How Movement Lubricates Bone Joints: Sliding Forces Applied To Cartila
Researchers have shown that sliding forces applied to cartilage surfaces prompt cells in that tissue to produce molecules that lubricate and protect joints, an important step toward their goal of eventually growing joint tissue for transplantation. Scientists ID Molecular 'Switch' In Liver That Triggers Harmful Effect
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers have identified a molecular mechanism in the liver that explains, for the first time, how consuming foods rich in saturated fats and trans-fatty acids causes elevated blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides and increases one's risk of heart disease and certain cancers. 2002 Alaskan Quake Left Seven Areas Of California Stirred But Not Shak
New research has found evidence of tremors along non-subduction zone faults in seven California locations immediately following the magnitude 7.8 Denali earthquake in Alaska on Nov. 3, 2002. The scientists commented that their findings were the opposite of what they had expected. Smoking Can Harm The Long-term Effects Of Some Oral Plastic Surgery Pr
Smokers had less desirable long term results following periodontal plastic surgery than nonsmokers. The study followed 10 smokers and 10 non-smokers for two years to evaluate the effects of cigarette smoke on the long term outcomes of a treatment to help soft tissue reattach to the root surface of the teeth. After two years, residual gum recession around the area which received the surgery was greater in smokers as compared to non-smokers. 50 Whys to Leave Your Lover

Animal scientists at the University of California, Davis, have found that milk produced by transgenic goats, which carry the gene for an antibacterial enzyme found in human breast milk, altered the intestinal bacteria in young goats and pigs that were fed the milk. They hope these findings will one day lead to milk that protects infants and children against diarrheal illnesses, which each year kill more than 2 million children worldwide. Researchers Find Evidence For 'Tanning Addiction'
Using criteria adapted from those used to screen for alcoholism and drug dependency, researchers have determined that repetitive tanning behavior may be the product of a kind of addiction. Human C-reactive Protein Regulates Myeloma Tumor Cell Growth And Survi
Scientists report that a protein best known as a common marker of inflammation plays a key role in the progression of human cancer. The research implicates C-reactive protein (CRP) as a potential target for cancer treatment. Clinical Alert On Drug-eluting Stents And Late Thrombosis
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) today released a clinical alert advising physicians on practical steps for reducing the risk of a rare but serious complication associated with drug-eluting stents. The document follows hearings held by the FDA's Circulatory Systems Device Panel. SCAI's clinical alert focuses on careful patient selection, meticulous stent implantation, and consistent use of medications to prevent the delayed formation of blood clots that can block blood flow to the heart. Brains Of Term Infants With Heart Disease Resemble Those Of Preemies
The brains of full-term infants with congenital heart disease appear more similar to those of premature newborns than to the brains of normal-term infants, a new study has found. The study suggests that the mental and physical impairments in children with congenital heart disease may also have their origins in utero in addition to injuries resulting from surgery.
