Neurological Disorders Overcome By Proteins

...repair and buildup. They have an important role to play in the metabolic activities// of the body as well. Scientists have discovered a new protein that controls development of brain cells and could eventually lead to medical interventions to help those with neurological disorders such as schizophrenia a...

New Insight Gained For Allergic Reactions

...tes of the exposure is critical. These two signals play a vital role in inducing allergic inflammation. Because antioxidant compounds are quickly metabolized in the lungs and airways, it may be necessary to deliver them every few hours via an inhaler. Researchers have suggested that it is now important t...

Revolution in Genetics to Open Avenues for Treating Cancer

... genes have been identified which could presumably play a major role in the development// of breast cancer, These new genes were narrowed down after examination of tumor tissue from 53 breast cancer patients. In addition breast cancer cell lines were also studied which confirmed the findings. This new ...

Diabetes and heart attack diagnosis now made simple with twin magic

.... What makes it extra special is that the needles play a dual role and complement each other. The tiny medical gadgets are expected to be constructed of cheap throw-away plastic which would not only make glucose testing simple and painless, but would significantly cut down the time in diagnosis. Because...

Identified Protein To Inhibit Cell Migration

...t UNC in 1997 as a blood platelet protein that may play a role in clotting. Cell migration belongs to the most rudimentary of cellular functions that allow processes such as fetal development, new blood vessel formation and wound healing to occur in humans. Increased tumor cell migration also is one of th...

Expose on eating disorders!! Scientists trace “brain’s eating control center pathway”

...rol eating behavior. Other areas of the brain that play a role in eating decisions have not been identified before now, according to Dr. Jeffrey Friedman of The Rockefeller University in New York. Friedman and his colleagues tagged a virus that travels from brain cell to brain cell with a protein ...

Mechanical forces drive early heart development

The anxiety gene

...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 to stressful situations. The team is now trying to iden...

Limiting sperm motility for contraception

...l structure that resembled other channels known to play a role in cell motility. Using antibody tracers, the researchers revealed that the gene - which they named CarSper, for “cation channel of sperm” - was expressed only in the testes and not in any other tissue.To begin to define the role of CatSper i...

Antibiotic, Gene Therapy Help Treat Angina

...ial infections, particularly Chlamydia pneumonaie, play in cardiovascular disease. "The question was, is this (infection) an innocent bystander or a culprit," Kaski said. Although the antibiotic worked, "the mechanism by how the antibiotic was effective was not very clear," he said. Dr. David A. Meyerson...

Gene in Melanomas

... to a family of regulatory molecules that normally play a role in switching it off, known as INK4 proteins.The INK4 proteins usually have a 'double-negative' effect, blocking Cdk4's neutralising effect on another growth-suppressing protein. When INK4 proteins are disabled, cell growth continues unchecked....

...spectively. // Results suggest that the virus may play a much wider role in cancer than previously suspected. Dr. Janet Butel, a lead researcher of the study at Bayor College, No obvious risk factors have emerged for non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the general population, but a viral cause has been postulated,'...

Cut meat to cut blood pressure
