Ultraviolet B (UVB) Radiation Reduces Risk of 16 Types of Cancer in U.S.

...anced to a substantial degree by the advantages of producing vitamin D from solar UVB irradiance. Insufficient UVB irradiance and vitamin D costs society about 10 times what excess solar UVB does, and excess UVB irradiance is not required for optimal vitamin D production.” Cedric Garland said “vitamin D in the...

Scientists Working On Drug Trial Guidelines

...tor at a local level if the tissue is reacting and producing chemicals that in larger quantities might put the individual at risk," said lead researcher Dr Geraldine Clough. The problem is that more human-specific drugs are being made and this poses more risks to volunteers. AstraZeneca said that microdosing...

A Protein from Primate may Save Humans from HIV !

...ntral Florida. // Advancement has made man to stop producing this protein that was produced by our predecessors. HIV-1 has a technique to escape the antiviral drugs targeted against it. It does so by frequently getting mutated. But a research team led by Associate Professor Alexander Cole of UCF's Burnett Co...

Study Compares First-Line Drug Therapies For Treating HIV

...d all three of the treatment regimens were potent, producing substantial increases in CD4+ T cell counts and decreases in HIV viral load. After 96 weeks of treatment, 89 percent of the participants randomized to the efavirenz arm had 'undetectable' levels of HIV, meaning viral load was less than 50 copies per ...

Lunging to Death: Lung Anomalies in Infants Enhance Cot Death Risk

... The three genes in question are responsible for producing chemicals, called cytokines that maintain the efficacy of the immune system. When there are specific variants of the Inter leukin genes, it causes the immune system in the affected child to behave erratically in response to a bacterial infection, whi...

Changing Food Habits: Fodder For Thought

...mes, is seeing a rising trend in childhood obesity producing a new breed of juvenile ‘jumbos’, while having its share of ‘tapeworms on diet’ in the form of the underprivileged among the dalits, the adivasis, the urban and the rural poor, who struggle for two square meals a day. Some hard truths that have eme...

Toxic Strand Of RNA Causes Myotonic Muscular dystrophy

...lities. When doxycycline was stopped, mice stopped producing toxic RNA and returned to normal, except in cases when the heart was severely damaged. So far, however, Mahadevan and other scientists can't explain exactly what happens inside the cell to cause someone to get myotonic dystrophy. "The prevailing th...

Microcapsules target cancer cells

...aboratory, at least, this is an established way of producing transport containers for medicines, cosmetics, or nutrients, which can also pass through cell membranes. André Skirtach and his colleagues equipped the capsules with a kind of "open sesame". But it didn't require any magic - just nanoparticles ma...

Fighting AIDS – a joint venture of the rich and the poor

... U.S. and European laboratories will be the ones producing the microbicide or vaccine, thus the destiny of the poor countries’ people depend partly on programs launched in rich countries. Even other features of development can be advanced in poor countries with new technologies or practices adopted in rich...

Protein rich diet reduces hunger?

..., genetically modified mice that were incapable of producing PYY and resistant to the influence of a high protein diet were found to eat more and turn obese. This led scientists to be confident about the link between protein and PYY, and consequently its effects on hunger. Further research on this subject w...

Nitric Oxide Levels In Brain Indicate Sleep

... adenosine accumulates in their brains, ultimately producing sleep. Once asleep, adenosine levels gradually decline. Rosenberg had been studying how the brain regulates the accumulation of adenosine in the brain for over 10 years, and, in 2000, he and his colleagues demonstrated in brain cells from rats that a...

Molecule responsible for age associated macular degeneration identified

...n part of CEP-protein adducts is not important for producing the growth of the blood vessels. Rather, the actual CEP is the cause of angiogenesis. In an attempt to block CEP from triggering the angiogenesis process, 'we are now trying to find the receptors – the keyholes – in the retina cells that are activ...

New System Monitors Tiny 'Earthquakes' in Bones to Prevent Fractures

...The cracks form when collagen fibers in bone fail, producing sound waves that cause a rippling motion on the skin's surface. "This is the same thing that happens during an earthquake, but on a microscopic scale and at a higher frequency," Akkus said. "Instead of an earthquake-size opening, these cracks are a...

Insight Into Tanning Process Suggests Novel Way to Prevent Skin Cancer

...es with abnormal MC1R receptors can be coaxed into producing pigment in adult mice. To attempt this, Fisher and his associates treated the skin of red-haired, fair-skinned mice with a compound known to increase cAMP levels. The compound, called forskolin, is derived from the root of the forskohlii plant found ...

Stem cell trial to beat Batten Disease

...t the stem cells will evolve into cells that start producing the missing or defective lysosomal enzyme that causes the disease, as was the case in animal studies, " he said. "Children eligible for the study have clinical symptoms of one of two types of NCL -- infantile or late infantile NCL -- and loss-of-fu...

Findings Suggest New Method to Fight Staph Infections

...gineering developed technology for a new method of producing small amounts of chlorine dioxide to meet specific needs. Tenney says his company's system differs from older methods of chlorine dioxide generation in that it’s portable and simple to apply. Early in the company’s development, ICA TriNova showed t...
