Researchers at Iowa State University have found an essential key to possibly cure Parkinson's disease and are looking for others. http://www.physorg.com/news176464812.html Medicine & Health Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:50:03 EST news176464812 A new study from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) of McGill University reveals that different patterns of training and learning lead to different types of memory formation. The significance of the study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, is that it identifies the molecular differences between spaced training (distributed over time) and massed training (at very short intervals), shedding light on brain function and guiding learning and training principles. http://www.physorg.com/news173616029.html Medicine & Health Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:00:01 EST news173616029 Fox Chase Cancer Center investigators report that a two-drug blockade of mTOR signaling appears safe in metastatic kidney cancer in a phase I trial. Early data suggests that a combination of temsirolimus and bryostatin may be active in patients with rare forms of renal cell cancer, which are less likely to respond to other targeted therapies. http://www.physorg.com/news163000886.html Medicine & Health Sun, 31 May 2009 15:01:52 EST news163000886 Driving Miranda, a protein in fruit flies crucial to switch a stem cell's fate, is not as complex as biologists thought, according to University of Oregon biochemists. They've found that one enzyme (aPKC) stands alone and acts as a traffic cop that directs which roads daughter cells will take. http://www.physorg.com/news161519009.html Biology Thu, 14 May 2009 11:24:08 EST news161519009 Scientists have determined that a specific gene plays a role in the weight-gain response to a high-fat diet. The finding in an animal study suggests that blocking this gene could one day be a therapeutic strategy to reduce diet-related obesity and associated disorders, such as diabetes and liver damage, in humans. http://www.physorg.com/news154712272.html Medicine & Health Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:38:17 EST news154712272 Cancer and cell biology experts at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have identified a new tumor suppressor that may help scientists develop more targeted drug therapies to combat lung cancer. http://www.physorg.com/news150389078.html Medicine & Health Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:44:38 EST news150389078
