Sudden Cardiac Death And Circadian Rhythms Link On A Molecular Basis
In a study which will be published in the March issue of the journal Nature, scientists reported the discovery of a molecular basis of the link between circadian rhythms and sudden cardiac death. Sudden cardiac death is a natural , rapid and unexpected death that occurs within one hour after the onset of cardiac acute symptoms. Sudden cardiac death is the leading cause of ...
New Study Finds Method To Inhibit Pain-Sensitive Neurons
A team consisting of researchers based in Berkeley, Bordeaux and Munich has discovered a method to command the inhibition of pain-sensitive neurons. In order to achieve this, researchers targeted a chemical sensor. With the use of a chemical sensor that acts as a photosensitive switch, the team of chemists from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, along with their colleagues from Berkeley and Bordeaux, ...
Researchers One Step Closer Towards Xenotransplantation Of Pig Cells
According to a study conducted at Bellvitage Biomedical Institute, natural killer cells are the culprit behind porcine chondrocytes rejection. The study was published in The Journal Of Immunology and pointed out that natural killer cells activate the innate immune system, thus having a major role in xenotransplantation (organs or cells that are transplanted from another species) rejection mechanism. Natural killer cells represent the first line of ...
Study Reveals Possible Link Between Social And Physical Pain
A new study led by researcher Naomi Eisenberger, from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) reveals a possible link between social and physical pain. The study was recently published in the journal Current Directions in Psychological Science. According to Eisenberger a survey was conducted, that asked patients about negative past experiences. She says that most of the answers given by the patients ...
Better Prognosis For 40-49 Year-Olds Breast Cancer Patients Diagnosed Using Mammography
According to a study conducted at the Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle, mammography-detected breast cancers between 40 and 49 years have a better prognosis and longer survival rates. Dr. Malmgren along with a team researchers have conducted a study and reviewed the charts of patients with breast cancer aged between 40 and 49 years, treated between 1990 to 2008. The study included a sample of 1977 ...
Experimental Treatment Slows Huntington’s Disease Progression
Huntington's disease is basically a dominant genetic disorder characterized by chorea and progressive cognitive deterioration with a sudden onset during the middle age period. It can only be diagnosed by genetic testing. To be more specific, Huntington's disease leads to sudden uncontrolled movements, mental and emotional deterioration. Lifetime expectancy ib about fifteen years after the disease has been diagnosed. Until now, the only management ...
Noninvasive Method For Evaluating Down Syndrome Risk Discovered
Scientists at Aria Diagnostics in San Jose, have discovered a new method to detect chromosomal abnormalities . The recent statistical algorithm, DANSR/FORTE assay, can detect 21 and 18 trisomy using a noninvasive test performed on maternal blood. Unlike other genetic screening tests, this assay is more scalable and has the benefit of reducing the number of unnecessary amniocenteses. Children born with trisomy 18 or trisomy ...
Hidden Properties Of Genetic Mutations Leading To Cancer Revealed
Researchers have discovered that some types of cancer caused by genetic mutations contain electronic signatures 'hidden in better ways' than other types of mutations. This characteristic may help them to stay undiscovered by the human body’ s defence mechanisms. The physicists from Taiwan and the University of Warwick have conducted a new study according to which the electronic features of the DNA could be used for diagnosing ...
New Hope For Regenerating Damaged Nerves
According to a study published in the journal PLoS One, a new way to regenerate damaged nerves has been discovered. Dr.Jason Huang, associate professor of Neurosurgery and chief of Neurosurgery at Highland Hospital, and his colleagues, discovered that the dorsal root ganglion neurons (DRG cells) help new nerves to form, without triggering an immune response from the body. This represents a remarkable finding because more ...
Mitochondria Could Represent A New Target For Cancer Therapy, According To New Study
A new breakthrough in cancer therapy suggests that the mitochondria may be targeted by future cancer therapies. Scientists from Chicago University were able to regulate the number of mitochondria in cancerous cells by manipulating two biochemical signals, thus obtaining a size reduction of human lung cancer transplanted into lab mice. Mitochondria represent the most important energetic structure of the cell, being involved in cellular ...
