| Smart enough to know better: Intelligence is not a remedy for racism Posted: 10 Aug 2013 09:53 PM PDT Smart people are just as racist as their less intelligent peers — they're just better at concealing their prejudice, according to a new study. |
| Research shows negative effects of half-siblings Posted: 10 Aug 2013 09:53 PM PDT Adolescents who have half-siblings with a different father are more likely to have used drugs and had sex by age 15 than those who have only full siblings, according to new research. |
| Thinking about family matters linked to stress for working moms, not dads Posted: 10 Aug 2013 09:53 PM PDT Although working mothers and fathers are almost as likely to think about family matters throughout the day, only for mothers is this type of mental labor associated with increased stress and negative emotions, according to new research. |
| Nanodrug targeting breast cancer cells from the inside adds weapon: Immune system attack Posted: 10 Aug 2013 03:37 AM PDT A unique nanoscale drug that can carry a variety of weapons and sneak into cancer cells to break them down from the inside has a new component: a protein that stimulates the immune system to attack HER2-positive breast cancer cells. |
| Combined therapy could repair and prevent damage in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, study suggests Posted: 10 Aug 2013 03:37 AM PDT New research on two promising gene therapies suggests that combining them into one treatment not only repairs muscle damage caused by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but also prevents future injury from the muscle-wasting disease. The work is the first to look at the approach in aged mice, a key step toward clinical trials in patients. |
| Successful treatment of triple negative breast cancer by modulation of the OGF-OGFr axis Posted: 10 Aug 2013 03:36 AM PDT Human triple-negative breast cancer can be treated by modulation of the opioid growth factor (OGF) - OGFr pathway. OGF suppresses cell growth by 20 percent within 24 hours in a receptor-mediated manner. Blockade of OGFr using low dosages of the opioid antagonist naltrexone causes a compensatory increase in OGF and results in 35 percent reductions in cell number within 72 hours. These data demonstrate a novel biological pathway for treatment of this deadly breast cancer. |
| Cigarette taxation helps to reduce drinking among groups considered vulnerable Posted: 10 Aug 2013 03:35 AM PDT A new study has examined the effects of cigarette taxation on alcohol consumption. Results suggest that increases in cigarette taxes are associated with modest to moderate reductions in alcohol consumption among vulnerable groups. Vulnerable groups include hazardous drinkers, young adult smokers, and smokers in the lowest income category. |
| Cultural mythologies strongly influence women's expectations about being pregnant Posted: 10 Aug 2013 03:30 AM PDT Morning sickness, shiny hair, and bizarre and intense cravings for pickles and ice cream — what expectations do pregnant women impose on their bodies, and how are those expectations influenced by cultural perspectives on pregnancy? |
| Children who overestimate their popularity less likely to be bullies Posted: 10 Aug 2013 03:30 AM PDT Children who overestimate their popularity are less likely to be bullies than those who underestimate or hold more accurate assessments of their social standing, finds new research. |
| People have more empathy for battered dogs than human adult, but not child, victims Posted: 10 Aug 2013 03:30 AM PDT People have more empathy for battered puppies and full grown dogs than they do for some humans — adults, but not children, finds new research. |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2013 08:50 AM PDT Chronic cocaine use may reduce the body's ability to store fat, new research suggests. |
| New treatment for brittle bone disease found Posted: 09 Aug 2013 08:50 AM PDT A new treatment for children with brittle bone disease has been developed. |
| New hope for improved TB treatments Posted: 09 Aug 2013 08:48 AM PDT Researchers have identified new markers of tuberculosis (TB) that may help in the development of new diagnostic tests and treatments. |
