| Scientists measure communication between stem cell-derived motor neurons and muscle cells Posted: 04 May 2012 02:20 PM PDT Researchers have developed a novel system to measure the communication between stem cell-derived motor neurons and muscle cells in a Petri dish.  |
| Parents important in steering kids away from sedentary activities Posted: 04 May 2012 02:19 PM PDT Parents can have a significant impact in steering young children away from too much time spent in sedentary pursuits.  |
| New technique could identify drugs that help fight broad range of viruses Posted: 04 May 2012 02:19 PM PDT Results of a new study demonstrate the feasibility of a novel strategy in drug discovery: screening large numbers of existing drugs — often already approved for other uses — to see which ones activate genes that boost natural immunity.  |
| Expensive hospital readmissions linked to health-care-associated infections Posted: 04 May 2012 10:59 AM PDT New research finds a strong link between healthcare-associated infections and patient readmission after an initial hospital stay. The findings suggest that reducing such infections could help reduce readmissions, considered to be a major driver of unnecessary healthcare spending and increased patient morbidity and mortality.  |
| Scientists identify prostate cancer stem cells among low-PSA cells Posted: 04 May 2012 10:59 AM PDT Prostate cancer cells that defy treatment and display heightened tumor-generating capacity can be identified by levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) expressed in the tumor cells, scientists have found.  |
| Scientists aim to kill lung tumors Posted: 04 May 2012 10:58 AM PDT Enzyme regulates the division of tumor cells and blood vessel growth in the cancer tissue.  |
| New muscular dystrophy treatment approach developed using human stem cells Posted: 04 May 2012 08:05 AM PDT Researchers have effectively treated muscular dystrophy in mice using human stem cells derived from a new process that -- for the first time -- makes the production of human muscle cells from stem cells efficient and effective.  |
| Beehive extract shows potential as prostate cancer treatment Posted: 04 May 2012 08:04 AM PDT An over-the-counter natural remedy derived from honeybee hives arrests the growth of prostate cancer cells and tumors in mice, according to a new article. Researchers combined traditional cancer research methods with cutting-edge proteomics to find that CAPE arrests early-stage prostate cancer by shutting down the tumor cells' system for detecting sources of nutrition.  |
