| Researchers use sugar to halt esophageal cancer in its tracks Posted: 15 Jan 2012 12:09 PM PST Scientists have identified changes in the patterns of sugar molecules that line pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus, a condition called Barrett's dysplasia, making it much easier to detect and remove these cells before they develop into esophageal cancer. These findings have important implications for patients and may help to monitor their condition and prevent the development of cancer.  |
| Scientists introduces automated imaging to greatly speed whole-brain mapping efforts Posted: 15 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST New technology transforms the way detailed anatomical images can be made of whole brains and will greatly facilitate systematic comparison of neuroanatomy in mouse models of human brain disorders, e.g., autism and schizophrenia.  |
| Researchers use sugar to halt esophageal cancer in its tracks Posted: 15 Jan 2012 10:59 AM PST Scientists have identified changes in the patterns of sugar molecules that line pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus, a condition called Barrett's dysplasia, making it much easier to detect and remove these cells before they develop into esophageal cancer. These findings have important implications for patients and may help to monitor their condition and prevent the development of cancer.  |
| Chemotherapy may influence leukemia relapse Posted: 11 Jan 2012 10:35 AM PST The chemotherapy drugs required to push a common form of adult leukemia into remission may contribute to DNA damage that can lead to a relapse of the disease in some patients, findings of a new study suggest.  |
| How the brain computes 3-dimensional structure Posted: 11 Jan 2012 10:35 AM PST The ability of our brain to create a 3D representation from an object's 2D projection on the retina is not well understood and is likely to be highly complex. Now, new research provides the first direct evidence that specific brain areas underlie perception of different 3D structures and sheds light the way that the primate brain reconstructs real-world objects.  |
| How the brain puts the brakes on negative impact of cocaine Posted: 11 Jan 2012 10:35 AM PST New research provides fascinating insight into a newly discovered brain mechanism that limits the rewarding impact of cocaine. The study describes protective delayed mechanism that turns off the genes that support the development of addiction-related behaviors. The findings may lead to a better understanding of vulnerability to addiction and as well as new strategies for treatment.  |
| Increase dietary fiber, decrease disease Posted: 11 Jan 2012 07:38 AM PST We should all be eating more dietary fiber to improve our health -- that's the message from a health review by scientists in India. Researchers suggest fruit, vegetables, whole-grain foods, such as muesli and porridge, beans and pulses, as readily available foods rich in dietary fiber.  |
| Short, sharp shock treatment for E. coli Posted: 11 Jan 2012 07:38 AM PST A short burst of low voltage alternating current can effectively eradicate E. coli bacteria growing on the surface of even heavily contaminated beef, according to a new study. The technique offers an inexpensive and easy to implement approach to reducing the risk of food poisoning, which can occur despite handlers complying with hygiene standards.  |
| Intestinal worms may help promote healing Posted: 10 Jan 2012 04:27 PM PST Intestinal worm infections may not be all bad, according to a new study. In research on mice immune reaction to the presence of intestinal worms was found to promote wound healing in the lungs.  |
