For 5,000 years, the Chinese have used a system of medicine based on the flow and balance of positive and negative energies in the body. In this system, the appearance of the tongue is one of the measures used to classify the overall physical status of the body, or zheng. Now, University of Missouri researchers […]
HER2 and its epidermal growth factor receptor cousins mobilise a specialised protein to activate a major player in cancer development and sugar metabolism, scientists report. This chain of events, the scientists found, promotes Herceptin resistance in breast cancer and activation of glucose metabolism (glycolysis), which cancer cells primarily rely on to fuel their growth and […]
Biomedical engineers at UC Davis have developed a microfluidic chip to test for latent tuberculosis. They hope the test will be cheaper, faster and more reliable than current testing for the disease. ‘Our assay is cheaper, reusable, and gives results in real time,’ said Ying Liu, a research specialist working with Professor Alexander Revzin in […]
A collaborative group of investigators has joined together to identify five genetic variations associated with Crohn’s disease (CD) and Jewish individuals of Eastern and Central European descent, who are also known as Ashkenazi Jews. CD causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract and can be both painful and debilitating, and sometimes may lead […]
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified an immune system deficiency whose presence shows someone is up to four times likelier to die than a person without it. The glitch involves an antibody molecule called a free light chain; people whose immune systems produce too much of the molecule are far more likely to die of a […]
Roche and Panasonic Healthcare partner for novel Point of Care system to improve diagnosis in metabolic syndrome. Roche and Panasonic Healthcare have allied for a new medical testing solution to combine early diagnosis and control of blood lipid and average glucose concentration (HbA1c) levels. The new designed system will pioneer with a unique approach, as it […]
Scientist Howard Young’s research has taken a dramatic, unexpected turn in the last few months, thanks to a serendipitous chain of events that could lead to a genetic test that can predict heart failure in certain people before it happens. It started when members of his team, Delaine Ceholski and Cathy Trieber, discovered a new […]
A Yale University-led research team has developed a way to measure the loss of insulin-producing islet cells in the human pancreas. The death of those beta cells leads to diabetes. The finding is a crucial step in developing therapies to preserve insulin production and slow or halt the progress of diabetes. Until now there has […]
Only few children suffering from anxiety disorders undergo treatment. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have looked into how many children who suffer from the most common yet treatable anxiety disorders that are actually diagnosed in the psychiatric system in Denmark. According to the researchers, the number is surprisingly low compared to other western countries, […]
Scientists have successfully sequenced the genome of a baby in the womb without tapping its protective fluid sac. Maternal blood sampled at about 18 weeks into the pregnancy and a paternal saliva specimen contained enough information for the scientists to map the foetus’ DNA. This method was later repeated for another expectant couple closer to […]
