| Ancient enzyme morphed shape to carry out new functions in humans Posted: 09 Dec 2016 11:48 AM PST A human enzyme has changed little from its days as a bacterial enzyme, new research reveals. In fact, the enzyme appears to be unique in its ability to change its shape—and its job in cells—without overhauling its basic architecture. |
| Erasing the line between imaging, analyzing Posted: 09 Dec 2016 10:34 AM PST Current biomedical imaging and sensing technologies include computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, optical coherence tomography, spectroscopy, and ultrasound. These technologies are at the intersection of the physical sciences, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Now researchers are using biomedical imaging and sensing to study everything from the development of artificial vision systems to bone biomechanics. |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2016 09:58 AM PST In a pilot study, image-guided biopsies identified select breast cancer patients who achieved pathologic complete response (pCR) after chemotherapy and/or targeted therapy, neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST). |
| Potential asthma treatment worth its salt Posted: 09 Dec 2016 08:19 AM PST Investigations into novel solid forms of the anti-inflammatory drug oxaprozin may lead to a new combined asthma therapy. |
| New intracellular dopamine receptor function may offer hope to schizophrenia patients Posted: 09 Dec 2016 08:18 AM PST Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that plays an important role in controlling movement, emotion and cognition. Dopamine dysfunction is believed to be one of the causes of disorders like Schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Parkinson's disease. |
| Breast density in quantifying breast cancer risk Posted: 09 Dec 2016 08:18 AM PST There is a strong connection between breast cancer and the high rate of breast density. These are cases wherein the patient has previously undergone mammography screening and been cleared as 'normal'. A subsequent diagnosis of cancer indicates the failure of mammography to detect the breast cancer. |
| New evidence shows how bacterium in undercooked chicken causes Guillain-Barre Syndrome Posted: 09 Dec 2016 08:17 AM PST A research team is the first to show how a common bacterium found in improperly cooked chicken causes Guillain-Barre Syndrome, or GBS. The federally funded research not only demonstrates how this food-borne bacterium, known as Campylobacter jejuni, triggers GBS, but offers new information for a cure. |
| Researchers identify potentially druggable mutant p53 proteins that promote cancer growth Posted: 09 Dec 2016 08:17 AM PST Truncated p53 proteins, presumed unimportant, now point to new drug targets for some of 'the hardest cancers,' report scientists in a new report. |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2016 06:01 AM PST People with chronic opioid use disorders are more likely to relapse and do so sooner if they are treated in a compulsory drug detention center rather than a voluntary drug treatment center using methadone maintenance therapy, according to the first study comparing the outcome of both approaches. |
| Higher BMI in adolescence may affect cognitive function in midlife Posted: 08 Dec 2016 06:01 AM PST Higher Body Mass Index (BMI), if it begins in adolescence, can affect cognitive function in midlife, scientists have found. However, the effect appears to be restricted to adults who had lower socioeconomic position as children. |
| Search engines 'could help young people find best mental health resources' Posted: 08 Dec 2016 06:01 AM PST Search engines and content providers could have a role to play in helping young people find the most reliable mental health resources online, research has found. |
