view more (2005-07-12)
Lighting up the heart
A major breakthrough in research could lead to improved recovery of the heart when it is re-started after a heart attack or cardiac surgery. view more (2006-09-22)
