A genetic mutation found in four children born with multiple abnormalities may provide insight into potential treatments for newborn lung distress and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Mammograms Reduce Breast Cancer Deaths, But Increase Overdiagnosis
A new review of studies offers good news and bad news for women faced with the decision about whether to get regular mammograms. Large Avian Flu Outbreaks More Likely To Involve Duck Meat Industry, E
Scientists predict that 73 percent of avian flu outbreaks in the UK would not spread beyond the initial infected farm, but larger outbreaks are more likely to involve the duck meat industry. Duck meat is more likely to cause large outbreaks of avian flu because ducks often do not show signs of the disease and as such delays diagnosis and control of the infection. Autism-related Proteins Control Nerve Excitability, Researchers Find
Two proteins that are implicated in autism have been found to control the strength and balance of nerve-cell connections, researchers have found. The proteins, which serve to physically link nerve cells together, were discovered more than a decade ago, but until now their function has been unclear. Ancient fossil flea-like creature: Rare body parts find provides vital
Researchers have uncovered an ancient water flea-like creature from 425 million years ago -- only the third of its kind ever to be discovered in ancient rocks. Neural Cell Transplants Fight Immune Attack In Mice With Multiple Scle
The July 14, 2005 Nature publishes unexpected results in which adult mouse neural stem cells injected into mice with multiple sclerosis (MS) suppressed immune attacks, suggesting resident neural stem cells may not only serve as repair cells, but may also protect the brain from inflammation. The study was co-funded by the National MS Society. Further research is needed to confirm these results and translate into ways to protect and repair brain tissues in people with MS. Malignant Melanoma Cells Secrete Protein Required For Embryo Formation
A Northwestern University research group has discovered that aggressive melanoma cells secrete Nodal, a protein that is critical to proper embryo formation. Blocking Nodal signaling reduced melanoma cell invasiveness, as well as cancer cell colony formation and tumor-forming ability. Making a New Year's Resolution
This site offers tips and techniques on the practice of making and keeping New Year's resolutions, including successes and failures, related background and traditions, and a checklist of suggested common resolutions. Two Proteins -- ABCA1 and ABCG1 -- combine to enable HDL to protect
Individuals with an imbalance in the amount of cholesterol associated with the carrier complexes HDL and LDL have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, a class of diseases that affect the heart and or blood vessels, including atherosclerosis. In this context, high levels of HDL protect against cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms behind this protection are poorly understood.
