New research identifies gene important for nicotine's effects on the brain

...ts effects on behavior". Picciotto suggests that future research focus on signaling pathways inside nerve cells and understanding which pathways are really important for nicotine addiction as opposed to other types of abuse. Picciotto's research used both genetically engineered mice with altered nicotin...

...ity to have parasitoids more readily available for future efforts," Weaver said. "Right now, we have to locate a large population of these beneficial insects before we can redistribute them. If we can reliably have them available at a known location, we could do our job much more efficiently."...

Environmental toxins may cause body's defenses to worsen lung disease

...ing these pathways could play an important role in future drug treatments for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the basic scientific findings may also have applications in asthma and cystic fibrosis as well as other chronic lung diseases. The overall goal of the study is to expand exi...

Hopkins scientists link immune response to 'ghost' parasites and severely congested sinuses

...ssion of AMCase, researchers say. Lane adds that future research will have to determine if high genetic expression of AMCase is an underlying cause of inflammation or if AMCase is simply one of many chemicals produced by cells in the nose in response to chronic inflammation. The next phase of their ...
