But now researchers in Denmark, Portugal and France, publishing in the journal Clinical Cancer Research1, show that H. pylori infection contribution to cancer…
In recent years it has been discussed more and more often that it is neural stem cells in the brain that are transmuted into cancer cells and can then develop…
The research discovery builds on previous work identifying a specific molecular target whose increased activity is associated with seizure disorders, a…
Many hematological malignancies are associated with a genetic error in which a portion of one chromosome has broken and fused with another chromosome. This…
Scientists have identified a protein that appears not only to be central to the process that causes Parkinson's disease but could also play a role in muting…
A newly discovered gene known as DEAR1 is mutated in breast cancer and is an independent predictor of local recurrence-free survival in early-onset breast…
Human embryonic stem cells are theoretically capable of differentiation to all cells of the mature human body (and are hence defined as “pluripotent”).This…
One can have a dream, two can make that dream so real, goes a popular song. Now a Weizmann Institute study has revealed that it takes two to perform an…
The process used to create nonwoven toxic chemical decontamination wipes, such as Texas Tech University’s Fibertect™, recently received a patent from the…
For the purpose of promoting the USGENE® in-house version more effectively in Europe, US-based SequenceBase Corporation and FIZ Karlsruhe have entered into an…
But likely due to genetics, even the recommended dose can induce serious liver damage in a significant number of people. In a study published online in Genome…
The description of compounds and interactions between atoms is one of the basic objectives of chemistry. Admittedly, chemical bonding models, which describe…
As they report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, their work involves magnetic iron oxide particles with a fluorescence dye, RNA fragments, and a special…
As the swine flu continues its global spread, researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have discovered important clues about why…
Virginia Tech virologist Chris Roberts' goal is to develop a platform for a flu vaccine that allows rapid modifications to meet new strains of flu. Since 90…
It has long been known that heat is an effective weapon against tumor cells. However, it's difficult to heat patients' tumors without damaging nearby tissues.Now, MIT researchers have developed tiny gold particles that can home in on tumors, and then, by absorbing energy from near-infrared light and emitting it as heat, destroy tumors with minimal side effects….
