While on trail of dioxin, scientists pinpoint cancer target of green tea
Green tea appears to protect against cancer by affecting a "promiscuous" protein that pharmaceutical experts are already targeting in an effort to develop a new drug to stop the disease, scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have found. The research, which buttresses beliefs about the health benefits of green tea with solid scientific evidence, has been cited as part of the bes...History-hunting geneticists can still follow familiar trail
As the world's first explorers branched away from humanity's birthplace in east Africa some 65,000 years ago, distinct mutations accumulated in the DNA of each population, essentially providing a genetic trail for modern researchers to follow. Recently some scientists have raised doubts about this classic genetic system to study ancient migrations of people and to estimate the populations...Researchers hot on the trail of brain cell degeneration
A research team headed by Academy Research Fellow Michael Courtney has identified a new molecular pathway in neurons. The pathway is a factor in the degeneration of brain cells, which in turn plays an important role in neurological conditions and diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and stroke. Courtney and his team, based at the A. I. Virtanen Institute of the University of Kuopio, jo...Human sTRAIL Receptor-1 (DR4), Unconjugated from PeproTech

That question arose during a recent presentation by UW-Madison Professor Gabriela Cezar on the state of stem cell science in the United States and around the world. The answers say something about Wiscons...Deadly Diarrhoea Vaccine – Trail Results Promising
Diarrhoea is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in India. An attempt to formulate// a vaccine against this deadly disease, which has claimed so many young lives, is worth the expense. India is set to begin the phase II clinical trials of a new vaccine for a deadly form of diarrhoea that causes thousands of deaths annually in India. This move has been accelerated after phase I...Clinical Renal Trails Do Not Have Sufficient Women Participants
New findings that are being presented during the American Society of Nephrology’s 38th Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, say that women are not being adequately represented during medical trials // more specifically renal trials. Through analyses of the recently conducted renal trials showed this shortcoming. It is theorized that this may be the r...Phase II trails of new HIV vaccine to be held in South Africa
In a step further to combat the AIDS epidemic, South Africa's first Phase II HIV vaccine trials were launched by charitable group the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) and U.S.-based Targeted Genetics Corporation. // The trials will test the safety of "tgAAC09" is a preventive HIV vaccine candidate that is based on HIV subtype C, the subtype of the virus most prevalent in s...Beware of stroke that trails heart attack
A study conducted and headed by Veronique Roger, M.D., M.P.H., at the Mayo Cardiologist Clinic showed that following heart attack there is a high risk of these patients suffering from stroke//. The results were reported that the stroke risk was 44 times more during the 30 day period after the attack in these patients when compared to the normal person. The study is very importa...Trails to detect effective breast cancer drugs that reduces recurrences
A quest for new drug has started to determine and help patients to have a recurrence free survival after breast cancer surgery. The chemotherapy drugs docetaxel (Taxotere) and vinorelbine (Navelbine) are tested to analyze the outcomes.// It was previously reported by the Finnish researchers that patients who received infusions of trastuzumab (Herceptin) were less likely to get recurrenc...
