Blocking the nerve receptor EP1 in mouse models reduces brain damage caused by stroke

...duces PGE2. "A lot of the previous findings kept bringing us back to PGE2 and its receptors," Doré said. "So we investigated whether it's possible to block the EP1 receptor so PGE2 couldn't trigger toxic effects." Doré's team first injected either the EP1 blocker ONO-8713 or the EP1 stimulator, ONO-DI-004...

Researchers develop new method for studying 'mental time travel'

...that category -- suggesting that participants were bringing to mind the general properties of the images in order to cue for specific details. "What we have learned over the years is that what you get out of memory depends on how you cue memory. If you have the perfect cue, you can remember things that you ...

Cyberkinetics, Case to develop system to help restore extremity function

A little telomerase isn't enough

...merase" mice, their telomeres shortened over time, bringing an early demise to stem cells that replenish the blood supply, immune system and intestine, the researchers report. Moreover, offspring of these mice bred to have normal levels of telomerase still exhibited early loss of stem cells, the researchers r...

MSKCC researchers uncover structure of key protein complex in cells

...s, while E3 is a kind of chemical marriage broker, bringing targets close enough to SUMO to facilitate binding. "E3 activities are somewhat mysterious," Dr. Lima said. "They stimulate conjugation, but how they do so remains unclear. A major advance in this study was the development of quantitative assays tha...

Study uncovers dirty little secret: Soil emissions are much-bigger-than-expected component of air pollution

...ural activity is likely to increase in the future, bringing more fertilizer use. As a result, there could also be even greater soil emissions of nitrogen oxides. "We don't know how emissions will change, but we now have a way to monitor them from space," she said. ...

Researchers predict infinite genomes

...contain multiple strains with specific genomes. By bringing a pan-genome perspective to the study of these organisms, scientists may better learn how new pathogens emerge and better target therapies to specific conditions. One approach is to spotlight a species's core genome. On the flip side, scientists may ...

Stem cell training program to make its Stanford debut
