Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a sugar-based molecular microcapsule that eliminates the toxicity of an anticancer agent developed a decade ago at Johns Hopkins, called 3-bromopyruvate, or 3BrPA, in studies of mice with implants of human pan ...
The hallmark of an excellent researcher is an open mind. That flexibility and openness is what led Nina Schor, the William H. Eilinger Chair of Pediatrics at the University of Rochester, to follow a hunch about a brain receptor– resulting in a new m ...
Scientists have linked a new protein to Alzheimer's disease, different from the amyloid and tau that make up the sticky brain plaques and tangles long known to be its hallmarks. The discovery could give a new target for developing drugs and other ...
Scientists at the University of East Anglia have shown how the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis could reduce tumor growth in cancer patients. Research reveals the existence of previously unknown signaling platforms which are responsible for t ...
New research described details of how a diabetes-related gene functions on a biological pathway that affects the release of insulin. The study authors say that finding drugs that act on that pathway may eventually lead to a new treatment for type 1 d ...
By swapping replacement parts into the backbone of a synthetic hormone, UW-Madison graduate student Ross Cheloha and his mentor Sam Gellman, along with collaborators at Harvard Medical School, have built a version of a parathyroid hormone that resist ...
Insulin Pump Outperformed by 'Bionic Pancreas' From right, researcher Dr. Steven Russell of Massachusetts General Hospital stands with Frank Spesia and Colby Clarizia, two participants in a type 1 diabetes trial testing an electronic device called a ...
Proteins are chains of amino acids that, when folded into certain structural patterns and also when unfolded, exert functions within cells. Proteins receive signals that are transmitted from one to the next and that are essential for life. However, w ...
Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found new targets for potential intervention in breast cancer. These hormone cancer studies new targets could eventually increase effectiveness and reduce the undesirabl ...
Many industry key opinion leaders thought healthcare among other systems in Latin America did not meet U.S. and European standards. But today, the region is valued for its time and cost efficiencies, more accessible and compliant customers and patien ...
