Utah researchers confirm chromosome may harbor autism gene
Using technology that allows DNA from thousands of genes to be collected and surveyed on a 3 x 1¬Ω-inch chip, University of Utah medical researchers have confirmed that a region on a single chromosome probably harbors a gene that causes autism. view more (2006-01-18)
Joslin-led study reveals new findings on insulin signaling in the liver
Insulin uses two distinct mechanisms to control glucose and the metabolism of blood fats (lipids) in the liver, a new Joslin Diabetes Center-led study has discovered. view more (2006-05-15)
Athletes not spared from health risks of metabolic syndrome
College-age football players who gain weight to add power to their blocks and tackles might also be setting themselves up for diabetes and heart disease later in life, a new study suggests. Nearly half of a sample of collegiate offensive and defensive linemen who underwent a battery of tests for the study had metabolic syndrome. view more (2009-01-14)

New Treatment for Post-Concussion Syndrome Pioneered at UB
ports medicine specialists in the University at Buffalo's Sports Medicine Institute have developed a new method for treating athletes who sustain post-concussion syndrome that, unlike the conventional approach, allows athletes to maintain conditioning while recovering gradually from the injury. view more (2006-10-12)
Study uncovers mutation responsible for Noonan Syndrome
Scientists have discovered that mutations in a gene known as SOS1 account for many cases of Noonan syndrome (NS), a common childhood genetic disorder which occurs in one in 1,000-2,500 live births. view more (2006-12-05)
Flip-Flopped Chromosome Reveals a First Clue to Tourette Syndrome
Researchers have identified the first gene mutation associated with Tourette syndrome-opening a new avenue for understanding the complex disorder that causes muscle and vocal tics. view more (2005-10-14)
Abnormal sleep patterns appear common in children with Down syndrome
More than half of children with Down syndrome may have abnormal sleep patterns and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and parents may not be able to determine whether their children are among those with sleep difficulties. view more (2006-04-18)
How Rett Syndrome mutation targets the brain
Researchers have pinpointed why mutations that cause Rett Syndrome (RTT)-among the leading causes of mental retardation in females-specifically target the brain rather than other body tissues. view more (2006-10-19)
Infants can organise visual information at just four months
Research investigating attention in infancy has revealed that, at just four months old, babies are able to organise visual information in at least three different ways, according to brightness, shape, and how close the visual elements are together (proximity). view more (2006-04-28)
Burgers, fries, diet soda: Metabolic syndrome blue-plate special
Otherwise-healthy adults who eat two or more servings of meat a day - the equivalent of two burger patties - increase their risk of developing metabolic syndrome by 25 percent compared with those who eat meat twice a week, according to research published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2008-01-23)
New research may explain why some who receive growth hormone therapy develop colon polyps
The use of growth hormone therapy has been linked in some people to the development of colon polyps, a possible precursor to colorectal cancer - but medical researchers have debated the extent of a cancer risk. view more (2006-04-10)
Media invitation: Launch of UCL's Centre for Human Communication
A new centre opening on the 4th June will bring together language, communication, psychology and neuroscience experts to foster new areas of research on human communication. Researchers at University College London's new centre will be studying a host of areas including grammar, perception, hearing and the genetics and patterns of language... view more... (2004-05-12)

Casting a wide net to fight coronaviruses
Coronaviruses-the family of viruses that causes the common cold-gained widespread recognition when the deadly severe acute respiratory syndrome, familiarly known as SARS, killed at least 800 people in 2003. view more (2005-09-06)
Less sugary drinks during childhood may cut disease risk
Symptoms of heart disease and diabetes usually seen in adults are increasingly being found in adolescents according to a longitudinal study, which suggests that reducing the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages during childhood may lessen the risk of chronic disease in later life. view more (2006-12-19)
New research demonstrates bone-marrow derived stem cells can reverse genetic kidney disease
The discovery that bone-marrow derived stem cells can regenerate damaged renal cells in an animal model of Alport syndrome provides a potential new strategy for managing this inherited kidney disease and offers the first example of how stem cells may be useful in repairing basement membrane matrix defects and restoring organ function. view more (2006-04-25)
Green tea may help prevent autoimmune diseases
Green tea may help protect against autoimmune disease, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2007-04-20)
Mutant gene causes severe kidney disease in infants
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School have discovered a previously unknown cause for a severe, early-onset form of kidney disease and renal failure in children: recessive mutations in a gene called phospholipase C epsilon or PLCE1. view more (2006-11-06)
