Chemists have solved a decade-long molecular mystery that could eventually help scientists develop drug therapies to treat a variety of disorders, including epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. Using intensive theoretical and computational calculations, researchers have modeled the initial molecular changes that occur when the neurotransmitter glutamate docks with a receptor on a neuron, which sets in motion a chain of events that culminates in the neuron firing an electrical impulse. New Marker To Identify Cancer Stem Cells Discovered
Researchers have found a marker that can be used to identify stem cells in breast tumors, suggesting a potential simple test that could help determine the best treatment for breast cancer. The marker corresponds to worse outcomes and could help determine treatments. The end of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon?
A new article addresses how the combined efforts of government commitments and market transition could save forest and reduce carbon emissions in Brazil. Exercise And Education Helps Women With Fibromyalgia
An exercise program that incorporates walking, strength training and stretching may improve daily function and alleviate symptoms in women with fibromyalgia, according to a new article. These benefits appear to be enhanced when exercise is combined with education about managing the disease. Exclusive Breastfeeding Reduces Risk Of Mother-to-child HIV Transmissi
A study by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the University of Zimbabwe and Harare (Zimbabwe) City Health Department found that exclusive breastfeeding substantially reduces the transmission of HIV from mother to infant and infant death, compared with partial breastfeeding. Infants who were introduced to solid foods or animal milk within the first three months were at four times greater risk of contracting HIV through breastfeeding compared to those who were exclusively breastfed. Fundamental Protein Instrumental To Brain Development AndRepair Identi
Scientists have demonstrated conclusively that a specific protein and its signaling activity are instrumental in myelination and remyelination, processes essential to the creation and repair of the brain's white matter. This groundbreaking discovery in mouse models points the way to developing treatments to enhance healthy brain development and/or brain disease repair in children and adults. Work Fatigue And Working Overtime Are Associated With Weight Gain
Work fatigue, working overtime, job demands and dissatisfaction in combining paid work and family life are associated with weight gain, suggests the recent study from the University of Helsinki, Finland. Fungal footage yields insight into plant, animal disease
Mold and mildew may be doomed. Researchers are closer to understanding how these and other fungi grow. That's important because some 70 percent of the major disease-causing organisms are fungi. Understanding how fungi grow can help scientists find ways to stop them.
