| Alzheimer fibrils at atomic resolution Posted: 05 Aug 2016 08:52 AM PDT Elongated fibers (fibrils) of the beta-amyloid protein form the typical senile plaques present in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. A research team has simultaneously succeeded in elucidating the structure of the most disease-relevant beta-amyloid peptide 1-42 fibrils at atomic resolution. This simplifies the targeted search for drugs to treat Alzheimer's dementia. |
| New way to inhibit development of lung cancer Posted: 05 Aug 2016 08:52 AM PDT Medical researchers have found that inhibiting a protein called BMI1 could inhibit the development of lung cancer. |
| Microscopic collisions help proteins stay healthy Posted: 05 Aug 2016 08:52 AM PDT Studies are providing basic new understanding about 'heat shock proteins,' also called'chaperone proteins.' Researchers presented data that show how heat shock proteins break apart protein complexes. |
| Why you're stiff in the morning: Your body suppresses inflammation when you sleep at night Posted: 05 Aug 2016 08:52 AM PDT New research describes a protein created by the body's 'biological clock' that actively represses inflammatory pathways within the affected limbs during the night. |
| Microcephaly discoveries made in non-Zika cases help explain abnormal brain growth Posted: 05 Aug 2016 06:22 AM PDT Long before Zika virus made it a household word, the birth defect called microcephaly puzzled scientists and doctors -- even as it changed the lives of the babies born with it during the pre-Zika era. But new discoveries may help explain what happens in the developing brains that causes babies to be born with small brains and heads. |
| Brain network of psychopathic criminal functions differently Posted: 05 Aug 2016 06:22 AM PDT A strong focus on reward combined with a lack of self-control appears to be linked to the tendency to commit an offence. Brain scans show that this combination occurs in psychopathic criminals, say researchers from Nijmegen in an article in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience. |
| Major treatment expansion could essentially eliminate hepatitis C in R.I. by 2030 Posted: 05 Aug 2016 06:21 AM PDT As the state takes a deep look at its hepatitis C epidemic, researchers have crunched the numbers to project what could be done to lift Rhode Island's burden of death and disease. |
| Specific brain training reduces dementia risk across 10 years Posted: 04 Aug 2016 10:58 AM PDT While many companies have long promised that their brain-training products can sharpen aging minds, only one type of computerized brain training so far has been shown to improve people's mental quickness and significantly reduce the risk of dementia, according to new research. |
| Curiosity has the power to change behavior for the better Posted: 04 Aug 2016 10:54 AM PDT Curiosity could be an effective tool to entice people into making smarter and sometimes healthier decisions. |
