...terns across many taxa of flowering plants to gain insight into flower evolution. In a study reported in the International Journal of Plant Science, Dr. Endress and his coauthors Brigitte Marazzi and Elena Conti, compared floral structures across numerous species of the genus Senna in the pea family. T...

Insulin Sensitizer- Energy Conserving Signal to Brain

...namely, adiponectin. The findings offer critical insight into adiponectins influence over the central nervous system and suggest that selective inhibition of the chemical in the brain may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for obesity and obesity-linked diseases, he added. White adipose tissue (WAT) ...

Scientists Revealed the Key Molecule That Controls Pain

...monly called slime moulds in a bid to gain greater insight into these pain molecules, known as P2X receptors. In humans, P2X receptors look identical to one another and so scientists have had difficulty understanding how they function, said Dr Chris Thompson, who carried out the research with Professor Alan...

Vaginal Bacteria Vary Among Healthy Women

...n healthy, Forney said. For example, with this new insight into the vaginal ecosystem, we will be able to better understand a womans risk to disease and individual health care needs, and assist doctors and women to make more informed decisions about health issues and treatment plans. Its important for us t...

Curry Ingredient Kills Plaque Leading to Alzheimer's

...ctivity.The study is important as it provides more insight into the role of the immune system in Alzheimers disease and points to a new treatment approach. Researchers say that it may be possible to test a patients immune response with a blood sample in order to individualize treatment. The genes involved...

Human Trial for Universal Influenza Vaccine Underway

Xavier Saelens, Prof. Emeritus Willy Min Jou, and Prof. Emeritus Walter Fiers are leading the fundamental research forward with respect to protection against influenza epidemics and pandemics. Th...

Simple Chemical Reaction may Help Early Disease Diagnosis

...ging to detect hydrogen or carbon atoms to provide insight into the metabolites present and the visibility of certain type of metabolites, amino acids, by chemically tagging the molecules of interest so that they were more easily visible. "We added a chemical that reacts with the amino acids and similar me...

Sunita Returns June 21 After 194-day Record Space Odyssey

...Some of these experiments give scientists critical insight into the effects of weightlessness on human bodies while others show ways to prevent effects already known about like muscle and bone loss. In addition to rigorous exercise, Williams also collected and stored her blood while in space to add to an o...

Two, Not One Networks Rule Brain's Voluntary Chain-of-command

...rs turned back to their functional brain scans for insight into the networks' roles. One network, dubbed the cinguloopercular network, was linked to a "sustain" signal. "When you start doing a task, this signal turns on," Petersen explains. "It stays constant while you're doing the task, and then when you'...

Theory of How HIV Attacks is Wrong: Study

...ne. Identifying this process "will provide a key insight into the nature of HIV disease and indicate potential new approaches to therapy," they concluded. A potential explanation for the slow process could be that the virus slowly adapts over the course of the infection, the authors said. "The virus is...

RNA Play a Vital Role in Gene Activity

...t controls histones." The work will also provide insight into the evolution of gene regulation. Because RNA is thought to have preceded DNA in the evolutionary timeline, it makes sense that it still plays a role in controlling DNA's function.

Women Unaware of When Breast Cancer Risk is Greatest

...hor of the research, said: "These results offer an insight into what women believe about their breast cancer risk. Unfortunately the reality is very different from what most women believe. Breast cancer risk increases with age and is highest in women over 80." Julietta Patnick, director of the NHS Cancer S...

British Scientists Discover New Protein to Treat Epilepsy and Schizophrenia

...archers say that their findings could also provide insight into other brain diseases that are characterised by too much synaptic activity, like schizophrenia, which could one day lead to new drugs. Professor Ley Sander, an epilepsy expert at the Institute of Neurology, said the work was at early stages but...
