How muscle develops: A dance of cellular skeletons

2011-06-04

Revealing another part of the story of muscle development, Johns Hopkins researchers have shown how the cytoskeleton from one muscle cell builds finger-like projections that invade into another muscle cell's territory, eventually forcing the cells to combine. Such muscle cell fusion, the researchers say, is not only important for understanding normal muscle growth, but also muscle regeneration after injury or disease. The work, they believe, could further development of therapies for muscular dystrophy or age-related muscle wasting. Their report on muscle cell cytoskeletons, ...

Moral responses change as people age

2011-06-04

Moral responses change as people age says a new study from the University of Chicago. Both preschool children and adults distinguish between damage done either intentionally or accidently when assessing whether a perpetrator has done something wrong, said study author Jean Decety. But, adults are much less likely than children to think someone should be punished for damaging an object, for example, especially if the action was accidental. The study, which combined brain scanning, eye-tracking and behavioral measures to understand brain responses, was published in the ...

Understanding cancer energetics

2011-06-04

It's long been known that cancer cells eat a lot of sugar to stay alive. In fact, where normal, noncancerous cells generate energy from using some sugar and a lot of oxygen, cancerous cells use virtually no oxygen and a lot of sugar. Many genes have been implicated in this process and now, reporting in the May 27 issue of Cell, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered that this so-called Warburg effect is controlled. "It turns out to be a feed-forward mechanism, where protein A turns on B, which in turn goes back and helps A do more," ...

Expungement of Criminal Records in Pennsylvania

2011-06-04

In criminal law, an expungement is the removal of all official records that can tie an individual to a given legal offense. Under certain limited circumstances, Pennsylvania residents with criminal records may file a petition for expungement. Of course, even though there are many advantages to having criminal records expunged, the wide availability of public information online often makes expungement an imperfect solution. The Expungement Process Only a few types of records are eligible for expungement in Pennsylvania. Records of non-convictions (such as not guilty ...

Could a birth control pill for men be on the horizon?

2011-06-04

(NEW YORK, NY, June 4, 2011) – Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center are honing in on the development of what may be the first non-steroidal, oral contraceptive for men. Tests of low doses of a compound that interferes with retinoic acid receptors (RARs), whose ligands are metabolites of dietary vitamin A, showed that it caused sterility in male mice. Earlier results of the experiments using this RAR antagonist were published in the June 1st issue of Endocrinology, and an abstract extending the studies to longer drug delivery periods is scheduled for the Late ...

Fighting cancer with cancer: Mayo Clinic finds promising use for thyroid cancer gene

2011-06-04

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- A mutant gene long thought to accelerate tumor growth in thyroid cancer patients actually inhibits the spread of malignant cells, showing promise for novel cancer therapies, a Mayo Clinic study has found. The findings will be presented by Mayo Clinic researcher Honey Reddi, Ph.D., at the Endocrine Society meeting in Boston. Dr. Reddi's discovery could have widespread implications in cancer research and endocrinology. It could help oncologists sharpen the diagnosis of specific types of thyroid cancers, while leading pharmaceutical researchers toward ...

Protecting Your Loved Ones from Nursing Home Abuse

2011-06-04

Warning Signs According to American Psychological Association estimates, more than 2 million seniors are subjected to some form of abuse or neglect. Knowing what indicators to look out for can help you prevent your loved ones from being exploited. Bruises, cuts and other visible injuries are perhaps the ...

Childhood cancer survivors at increased risk of certain tumors in middle-age

2011-06-04

In a study that included nearly 18,000 children who had cancer, with follow-up of about 25 years, the greatest excess risk associated with a subsequent primary neoplasm (a new tumor) at older than age 40 years was for digestive and genitourinary neoplasms (related to the genital or urinary tract organs), according to a study in the June 8 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on cancer. The study is being published early online to coincide with the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2011 Annual Meeting. "Survivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk of developing subsequent ...

Ovarian cancer screening does not appear to reduce risk of ovarian cancer death

2011-06-04

In a clinical trial that included nearly 80,000 women, those who received ovarian cancer screening did not have a reduced risk of death from ovarian cancer compared to women who received usual care, but did have an increase in invasive medical procedures and associated harms as a result of being screened, according to a study in the June 8 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on cancer. The study is being published early online to coincide with its presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2011 Annual Meeting. In the United States, ovarian cancer is among the ...
