Alternative Splicing in Neuronal Development

...w that a switch in expression between PTB and nPTB induces changes in a large number of alternative splicing patterns during neuronal development. "This reprogramming of splicing by the switch in PTB proteins adds a new layer of genetic change determining the function of a post-mitotic neuron."...

Young Girls Turning to Speed for Losing Weight

...g wears off the stomach realises it is empty. This induces periods of not eating and then bingeing. From there it doesn't take a lot to go into an eating disorder, the Daily Mail quoted Herne, as saying. Miss East Anglia, Rosanna Carr Taylor, who supports eating disorder charity B-eat, said that size-zero ...

Fibrinogen may Inhibit Spinal Cord Regeneration

...beta 3 integrin receptor. This binding, in turn, induces the activation of another receptor on the neuronal cells, called the epidermal growth factor receptor. When the second receptor is activated, it inhibits the axonal growth. Other inhibitors have been identified that use the same epidermal growth fact...

Shed Off Your Shyness With a Nasal Spray!

... by the body when a person is in love, and it also induces labour in pregnant women. The spray contains a synthetic version of it, created in the laboratory. University researcher Dr Markus Heinrichs says that the spray was found to dramatically change the behaviour of 70 adults during a study. He says th...

Cytokine IL6 as a New Chemotherapeutic Target for Ras-driven Cancers

...njury. Dr. Counters team has demonstrated that Ras induces the secretion of IL6 in a number of different cell types. The scientists then showed that IL6 promotes tumorigenesis by encouraging new blood vessel growth. Dr. Counter and colleagues were able to successfully fight tumor formation in a preclinical...

Flavonoids In Orange Juice Make It A Healthy Drink, Despite The Sugar

...evious work has shown that 300 calories of glucose induces ROSand other proinflammatory responses," said Dandona, who isDistinguished Professor of Medicine in the UB School of Medicine andBiomedical Sciences. "We hypothesized that 300 calories-worth of orange juice or of fructose would induce less oxidativ...

Reason Behind Sleepy Feeling During Sickness Found

New Genetic Studies Carried Out in Cancer Therapy

...kdown. Silencing of these genes in many cases also induces polyploidy and multinucleation in the absence of drug treatment. The researchers conclude that specific disruption of the mitotic checkpoint promotes paclitaxel resistance and that chromosomal numerical heterogeneity may be a useful predictor of pa...

Researchers Have Found the Role of Protein in Accelerating Breast Cancer Progression

...lls-cells found in the loose connective tissue-and induces several features of aggressive breast cancer. While the importance of these cancer cell-stromal cell interactions is well established, only limited progress has been made in identifying the factors that cause stromal cells to initiate tumour progress...

Estrogen Therapy Protects Against Fading Mental Powers: Study

.... The researchers believe the estrogen treatment induces growth of new, more dynamic spines, which partially compensate for the effect of aging. "We found that this increase in synaptic spines in the prefrontal cortex in the older estrogen-treated monkeys appears to have prevented age-related cognitive d...

Study of Bacterial Pathogen may Give Insight to Cancer Development

...recently found that a Listeria protein called InlB induces internalisation and degradation of a human receptor known as Met, which has been implicated in the development of some cancers. Ireton worked with Lisa A. Elferink of the University of Texas Medical Branch, who led the study study published in the...

Infertility is Seen in Men With SLE

...e major factor in permanent sperm damage. IV CYC induces long-lasting damage to developing sperm cells that leads to significant semen alterations. The researchers note that the striking reduction of testicular volumes paralleled the severity of sperm abnormalities, suggesting severe damage to the seminife...

Stop Smoking, Start Living: World No Tobacco Day

The following are some of the reasons- Chemicals like nicotine and cyanide, present in cigarettes, are poisonous with a potential to kill in high- ...

Talcum Powder Curbs Lung Tumor Risk

... forming, slows cell growth and movement, and even induces nearby tumor cells to commit suicide. All of these make it hard for tumors to grow and spread into healthy lung tissue. When endostatin was first discovered in 1997, doctors hoped its tumor-fighting properties would lead to a cure for cancer. But c...

Test Drug Seen as Best Hope in Decades for Tackling Parkinson's

...rces doctors to raise the dose of this drug, which induces unwanted side-effects, including spastic, jerky movements. So, if isradipine can slow the death of dopamine neurons, the L-DOPA "honeymoon" could be significantly extended. "If we could double or triple the therapeutic window for L-DOPA, it would...

Anti-wrinkle Compound Causes Pathological Reaction in Skin Cells

...rceau’s team revealed that the application of DMAE induces a quick and spectacular swelling of skin cell vacuoles called fibroblasts, which act as reservoirs and interface between the inside and the outside of the cell. In the hours following the application of DMAE, the researchers observed an important s...

Drug Used to Prevent HIV Transmission from Mother to Child Damages DNA

However they recommend long-term...

Obese Prone to Colon Cancer

...n the obese secrete a hormone called leptin, which induces growth of colon cancers. Cancerous cells grow in the colon, rectum and appendix of sufferers. "The fact we have shown how leptin stimulates these cells means that drug companies may be in a better position to develop new treatments against the dis...
