New System Monitors Tiny 'Earthquakes' in Bones to Prevent Fractures

...n of tiny cracks in bones.// The crack formation generates waves similar to those created by earthquakes. Researchers at Purdue University and the University of Toledo have collaborated to create a prototype device that could be used to monitor the formation of these "microcracks" in bones that can lead to h...

Researcher Develops Sensor to Detect E.coli

...the other end of the glass is a ceramic layer that generates voltage in response to applied mechanical stress. A voltage is applied to the ceramic layer, making it expand and contract, causing the glass sliver to vibrate. The sensor detects changes in the glass sliver’s resonate frequency (the point where vi...

Commonplace Sugar Compound Silences Seizures

...NADH. In other words, a cell with a lot of glucose generates a lot of NADH, so CTBP is more likely to bind with the sugar byproduct than NRSF. But without CTBP, NRSF most likely derails the normal function of certain neuronal genes - including those connected to epilepsy. Scientists believe that NSRF also co...

Immune System Gears Up by Specific Enzymes

... The investigators showed that the T cell receptor generates a different, specific signal to control the activity of these metalloprotease enzymes, called ADAM10 and ADAM17. Specifically, the team demonstrated that ADAM10 normally cleaves LAG-3 even before the T cells are activated. After the T cell recepto...

Study Finds Fat Type That can Protect Against Weight Gain and Diabetes

...fat or brown adipose tissue (BAT) burns energy and generates heat. White fat, which is packed with large lipid droplets, is deposited under the skin, around internal organs and as visceral fat – one of the most harmful forms of abdominal fat. Brown fat, on the other hand, contains small lipid droplets tucke...

Study Shows Hope for Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer's

...ency tone, also known as the “oddball” tone, which generates ERPs in the EEG. Generally, in the ERP of a person without Alzheimer’s, that response registers a peak, the P300, about 300 milliseconds after the “oddball” tone. People with dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s, may exhibit that peak much later than 3...

Study Challenges Conventional Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury

...se requires more than 10 enzymatic steps before it generates energy, while lactate requires much fewer steps, making it, under these circumstances, a faster and more efficient source of fuel. The researchers will seek 20 to 30 additional brain-traumatized patients over the next two years to further confirm t...
