Scientists discover 5 new species of sea slugs from the Tropical Eastern Pacific

...nchs—a group of mollusks lacking outer shells—have developed sophisticated chemical defense mechanisms, which is particularly important because promising industrial and medicinal products have been isolated from known species. New species may provide cures for diseases that are currently untreatable. Workin...

Resistant HIV quickly hides in infants' cells

...ther-to-child transmission found the virus quickly developed resistance, but levels of resistant virus declined over time to undetectable levels. In the current study, however, researchers found these resistant viruses quickly took up residence in inactive T cells, from where they could later launch an attack ...

Mice with a migraine show signs of brain damage

... author of the paper. By combining two recently developed imaging technologies, Nedergaard’s team was able to get an unprecedented look at the events that happen in the brain of a mouse as a migraine unfolds. The team uncovered a complex, unexpected tale of supply and demand regarding blood flow and oxygen....

pHLIP, a novel technology to locate and treat tumors

...veal many health problems at earlier stages may be developed based on pHLIP technology? “Our discovery is an example of the reason that the NIH and DOD support basic science—we were working on the principles of membrane protein folding, and made a discovery with important medical implications that wouldn’t ...

Amphibians in losing race with environmental change

... ?while others fail and go extinct. The systems developed over millions of years to give amphibians survival advantages have now turned against them, scientists say. Examples include: Many amphibians lay their eggs in shallow, open water in direct sunlight to provide a more oxygenated environment, incr...

US control strategies may make flu epidemics worse, UCLA study shows

...a vaccination program. The model Blower's team developed is inspired by game theory, used in economics to predict how non-communicating, selfish individuals reach a collective behavior with respect to a common dilemma by adapting to what they think are other people's decisions. The group modeled each indiv...

Keeping the immune system from starting a 'food fight'

...P2-deficient mice became inflamed, and the animals developed spontaneous metabolic disease on a regular diet, manifesting insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, high blood sugar and lipid levels, and fatty liver disease. They also showed that the loss of STAMP2 exacerbated the metabolic symptoms of mice with...

Master regulatory gene of epithelial stem cells identified

...then used the epithelial stem cell cloning methods developed by Howard Green, MD, the George Higginson professor of cell biology at HMS, to show that p63’s key function was to provide the enhanced potential of stem cells to divide. "The fact that p63 is essential for these epithelial stem cells, while oth...

Fuel from fiber -- Pretreatment can put corn stalks, trees in your car's tank

...discarded as waste after a crop is harvested. He's developed a patented pretreatment process for biomass, ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX), which makes the breakdown of cellulose ?the most difficult part of making ethanol from plant biomass ?more efficient. Dale and other members of the Biomass Refining Conso...

Corals -- More complex than you?

...es of body cells. Humans, on the other hand, have developed hundreds, even thousands of different cell types. A possible explanation for this, Prof. Miller believes, is that coral genes may interact with each other in far less complex ways. Humans, on the other hand, are the product of a continuous and co...

Targeting sugar on blood vessels may inhibit cancer growth

... colon and lung cancers. "If novel drugs can be developed to target tumor heparan sulfate, we might be able to make a leap in cancer-fighting therapies, because several molecules critical to tumor endothelial growth also bind to heparan sulfate," Fuster said. "Altering this binding would allow for suppress...

Students invent protective pouch to enhance cell therapy

...of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, also have developed ways, covered by a pending patent, to track the microcapsules with various imaging technologies. They and researchers elsewhere have struggled, however, to keep these encapsulated cells alive within the body, mainly because the cells often situate...
