Pregnancy hormone key to repairing nerve cell damage

...herapy a step further than current treatments that stabilize the disease in its early stages. By promoting repair, which is the goal of prolactin therapy, we have hope of actually improving symptoms in people with MS," says Dr. Luanne Metz, director of the Calgary MS Clinic in the Department of Clinical Neuros...

Living with water scarcity -- world must act now

...agricultural production practices, water use could stabilize at present levels." In developed countries, people eat more than what is healthy and 30% to 40% of food is lost between farmers fields to our forks. In developed countries, much of this loss is between the shop and our plates, and could be avoided ...

Nanotechnology shows promise as next wrinkle fighter

...uring a cosmetic procedure ?such as an eyelift ?to stabilize the improvements and prevent further wrinkling. He also sees applications in medical procedures ?such as artificial skins for surgery. The ideas are in the early stages with health and safety concerns to be worked through. Already Ilsoon's lab, wit...

Scripps research study shows humans and plants share common regulatory pathway

...so showed that a heat shock protein, HSP90, helped stabilize Nod1. "Inhibiting HSP90 resulted in a significant reduction of Nod1 protein levels," Ulevitch said. "That clearly suggests that this protein plays a key role in stabilizing Nod1 and protecting it from degradation. In contrast, turning off SGT1 di...

Mutation improves memory, may lead to memory-enhancing pill

... or repetitive training, activates mechanisms that stabilize the memory and nerve connections, resulting in long-term memory, lasting days, weeks, or years. "Quite different molecular machineries, widely conserved from sea slugs to rodents, are thought to underlie these two components. While modifications o...

New designer lipid-like peptide with lipid nanostructures for drug delivery systems

...nd - as now demonstrated - can also be utilized to stabilize different self-assembled liquid crystalline nanostructures. Moreover, the surface charge density of lipidic nanostructures can be varied in a simple manner. Dr. Anan Yaghmur, first author of the study, comments on the study, “the addition of sma...

Surprising origin of cell's internal highways

...artment of the Golgi (the Trans Golgi Network) and stabilize the microtubule "seeds" at the Golgi. Golgi-originating microtubules could also be an important factor influencing how cancer cells invade distant tissues. Because microtubules play a central role in cell division, cancer drugs like colchicin...

Reconstructing the biology of extinct species: A new approach

...oject was that the organ of balance -- which helps stabilize an animal's gaze and coordinate its movements as it travels through the environment -- should be irrevocably linked to the type of locomotion produced by its limbs. "If an animal evolves a new way of moving about the world, its organ of balance must...
