Freiburger Neurowissenschaftler erschließen neue Diagnose- und Therapiewege bei Schläfenlappenepilepsie

Heute vom Fahrrad gestürzt und in zehn Jahren an Epilepsie erkrankt? Solche Zusammenhänge wirken weit hergeholt, sind aber durchaus möglich, sagen Freiburger Forscherinnen und Forscher. Mithilfe neuester Verfahren der Magnetresonanztomografie haben Prof. Dr. Carola Haas, Klinik für Neurochirurgie, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Hennig, Klinik für Radiologie, und Prof. Dr. Ulrich Egert, Institut für Mikrosystemtechnik der Universität Freiburg, in Zusammenarbeit mit Prof. Dr. Jan Korvink vom Karlsruher Institut für Technologie gezeigt, wie bestimmte Störungen des Hippocampus eine medikamentenresistente Epilepsie in Gang setzen.

A new non-surgical treatment for low-risk prostate cancer can effectively kill cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue, reports a new UCL-led phase III clinical trial in 413 patients. The trial was funded by STEBA Biotech which holds the commercial license for the treatment. (more…)

Neue Protein-Analyse für Therapie und Diagnose von Krankheiten

Im Laufe des Alterns und durch verschiedene Krankheiten wie Diabetes oder Krebs verändern sich Proteine im Körper – zumeist durch ungewünschte Reaktionen mit verschiedenen Stoffwechselprodukten wie z.B. Methylglyoxal. Ein Team um Maria Matveenko und Christian F. W. Becker vom Institut für Biologische Chemie der Universität Wien hat nun zum ersten Mal auf molekularer Ebene die biochemischen Konsequenzen einer solchen Modifikation untersucht – ein Durchbruch in der Analyse von Proteinen. Die Ergebnisse der Studie erscheinen aktuell im renommierten Fachmagazin “Angewandte Chemie”. (more…)

Neue Methode der Proteinmodifizierung verbessert Behandlung und Diagnostik von Krebs.

Viele moderne Diagnostika und Therapeutika basieren auf Proteinen, die nur auf Grund bestimmter Modifikationen ihre komplexen Funktionen in unseren Zellen übernehmen können. Ein Team um Christian F. W. Becker vom Institut für Biologische Chemie der Universität Wien hat nun eine neue Methode entwickelt, die den schnellen Zugang zu modifizierten Peptiden und Proteinen ermöglicht, die für die Behandlung und Diagnostik von Krebs eingesetzt werden können. Die Ergebnisse der Studie erscheinen aktuell im renommierten Fachmagazin “Angewandte Chemie”. (more…)

Credit card-sized device could analyze biopsy, help diagnose pancreatic cancer in minutes

Pancreatic cancer is a particularly devastating disease. At least 94 percent of patients will die within five years, and in 2013 it was ranked as one of the top 10 deadliest cancers.

Routine screenings for breast, colon and lung cancers have improved treatment and outcomes for patients with these diseases, largely because the cancer can be detected early. But because little is known about how pancreatic cancer behaves, patients often receive a diagnosis when it’s already too late. (more…)

Advance in tuberous sclerosis brain science

By manipulating the timing of disease-causing mutations in the brains of developing mice, Brown University researchers have found that early genetic deletions in the thalamus may play an important role in course and severity of the developmental disease tuberous sclerosis complex. Findings appear in the journal Neuron.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Doctors often diagnose tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) based on the abnormal growths the genetic disease causes in organs around the body. Those overt anatomical structures, however, belie the microscopic and mysterious neurological differences behind the disease’s troublesome behavioral symptoms: autism, intellectual disabilities, and seizures. In a new study in mice, Brown University researchers highlight a role for a brain region called the thalamus and show that the timing of gene mutation during thalamus development makes a huge difference in the severity of the disease.

Effort to Enforce HIV ‘Health Threat’ Law Raises Questions

ANN ARBOR — Michigan health officials are using HIV surveillance technologies to assist in enforcing a “health threat” law that makes it illegal for HIV-positive people to have sex without disclosing their status.

A new University of Michigan study reveals that health officials employ the state’s names reporting database, alongside partner services referrals, for law enforcement purposes. However, this is bad social policy for a variety of reasons, says Trevor Hoppe, the study’s author and a doctoral candidate in sociology and women’s studies. (more…)
