OHSU researchers discover potential mechanism to repair brain damage linked to Multiple Sclerosis

...ing a myelin-destroying disease, you would want to try and promote the return of myelin-forming cells. This general area of research is of particular interest to me in my attempts to counteract the white matter brain damage that is often associated with premature birth and can lead to a form of cerebral ...

Molecular Partners Required For Appropriate Neuronal Gene Repression

This general area of research is of particular interest to me in my attempts to counteract the white matter brain damage that is often associated with premature birth and can lead to a form of cerebral ...

What Makes The Brain Tick, Tick, Tick: Researchers Gaining New Insights Into Brain's Internal Clock

...s are using an array of experimental techniques to try to identify this "baton" timing signal and to refi...per, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to try to integrate the different fields and levels of analysis that contribute to understanding timing and...

Discovery that bacterium is phosphate gourmet key clue to what makes it most social of bacteria

...icing the behaviour of individual bacteria that to try to "cheat" in the collective activity of the group. Now Dr David Whitworth from the Biological Sciences Department of the University of Warwick has also discovered that it appears to seek out and consume phosphate in a "gourmet" manner, providing imp...

Research casts doubt on circulating stem cells

...disease. But we shall continue working on this and try to awaken those 'sleeping beauties', the nuclei." The Bonn physiologist believes that it is necessary to dampen the very high expectations held by some colleagues: "In my view, many of the studies using bone marrow-derived stem cells have so far bee...

Researchers use brain scans to predict behavior

Gene therapy works in mice to prevent blindness that strikes boys

...chnology. "It may take two to five years before we try this in human patients because of the need for safety studies, but we feel based on success so far, we will be able to provide formal evidence for safety that will allow us to get treatment into the clinic." UF researchers worked with Bernhard Weber...

Biotechnology's newest chemical tool

...ecules, in the same sequence-specific manner. To try out their technique, the scientists synthesized molecules that mimicked AdoMet, but had chemical groups with longer carbon chains in the position where the methyl group was usually located. The enzymes were able to grab the bulkier group and transfer...

Tropical dry forests receive international recognition

... the once-pristine land. TROPI-DRY's goal is to try to help translate research into tools countries can use as policies to save the dry forests. The solution lies in private conservation, says Sanchez-Azofeifa. This tactic means convincing governments to realize the value of conserving tropical dry fo...

New genetic test can detect clam disease

...is to keep infection levels as low as possible and try to keep seed clams free of the disease. One possible remedy may be rotating shellfish crops, much like farmers do on land. ...

Prostate cancer uses Wnt signaling proteins to promote growth of bone tumors

...in bone." In future research, U-M scientists will try to identify which of the nearly 20 known Wnt proteins is involved in bone changes associated with metastatic prostate cancer. ...

Fruit fly research set to revolutionize study of birth defects

...l for the initial testing of "rescue" therapies to try to prevent birth defects. Scientists can study the effect of the drug on the genes of as many as three generations of fruit flies in a month using readily available scientific tools, speeding up study times while keeping costs low. "It also adds to ...

Researchers develop new method for studying 'mental time travel'

...ehi Natu, a researcher in Norman's lab. "When you try to remember something that happened in the past, what you do is try to reinstate your mental context from that event," said Norman. "If you can get yourself into the mi...

Magnetic probe successfully tracks implanted cells in cancer patients

...s carrying a radioactive tag are sometimes used to try to double-check the cells' final resting place. However, in this study, the Dutch team discovered that using MRI and iron oxide particles was able to track the cells' location much more accurately than the radioactive tracking method and provided an...

Plants have a double line of defence

...tion. In further studies, the researchers hope to try to identify materials that are built up via PEN2 at the place of infection. They surmise that these materials could lead to the development of new kinds of "green fungicide" with a broad range of effects in the fight against plant diseases. ...

Researchers know what you were about to say; fMRI used to detect memory storage and retrieval

...to pull out the entire thought, much like when you try remember where you put your keys last night," Polyn said. "If you recall that you were washing dishes, that might trigger associated memories, leading you to remember that your keys are next to the sink. We refer to this phenomenon as 'bootstrappin...

Scientists map one of biology's critical light-sensing structures

... for a long time. Practically speaking, we can now try to re-engineer the vision system of a plant." According to Vierstra, there are many kinds of phytochromes found in every plant, and they exist in virtually all cells. They occur in greater concentrations in cells that respond directly to light, such...

Clinical trial to test stem cell approach for children with brain injury

...auma at the medical school. "All we can do now is try to prevent secondary damage by relieving pressure on the brain caused by the initial injury." Unlike bone, muscle and other organs, the brain does not repair itself effectively. Traumatic brain injury victims can regain some function through rehabi...

Bugs expose underground carbon traffic system 10 times more important than fossil fuel burning

...archers from Aberdeen, Lancaster and Sheffield, to try and establish if plant associated fungi - arbulscar mycorrhizal (AM) fungi - found on the roots of 80% of all land plants had any role in the movement of atmospheric carbon to soil (fixed by plants in the form of CO2). AM fungi produce filaments that...
