| New trial hopes to increase survival for kids with cancer, reduce risk of long term cardiac damage Posted: 17 Dec 2016 10:51 AM PST Imagine conquering childhood cancer, only to find out that years down the road your heart may fail. Unfortunately, many children who have battled cancer face this reality. While often lifesaving, the effects of chemotherapy treatment (drugs that kill cancer cells) can take a toll on the developing body of a child, potentially resulting in life-threatening late side effects like cardiac damage. |
| Bai jiu: Chinese moonshine has high ethanol and acetaldehyde levels Posted: 16 Dec 2016 04:21 PM PST Bai jiu are distilled spirits made and used throughout rural China for everyday use and special occasions. Distillation of bai jiu is regulated lightly or not at all and nearly every town or village has a distiller. Little is known about the composition of these Chinese spirits, a gap this study seeks to fill given the health risks associated with their high ethanol and high acetaldehyde concentrations. |
| Guards of the human immune system unraveled Posted: 16 Dec 2016 11:22 AM PST Dendritic cells represent an important component of the immune system: they recognize and engulf invaders, which subsequently triggers a pathogen-specific immune response. Scientists gained substantial knowledge of human dendritic cells, which might contribute to the development of immune therapies in the future. |
| Copd: What causes the lungs to lose their ability to heal? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 08:55 AM PST In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the patients' lungs lose their ability to repair damages on their own. Scientists now have a new idea as to why this might be so.They blame the molecule Wnt5a for this problem. |
| Silencing fat protein improves obesity and blood sugar Posted: 15 Dec 2016 02:53 PM PST Scientists report that turning off a protein found in liver and adipose tissue significantly improves blood sugar levels and reduces body fat in an animal model. |
