Neurotransmitters signal aggressive cancer, offer potential for early diagnosis

... aggressive types of cancers," says Ippolito. The association of GABA with aggressive tumors was uncovered by a novel combination of techniques that can now be employed for further identification of substances linked to tumors and other diseases. The resulting information will significantly advance diagnosis an...

Methamphetamine Abuse, HIV Infection Cause Changes in Brain Structure

...fected individuals, the researchers noted a direct association between the severity of the infection and greater loss of brain matter. In methamphetamine abusers who are also HIV-positive, decreased volumes are correlated with increased cognitive impairment in one brain region, the hippocampus. Dr. Jernigan ex...

Study: Harmless virus kills some cancers

...ociated cervical cancer. In general, AAV2 requires association with a helper virus in order to replicate. When it finds a helper virus, such as HPV, AAV2 disrupts the life cycle of the host and induces apoptosis, a type of cell death. "Even without co-mingling with another virus, AAV2 seems to be able to infect...

Because the therapeutic complexes only activate with visible light, the researchers are now able to add a luminescent tag that glows in the presence of ultra vi...

The newly discovered full skeleton of a Revueltosaurus makes it clear that the teeth are not of a plant-eating dinosaur, but of a herbivorous or perhaps omnivorous crocodilian ancestor living a mostly terrestrial life in the uplan...

Antiretroviral Therapy May Prevent HIV Transmission From Breastfeeding Mothers To Infants

...mission. One possible explanation for this lack of association between antiretroviral therapy and HIV DNA levels, the investigators hypothesized, may be the short duration of treatment in the study (a median of 98 days). Combination antiretroviral therapy may reduce HIV DNA in breast milk more slowly than HIV RN...

Major new UNC-based drinking water study suggests pregnancy fears may be overstated

... and published in 1998. That research suggested an association between byproducts known as trihalomethanes and loss of pregnancy. "We think our new work should be an important contribution to policy studies," said principal investigator Dr. David A. Savitz of the UNC School of Public Health. "While it is not th...

According to Moorhouse and Macdonald: "We would expect any such effect to be species-specific, but our results will alert those studying other small mamm...
