Drawing from data in the nation's largest real-world study of treatment-resistant depression, scientists report that African-Americans and Latinos didn't respond as well as whites to medication for their depression. Crystallography by NMR
While developments in crystallography previously outstripped NMR to some degree in structural studies, researchers in France have now demonstrated what NMR experts have always known - that NMR is no second choice when it comes to crystal structures! Childhood Obesity Due To A Host Of Unhealthy Pressures, Study Shows
Unhealthy options and pressures influence nearly every part of children's daily lives, according to several new studies. Most middle and high schools across the United States contract with soft drink bottling companies, giving students easy access to sugary beverages. Current school policies, neighborhood characteristics and advertising collectively impact the childhood obesity epidemic?and together create an overwhelmingly unhealthy environment for young people. Gene At Heart Of Bad Outcomes In High Blood Pressure Patients
UF researchers studied about 5,700 patients ages 50 and older who were participating in a National Institutes of Health-funded substudy of the International Verapamil SR-Trandolapril study, or INVEST-GENES. The data suggested that one genotype group benefited from the diuretic and had a reduction in heart attack and stroke, while the other genotype group did not. Common Blood Pressure Drug Reduces Progressive Muscle Degeneration In
Scientists supported in part by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) have found that that the commonly prescribed blood pressure medication losartan improves muscle regeneration and repair in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a devastating disease characterized by rapid progression of muscle degeneration in boys and young men.

From Wright State University Libraries. Epilepsy And Brain Pathology Linked Together By The Protein ADK
The brain of individuals who suffer from epilepsy is characterized by pathologic changes to brain cells known as astrocytes. Little is known about how astrogliosis relates to the dysfunction of neurons in individuals with epilepsy, but understanding this could lead to new possibilities for therapeutic intervention. A study using mice has now identified the protein ADK in astrocytes as a molecular link between astrogliosis and neuronal dysfunction in epilepsy.
