Chemical 'band-aid' prevents heart failure in mice with muscular dystrophy

...cytes in dystrophin-deficient mice don't relax and lengthen as readily as cardiac myocytes in normal mice. They are stiffer than normal heart muscle cells, and vulnerable to damage when stretched. "That's where poloxamer 188 comes in," Metzger adds. "It assists the heart to be more compliant during the relax...

Lands surface change on Alaska tundra creating longer, warmer summers in Arctic

...ue to raise temperatures in the region and further lengthen the snow-free period each year. Since the early 1960s, scientists have identified "hotspots" of slowly increasing average summer temperatures in the Arctic, from 0.15 degrees Celsius to about 2 degrees Celsius for an average increase of 1.2 degree...

New antifreeze protein found in fleas may allow longer storage of transplant organs

...y snow fleas by Queen's University researchers may lengthen the shelf life of human organs for transplantation. Drs. Laurie Graham and Peter Davies, from the Department of Biochemistry, found that the potent protein produced by the fleas to protect themselves against freezing is capable of inhibiting ice gro...
