Discovery Opens New Window To Understanding Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Oregon Health &Science University Cancer Institute researchers have opened a new window into the roots of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). "We are looking under the surface of CML to understand better where the cancer is coming from. We have discovered abnormal cells in the early stem cell population in some CML patients, which don't belong to the CML clone. These are abnormal cells that are not part of the CML clone,"said Thomas Bumm, M.D., OHSU Cancer Institute member. 2000-year-old Statue Of An Athlete Sheds Light On Corrosion And Other
The restoration of a 2,000-year-old bronze sculpture of the famed ancient Greek athlete Apoxyomenos may help modern scientists understand how to prevent metal corrosion, discover the safest ways to permanently store nuclear waste, and understand other perplexing problems. Tendons shape bones during embryonic development
In all vertebrates, including humans, bones, muscles and tendons work together to give the skeleton its characteristic balance of stability and movement. Now, new research uncovers a previously unrecognized interaction between tendons, which connect muscles to bones, and the developing embryonic skeleton. This study demonstrates that tendons drive the development of specific bone features that are needed for a strong skeletal system. As Morphine Turns 200, Drug That Blocks Its Side Effects Reveals New S
On May 21, 2005, the world of medicine will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the crystallization of morphine in Einbeck, Germany. Despite many side effects, morphine remains the standard for postoperative pain relief. The University of Chicago's Jonathan Moss will speak at a commemorative conference in Einbeck on how methylnaltrexone, developed at the University to block morphine's troubling side effects, enables scientists to distinguish between morphine's desired central analgesic effects and its undesirable peripheral effects. African-American Mothers More Likely To Deliver Prematurely, Missouri

 Household Mold Linked To Depression
A groundbreaking public health study has found a connection between damp, moldy homes and depression. The scientists said the findings came as a complete surprise. This was a large study, analyzing data from 5,882 adults in 2,982 households. Molds are toxins, and some research has indicated that these toxins can affect the nervous system or the immune system or impede the function of the frontal cortex, the part of the brain that plays a part in impulse control, memory, problem solving, sexual behavior, socialization and spontaneity.
