| Bad air means bad news for seniors' brainpower Posted: 16 Nov 2012 01:10 PM PST Living in areas of high air pollution can lead to decreased cognitive function in older adults, according to new research.  |
| Clues to cause of kids' brain tumors Posted: 16 Nov 2012 06:12 AM PST Insights from a genetic condition that causes brain cancer are helping scientists better understand the most common type of brain tumor in children.  |
| Fetus suffers when mother lacks vitamin C Posted: 16 Nov 2012 05:56 AM PST Maternal vitamin C deficiency during pregnancy can have serious consequences for the fetal brain. And once brain damage has occurred, it cannot be reversed by vitamin C supplements after birth.  |
| Location, location, location: Membrane 'residence' gives proteases novel abilities Posted: 16 Nov 2012 05:53 AM PST Scientists have discovered a new mode of action for enzymes immersed in cellular membranes. Their experiments suggest that instead of recognizing and clipping proteins based on sequences of amino acids, these proteases' location within membranes gives them the unique ability to recognize and cut proteins with unstable structures.  |
| Arthritis study reveals why gender bias is all in the genes Posted: 15 Nov 2012 06:05 PM PST Researchers have pieced together new genetic clues to the arthritis puzzle in a study that brings potential treatments closer to reality and could also provide insights into why more women than men succumb to the disabling condition.  |
| Medical vital-sign monitoring reduced to the size of a postage stamp Posted: 15 Nov 2012 11:14 AM PST Electrical engineers have developed new technology to monitor medical vital signs, with sophisticated sensors so small and cheap they could fit onto a bandage, be manufactured in high volumes and cost less than a quarter.  |
| Study reveals insights that could aid in therapeutic use of mesenchymal stem cells Posted: 15 Nov 2012 10:37 AM PST Research reveals new insights into how mesenchymal stem cells "traffic" from the circulation into the tissue, providing important clues that could be used to improve the delivery of this promising therapy.  |
| Surprising genetic link between kidney defects and neurodevelopmental disorders in kids Posted: 15 Nov 2012 10:23 AM PST About 10 percent of kids born with kidney defects have large alterations in their genomes known to be linked with neurodevelopmental delay and mental illness, a new study has shown.  |
| Posted: 14 Nov 2012 04:26 PM PST The risk of developing multiple sclerosis is highest in the month of April, and lowest in October, indicates an analysis of the available evidence, published online in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.  |
