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

...accine geared toward adults ages 18 to 34 who have never been vaccinated against the disease. The study is the first of its type in Northeast Ohio. The current FDA-approved vaccine, Dryvax®, is not recommended for use on everyone because of the potential for serious side effects in certain individuals. “...

Caribbean frogs started with a single, ancient voyage on a raft from South America

...younger islands, the Lesser Antilles, because they never were connected by land to South America, but neither theory proposed that all of the Caribbean-island frog species had a single common ancestor," Hedges said. __IMAGE_3 The anatomy of Caribbean frogs previously had led the advocates of both the...

In mice, drug protects against diabetes and atherosclerosis

...clerosis, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease never developed. Recently, researchers in Hotamisligil's lab and at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia also demonstrated that these genes were critical in the development of asthma, another disease associated with obesity. In this new...

U-M researchers discover gene switched off in cancer can be turned on

...much like a one-size-fits-all clothing store would never succeed,” Reisman says. “Targeted therapies are now opening the door, because they are essentially given only to those patients who have a high likelihood of response. Their low toxicity means the patient can be treated for long periods of time, ...

Researchers examine carbon capture and storage to combat global warming

...it is produced and injects it underground. The gas never enters the atmosphere. The practice could transform heavy carbon spewers, such as coal power plants, into relatively clean machines with regard to global warming. ''The notion is that the sooner we wean ourselves off fossil fuels, the sooner we'll...

This doesn’t normally happen in the hive...

Newly discovered antibody may be body's natural defense against Alzheimer's

...ies was predicted by animal studies, but they were never previously demonstrated to be present in substantial quantities in blood from normal humans. Lead researcher Dr. Norman Relkin, a behavioral neurologist and neuroscientist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, will presen...

Massive herds of animals found to still exist in Southern Sudan

...d a referendum on independence in 2011. “I have never seen wildlife like that, in such numbers, not even when flying over the mass migrations of the Serengeti,” said Fay. “This could represent the biggest migration of large mammals on earth.” Fay, Elkan and Marjan also report an estimated 8,000 elepha...

Small, self-controlled planes combine plant pathology and engineering

...r other samples, we have found organisms that have never been cultured before. Some of these microbes may thrive only in the atmosphere, and many of them may be new to science.” This and other fascinating results have led Schmale to hypothesize that some airborne microorganisms have “novel biochemical p...

Ancient retrovirus sheds light on modern pandemic

"However, while TRIM5a may have served humans well millions of years ago, the antiviral protein does not seem to be good at defending against any of the retroviruses that currently infect humans, such as HI...

Scientists close in on missing carbon sink

The team found that some 40 percent of the carbon dioxide assumed to be absorbed by northern forests is instead taken up in the tropics. "Our study will provide researchers with a much better understanding of how trees and othe...

"In all my years I never came across another disease where patients come in near-comatose and you stick a needle in them and lo and behold, they wake up—just like that. It was just astonishing," he says. "His elegant idea was to give patients chemicals they already make ...

Resistant HIV quickly hides in infants' cells

However, it is important to point out that because PIs are the first-line drugs used to treat HIV infection in infants in the United States, PI-containing treatment was still effective...

Friedman, a member of the board of directors of the American Headache Society who has treated thousands of headache sufferers, echoes Nedergaard’s call for a greater emphasis on prevention. “It’s astounding just how...

The genomes of several iconic Australian species have been sequenced overseas, and we are being left behind. If important discoveries leading to new technologies are made, we will have to pay to import them. "Se...
