A team of UC Davis investigators has discovered a protein on the surface of lung cancer cells that could prove to be an important new target for anti-cancer therapy. A series of experiments in mice with lung cancer showed that specific targeting of the protein with monoclonal antibodies reduced...
Carolina's Steve Smith had a useful day on Sunday at Soldier Field, hauling in seven balls for a season-high 118 yards. Smith could have easily had a great day — he was open all afternoon, drawing 16 targets — but too often his quarterback seemed to think he was throwing to a 6-foot-9 receiver...
With the help of baker's yeast, a tiny one-celled organism, scientists in the US say they have found a "chink in the armor" of the currently incurable disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. They suggest their finding offers a new target for therapies...
A new drug created at the University of Minnesota may hold the answer to defeating pancreatic cancer, according to results published in the prestigious journal Science Translational Medicine. The study is based on successful outcomes in a mouse model - results researchers expect to carry over to...
If there was anything for Chargers fans to feel good about following Monday night's collapse (obviously there wasn't, not really, but let's just fake it), then the reemergence of Antonio Gates was that thing. Gates hauled in six balls on 10 targets, visiting the end zone twice and finishing with...
Chronic morphine exposure has the opposite effect on the brain compared to cocaine in mice, providing new insight into the basis of opiate addiction, according to Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers. They found that a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is...
The founders of iconic Wellington tech conference Webstock have their sights set on a slice of the NZ$439 million spent annually on domestic corporate events.
Man City have reportedly been sniffing around Liverpool centerback Daniel Agger and, when asked about this, Brendan Rodgers has gone on record as saying that "every player has a price." But Agger himself has made his intentions clear by showing up to a Liverpool training session with "YNWA"...
Inflammation and cell stress play important roles in the death of insulin-secreting cells and are major factors in diabetes. Cell stress also plays a role in Wolfram syndrome, a rare, genetic disorder that afflicts children with many symptoms, including juvenile-onset diabetes. Now a molecule...
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have identified a new genetic target for diuretic therapy in patients with fluid overload - like those with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis or kidney failure. These results, presented in the July 30 advance online edition of the journal...
Regenerative medicine company Mesoblast Limited (ASX:MSB) have announced positive results in a large animal model of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) following a single intravenous injection of its proprietary allogeneic, or "off-the-shelf", immunomodulatory adult Mesenchymal Precursor Cells (MPCs)...
Many patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) share a mutation in a gene called IDH. A University of Colorado Cancer Center study published this week in the journal Leukemia & Lymphoma shows that this IDH mutation may be the first domino in a chain that leads to a more aggressive form of the...
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have uncovered a new signal transduction pathway specifically devoted to the regulation of alternative RNA splicing, a process that allows a single gene to produce or code multiple types of protein variants. The discovery...
Over one million adults in the U.S. suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease that can be incapacitating. Researchers have now discovered the mechanism by which a cell signaling pathway contributes to the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study...
Researchers from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), led by Jorge L. MartÃ*nez-Torrecuadrada from the Proteomics Unit, have demonstrated that the antibody-based blocking of ephrinB2, a protein involved in angiogenesis and lymphoangiogenesis, may represent an effective strategy...
Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer, estimated by the National Cancer Institute to afflict more than 70,000 people in the United States annually and the incidence rate continues to rise. In a study published online in Genome Research, researchers have identified a previously unknown...
According to an internal memo leaked to the Verge, Target will be removing Amazon hardware from its stores in May and June, citing a "conflict of interest." At first glance, the instinct might be to start in on Ooooh, Target ereader or </em>Oooh, Target TABLET</em>. But the reality's probably...
