Helping the neurology of kidney failure

...g laboratory rats. They find that nitric oxide - a molecule which acts as a chemical signal - interacts with free radicals so creating a condition called oxidative stress, which damages brain cells. However, if rats with kidney failure are treated with an antioxidant drug, much of this damage can be prevented...

Detection of Cancer

...h team, said the blood test is based on a specific molecule which appears to be missing when cancers begin to develop."The lack of this diagnostic molecule may be associated with the ability of cancers to escape the immune system and cause disease," he sai...

Control of inflammation

... for signal and sensor, Sitkovsky notes. A simple molecule that leads a busy life, adenosine is the core of the cell’s energy-containing compound, ATP, and elevated levels of it in the brain appear to cause sleep. Despite its numerous roles adenosine has received little attention from immunologists, says Sit...

Variation in breast cancer

...animal products, and fat, cause higher levels of a molecule called insulin-like growth factor, and more of the female sex hormone oestrogen. Both can promote breast cancer. Another factor important in cancer is exposure to sunlight. Having more UVB radiation, which means higher levels of vitamin D, seems to b...

A new recovery for heart attacks

...ound under low-oxygen levels, HIF loses a hydroxyl molecule from an asparagine amino acid on this other domain. This changes the shape of the protein and allows it to activate the genes. "The finding has implications for treating heart diseases in which tissues are deprived of oxygen because the blood vessel...

Compressed DNA aids gene patients

...ilding an entire human.// This means that the DNA molecule is long and unwieldy. Doctors are looking for ways to smuggle or slip their modified DNA strands into the cells they want to change. Other methods involve using viruses - which "infect" the cell and pass on the new genes that way, or encasing the ...
