The anxiety gene

...have so far been identified.However, scientists do know that some of these genes manufacture proteins that play a crucial role in controlling the way the cells of the nervous system communicate with each other. It may be that an imbalance in the production of these proteins makes the brain over-sensitive ...

Fat Cell Protein Hits Type-2 Diabetes

... What's really interesting about Acrp30 is that we know that it is missing or lower in obese people. He said the study suggests just small increases have a major effect in decreasing glucose production in the liver and thereby improving insulin action in the liver. "This significant research points to th...

Blood Test May help Heart Prediction

...ome the target of new drugs. Scientists do not yet know what level of apolipoproteins should be considered normal or at what point patients should be given drugs to improve their profiles. According to Meyerson, studies need to be done on whether treatments aimed at changing the apolipoprotein levels will...

Sympathy and brain function

...y in life. It may be linked to imitation, which we know babies do from a very early age. Researchers used positron emission tomography (PET) to explore the neural mechanisms of imitation by measuring increases in blood flow in the brain. In the study where researchers looked at imitation, they discovered ...

A vaccine for lymphoma

... quite early, but it will be a long time before we know the final outcome." It is hoped that the treatment can be refined and extended to other cancers of the blood - including myeloma and myeloid leukaemia....

Molecule aids fight E. Coli Infections

... can spread disease, and I think it's important to know how insects can become infected and how they defend against the infection to understand disease transmission by insects." "For many infectious diseases like E. coli sepsis, tuberculosis and anthrax, the bacteria are taken up by white blood cells ca...

Folic Acid blows Gene-based Colon Cancer

... history. "This study is suggestive that women who know they have a family history of colon cancer strongly consider taking folate supplementation or a multivitamin with folate," Dr. Dukota Brooks, director of the colon cancer program of the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, told United Press Internatio...

Stress relief for Diabetics

.... She said that if you have diabetes and you don't know what your triggers are, it's going to be more difficult to control the blood sugar. Classes can help diabetics recognize stress triggers and learn how to avoid them. Positive thinking, muscle relaxation, deep breathing and mental imagery can help. H...

Heart Patients Use Alternative Medicine

...tick to mainstream drugs too.// "But they may not know that some of these substances could pose a hazard when taken with certain heart medications, and if they don't tell their doctors, the risk may go undetected,'' said Kline-Rogers, who presented the results before the American College of Cardiology me...

Brain Cell Repair Loss disclosed

...witch triggered by cell contact, but what we don't know yet is what the mechanism inside the cell is," Lisa McKerracher a neuroscientists at the University of Montreal....

Malignant virus in polio vaccine combined to Cancer

... it's still only a potential therapy, and we don't know if it will work yet.'' He said that U.S. officials have all but ignored the SV40 detections and that government funding and support for research has been nonexistent. One reason given by Gazdar and other scientists is that the government is worried ...

Brain defect may play role in stammering

...utput areas, in the brain. Weiller felt that, they know now where to look for treatment. So far, some believed an overactive right hemisphere would be the problem, which would have resulted in a suppression of right hemisphere activity. Our results suggest a left hemisphere problem. It is possible this s...

Soy, Omega 3s convalesce artery health

...benefit would be speculative at this point, but we know omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil seem to have an effect of lubricating the arteries." Ayoob cautioned, however, the Australian study was small and brief and therefore more research is needed. Symptoms can improve on the short-term, he said, and the...

Womb may have impact upon Blood Pressure

Nobel Prize for Medicine

...he human genome contains a ced-3-like gene. We now know that most genes that are involved in controlling cell death in C. elegans, have counterparts in humans. This year’s Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine have made seminal discoveries concerning the genetic regulation of organ development and pr...

Success of HIV may depend in its mutations

...o virus is lost later in infection. Now we need to know why," she said. "While there are no direct implications for diagnosis or treatment, an important motivation for this sort of study is the development of knowledge that could lead to successful HIV vaccines, both to prevent and to treat HIV infection,...

An insight of the small intestine

...em, says Dr. Hara, is that there is no good way to know precisely where the photo of the area of interest was taken. Doctors can only estimate based on the time the capsule was in the person's system. Therefore, Dr. Hara suggests using a combination of imaging techniques to get the best results. In a rec...

Metapneumovirus - a common cause of adults' colds, kids' illness

...peat bouts seem to be milder. Now that scientists know what to look for, they can seek out the virus' genetic footprints in nasal secretions. This way, they are trying to assess how often -- and how severely -- it makes people sick through life. In other studies: ? Researchers from McGill University loo...

Scientists Have Traced How The SARS Virus evolved

...tered as a preventive measure.But scientists don't know whether some other animals, perhaps rodents who live in the same markets, are the ultimate source of SARS and infected both civets and people at the same time. The new study doesn't shed light on that question.However, it does suggest that the outb...
