Models help UD researchers calculate best dosage for osteoporosis treatment
They may seem rigid and set in their ways, but your bones are actually under constant construction and deconstruction. They give up their nutrient treasures (calcium) to the body and then rebuild in a constant give-and-take sort of rhythm. (more…)
Ten-year-old Momo Sutton’s feet danced on the floor while the rest of her tried to sit patiently, her face beaming with anticipation as Easton LaChappelle carefully lifted his invention out of its box. Once she put it on, she already had four favorites by lunchtime: (more…)
A Yale research team has found that by tinkering with the surface properties of drug-loaded nanoparticles, they can potentially direct these particles to specific cells in the brain. (more…)
The brain responds less to money gained from immoral actions than money earned decently, reveals a new UCL-led study.
The research, published in Nature Neuroscience and funded by Wellcome, helps explain why most people are reluctant to seek illicit gains by identifying a neural process that dampens the appeal of profiting at other people’s expense. (more…)
Freiburger Forscher zeigen, wie ein Protein die unkontrollierte Ausbreitung von Abwehrzellen verhindert
Das menschliche Immunsystem besteht aus Millionen von einzelnen Zellen, die täglich im Knochenmark aus Vorläuferzellen produziert werden. Während ihrer Entwicklung expandieren die Immunzellen und differenzieren sich dann zu reifen Lymphozyten – Abwehrzellen, die Fremdstoffe erkennen und beseitigen. (more…)
A study by UA researchers revealed that rats with neuropathic pain that were bathed in green LED showed more tolerance for thermal and tactile stimulus. A clinical trial involving people suffering from fibromyalgia is underway. (more…)
Forscher beobachten Tumorbildung, bei der die auslösenden Signale aus angrenzendem Gewebe kommen
Der gängigen Lehrmeinung nach entsteht Krebs dadurch, dass einzelne Zellen durch Defekte in ihrer Erbsubstanz entarten, dadurch zusätzliche Fehler entstehen und letztlich die betroffenen Zellen beginnen, unkontrolliert zu wachsen. Diese Primärtumoren können streuen und an anderen Stellen im Körper Metastasen, so genannte Sekundärtumoren, bilden. (more…)
ANN ARBOR — Women who have episiotomies after childbirth reported having poorer body image and less satisfying sex lives than women who tear and heal naturally. (more…)
