Research May Provide Ways To Inhibit Cancer's Ability To Resist Treatm
A team of researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton and the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute in Toronto have discovered how a key enzyme involved in repairing DNA is put together and how it works--a development that opens up new therapies for making cancer cells more vulnerable to attack. [Funny] Police raid over home alone hamster
BERLIN: A German man who went on holiday left his stereo and lights on so that his pet hamster would not feel lonely in the empty apartment, a police spokesman said after breaking into it over fears the man may have died.The spokesman for police in Bremen said on Monday police broke open the door after being alerted by neighbours that loud music was playing non-stop for five days and the lights were left on. No one answered the door when they knocked, police said. MRI Predicts Liver Fibrosis, Study Says
Moderate to severe chronic liver disease can be predicted with the use of diffusion-weighted MRI. A recent study showed that hepatic ADC was a significant predictor of stage 2 or greater and stage 3 or greater liver fibrosis. Desertification Alters Regional Ecosystem Climate Interactions
Using advanced remote-sensing techniques from a U-2 surveillance plane and field studies, scientists from the Carnegie Institution Department of Global Ecology have for the first time determined large-scale interactions between ecosystems and the climate during the process of desertification. High Triglycerides, Other Cholesterol Raise Risk Of Stroke
People with high triglycerides and another type of cholesterol tested but not usually evaluated as part of a person's risk assessment have an increased risk of a certain type of stroke, according to research published in the Dec. 26, 2007, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA): Hurricane Katrina Reli
"Information for Food and Housing Assistance, Disaster Cleanup, Agency Resources, Recovery, and Consumers, and for USDA Personnel In the Affected Areas."This site provides news and information about USDA activities following Hurricane Katrina, such as relief programs for farmers, emergency food assistance, the Food Stamp and child nutrition programs, and the Rural Development program. Also includes links to related U.S. government sites. New Vaccine Platform May Fight Infections With Causes From Influenza T
The development of effective vaccines for people with compromised immune systems may be feasible after all, according to a team of researchers, who demonstrated their approach could protect against pneumocystis pneumonia in mice lacking the same population of immune cells that HIV destroys in humans. This vaccine platform suggests that the immune system can be primed to ward off other infections as well, such as those caused by the flu, smallpox or exposure to anthrax, even in patients who have the highest risk for infection. Link Between Carbohydrate Quality And Vision Loss Is Strengthened By N
People consuming diets with a higher glycemic index than average were at greater risk of developing advanced age-related macular degeneration, report researchers. The researchers suggest that twenty percent of cases of advanced age-related macular degeneration might have been prevented if individuals had consumed a diet with a glycemic index below average. Targeting A Single Gene Could Inhibit Bone Decay And Stimulate Bone Gr
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine have found by targeting the function of a single gene that it is possible to inhibit bone decay while simultaneously stimulating bone formation. This concept may lead to drug treatments for osteoporosis and other bone diseases. Senior author Yongwon Choi, PhD, professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and colleagues report their findings in the December issue of Nature Medicine. New Target For Treatment Of Breast Cancer
The active ingredient in a drug currently being tested to treat rheumatoid arthritis might also one day serve as an effective means of treating one of the deadliest forms of breast cancer. Berkeley Lab researchers have demonstrated that inhibiting the activity of the protease enzyme known as TACE can deprive tumor cells of a key factor needed for their proliferation. TACE is strongly present in a form of breast cancer which responds poorly to current therapies.
