This finding promises to be a harbinger of novel ways of diagnosing diseases - by understanding the chemical composition of the human body. The project costing $7.5 million i...

Prior Experience to Stress Acts as an Immunization

...om National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) have unraveled the workings of the brain circuitry that inoculates against such hard knocks - the circuitry of resilience. Control not only activated the brain's executive hub, the prefrontal cortex, but also altered it so that it later activated even when the st...

Blood Tests That Promise to Predict Heart Attacks Turn Out to Be a Flash in the Pan

...Scientists from the reputed Framingham Heart Study unraveled that the tests of CRP, BNP, homocysteine and seven other substances are just a few notches above the standard tests in forecasting potential heart attack risks. Lead author Thomas J Wang, a Harvard Medical School assistant professor said, "It's a...

Nobel Prize for Gene ‘Silencing

...the topic remained unanswered until Mello and Fire unraveled the mystery of RNA interference, now widely known as RNAi. Fire and Mello carried out their study on a nematode worm called, Caenorhabditis elegans . Injecting these worms with ‘sense’ mRNA or RNA strand that had complementary base pairs to the t...

Feedback Loop Governing Ovarian Development Unraveled

...dback loop governing ovarian development have been unraveled by// scientists at NYU School of Medicine. Feedback loops are abound in biology and are not well understood. They are essential as they enable an organ such as the liver to detect if it is injured, ascertain if it is growing and developing normally...

This is no yarn …Talk your way to beauty sleep

...d colleagues at the University of Bergen in Norway unraveled the beneficial effects of this therapy when they studied 46 long-term insomniacs. The study groups were randomly administered CBT, Imovane, or placebo pills. Imovane is a commonly used sleep drug used in Europe, on the likes of Lunesta. The treatment...

Transport of Proteins Unravels the Mystery behind Neurodegenerative Diseases

...nce the mechanism underlying the cell transport is unraveled then these diseases could be easily treated. In a new study published online June 4 in Nature Neuroscience, researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine showed how a chemical pathway that is obstructed in Kennedy disease...

Antarctica: The story behind the ice

...and the story behind Antarctica’s icy ambience, is unraveled by ancient fish teeth// that seem to be holding the clue. An element pretty unheard of and extremely rare, identified in the tiny fish teeth has offered a clue to the University of Florida geologists in estimating the period when the passage betwee...

Gold Therapy- A Potential Treatment For Autoimmune Diseases

...ical medicine once the mechanism of gold action is unraveled and the effectiveness of this therapy proved. Gold has been used in the treatment of autoimmune disorders following the demonstration of anti-bacterial properties of gold in Robert Koch in the year 1890. Jacques Forestier, a French doctor pioneered...

Depression More Likely To Affect Parents, Rather Than Non-Parents

Researchers hypothesize that the constant concern and involvement of parents in the lives of their adult children could be responsible for the same. "Parents have more to worry about than other people do - that's the botto...

Simulated Heart Tissue Enhances Understanding of Arrhythmias And Defibrillator Failure

...rhythms. Studies of // this engineered tissue have unraveled that while electric shocks akin to those produced by defibrillators normally stopped errant waves, in few cases caused them to advance and proliferate. These findings have been reported on Feb 1, 2006, by the teams in The Duke University and Johns ...

Muscle Derived Stem Cell Can Repair Damaged Cartilage

Researchers have now unraveled the potential of stem cells in the repair and treatment of damaged cartilage. It is now possible to harvest stem cells from muscle tissue // of injured rats and genetically engineer the same to induce expression of a therapeutic protein (bone morphog...

Viro-therapy against cancer

...n the 20th Century. The first stage o the research unraveled the NDV-HUJ genome, which has 6 genes and 15,068 nucleotides. Then it compared it with other strain of the NDV virus. Then it studied the apoptotic mechanism of the virus. The NDV-HUJ virus treatment was experimented on 14 patients suffering from G...

Visualization Found To Be Largely Dependent On The Brain

A Johns Hopkins University report has unraveled how the neurons located in different areas of the ...ed understanding of neurobiology. Secondly, it has unraveled the mystery behind gross (differentiating an animal and a human being) and fine discriminations in t...

Bipolar Risk Gene Identified

...ipolar disorder is still a mystery which has to be unraveled by conducting further research. The treatment of this disorder is usually lithium. Lithium is apparently the first mood-stabilizing agent approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But the mode of action of lithium is not yet unders...

Definite Genetic Link Between Diabetes And Obesity Established
