| Researchers urge caution around psilocybin use Posted: 30 Dec 2016 03:06 PM PST In a survey of almost 2,000 people who said they had had a past negative experience when taking psilocybin-containing 'magic mushrooms,' a researchers say that more than 10 percent believed their worst 'bad trip' had put themselves or others in harm's way, and a substantial majority called their most distressing episode one of the top 10 biggest challenges of their lives. |
| Using 'fire to fight fire' to combat disease could make it worse, tests show Posted: 30 Dec 2016 09:29 AM PST A treatment billed as a potential breakthrough in the fight against disease, including cancer, could back-fire and make the disease fitter and more damaging, new research has found. Ground-breaking research has found that introducing 'friendlier' less-potent strains into a population of disease-causing microbes can lead to increased disease severity. |
| Lack of standards for infant cereals threatens child nutrition in lower-income countries Posted: 30 Dec 2016 07:35 AM PST The first global analysis of infant cereals sold in lower-income countries highlights the need for basic quality assurance services to improve nutritional consistency and healthy growth of infants from 6 to 24 months of age. |
| New class of hydrogen sulfide donor molecules Posted: 30 Dec 2016 07:35 AM PST Researchers have designed molecules with the potential to deliver healing power to stressed cells -- such as those involved in heart attacks. The research, at a cellular level in the lab, involves organic molecules that break down to release hydrogen sulfide when triggered by oxidative stress. |
| Role for immune cells in cancer’s ability to evade immunotherapy Posted: 30 Dec 2016 07:32 AM PST One of the main reasons cancer remains difficult to treat is that cancer cells have developed a multitude of mechanisms that allow them to evade destruction by the immune system. One of these escape mechanisms involves a type of immune cell called myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). A recent study provides new insight into how MDSCs enable tumor cells to circumvent immune attack and offer the potential for improving cancer immunotherapy. |
| Endometrial cancer mutations are detectable in uterine lavage fluid before a cancer is diagnosed Posted: 30 Dec 2016 07:32 AM PST Mutations that have been linked to endometrial cancer can be found in the uterine lavage fluid of pre- and post-menopausal women both with and without detectable cancer. |
