| Combining Chinese, Western medicine could lead to new cancer treatments Posted: 28 Sep 2013 06:10 AM PDT Combining traditional forms of Chinese and Western medicine could offer new hope for developing new treatments for liver, lung, colorectal cancers and osteosarcoma of the bones. |
| New breast cancer imaging technique could cut down on false positives Posted: 27 Sep 2013 06:27 AM PDT A new breast cancer screening technique is being developed that has the potential to reduce false positives, and, possibly, minimize the need for invasive biopsies. Scientists have created an MRI device that could improve both the process and accuracy of breast cancer screening by scanning for sodium levels in the breast. |
| Baculovirus-recognising human cell receptor identified for the first time Posted: 27 Sep 2013 06:23 AM PDT The receptor used by baculovirus to enter and interact with human cells has been identified for the first time. |
| Study on 90-year-olds reveals the benefits of strength training Posted: 27 Sep 2013 06:23 AM PDT After doing specific training for 12 weeks, people over the age of 90 improved their strength, power and muscle mass. This was reflected in an increase in their walking speed, a greater capacity to get out of their chairs, an improvement in their balance, a significant reduction in the incidence of falls, a significant improvement in muscle power, and mass in the lower limbs. |
| African breed of cattle harbours potential defense against life-threatening parasite Posted: 27 Sep 2013 06:23 AM PDT Every year, millions of cattle die of trypanosomosis - among the ten diseases of cattle with the greatest impact on the poor. In Africa the disease is known as "Nagana", which translates literally as "being in low or depressed spirits". The disease is caused by a parasite that enters the animals' blood as a result of the bite of the Tsetse fly. |
| Repurposed antidepressants may treat small-cell lung cancer Posted: 27 Sep 2013 06:22 AM PDT A bioinformatics approach to repurposing drugs resulted in identification of a class of antidepressants as a potential new treatment for small-cell lung cancer. |
| Over the limit: Size, shape, color of wine glass affect how much you pour Posted: 27 Sep 2013 06:22 AM PDT Most people think of a glass of wine as one serving, but in reality it could be two or three. Just how much one pours is influenced by a variety of factors, and that could lead to over-consumption. |
| The spliceosome: More than meets the eye Posted: 26 Sep 2013 05:50 PM PDT In a recent paper, a team of researchers explain how the molecular machine known as the spliceosome begins the process of rearranging gene sequences in RNA splicing. |
| Dramatic fall in death rates after hip replacements Posted: 26 Sep 2013 05:47 PM PDT Mortality rates in the first 90 days following hip replacement surgery have halved, according to a study. |
