Stem Cells In Brain Have Potential For Sensing Damage And To Repair

...icular wall lining and succeeded in establishing a modified neural stem cell environment. The scientists have still not deciphered the precise mechanism by which the stem cells carried out the response. "The holes that had formed in the brain ventricular wall had largely been repaired. These adolescent mi...

Researchers Devise Safer Way to Dose Lifesaving Heart Drug

...auman said. "However, dosing methods have not been modified to reflect this change. In the study, we sought to develop a new method to determine the initial dose of digoxin in patients with heart failure." Medical records of adult patients who had a steady state of digoxin concentration in their bloodstrea...

Germ - Chemo Combo Fights Cancer

...ose found in the core of cancer cell clusters. The modified bacteria themselves are relatively harmless, but their unmodified counterparts produce poisons that have killed some humans and cattle when introduced into the bloodstream. “It is not difficult to kill cancer cells. The challenge is killing them wh...

Highly-Concentrated Botulinum Preparation Can Result in Severe Illness

Berger believes that scientists will likely find this type of regulatory mechanism at work in many other protein systems over the next few years. Interestingly, only one other study has shown a role f...

Women in the throes of depression portray differences in brain chemistry

...lled the body's "natural painkillers." The drug is modified to allow it to be "seen" by the PET scanner, so that the researchers can create maps of the specific brain areas where the natural mu-opioids are more or less active at any given time. In the new study, the researchers also found that the mu-opioid...
