Diabetes and Alzheimer’s linked to each other

...s. The research was conducted in rats, and it was identified that insulin and its growth factors IGF I and IGF II were produced in the nerve cells, neurons in several brain regions. Brain tissue from people who had died from Alzheimer’s disease was also examined .It led to the of lower-than-normal levels of i...

Single gene analysis for diagnosis of a range of blood disorders

...rol group. A single-point mutation of the gene was identified in 97 percent of patients with polycyhthemia vera, in 57 percent of patients with essential thrombocythaemia, and in 50 percent of those with idiopathic myelofibrosis. None of the patients in the control had the mutation....

Fungal Infections Effectively Controlled By Light Therapy

...fe-threatening human pathogen. Two genes have been identified for the response. It is said that the loss of the same genes reduces fungal infection in mice. Mice which lacked either of the light-sensing genes and were inoculated with the C. neoformans remained healthy 30 days later, while those infected with th...

Ebola-like virus is on the way to cause epidemic in Angola

...e virus are children. The virus which was first identified in 1967 is said to cause nausea, stomachaches, vomiting and diarrhea.

New Enzyme Identified For Arthritis

...titute and University of Melbourne, Australia have identified a new enzyme // that causes arthritis. The enzyme called ADAMTS5 destroys the cartilage by degrading the aggrecan in the joints. The cartilage destruction leads to inflammations and the severe joint pains that are the symptoms of the disease called ...

To Reduce Risk Of Cancer Eat Grapes

...o alleviate cardiac diseases. The researchers have identified about a dozen new and till date unidentified flavnoids in grapes that are said to be actively involved in fighting human DNA topoisomerase II, an enzyme necessary for the spread of cancer in the body. The synergy action of the flavnoids may help redu...

Risk of preeclampsia in pregnant mothers may be inherited

...regnant mother and unborn child. Scientists have identified a gene called STOX1 or C10orf24 that contained five different missense mutations, which are identical between sisters. This exists with preeclampsia phenotype and follows inheritance from the mother. Four STOX1 transcripts are articulated in early pl...

Gene to identify risk of stroke in sickle cell anemia

... a condition. Some of the genes were those already identified as related to risk of stroke. The others thus identified are genes in the pathway TGF-beta, as well as hemoglobin levels of the patients. The current study...

Gene is related to premature ageing disease

...ear envelope structure. Scientists have not only identified the gene responsible for the progeria syndrome, but they have developed a process to reverse the symptoms. The process will eliminate mutant LMNA mRNA and lamin A protein using splicing correction to the activated cryptic splice site. On doing this, ...

Onions to prevent osteoporosis

... bone disease of// osteoporosis. Researchers have identified a compound in onions, a peptide called GPCS that seems to prevent the bone disease. The study had involved segregation of bone cells of newborn mice that were treated with parathyroid hormone to simulate a situation of osteoporosis. These cells were ...

Lupin flour may cause peanut allergy like reactions

...Royal Free Hospital, London, lupin flour have been identified as the ingredient that// can cause similar allergic reactions to people who are also allergic to peanuts. Peanuts are known to cause severe allergic symptoms in people. The symptoms of peanut allergy are inflammation of the lips and the tongue, diff...

Brain mapping technique to explain sleep

... cells in rats, the researchers had found that the identified type of neuron receives inhibitory signals during night that makes them inactive, and hence animals sleep. These neurons produce a chemical called orexin that keeps the animal awake. Inhibitors of this protein will cause sleepiness, and in human bei...

Epilepsy surgery to help child development

...is done when the source of the seizures is clearly identified in the brain. Epilepsy surgery is available to certain types of epilepsy where the medication fails to give the patient a life free of seizures, or where the dosage of the medication may cause harmful side effects. The researchers had studied the po...

Atrial fibrillation predicts for acute ischaemic stroke

...which included both paroxysmal andpersistent AF as identified by ECG consisting of 3335(21.1%) patients and the non-AF group consisting of 12 496 (78.9%) patients were analyzed for associationwith severe stroke and early death . The study bymeans of multivariate logistic regression analysesfound that female ...

Antibodies to fight HIV infection.

...t be so easily distinguished. The researchers had identified the protein antibody 2G12 as the one, which can fight the virus for some time. However scientists on the project do agree that even if the antibody can work successfully for short time in animals and in laboratory conditions, it is still a long way f...
