Mouse brain cells rapidly recover after Alzheimer's plaques are cleared
Brain cells in a mouse model of Alzheimer'sdisease have surprised scientists with their ability to recuperateafter the disorder's characteristic brain plaques are removed.Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louisinjected mice with an antibody for a key component of brain plaques,the amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide. In areas of the brain whereantibodies cleared plaque...AIDS Public Awareness Campaign Expands Following Report Of Rapidly Progressive HIV
State Health Commissioner Antonia C. Novello, M.D., M.P.H., Dr.P.H., today announced the expansion of New York State's HIV/AIDS Public Awareness and Education campaign to help combat the potential spread of HIV and further protect New Yorkers from the virus that causes AIDS. Dr. Novello said, "In light of recent reports of a drug-resistant, rapidly progressive strain of HIV in New York Ci...New technique rapidly detects illness-causing bacteria
Cornell University scientists have developed a rapid, less costly and sensitive new technique for detecting group A streptococcus, the bacteria that cause scarlet fever. Details will be announced today at the Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo in New Orleans. The presentation by Sam Nugen, a graduate student in Cornell's food science department, will focus on dete...Prions rapidly 'remodel' good protein into bad, Brown study shows
Two Brown Medical School biologists have figured out the fate of healthy protein when it comes in contact with the infectious prion form in yeast: The protein converts to the prion form, rendering it infectious. In an instant, good protein goes bad. This quick-change "mating" maneuver sheds important light on the mysterious molecular machinery behind prions, infectious proteins that cause...Scientists must offer solutions for conserving tropical forests in a rapidly changing world
As the future of the tropics unfolds, scientists must explain the dimensions and mechanisms of forest responses to rapid human-population increase and environmental changesAs human populations and their impacts on the world increase, tropical forests are changing in many different ways. Forests are being cleared, burned, logged, fragmented, and overhunted and an unprecedented pace, and they are...Fluorescence-Based Single-Tube Assays to Rapidly Detect Human Gene Mutations

A recent study has now found that educated people could face increased risk from Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common cause of dementia in old people. // Although Alzheimer's tends to be associated with a later age of onset among the educated, it progresses more rapidly. In other words, in highly educated people, a rapid decline is noted following onset of Alzheimer's manifes...With More Appearance Conscious Consumers The Need For Slimming Products Is Rapidly Rising
With the increase in concern of ones appearance, their a large demand for slimming products among consumers shows a latest survey conducted in Belgium.// The survey also shows that slimming products in Belgium grew by 14 per cent in value over 2004 to reach a retail value of €29 million. Despite the drive by both doctors and government authorities to increase awareness of...Breast Cancer In India Rising Rapidly
The incidence of breast cancer in India is on the rise and is rapidly becoming the number one cancer in females pushing the cervical cancer to the second spot. The seriousness of the situation is apparent after going through recent data from Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). // The rise is being documented mainly in the metros, but it can be safely said that many cases in rura...
