Beer does good

...ead to an increase in cataracts. Scientists have identified that high glucose levels damage key elements of cells called the mitochondria. These are mini-organs which are responsible for converting glucose// into the energy needed by cells to function properly. When the mitochondria found in the cells of the ...

Cirrhosis linked to genes

...up particularly vulnerable.// Dr West's team has identified an antibody response to alcohol consumption which is linked to polymorphisms - genetic variants found in at least 2% of the population. The response was found in half of those with liver cirrhosis and was present in one third of those who did not hav...

Early delivery can prevent cancer

... lower risk of developing breast cancer. They have identified a substance produced naturally in the body that protects against the disease. Hormones released during pregnancy trigger the changes in the breast tissue of young women. The research raises the possibility of one day developing a pill that could prot...

Allergy Risk Increased by Kerosene Use

...ne, and electricity on about 960 people. They have identified strong, positive associations between allergic skin sensitization and allergic symptoms and the domestic use of modern fuels for cooking and heating, particularly from kerosene and to a lesser degree gas. The exposure to these pollutants could play a...

Genetic disorder related with sleep patterns

...sity said: "This is the first time that anyone has identified 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 i...

Predictable genes

...rsity's Department of Oncology now believes it has identified mutations in six other genes which have a link to breast cancer risk. Professor Bruce Ponder, who leads the team, told the ECCO cancer conference in Lisbon on Wednesday that gene screening may eventually prove more reliable than using other establi...

Weight-bearing exercises are great for building bone strength. The weight of the body is transmitted through the bones, working against gravity, and your bones respond t...

A new vaccine for leukemia

... in the blood.//The lymphoma cells are not usually identified by the body's immune system, and so can multiply diversely. By, using the new technique, scientists are able to remove a sample of tumour cells from a patient, and isolate the genetic material which identifies the cells as foreign bodies.Thi...
