| Brain diseases manifest in the retina of the eye Posted: 03 Oct 2016 07:13 AM PDT Diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) may manifest as pathological changes in the retina of the eye. Research now shows that retinal changes may be detected earlier than brain changes. Findings from mouse models suggest that eye examination could be used as a noninvasive screening tool for human brain diseases. |
| New large prehistoric shark discovered Posted: 03 Oct 2016 06:33 AM PDT Megalolamna paradoxodon is the name of a new extinct shark described by an international research team who based their discovery on fossilized teeth up to 4.5 centimeters (1.8 inches) tall found from the eastern and western United States (California and North Carolina), Peru and Japan. |
| IL-34: New, possible target to tackle drug-resistant cancer cells Posted: 03 Oct 2016 06:24 AM PDT Chemoresistant lung cancer cells suppress immune functions and strengthen resistance to chemotherapy by producing interleukin-34 (IL-34)—a type of cytokine, a team of researchers has discovered. |
| Self-adhesive dressing generates electrical current that promotes healing, reduces infection risk Posted: 30 Sep 2016 06:41 PM PDT From precious metals to maggots, physicians have tried just about everything to help reverse the negative spiral of chronic wounds. And for good reason – these types of non-healing wounds currently cost the healthcare system in excess of $20 billion a year, and millions of sufferers endure months of pain, disability and the constant concern of infection. Now, scientists are testing an experimental electrified mesh bandage that zaps bacteria and stimulates tissue healing. |
| Abnormal brain protein may contribute to Alzheimer's disease development Posted: 30 Sep 2016 06:41 PM PDT A recently-recognized pathologic protein in the brain may play a larger role in the development of clinical Alzheimer's disease dementia than previously recognized, according to a new study of nearly 1,000 older adults. |
| Solution for secure processing of patient data revealed Posted: 30 Sep 2016 05:06 AM PDT Large-scale research involving patient data can be done without threat to either the security of the information or the privacy of the patients, thanks to a newly revealed technique. This technique will be used for a new, large-scale study of Parkinson's disease. |
