Potential New Cancer Gene Identified

...essary for Myc-mediated transformation. When the expression of this target gene in Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines was blocked, the cancer cells revert back to normal-appearing cells. This could point the way to new therapies for one of the most aggressive childhood cancers, as well as other cancers associated ...

Spirulina may be the next immune boost on the block

...ens and parasites and can potentially increase the expression of agents that stimulate inflammation, which also helps to protect the body against infectious and potentially harmful micro-organisms. Additional studies with individuals consuming spirulina are needed to determine whether these dramatic effects ext...

Focus on DNA transcription

... added that many cancers involve over or improper expression of genes and some are regulated at the level of transcription.Knowing now that there are two binding sites on the enzyme instead of one will enable scientists to interpret data they collect much more accurately....

Meditation relieves stress

...ogramme included mindfulness meditation, emotional expression and social support. The benefits were maintained for up to a year, although the results are limited by the fact that only 30 per cent of patients responded to this follow-up. It is also important to repeat the study with a control group (who do not...

Genetics helps in attacking cancer

...colon cancer cells and on tumour growth// and gene expression in cancer cells grown in mice. The experiments show how drug dose and administration schedule affect the way people might respond to ceflatonin and maybe other anti-cancer drugs. It points the way to a new way of treating cancer - based upon a knowl...

Research of Ritalin

...henidate, the generic form of Ritalin, changed the expression of a gene involved in brain function in laboratory rats. The same gene is known to be affected in humans by other psychoactive drugs, such as amphetamines and cocaine.// The research was presented this week at the annual meeting of the US Society f...

Women recognise faces better

Genetic disorder related with sleep patterns

...ed a genetically inherited trait that involves the expression and control of the circadian rhythm in humans. That's really critical." He added that finding the key to different patterns of circadian rhythm could help researchers to discover their role in jet lag, seasonal affective disorder and other mental hea...

New target for antidiabetic agents identified

...3 acts as a negative modulator of Akt and that its expression is increased under fasting conditions. By binding to Akt, TRB3 prevents the enzyme from being activated by insulin, leading to increased glucose output from the liver. Elevated hepatic levels of TRB3 RNA and protein were identified in diabetic mice ...

The Downside of Asthma Medication

...r users of beta-2 agonists may be due to increased expression of a substance called phospholipase C-beta (PLC-beta) in the smooth airway muscle that occurs with persistent high-level activation of the beta2AR. The finding may lead to new treatments for asthma targeting PLC-beta. Writing in an accompanying comm...

Circumcision Found To Prevent HIV Spread

..., population studies correlating levels of DC-SIGN expression in the penis with HIV transmission rates could provide crucially important data. Researchers say these types of studies should be performed in both circumcised and uncircumcised men. In conclusion researchers say their study results suggest that th...

Anger Could Be Linked To Weight Gain

...ore to calculate the level of maturity and healthy expression of feelings. They found adolescents who had healthy high levels of anger control scores also weighed less. Research shows cortisol is released by the body in a "fight or flight" response to stress, and can sometimes remain at highly elevated levels...

Latest Tumor Classification More Informative

...e-derived tumor. Patterns identified from the gene expression and proteomic data from tumor samples can then be integrated as new groups within this classification. As each tumor is derived from a cell with an individual lineage, it will have a unique position within the classification. The commonly used tum...

Hope For Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer
