| Can a parent's concerns predict autism? Posted: 23 Apr 2015 03:25 PM PDT New research shows that many parents notice signs of autism spectrum disorder in their infant children far before an official diagnosis. The study concludes that parental concerns for their children starting as early as six months of age can be predictive of autism spectrum disorder. |
| Long-term exposure to air pollution may pose risk to brain structure, cognitive functions Posted: 23 Apr 2015 03:23 PM PDT Air pollution, even at moderate levels, has long been recognized as a factor in raising the risk of stroke. A new study suggests that long-term exposure can cause damage to brain structures and impair cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults. |
| Chance and circumstance tip immune control of cancer Posted: 23 Apr 2015 12:47 PM PDT Researchers developed a new computational model that elucidates the dynamic interplay between cancer and the immune system. |
| In search of tinnitus, that phantom ringing in the ears Posted: 23 Apr 2015 09:58 AM PDT About one in five people experience tinnitus, the perception of a sound -- often described as ringing -- that isn't really there. Now, researchers have taken advantage of a rare opportunity to record directly from the brain of a person with tinnitus in order to find the brain networks responsible. |
| Crime scene discovery: Scientist separates the DNA of identical twins Posted: 23 Apr 2015 09:57 AM PDT Since its first use in the 1980s -- a breakthrough dramatized in recent crime-solving dramas -- DNA profiling has been a vital tool for forensic investigators. Now researchers have solved one of its few limitations by successfully testing a technique for distinguishing between the DNA -- or genetic fingerprint -- of identical twins. |
| Reducing school bus pollution improves children's health Posted: 23 Apr 2015 09:48 AM PDT Use of clean fuels and updated pollution control measures in the school buses 25 million children ride every day could result in 14 million fewer absences from school a year, based on a new study. |
| Extra sleep fixes memory problems in flies with Alzheimer's-like condition Posted: 23 Apr 2015 09:48 AM PDT Many studies have linked more sleep to better memory, but new research in fruit flies demonstrates that extra sleep helps the brain overcome catastrophic neurological defects that otherwise would block memory formation, report scientists. |
| Nanotech-enabled moisturizer speeds healing of diabetic skin wounds Posted: 23 Apr 2015 07:26 AM PDT A new high-tech but simple ointment applied to the skin may one day help diabetic patients heal stubborn and painful ulcers on their feet, Northwestern University researchers report. They are the first to develop a topical gene regulation technology that speeds the healing of ulcers in diabetic animals. The scientists combined spherical nucleic acids with a common commercial moisturizer to create a way to topically knock down a gene known to interfere with wound healing. |
| Curry: Curcumin offers potential therapy for cancers caused by HPV Posted: 23 Apr 2015 07:23 AM PDT Curcumin, an antioxidant found in the curry spice turmeric, has been found to slow or limit the activity of the HPV virus, which causes oral and cervical cancers. |
