Estrogen-like Component of Plastic Stimulates Growth of Certain Prostate Cancer Cells

An estrogen-like chemicalcommonly used to synthesize plastic food containers has been shown toencourage the growth of a specific category of prostate cancer cell,potentially affecting the treatment efficacy for a subset of prostatecancers.According to a study published in the January 1 issue of CancerResearch, such prostate cancer cells proved to be vulnerable toexposure to the chemical BP...

New Research Shows Artificial Light at Night Stimulates Breast Cancer Growth in Laboratory Mice

Results from a new study in laboratory mice show that nighttime exposure to artificial light stimulated the growth of human breast tumors by suppressing the levels of a key hormone called melatonin. The study also showed that extended periods of nighttime darkness greatly slowed the growth of these tumors. The study results might explain why female night shift workers have a higher rate of...

Growth factor stimulates rapid extension of key motor neurons in brain

A growth factor known to be important for the survival of many types of cells stimulates rapid extension of corticospinal motor neurons ?critical brain cells that connect the cerebral cortex with the spinal cord and that die in motor neuron diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease). In the November 2006 issue of Nature Neuroscience, two investigators from Massachu...

We spend a lot of time talking about our oppressive tax burden, out of control spending by state government, a regulatory scheme that stifles business development and an economy that is growing more slowly than the rest of the country. While all of those things require our im...

Enzyme stimulates growth of adult stem cells

According to researchers at the University of Texas, an enzyme has been found, that instigates the growth and maturation of stem cells lurking in bone marrow, causing the stem cells to step up production and replace lost blood and immune system cells.// It is possible the enzyme may also spur the growth of stem cells elsewhere in the body. This information may help researchers determin...

Artificial Light Stimulates Breast Cancer Growth In Mice: Study

Researchers at the Bassett Research Institute of the Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, New York and The Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pa have found that the growth of breast cancer in laboratory mice was // stimulated by the nighttime exposure to artificial light. The study, which was funded by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Environm...

Caffeine: Stimulates Sexual Behaviour in Females

A research conducted by Fay Guarraci, an assistance professor of psychology at south-western university and a graduate student revealed that moderate doses // of caffeine has a greater effect on the sexual behaviour of female rats. This study is one of the kinds and is among the first to determine the effects of caffeine on the sexual stimulation of the female rats. It also probes int...

Attractive Male Not Only Attracts but Stimulates

A recent study finds that the presence of attractive males stimulates the females to mature// early. Scientists from the Universities of Exeter and Glasgow discovered that some females become sexually mature more quickly if they see attractive males. The researchers studied a captive population of green swordtail fish, a species native to Central America and popular in t...

Breast Cancer Vaccine Stimulates Potent Immune Response to Cancer Cells

Mayo Clinic researchers have designed a new strategy in the promising field of cancer vaccine research that’s proven to be successful in boosting T cells -- the immune builders akin to a super defense// force against cancer cells. Scientists say their strategy may prove to be more successful than methods currently under study and in clinical trials. The research, which was lost to Hur...
