| Bone marrow transplant arrests symptoms in model of Rett syndrome Posted: 18 Mar 2012 11:39 AM PDT Medical researchers have used a bone marrow transplant to replace faulty immune system cells in models of Rett syndrome. The procedure arrested many severe symptoms of the childhood disorder, including abnormal breathing and movement, and extended the lifespan of Rett mouse models. Exploring the function of microglia deficient in the Rett protein scientists uncovered a completely novel approach to this devastating neurological syndrome.  |
| Genetic variation in East Asians found to explain resistance to cancer drugs Posted: 18 Mar 2012 11:39 AM PDT Scientists have identified the reason why some patients fail to respond to some of the most successful cancer drugs.  |
| Obesity raises death risk tied to sleeping pills Posted: 16 Mar 2012 03:57 PM PDT Obesity appears to significantly increase the risk of death tied to sleeping pills, nearly doubling the rate of mortality even among those prescribed 18 or fewer pills in a year, researchers have reported.  |
| Cell-signaling pathway has key role in development of gestational diabetes Posted: 16 Mar 2012 07:16 AM PDT Researchers have identified a cell-signaling pathway that plays a key role in increasing insulin secretion during pregnancy and, when blocked, leads to the development of gestational diabetes.  |
