...ctor of the Centre for Public Health, said: "These profiles illustrate the growing costs of cheap alcohol, a night-time economy almost exclusively packed with bars and clubs, and a failure to deliver a credible drinking message to both youths and adults." Professor John Ashton, the north-west regional direc...

Skin Cells Make Use of Geographic Co-Ordinates to Reach Their Destination

...ility. The scientists analyzed the gene-expression profiles of adult fibroblasts from more than 40 areas of the body. They found about 400 genes whose expression patterns varied with the cells' original location. Those from the top half of the body - arms, head and chest, for example - shared expression patte...

New Approach to Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer

...MR) analyses of blood samples and produce cellular profiles that show the identities, structures and proportions of metabolites (metabonomics). This NMR-based metabonomics approach has identified characteristics, known as biomarkers, in blood samples that can leave a “biomolecular signature” that distinguis...

High Levels of Lipoprotein(a) in Women is Associated With Cardiovascular Risk

Genetic Map Reveals How Drugs Fight Diseases: Study

...d off. The researchers collected gene-expression profiles from cultured human cells treated with 164 bioactive small molecules, including the anti-cancer drug gedunin, estrogen and certain antipsychotics. They also collected genetic signatures from cells affected by conditions such as diet-induced obesity...

Ethnic Variations in Hormone Levels May Cause Differences in Breast Cancer Risk

...n or other factors.” Latinas had similar hormone profiles to whites, while women who had recently immigrated had slightly lower levels, but which were not statistically significant, the researchers found. However, Latinas’ risk of breast cancer is the lowest of the groups studied. One of the most interest...

The researchers also recorded information on each participant's gender, age, smoking habits and use of cholesterol-lowering drugs. Huang notes that the study also found participants with Parkinson's were much le...
