Common algae helps illustrate mammalian brain electrical circuitry

... for studying of mammalian neural circuitry in the coming decade," said Michael Ehlers, M.D., Ph.D., a Duke neurobiologist and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. The researchers published their findings in the April 19, 2007, issue of the journal Neuron. The research was supported by the Natio...

Molecular signature may identify cisplatin-sensitive breast tumors

.../Harvard Cancer Center. Starting in Boston in the coming weeks, the trial will be open to patient with advanced triple-negative breast cancer and eventually will be offered at other U.S. cancer research centers. Patients or physicians interested in the trial should call Karleen Habin at (617) 726-1922 and...

Stem cell transplants explored at Stanford as a possible treatment for hearing loss

...for deafness. For the past year and a half, since coming to Stanford from Harvard, he's been focused on two paths: drug therapy -which could be as simple as an application of ear drops - and stem cell transplantation into the inner ear to remedy hearing loss. Currently he's working on perfecting the ...

Flavanols in cocoa may offer benefits to the brain

...ch is impressive in that multiple laboratories are coming to the same conclusion about this flavanol-rich cocoa, and the findings give us completely new insights into how this flavanol-rich cocoa may impact health in a variety of ways not previously known,?said symposium organizer Harold H. Schmitz, Ph.D., ...

Health Canada approves cold and flu medicine

...trongest point of medical recognition to date, and coming from the government authority whose responsibility it is to help Canadians maintain and improve their health, this approval should give great confidence to consumers,?said Dr. Jacqueline Shan, co-founder of CV Technologies, a University of Alberta sp...

Scientists unlock mystery of embryonic stem cell signaling pathway

...called the Wnt pathway, while enhancing the signal coming from the other arm of the Wnt pathway. The Wnt pathway is known to have dichotomous effects on stem cells i.e. both proliferative and differentiative. More specifically, IQ-1 blocks the coactivator p300 from interacting with the protein ß-catenin; th...

Mosquito genes explain response to climate change

...mals," Bradshaw said. "Rather than having a bully coming to beat you up at recess everyday, you can take a body-building course and beat up the bully, or you simply can take recess at a different time. Many organisms are taking the latter course, using day length to guide them." ...

...communication or to help pin down where sounds are coming from. "Clearly, our acoustical understanding often improves if we can see the lips of the speaker—for example at a crowded cocktail party," he says. "However, currently it is not clear whether and how audio-visual interactions are specialized for the...

Scientists map air pollution using corn grown in US fields

...p determine how much fossil fuel carbon dioxide is coming from different regions." The study appears Jan. 23 in Geophysical Research Letters. Atmospheric scientists typically measure carbon dioxide by collecting air samples, but this is the first time fossil-fuel-emitted carbon dioxide has been mapped...

White blood cells of cancer-resistant mice overwhelm natural defenses of cancer cells

...ood cells are suppressed by self-defensive signals coming from the cancer cells and don't attack the cancer. But the mutated gene or genes in the cancer-resistant mouse changes the white blood cells so they interpret those same signals from the cancer cells as an invitation to attack. "Identifying the mut...

German researchers develop first non-invasive test to measure skin aging

...w transplant patients are attacked by immune cells coming from the donor. "Perhaps the technique could help monitor the progress of the disease, or the success of a treatment," Dr. Koehler said. Testing the effectiveness of anti-aging cosmetic products could also become easier. "Some cosmetics are thought t...

Jefferson scientists find high glucose before surgery raises risk of dangerous complications

...hat if an individual has high blood glucose and is coming for surgery, he or she should correct it first and probably postpone the surgery," says Dr. Mraovic. Physicians should also be aware of these risks, he notes, and should make it a priority to be sure that patient glucose levels are under control pr...
