Seven new genetic regions linked to type 2 diabetes - 09/02/2014

Seven new genetic regions associated with type 2 diabetes have been identified in the largest study to date of the genetic basis of the disease. DNA data was brought together from more than 48,000 patients and 139,000 healthy controls from four different ethnic groups. Fuente :...

Pacific trade winds stall global surface warming ... for now - 09/02/2014

Heat stored in the western Pacific Ocean caused by an unprecedented strengthening of the equatorial trade winds appears to be largely responsible for the hiatus in surface warming observed over the past 13 years. The strongest trade winds have driven more of the heat from global warming into the oceans; but when those winds...

Cochlear implant with no exterior hardware can be wirelessly recharged - 09/02/2014

Cochlear implants -- medical devices that electrically stimulate the auditory nerve -- have granted at least limited hearing to hundreds of thousands of people worldwide who otherwise would be totally deaf. Existing versions of the device, however, require that a disk-shaped transmitter about an inch in diameter be affixed to...

Clues for battling aggressive cancers from twin sisters study - 09/02/2014

Analyzing the genomes of twin sisters -- one healthy and one with aggressive leukemia -- led an international team of researchers to identify a novel molecular target that could become a way to treat recurring and deadly malignancies. The study points to a molecular pathway involving a gene called...

Breakthrough approach to quickly identify new drug candidates from genome sequence - 09/02/2014

In research that could ultimately lead to many new medicines, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute have developed a potentially general approach to design drugs from genome sequence. Fuente : http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/w...

Fight or flight? Vocal cues help deer decide during mating season - 09/02/2014

Male fallow deer are sensitive to changes in the groans that rivals make during mating season when competing for the attention of female deer, and can assess the level of threat other males pose simply from vocal cues, according to new research from Queen Mary University of London. Fuente :...

Study involving twin sisters provides clues for battling aggressive cancers - 09/02/2014

Analyzing the genomes of twin sisters -- one healthy and one with aggressive leukemia -- led an international team of researchers to identify a novel molecular target that could become a way to treat recurring and deadly malignancies. Scientists report their findings online Feb. 9 in Nature Genetics. The study points to a...

Genome editing goes hi-fi - 09/02/2014

Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have found a way to efficiently edit the human genome one letter at a time -- not only boosting researchers' ability to model human disease, but also paving the way for therapies that cure disease by fixing these so-called "bugs" in a patient's genetic code. Fuente :...

Scientists invent advanced approach to identify new drug candidates from genome sequence - 09/02/2014

In research that could ultimately lead to many new medicines, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute have developed a potentially general approach to design drugs from genome sequence. As a proof of principle, they identified a highly potent compound that causes cancer cells to attack themselves...

WASP gives NASA's planetary scientists new observation platform - 08/02/2014

Scientists who study Earth, the sun and stars have long used high-altitude scientific balloons to carry their telescopes far into the stratosphere for a better view of their targets. Not so much for planetary scientists. That's because they needed a highly stable, off-the-shelf-type system that...

Thinking skills take biggest hit from anxiety in midlife women with HIV - 08/02/2014

Hot flashes, depression, and most of all, anxiety, affect the thinking skills of midlife women with HIV, so screening for and treating their anxiety may be especially important in helping them function, according to a study just published. The reproductive stage, whether it was premenopause,...

Huntington disease prevention trial shows creatine safe, slows progression - 08/02/2014

The first clinical trial of a drug intended to delay the onset of symptoms of Huntington disease reveals that high-dose treatment with the nutritional supplement creatine was safe and well tolerated by most participants. In addition, neuroimaging showed a treatment-associated slowing of regional...

Medics speak of time assisting in the typhoon-hit Philippines - 08/02/2014

Medics have spoken about their role treating the injured following the typhoon that hit the Philippines in what they believe was the UK’s first joint civilian and military humanitarian response effort. The model, which saw part of the team board HMS Daring, helped treat hundreds of people cut off...

Diaphragm pacing in spinal cord injury successful in weaning patients from ventilators - 08/02/2014

Laparoscopic diaphragm mapping – an electronic reading of the diaphragm nerves – is safe and can be performed in multiple centers with success, a new study shows. Early diaphragm mapping can quickly determine if a phrenic nerve injury is complete, allowing for early ventilator planning and...
