Injury to knee may result in arthritis, but it is possible to prevent it

.../ Researchers from University of Rhode Island had identified a way to find out how much loss of lubrication had happened to a knee after a knee injury, in order to find out whether the injury may be a risk factor for arthritis. Although knee injury is considered to be a risk factor for arthritis, it was not k...

New protein found that could slow pancreatic cancer

Researchers have identified a new protein that can check the growth of pancreatic cancer//. Pancreatic cancer develops very fast and without many symptoms from which it can be identified. The cancer often resists interventions like chemotherapy and may be diagnosed at a time w...

Arthritis and the Wnt Factor

...tis (OA), or non-arthritic injury. The group had identified certain genes, which were upregulated in the arthritic knee tissues. These were Wnt-7b and Wnt –10a. The above was found with molecular methods, while protein expression studies reveal that only Wnt-7b was produced in arthritic joints, with strong pr...

Enzyme for treatment of arthritis

Scientists have identified an enzyme’s new role in aiding joint inflammations in conditions like // arthritis. An enzyme called cathepsin G can regulate the ability of the immune cells to secrete chemicals that will start the process of inflammatory conditions that can lead t...

This three-year research collaboration is funded by the European Commission and was launched in 2004 to identify 50 compounds that have the potential to treat SARS. A pape...

Emergence Of New Gene Scanning Technology In Disease Research

... British Heart foundation and Department of Health identified a mutant gene causing high, moderate cholesterol levels among 10,000 middle aged individuals. Through this technique one can identify rare genetic mutation in a population and identify gene level changes says professor Day. Although this research is...

New discovery made about the Nipah Virus

Two research teams working independently have identified how the Nipah and Hendra viruses// infect the human cells to cause infections. Hendra virus belongs to the virus family of Paramyxoviridae. It is known to cause an outbreak of respiratory and neurological disease in animals and humans. Nipah virus a...

Genetics Has A Major Role To Play In Body Shape.

...breakthrough in the study of treating obesity have identified a gene FOX gene,// which is associated with gain in weight. This now explains why people despite not eating too much tend to put on weight and turn obese. The logical sequence for obesity is input of food being greater than the energy expenditure, b...

Abnormal heart rate and depression may increase death risk

Scientists have identified how depression plays an important role in increasing death risk.// It is the incidence of abnormal heart beats in a depressed person that can kill him. Depression had long been taken as a factor for increased risk of death from heart disease. Now th...
