A new metal detector to study human disease
Zinc may be a familiar dietary supplement to millions of health-conscious people, but it remains a mystery metal to scientists who study zinc's role in Alzheimer's disease, stroke and other health problems. view more (2006-03-22)
One hit of crystal meth causes birth defects: U of T study
A single prenatal dose of methamphetamine - commonly known as speed - may be enough to cause long-term neurodevelopmental problems in babies, say University of Toronto researchers. view more (2005-07-27)
Adult stem cells aid recovery in animal model of cerebral palsy
Adult stem cell therapy quickly and significantly improves recovery of motor function in an animal model for the ischemic brain injury that occurs in about 10 percent of babies with cerebral palsy, researchers report. view more (2005-10-03)
Diabetes complications rooted in faulty cell repair
University of Florida researchers say primitive cells that act like molecular maintenance men-traveling throughout the body to repair damaged blood vessels-become too rigid to move in patients with diabetes, fueling the disease's vascular complications. view more (2006-01-26)
Cord blood cells may widen treatment window for stroke
Researchers at the University of South Florida found that human umbilical cord blood cells administered to rats two days following a stroke greatly curbed the brain's inflammatory response, reducing the size of the stroke and resulting in greatly improved recovery. view more (2005-11-14)
Mayo Clinic researchers find hole in heart does not make stroke inevitable
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that - contrary to current thinking by some in the medical community - a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a small hole between the two upper chambers of the heart, does not predestine an individual to a stroke later in life. view more (2005-12-12)
Damage to sperm DNA affects older men's chances of fathering children
Damage to DNA in sperm is significantly higher in older men than in those who are younger, according to research presented today (Tuesday 21 June 2005) at the 21st annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. view more (2005-06-21)
Steroids reduce heart damage risk in children with Kawasaki's disease
When added to standard treatment, steroids significantly reduce the odds of developing heart damage in children with Kawasaki's disease, according to a study in the October issue of Pediatrics. view more (2005-10-04)
MIT develops 'Anklebot' for stroke patients
Clinical trials have already shown that an MIT robotic arm can help stroke patients regain movement faster. Now MIT pioneers in the field of robotic therapy are hoping a robotic gym full of machines targeted at different parts of the body will significantly improve stroke patients' movement in arms, wrists, hands, legs and ankles. view more (2005-07-06)
Precision biochemistry tracks DNA damage in fish
Like coal-mine canaries, fish DNA can serve as a measure of the biological impact of water and sediment pollution-or pollution clean-up. view more (2006-05-15)
Common Enzyme is a Key Player in DNA Repair
A quarter century after they discovered it, researchers have identified the job of one of the most common DNA-damage response proteins. view more (2006-01-12)
Methamphetamine use increases risks of artery tears and stroke
Methamphetamine use may be associated with increased risks of major neck artery tears and stroke, according to an article published in the December 26, 2006, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2006-12-26)
Global warming and your health
Global warming could do more to hurt your health than simply threaten summertime heat stroke, says a public health physician. view more (2006-10-24)
Oxygen deprived brains repaired and saved
Scientists from Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have found special proteins that protect the brain after it has been damaged by a lack of oxygen, which occurs in conditions such as stroke, perinatal asphyxia, near-drowning and traumatic brain injury. view more (2006-08-25)
Stem cell transplants improve recovery in animal models for stroke, cerebral palsy
A single dose of adult donor stem cells given to animals that have neurological damage similar to that experienced by adults with a stroke or newborns with cerebral palsy can significantly enhance recovery from these types of injuries, researchers say. view more (2006-04-10)
Establishing a connection between global warming and hurricane intensity
Climate change is affecting the intensity of Atlantic hurricanes, and hurricane damage will likely continue to increase because of greenhouse warming, according to a new study. view more (2006-08-16)
Fossil Patagonian plants show high insect feeding diversity 52 million years ago
South America has the most biodiversity of any major region today and according to an international team of researchers, that biodiversity began at least 52 million years ago. view more (2005-06-16)
Gold nanoparticles prove to be hot stuff
Gold nanoparticles are highly efficient and sensitive "handles" for biological molecules being manipulated and tracked by lasers, but they also can heat up fast-by tens of degrees in just a few nanoseconds-which could either damage the molecules or help study them. view more (2006-09-01)
MUHC and McGill scientists identify gene for debilitating vitamin B12 disease
Scientists at the MUHC and McGill University have identified a gene responsible for a disease that impairs the body's ability to handle vitamin B12 and that may contribute to heart disease, stroke and dementia. view more (2005-12-01)
Mechanism controlling DNA damage response has potential novel medical applications
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered a previously unrecognized mechanism that controls a key protein linked to the cell's response to stress-a finding that holds promise for new ways to enhance cancer therapies or protect cells from dying after exposure to damaging chemicals or radiation. view more (2005-10-07)
