| Combination therapy may be better than radiotherapy alone to treat aggressive brain cancer Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:53 AM PST Radiotherapy effectively damages brain tumors but the cancer cells can repair themselves in order to live on. Now, researchers have tested a strategy that combines radiotherapy with a drug that shuts down the ability of tumor to mend themselves.      |
| Structure of a hantavirus protein as a promising model for drug design Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:53 AM PST There is no treatment for infection with the dangerous hantavirus. Scientists have now identified the three-dimensional structure of a hantavirus protein that is essential for replication of the virus. They have published their findings, providing a blueprint for the design of antiviral drugs. |
| Researchers find association between oral bacteria and esophageal cancer Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:53 AM PST Researchers have found a bacterial species responsible for gum disease, Porphyromonas gingivalis, is present in 61 percent of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. |
| Smart glasses offer users a keyboard to type text Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:53 AM PST K-Glass, smart glasses reinforced with augmented reality that were first developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2014, with the second version released in 2015, is back with an even stronger model. The latest version, called K-Glass 3, allows users to text a message or type in key words for Internet surfing by offering a virtual keyboard for text and even one for a piano. |
| Newly found genomic causes of severe compulsiveness in dogs could aid study of human OCD Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:53 AM PST Research led by investigators in veterinary and human medicine has identified genetic pathways that exacerbate severity of canine compulsive disorder in Doberman pinschers, a discovery that could lead to better therapies for obsessive compulsive disorder in people. |
| Determining the structures of nanocrystalline pharmaceuticals by electron diffraction Posted: 26 Feb 2016 08:52 AM PST Reliable information about the structure of pharmaceutical compounds is important for patient safety, for the development of related drugs and for patenting purposes. However, working out the structures of pharmaceuticals can be tough. |
| Scientists warn of the dangers of salt pollution of freshwaters if preventive measures are not taken Posted: 26 Feb 2016 05:58 AM PST A new article warns of the dangers of increasing water salinity for human health and freshwater ecosystems (rivers, lakes, etc.) and the economic cost arising from a lack of public policies to tackle this problem. |
