...ifference in performance?" Leuthardt said it is too early to make comparisons between adults and teenagers because they have only one set of teenage data. "But we observed much quicker reaction times in the boy and he had a higher level of detail of control - for instance, he wasn't moving just lef...

Drug can quickly mobilize an army of cells to repair injury

... a patient who has had a heart attack, that may be too late. In fact, two clinical trials of G-SCF found the treatment doesn't improve recovery from heart attacks." In an article in the journal Blood, the researchers showed that AMD3100 caused a 10- to 20-fold increase in certain angiogenic cells in the...

Small, smaller, smallest -- The plight of the vaquita

...for fish and shrimp entangle and kill vaquitas far too frequently. The best available quantitative estimate of bycatch refers to only one of the three main fishing ports: 39 vaquitas/yr (95% CI: 14, 93). Current population size could well be around 400 animals. If the vaquita goes extinct, its story wil...

An advanced genetic diagnostic method for multiple myeloma

...ing applied in 20 hospitals in Spain. And in a not too distant future, these tests will permit us to offer each patient a treatment adapted to the genetic modifications that he or she presents, which, while they may not provide a cure for the disease, will make it possible to transform it into a chronic ...

'Trojan Horse' agent halts bone metastasis in mice

... half of the mice, but we may have started therapy too late." Rosenblum and his research team then found that VEGF121/rGel dramatically reduced the number of osteoclast cells in the leg bones and further research demonstrated that pre-osteoclast like cells, known as monocytes, had been expressing a re...

U-M researchers use nanoparticles to target brain cancer

...oped drugs that were discarded because they caused too many dangerous side effects in patients. By combining the drug with a contrast agent, researchers were able using imaging techniques to determine whether the drug actually got to the tumor. This technique could have potential to diagnosis brain tu...

Silver bullet: UGA researchers use laser, nanotechnology to rapidly detect viruses

...ays to two weeks. Tripp said the latter is clearly too long, especially in light of emerging threats such as H5N1 avian influenza. "For some respiratory viruses, you've either cleared the infection at that point or succumbed to the infection," Tripp said. "What we've developed is the next generation o...

Extreme environment changes fish appearance

But the refuge-bred fish began to look different, with deeper bodies and smaller heads, although all the fish are pretty much the same genetically.

New HIV statistics indicate increasing toll of AIDS on African American community

High HPV concentrations combined with smoking significantly raise risks of cervical cancer

But since it was one of the largest studies to examine this relationship, it strongly suggests directions that future research sho...

It is too early to tell whether this chip will be a commercial success, but it certainly has the potential to be extremely useful to industry," Professor Teale said.

In the new system, known as a three-dimensional AC electro-osmotic pump, tiny electrodes with raised steps generate opposing slip velocities at different heights, which comb...
