Cell Implants May Help Those Who Suffer From Parkinson's

... stages of the Parkinson disease, after conducting experiments upon animals. Efficacy evaluations were performed by the researchers on the patients who received the implants. After a period of 12 months, an improvement of 48% was seen, and even after two years had passed, the improvement remained sustained. Th...

Mirrors An Enigma for Humans

...ersity's School of Psychology. He designed various experiments by hanging a covered mirror in the wall and asking his subjects to guess the exact place from which they would be able to see themselves. In the end most of the people said that they would be able to see their reflection before they were near the e...

Usage Of Oral Contraceptives Need Not Be Feared By SLE Patients

...e when the female hormones are at its peak. When experiments were conducted with mouse with SLE they showed increased reaction when administered with estrogen. They also affected the B cells which plays a vital role in the disease process. According to this study it is clearly seen that women suffering with ...

Mobilizing Stem Cells at the Injured Site Using Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments.

... of the stem cells to the injured site. When the experiments were conducted in animal models it showed that the movement of the stem cells was mainly due to the increase in the synthesis of nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This was then followed by the triggering of other enzymes which helps in the movement ...

Type 2 Diabetes Is Linked To High-Fat Diet

...ferase (GnT-4a) disrupts insulin production. The experiments point to a mechanistic explanation for why failing pancreatic beta cells don't sense glucose properly and how that can lead to impaired insulin production, said Jamey Marth, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at the University of Californ...

Genetic mystery behind muscle development unraveled.

...ed them from undergoing differentiation. Similar experiments carried out in developing frog embryos confirmed their finding. Increasing miR-1 caused more muscle tissue overall and fewer myoblasts, while increasing miR-133 led to more myoblasts but less muscle overall in the frog embryo. "That was quite a sur...

...act site of action of the placebo. Two different experiments were conducted one in which Dagfinn Matre showed that there is an alteration in the spinal processing of the pain due to the placebo effect. It is seen that this effect has surfaced during the patient reports of initial pain intensity. It is also k...
