New Study Reveals a Better Understanding of Tumor Growth
A new paper published by a research team from the PUPSMD (Plymouth Unverisity Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry), in the United Kingdom, reveals that if a specific tumor suppressing protein is lost, the result leads to an abnormal proliferation of nervous cells, thus leading to the development of tumors in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The paper ...
Key inflammatory marker is linked to cancer, according to new study
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have made interesting progress in the fight against cancer. The new study, that was published in the journal Oncogene, shows how an important component of the inflammatory response and immune cell growth can become an important factor in tumor growth. Jekyll-and-Hyde molecule NF-kappa B, as the researchers called it, is a first ...
CDC Reports That One in Five U.S. Children Suffers from a Mental Disorder
According to a new federal report, approximately 1 out of 5 American children aged under 17 can be diagnosed with a mental disorder, in a given year. The report was published last Thursday, representing the first comprehensive study done by the government agency in relation to the mental disorders that affect American children. The report, which was conducted by the ...
Researchers Reveal Novel Inflammation Pathway
Inflammation is an essential process that occurs in the organism. It is responsible for the protection of the body, through the destruction of harmful stimuli, such as bacteria and viruses, while also removing damaged or dead cells. However, if the process is either chronic or incorrectly controlled, it is responsible for various diseases, such as Chron's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, ...
Research Team Reveals Novel Anti-Cocaine Vaccine
Scientists from the Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York, the United States, reveal the test results of their newest anti-cocaine vaccine. The vaccine was tested on primates and thus came one step closer to the clinical trials on humans. Their paper was published in the online journal Neuropsychopharmacology earlier this week. The team demonstrated the effectiveness of their vaccine ...
Researchers are investigating new treatment for B cell lymphoma
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College are investigating a new treatment for a particular type of B cell lymphoma , that is with protein EZH2 mutations. The results so far have been promising and it seems that this new treatment could benefit a broader set of patients with lymphoma. The study, which was published in Cancer Cell, points out that this ...
Stem Cell Researchers Reveal Possible Breakthrough Towards Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases
Scientists from the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research, at the UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) managed to create a laboratory model of the disorder named ataxia telangiectasia, a very rare genetic disease, through the use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Their results show that several new drugs have positive effects, thus opening ...
Shortening of Telomeres Linked to Muscular Dystrophy Onset
A recent study that was published in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology reveals that the shortening of the telomeres (a process that is linked to the aging process of the organism) is associated with an increased gene expression associated with FSHD (Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy). FSHD, also known as Landouzy-Dejerine, is an autosomal dominant inherited form of muscular dystrophy which affects the skeletal muscles of the face (facio), scapula (scapulo) and upper ...
Researchers Reveal Link Between Champagne and Cognitive Health
A new study reveals that drinking champagne, anywhere from 1 to 3 glasses per week, could benefit your memory and postpone the onset of dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other degenerative brain disorders. The study was recently published in the journal Antioxidants and Redox Signalling. The research team, consisting of scientists from the University of Reading, in the United Kingdom, discovered that the ...
New discoveries made in multiple sclerosis treatment
Researchers at Stanford University Medical Center have made new advances in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Experiments conducted on laboratory animals have shown that blocking the expression of the protein, SIRT1, delays the onset of paralysis on multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by demyelination of the nervous system, leading to a wide range of neurological signs and ...
