| In breast cancer metastasis, researchers identify possible drug target Posted: 27 Jan 2013 10:42 AM PST The spread of breast cancer to distant organs within the body, an event that often leads to death, appears in many cases to involve the loss of a key protein, according to researchers, whose new discoveries point to possible targets for therapy.  |
| Poor sleep in old age prevents the brain from storing memories Posted: 27 Jan 2013 10:42 AM PST The connection between poor sleep, memory loss and brain deterioration as we grow older has been elusive. But for the first time, scientists have found a link between these hallmark maladies of old age. Their discovery opens the door to boosting the quality of sleep in elderly people to improve memory.  |
| Patients' own skin cells are transformed into heart cells to create 'disease in a dish' Posted: 27 Jan 2013 10:42 AM PST Researchers have unveiled the first maturation-based "disease in a dish" model for arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). The model was created using induced pluripotent stem cells and a new method to mimic metabolic maturity. This model is likely more relevant to human ARVD/C than other models and therefore better suited for studying the disease and testing new treatments.  |
