Embryonic heart exhibits impressive regenerative capacityMonday, October 13, 2008 @ 11:19AM( Cell Press ) A new study demonstrates that the embryonic mouse heart has an astounding capacity to regenerate, a phenomenon previously observed only in non-mammalian species. The research, published by Cell Press in the Oct. 14 issue of the journal Developmental Cell, describes the previously unrecognized potential of the embryonic heart to replace diseased tissue through compensatory ...

Hodgkin Lymphoma: New Characteristics Discovered; Cytokines Help Tumor Cells Evade Immune SystemSaturday, October 11, 2008 @ 9:20PMResearchers are still discovering new characteristics of Hodgkin lymphoma, a common form of cancer of the lymphatic system. Researchers in Germany have now demonstrated the production of interleukin 21 in the tumor cells of Hodgkin lymphoma. IL-21 promotes the growth of cancer cells and helps them evade immune system detection.

Claflin AIDS researcher has long association with Nobel winnerFriday, October 10, 2008 @ 1:41AMIn May of 1992, Claflin University professor Dr. Omar Bagasra published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine presenting his then-controversial findings that larger numbers of human blood cells are infected with HIV than was believed at that time.

Genome Of A Monkey - Human Malaria Parasite Surprises From Plasmodium Knowlesi Genome SequenceThursday, October 9, 2008 @ 9:42AMResearchers have decoded the genome of a malaria parasite that has a host range from monkeys to man. Identified originally in monkeys, the parasite was first reported in a human infection just over 40 years ago. Until recently, four species were held responsible for human malaria infections: P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. P.

New DNA Stool Testing Spots More Colon CancersWednesday, October 8, 2008 @ 12:52PM By Alan Mozes , HealthDay Reporter WEDNESDAY, Oct. 8 (HealthDay News) -- A new and improved DNA stool sample test to screen for colon cancer is twice as effective...

Genome of a monkey-human malaria parasiteWednesday, October 8, 2008 @ 12:23PM( Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute ) Researchers have decoded the genome of a malaria parasite that infects humans and monkeys. Human infection with P. knowlesi was first reported just over 40 years ago. It is the fifth and emerging human malaria parasite: recent surveys that many P. knowlesi infections have been misdiagnosed, underestimating its prevalence. The genome sequence reveals a dramatic ...

New DNA Stool Testing Spots More Colon CancersWednesday, October 8, 2008 @ 11:03AM WEDNESDAY, Oct. 8 (HealthDay News) -- A new and improved DNA stool sample test to screen for colon cancer is twice as effective at catching cancer and serious precancerous polyps than either current blood stool sample tests or an older version of DNA testing, new research reveals.

Hodgkin lymphoma -- new characteristics discoveredWednesday, October 8, 2008 @ 8:56AM( Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres ) Researchers are still discovering new characteristics of Hodgkin lymphoma, a common form of cancer of the lymphatic system. Björn Lamprecht and Dr. Stephan Mathas (Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, MDC, Berlin-Buch and Charité -- Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany) have now demonstrated the production of interleukin 21 in the tumor ...
