Research suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy could save millions in treating victims of stroke, epilepsy, and spinal cord injury. The therapy increases blood oxygen levels and may prevent reperfusion injuries by modulating the immune system.
Researchers have created transgenic mice that can see over a range of about 360 nanometers, more than humans or old world primates. The mice will be used to investigate scientific questions related to the nervous system's adaptability and how neurons connect to new information.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered that HIV depends on the moving parts of a cell's surface to enter the cell. The findings suggest that clustering transmits signals to the cell that could be important for HIV replication.
Researchers at Jefferson University have identified a crucial mechanism of the tumor-suppressor protein Fhit, which plays a significant role in preventing cancer development. By understanding how Fhit works, scientists may be able to find ways to interfere with cancer growth and potentially develop new treatments.
