In a recent study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, scientists report that a molecule previously thought to play a purely structural and inert role in cells is actually involved in multidrug resistance in cancer. Using antagonists for this molecule, the researchers were able to sensitize drug resistant breast cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drug treatment. Gender, Coupled With Diabetes, Affects Vascular Disease Development
New research shows that vascular activities in diabetic animals vary according to sex. This discovery may eventually have implications for the way males and females are treated medically in the future. ICON: Innovation Curriculum Online Network

Tiny Brain, Normal Life
The unusual case of a man with a tiny brain caused by massive ventricular enlargement, who has led a normal life, is studied in a clinical update in The Lancet. The man was 44-years-old at the time, married with two children, and worked as a civil servant. He went to hospital after suffering mild left leg weakness. Neuropsychological testing revealed the man had an intelligence quotient (IQ) of 75, his verbal IQ was 84 and his performance IQ was 70. 'Marathon Mice' Elucidate Little-known Muscle Type
Researchers report in the January issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press, the discovery of a genetic "switch"that drives the formation of a poorly understood type of muscle. Moreover, they found, animals whose muscles were full of the so-called IIX fibers were able to run farther and at higher work loads than normal mice could. Obsession With Weight May Not Be Tied To An Eating Disorder
In a new study on Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) -- a distressing or impairing preoccupation with an imagined or slight defect in one's appearance -- researchers from Bradley Hospital and Brown Medical School found that individuals who are concerned about their weight are more impaired than those whose appearance-concerns are not weight-related. This is particularly important, as weight-related preoccupations have at times not been considered diagnostic of BDD. CT With Multiplanar Reconstruction Gives New Perspective On Complex An
CT with multiplanar reconstruction provides a clear multi-dimensional view of tibial triplane fractures of the ankle--a view that alters what is found in many medical textbooks and changes the way physicians understand these complex fractures, a new study shows.
