Ariel Winter's father doesn't want her to go live with her sister. Instead, Glenn Workman has filed an objection to*Shanelle Gray's bid to become her little sis'...
New research from Mount Sinai School of Medicine sheds light on how overeating can cause a malfunction in brain insulin signaling, and lead to obesity and diabetes. Christoph Buettner, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Disease) and his research team found...
A compound that was supposed to repair brain damage has become a promising medication for improving cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease, Washington State University researchers reported in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. The scientists found that rats with...
A research team led by investigators at New York University and NYU School of Medicine has determined how cells that cause inflammatory ailments, such as Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis, differentiate from stem cells and ultimately affect the clinical outcome of these...
Florida State University researchers led by physics doctoral student Campion Loong have achieved significant benchmarks in a study of the human cardiac protein alpha-tropomyosin, which is an essential, molecular-level component that controls the heart's contraction on every beat. Using an...
Research has shown that American Ginseng is beneficial to combat aging, for central nervous system disorders and that it has neurocognitive effects, yet incorporating American Ginseng into foods presented scientists with challenges due to its bitter taste and because processing food can destroy...
Measuring creatinine and cystatin C - two markers for chronic kidney disease (CKD) - more precisely estimates kidney function than either marker alone, according to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health. Results appear in the New England Journal of Medicine. "Glomerular filtration...
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have found protective, anti-diabetic functions for a hormone that, like insulin, is produced by the islet cells of the pancreas. The new hormone was found to stimulate insulin secretion from rat and human islet cells and protect islet cells in the...
Scientists have discovered a new function for a protein that protects cells during injury and could eventually translate into treatment for conditions ranging from cardiovascular disease to Alzheimer's. Researchers report online in the journal Cell that a type of protein called thrombospondin...
Historically, fly and human Polycomb proteins were considered textbook exemplars of transcriptional repressors, or proteins that silence the process by which DNA gives rise to new proteins. Now, work by a team of researchers at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research challenges that dogma. In...
Engineers at the University of Sheffield have developed a method of assisting nerves damaged by traumatic accidents to repair naturally, which could improve the chances of restoring sensation and movement in injured limbs. In a collaborative study with Laser Zentrum Hannover (Germany) published...
Heart failure is the most common cause of death throughout the world, typically the result of chronic high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. As a result, research efforts have focused on an array of approaches aimed at preventing and treating high blood pressure. Recently, Japanese...
An agent under consideration for use in PET imaging combats neuronal death to relieve Parkinsonian symptoms in animal models, according to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. The movement-related symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including muscle rigidity and tremors, are...
process work? my lecturer at university asked us to take part any electronic component and describe at least 5 parts inside it. i chose to take apart a playstion 3 and talk about at least 5 parts within it.. i am kind of stuck on the blue ray drive. i don't actually have any real knowledge of...
Best DVD Converter, as all known, is not a simple converter tool. It is an all-in-one tool which consists of Best DVD Ripper, Total Video Converter, DVD Creator and iPhone Transfer.
It is wonderful, isn’t it? Have you ever met any converter tool which can do so many conversion work? But this...
Apparently there are two different processors rumored, the A5X and A6. Would it be possible for both to be implemented in one device - one for iOS and the other for Lion?
To me, it makes sense because they have continued to make OSX very similar to their mobile platform..It would also make the...
