Continual Fear Linked to Genetic Alterations in the Brain

...ubstance, named as BDNF, retains the controls that predict whether fear can actually turn its target into a potential recluse. The Texas researchers exposed small brown mice to fear, of greater intensity than the normal course. The Mice was made to face an aggressive opponent in a cage, a large white mouse,...

TNF Protein Can Predict GVHD Bone Marrow Transplant Recipients

...of TNF. If we can develop a test that can reliably predict this complication, we can then look at treating it before any symptoms develop. This is one small step in a long road to making transplants safer and more effective,' said John Levine, study author. 'TNF is known to play a role in a variety of infl...
