Scratch no more: Gene for itch sensation discovered

.... "Scientists have been studying this receptor for more than a decade," Chen says. "One interesting thing they've found is that GRPR is implicated in tumor growth. As a result of research like this, a lot of substances have been made that block the activity of GRPR. So now researchers can study the effect...

Research identifies protein that signals flowering in squash plants

...ort day (SD) plants require a short day length (or more precisely, a long night) in order to flower. These are plants that flower as the days grow shorter, such as in the fall in temperate regions. Long day (LD) plants will flower when nights are short (and days are long), and typically flower in late spr...

Researchers discover inherited mutation for leukemia

...ear in the United States. The leukemia is slightly more common in men than women, and typically strikes people who are in their 50s, 60s and 70s. About 90 percent of CLL cases are sporadic; that is, they have no genetic component. But about one in 10 people with CLL have relatives who also develop...

... likely try to repeat the results in animals. Much more research is needed before any possible human anti-aging drug could emerge, Miller says. “Even if this agent turns out to be good for mice, it won’t be possible to tell without careful studies of humans whether NDGA is beneficial, useless, or harm...

Innovative smallpox vaccine research study to be conducted at Case Medical Center

...®, is different from Dryvax® in that it contains a more weakened form of the live-virus within the vaccine. “Because the vaccine is weakened, the side effects should be minimized enough to give the vaccine to all individuals, even those whose immune systems are suppressed,” says Dr. Salata. “Our hope ...
