Understanding The Role Of Olfaction In Taste

... the limited study, on just one food, means future experiments are needed to determine whether other food odours produce the same differential brain activations....

Genetic Tests Could Become As Affordable As Blood Tests

...th the ability to run tens of thousands of genetic experiments simultaneously on a small glass slide, DNA microarrays have offered a better understanding of genetically based illnesses like Huntington's and cancer. Stellacci's technique could be used to produce many other kinds of nano-devices. These include m...

Study holds promise for new way to fight HIV

...(A3G), and the new study confirmed it in the first experiments on human cells. These patients remain healthy even after years of infection with HIV despite receiving no treatment. These results have confirmed the presence of an innate defense system present in such subjects. It is believed that A3G "edits," or ...

Treatment for Cystic Fibrosis in the future

...ch a way that the disease can be corrected. If the experiments turn out successful, then it would not be long before a treatment modality for the so called untreatable genetic disoder could be made a reality.The goal of the research is to make a drug that would work efficiently and effectively at low doses....

Next time somebody complains about your strange behavior, take it as a compliment

...ho can be cited as an example in this regard. Two experiments were conducted to compare the creative thinking processes of schizotypes, schizophrenics and normal control subjects. In the first experiment, the researchers showed research subjects a variety of household objects and asked them to make up new funct...

Omega 3 Fatty acids (fishy oil) Inhibits Breast Cancer Growth

... that on the corn oil diet. Results from in vitro experiments indicated DHA and EPA inhibited the growth of cultured breast cancer cells by 20 to 25 percent. Source: International Journal of Cancer...

Kidneys Can Be Transplanted From Animals Such As Pigs In Future

...days, which is a very promising finding. Previous experiments conducted had shown the survival rate to be not more than a few hours. The above finding has a significant implication on the long-term graft survival rate following transplantation. Indeed, the majority of graft losses in this kidney transplant mode...

Down syndrome simulated in animal model after successful chromosome transplantation

...ic depression and congenital heart disease. With experiments such as this gathering momentum in the field of genetics, the successful treatment of genetic disorders seems a reachable goal in the future....

US Senate Votes against Testing of Pesticide on Humans

...sting data on a case by case basis, rejecting only experiments deemed scientifically unsound or ‘fundamentally un...ral and ethical issues surrounding these pesticide experiments are overwhelming,” California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, who introduced the amendment, said a...

Dark chocolate can help ease symptoms of diarrhea

...es that mimic the lining of the intestine. All the experiments were associated with lower fluid levels. It has now been scientifically established that cocoa flavonoids can bind to and inhibit a protein called CFTR, which regulates fluid secretion in the small intestines. Children younger than the age of five ...

Conditioning preferences in children

A New Approach In Treatment Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity In Children

...chers from Germany were able to carry out the same experiments successfully in children with a neurogenic bladder. After many reports of this “wonder drug,” several questions have arisen, including what this injection treatment means for neurourologic patients in the longer term; whether bladder function changes...

Seeing Is Believing Does Not Hold Good For Color Perception

...present to balance the observed difference. These experiments show that color is defined by our experience in the world, and since we all share the same world, we arrive at the same definition of colors. The team has focused itself towards identification of a genetic basis for this large variation between retin...

Study Offers Insights Into Treatment Of Rheumatoid Arthritis

...anisms. The results have been identified following experiments conducted on animal models of mouse that mimics the disease condition. The identification of such complex behaviors could enable physicians make an individualized diagnosis of RA patients, eventually paving way for effective therapies against speci...

Breakthrough In New Vaccine For Malaria

... and complexity. The scientists also did in vivo experiments in mice, infecting them with the parasite and then injecting a small amount of the vaccine-produced antibodies. The antibodies significantly cut the number of parasites in the blood of these animals and in some cases wiped them out entirely - outper...

Sperm stem cells could be an alternative to embryonic stem cells in future

...f the fascinating areas of biology today, with new experiments continually replacing our existing knowledge about the potential applications of stem cells. Scientists have now been successful in manipulating rat // sperm cells to behave like embryonic stem cells, which are capable of giving rise to various cell...

Artificial Sweetners Not Really Safe?

...inks to lymphomas and leukemias in other long-term experiments by the same authors. The current study included more animals over a longer period than earlier studies. “In our opinion, previous studies did not comply with today’s basic requirements for testing the carcinogenic potential of a physical or chemica...

Tamil Nadu To Undertake Stem Cell Research

... undertake stem cell research.// CMC will pioneer experiments to see if stem cells can be developed into heart muscles, nerve cells and if primary cells can grow into specialized cells. "It is a matter of great prestige that the CMC has been selected for this important project. It will have far-reaching impl...

Leptin Injections Maintain Loss In Body Weight

...t produce the same result in humans. Various other experiments were done with different hormones related to hunger metabolism and weight (neuropeptide Y and ghrelin) but the results were not favorable to humans. A group of ten volunteers (obese and non-obese) were taken for study and for eight weeks were given ...

Exercise keeps ‘Alzheimer’s Awa’

...lifestyle helps to keep Alzheimer's at bay. "Our experiments support the idea that exercise is a good approach to all types of problems in the brain and that a sedentary lifestyle is a risk factor," he said.
