| Tobacco company misrepresented danger from cigarettes, study suggests Posted: 06 Jan 2012 01:49 PM PST A new analysis of tobacco industry documents shows that Philip Morris USA manipulated data on the effects of additives in cigarettes, including menthol, obscuring actual toxicity levels and increasing the risk of heart, cancer and other diseases for smokers, study says. |
| Master controller of memory identified Posted: 06 Jan 2012 01:49 PM PST One gene appears to regulate the brain's ability to form new memories. |
| Patterns of connections reveal brain functions Posted: 06 Jan 2012 01:49 PM PST Neuroscientists have identified face-recognition areas based on what parts of the brain they link to. |
| Drug to treat HIV in children shows promise via national clinical trial Posted: 06 Jan 2012 10:58 AM PST For children with HIV infection, the FDA approval of the use of raltegravir, an antiretroviral drug that slows the spread of HIV infection, offers a new weapon to treat HIV infection in children. |
| Hopes for reversing age-associated effects in MS patients Posted: 06 Jan 2012 10:03 AM PST New research highlights the possibility of reversing aging in the central nervous system for multiple sclerosis patients. |
| Malignancy-risk gene signature for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer found Posted: 06 Jan 2012 08:30 AM PST A malignancy-risk gene signature developed for breast cancer has been found to have predictive and prognostic value for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer. |
| How poor maternal diet can increase risk of diabetes: New mechanism discovered Posted: 06 Jan 2012 08:05 AM PST Researchers have shown one way in which poor nutrition in the womb can put a person at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other age-related diseases in later life. This finding could lead to new ways of identifying people who are at a higher risk of developing these diseases and might open up targets for treatment. |
| Cancer treatment with minor side effects Posted: 06 Jan 2012 08:02 AM PST Side effects are currently the biggest problem with any cancer treatment. A new company is drawing closer to the goal of creating a treatment which kills only cancer cells, leaving other cells unaffected. |
| Measuring the dialogue between cortical areas in non-communicating patients Posted: 06 Jan 2012 08:02 AM PST Measuring the level of internal brain communication allows single-subject discrimination between vegetative state patients and patients who recover a minimal level of consciousness, study suggests. Crucially, this can be obtained at the bedside and does not rely on the integrity of sensory and motor pathways nor on the subject's ability to comprehend or carry out instructions. |
| Moderate red wine drinking may help cut women’s breast cancer risk, study suggests Posted: 06 Jan 2012 07:59 AM PST Drinking red wine in moderation may reduce one of the risk factors for breast cancer, providing a natural weapon to combat a major cause of death among U.S. women, new research shows. |
| Research demonstrating link between virus and MS could point the way to treatment and prevention Posted: 05 Jan 2012 08:20 AM PST A new study from researchers at Queen Mary, University of London shows how a particular virus tricks the immune system into triggering inflammation and nerve cell damage in the brain, which is known to cause MS. |
