New component of the 'brakes' on nerve regeneration found
Among the principal obstacles to regenerating spinal cord and brain cells after injury is the "braking" machinery in neurons that prevents regeneration. While peripheral nerves have no such machinery and can readily regenerate, central nervous system (CNS) neurons have their brakes firmly in place and locked. Now, two groups of scientists have independently found a new component of that b...New understanding of cell movement may yield ways to brake cancer's spread
From birth until death, our cells migrate: nerve cells make their vital connections, embryonic cells move to the proper places to form organs, immune cells zero in to destroy pathogenic organisms, and cancer cells metastasize, spreading deadly disease through the body. Scientists studying these migrations didn't know how cells determined where to go. Until now. A Burnham Institute study ha...New brain hormone puts brakes on reproduction
University of California, Berkeley, researchers have discovered a new actor in the mammalian reproductive system, a hormone that fills a role long suspected, but until now undetected. The hormone, a small protein, or peptide, called gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), puts the brakes on reproduction by directly inhibiting the action of the central hormone of the reproductive system - g...Researchers find molecular 'brake' to cell death
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have significantly refined the scientific understanding of how a cell begins the process of self-destruction - an advance they say may help in the design of more targeted cancer therapies. In the June 30 issue of the journal Cell, the research team found that a natural "brake" exists in a cell to prevent it fr...Heart Brakes: Hearts in European Union Invite Health Attention
London: European Union has a huge health problem of having too many ailing hearts, making it the number one health ailment in the Union, that costed the bloc’s members, a whopping 169 billion euros in 2003, according to a study. // Take a look at the annual statistics, but watch your heart before you read them. Cardiovascular disease ruled, making a dent of 230 euros on an average on...Diseased Parakeets in Exhibit in Zoo
A zoo official has alleged that the San Francisco Zoo had knowingly imported parakeets with a contagious and commonly fatal bird disease for an exhibit encouraging human interaction //. While the disease is not infectious cannot to humans bird lovers are concerned that the virus which causes psittacine beak and feather disease could pose a threat to family pets. The ailment can attack a...Researchers Find Molecular "Brake" to Cell Death
Researchers have significantly refined the scientific understanding of how a cell begins the process of self-destruction// - an advance they say may help in the design of more targeted cancer therapies. The research team found that a natural "brake" exists in a cell to prevent it from undergoing apoptosis, or programmed cell death, and they say that optimal anti-cancer therapies shoul...Applying brakes to symptoms of Alzheimer's with a tiny implant
In what holds promise for a large number of Alzheimer's patients, a breakthrough has arrived in the form of an inch long contraption designed to be implanted under// the skin on the abdomen. Indeed a promising treatment option, this implant contains a medicine that is slowly pumped into the patient's blood stream. According to the results of the clinical trails of this implant, the medici..."Tarakeswar Alu"- buy potatoes online !!
