How the environment could be damaging men's reproductive health

...of environmental factors, including those that can disrupt the hormone system, and the role of genetics, lifestyle and other factors." The study found that cryptorchidism was associated with low birth weight, preterm delivery, small gestational weight and other congenital abnormalities of the genitalia. An ...

Potential treatments for neurofibromatosis

...U investigators now are identifying drugs that can disrupt the function of mast cells and their proteins in ways that they believe will starve the tumors. "It's much easier to develop targets against a non-malignant cell than it is the malignant cell itself," said Dr. Clapp. That's because the biological ac...

Rats infected as newborns grew up vulnerable to memory problems during an immune challenge

Understanding how infection in newborns can disrupt memory in immune-challenged adults may help scientists to understand how exposure to germs or environmental stressors before or just after birth may foster susceptibility to neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. For example, prenatal viral...

Studies reveal methods viruses use to sidestep immune system

...st RIG-I, producing a protein called a protease to disrupt the cell's immune response that is otherwise turned on through RIG-I by the virus infection. The viral protease, NS3/4A, chops up essential signaling proteins involved in carrying RIG-I's message to IRF-3. Without those signals, IRF-3 can't turn on t...
