Drug treatment improves learning in mice with Down syndrome symptoms, Stanford/Packard study shows

...Stanford and Packard Children’s in 2003 to rapidly translate research discoveries into useful treatments for people with Down syndrome. The research, which will be published Feb. 25 in the advance online edition of Nature Neuroscience, was conducted by Fabian Fernandez, a graduate student in Garner’s labora...

Billions of dollars saved in US by polio vaccination

...mated that these historical and future investments translate into over 1.7 billion vaccinations that prevent approximately 1.1 million cases of paralytic polio and over 160,000 deaths, thus saving Americans hundreds of billions of dollars in treatment costs. Dr. Stephen Cochi, U.S. Centers for Disease Cont...

Anti-herpes treatment reduces HIV levels in women infected with both viruses

...ways successful, as knowledge does not necessarily translate into sexual behaviour change. Therefore, innovative methods that target the biological susceptibility of individuals to acquire or transmit HIV are also required. A number of options to prevent HIV transmission are currently being investigated, inclu...

Scientists unlock secret of what makes plants flower

...rating in rice, so there is immediate potential to translate research into practical benefits for food crops. The ability to control flowering is of enormous commercial significance across food and non-food species, for example extending production seasons or designing plants better adapted to changing climate...

Common algae helps illustrate mammalian brain electrical circuitry

...rve cells, but the findings are often difficult to translate into an intact mammalian brain," Ehlers said. "This new model opens up whole new avenues for study. We may reach a future where brain injuries, spinal cord damage, neuron loss in Alzheimer’s disease, or even depression are treated by fiber optics del...

Scientists to track impact of Asian dust and pollution on clouds, weather, climate change

...rve cells, but the findings are often difficult to translate into an intact mammalian brain," Ehlers said. "This new model opens up whole new avenues for study.

Failure to meet United Nations sanitation target could affect millions of the world's poorest

..., Davis said. However, wealth does not necessarily translate into improved water and sanitation services. "Tracking the progress of countries from 1990 to 2004, we do see that countries that are at risk of missing either or both targets are more likely to be in the lowest income categories," she said. "They ar...

Cancer vaccines -- Taking a jab at cancer by stimulating the immune system

... subjects that benefited from the trial, which may translate well into more practical vaccine formulations." The dendritic cell vaccination strategy combines a cancer protein with the patient’s own dendritic immune cells. These cells are antigen presenting cells that, in effect, advertise the presence of th...

Indicators for risk of heart disease are higher in passive smokers

... fibrinogen and homocysteine observed in the study translate into an increase in a disease risk of five per cent, although the combined effect due to other processes is likely to be closer to 30 percent, Dr Venn said. "Even when participants weren't exposed to smoke at the workplace or at home, many had low...

Common gene version optimizes thinking -- but with a possible downside

...olution, that would normally confer advantage, may translate into a disadvantage if the prefrontal cortex is impaired, as in schizophrenia," added Daniel Weinberger, M.D. "Normally, enhanced cortex connectivity with the striatum would provide increased flexibility, working memory capacity and executive control...

NIAID DNA vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza enters human trial

...ty of the NIAID Vaccine Research Center to rapidly translate basic research into potential products," he adds. "Our accelerated effort to understand and find new solutions to pandemic influenza is part of the NIAID commitment to respond to new emerging infectious disease threats and to improve public health p...

Discovery could lead to better control of hemorrhagic fever viruses

...e, the study's senior author. Choe now hopes to translate these findings into treatments to contain natural or intentional outbreaks of New World hemorrhagic fever. Serendipitously, several anti-TfR1 antibodies have already been developed as anticancer therapeutics (cancer cells are also high in TfR1), and ...

Vitamins: Science doesn't always match policy

...h," he concludes. "At best, the research needed to translate scientific knowledge into policy will require a robust interaction between the public and private sectors in a regulatory framework that supports and rewards investment in good science." ...

Executable biology -- Computer science sheds light on animal development

...roach, using formal methods of computer science to translate this picture into a dynamic representation that can capture time-dependent processes. Results from the model can then be compared to data from the lab, revealing gaps in our understanding of the processes taking place. Researchers can use the model t...

Novel system developed to turn data into real-time, interactive 3-D images

...s. It is compatible with all imaging devices, will translate and display data immediately and in its entirety, and allows for user-friendly manipulation of the data for evaluation and analysis. Gregory Wilson, associate vice president for economic development and strategic partnerships says the license agre...
