Scientists use gene transfer technology and common virus to block neuropathic pain

...ery to the nervous system is a novel approach that shows tremendous promise for the treatment of neuropathic pain." In future research, the scientists plan to conduct the first phase I safety trial of a related HSV vector in patients with pain caused by terminal cancer, which has spread to bone. ...

Less virulent strains of avian influenza can infect humans

...a, to spread from poultry to humans. The new study shows less pathogenic strains are also capable of jumping to humans, giving them the opportunity to swap genetic material with human strains, which could result in a more virulent virus. Researchers in Italy studied outbreaks that occurred among poultry ...

Transplanting Animal Organs Could Soon Be A Reality

...a, to spread from poultry to humans. The new study shows less pathogenic strains are also capable of jumping to humans, giving them the opportunity to swap genetic material with human strains, which could result in a more virulent virus. Researchers in Italy studied outbreaks that occurred among poultry ...

...ting other brain regions. In contrast, however, it shows that the integration process is done primarily in the task-specific regions." In the 19th and early 20th century, scientists with a "localizationist" approach postulated that discrete brain regions were associated with specific functions of language...

First Whole Genome Map of Genetic Variability in Parkinson’s Disease

The researchers investigated metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, which include aggressive types of lung, thyro...

'Patient-choice' C-section rate rises 36%: HealthGrades study

...s data. When extrapolated to the nation, the study shows that 267,340 "patient-choice" C-sections were performed over those three years. These 17 states represent approximately 58 percent of the nation's total population. The study finds that the rate of "patient-choice" C-sections varies widely from s...

New technology shows our ancestors ate…everything!

...eaford. The result is like a map of the earth that shows mountains, valleys and plains in full relief, only at a microscopic scale. As anticipated from traditional examination of fossilized teeth, the tooth surfaces of P. robustus were more pitted and complex, while those of A. africanus were more scratch...

Tiny roundworm's telomeres help scientists to tease apart different types of aging

... without a single dividing cell in its body, still shows signs of old age and eventually dies, raising intriguing questions. Are telomeres in non-dividing cells eroding slowly over time? If so, will worms with longer telomeres live longer? If not, how do worm cells and by extension non-dividing human cell...

Updated data on novel HPV vaccine confirms efficacy in large population

...new vaccine against a pre-cancerous cervical virus shows superior efficacy in preventing cervical pre-cancers and non-invasive cervical cancer, according to a study presented today during the American Association for Cancer Research's 4th Annual Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research meeting in Baltimore....

Oceans turning to acid from rise in CO2

...ed CO2 to survive, work by Caldeira and colleagues shows that too much CO2 in the ocean could lead to ecological disruption and extinctions in the marine environment. When CO2 gas dissolves into the ocean it produces carbonic acid, which is corrosive to shells of marine organisms and can interfere with th...

Does manganese inhaled from the shower represent a public health threat?

...tes are exposed to manganese levels that our study shows may cause toxic effects." The study is the first to show the potential for permanent brain damage from breathing vaporized manganese during a shower. It was conducted by reviewing the medical literature and calculating, based on animal studies, the ...

US/African project deciphers deadly parasite genome

...GR's president, Claire M. Fraser, says the project shows how North-South research collaborations can be effective and can benefit scientific partners on all sides. "This unique partnership has given a boost to the goal of developing a vaccine against a disease that has had a severe impact on so many East A...

Hunger in America rises by 43 percent over last five years
