| Substance with the potential to postpone aging Posted: 14 Oct 2016 12:23 PM PDT The coenzyme NAD+ plays a main role in aging processes. In mice and roundworm adding the substance can both extend life and postpone the onset of aging processes. New research shows that this new knowledge will eventually be able to help patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. |
| First Zika sequence isolated from semen Posted: 13 Oct 2016 12:26 PM PDT A team of researchers has obtained the first complete genome sequence of Zika virus that was isolated from a semen sample. The motivation for this investigation was a 2011 case report in the US suggesting that Zika virus could be transmitted sexually. |
| Rich or poor? Where you start in life influences cancer risk in adulthood Posted: 13 Oct 2016 12:13 PM PDT A recent study has found that circumstances in childhood, such as parental occupation at birth and neighborhood income, might be associated with different risks of certain cancers later in life. |
| Bioengineers' sweat sensor monitors glucose Posted: 13 Oct 2016 12:05 PM PDT Researchers are sweating the small stuff in their efforts to develop a wearable device that can monitor an individual's glucose level via perspiration on the skin. They have demonstrated the capabilities of a biosensor they designed to reliably detect and quantify glucose in human sweat. |
| High folate intake linked with nerve-damage risk in older adults with common gene variant Posted: 12 Oct 2016 11:16 AM PDT High folate (vitamin B9) consumption is associated with an increased risk for a nerve-damage disorder in older adults who have a common genetic variant linked to reduced cellular vitamin B12 availability, report researchers. |
| New findings challenge current view of how pancreatic cancer develops Posted: 12 Oct 2016 11:03 AM PDT Researchers in the multidisciplinary PanCuRx research initiative in Ontario, Canada have published new findings that challenge current beliefs about how and why pancreatic cancer is so aggressive. |
| How protein fragments associated with Alzheimer's could trigger Parkinson's Posted: 12 Oct 2016 10:25 AM PDT Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are different neurodegenerative conditions that can sometimes affect the same person, which has led scientists to investigate possible links between the two. Now a team has identified how amyloid beta, the protein fragment strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease, can induce cellular changes that might lead to Parkinson's. |
