CAMH study confirms genetic link to suicidal behavior
2011-10-10
For immediate release – October 7, 2011 – (Toronto) – A new study from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health has found evidence that a specific gene is linked to suicidal behaviour, adding to our knowledge of the many complex causes of suicide. This research may help doctors one day target the gene in prevention efforts.
In the past, studies have implicated the gene for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in suicidal behaviour. BDNF is involved in the development of the nervous system.
After pooling results from 11 previous studies and adding their own study ...
Cleveland Clinic study discovers new targets for treating inflammatory, autoimmune diseases
2011-10-10
Friday, October 7, 2011, Cleveland: Researchers have discovered a cellular pathway that promotes inflammation in diseases like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and multiple sclerosis. Understanding the details of this pathway may provide opportunities for tailored treatments of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Discovery of this pathway was the work of an active collaboration between Xiaoxia Li, Ph.D., and Thomas Hamilton, Ph.D., Department Chair, both of the Department of Immunology at Lerner Research Institute of Cleveland Clinic. ...
Strong attachment to local communities made oil spill more stressful for many coastal residents
2011-10-10
BATON ROUGE – A major concern related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010 was the impact on people living in coastal areas. News reports provided anecdotal evidence that those living along the coast and reliant on the fishing or oil and gas industries for their livelihoods were very distressed and worried about the impact of the spill on their future.
Two decades of social science research has reported that people who are more attached to their communities are better off. They are happier, less depressed and physically healthier than those who have weak attachments ...
Imaging agents offer new view of inflammation, cancer
2011-10-10
A series of novel imaging agents could make it possible to "see" tumors in their earliest stages, before they turn deadly.
The compounds, derived from inhibitors of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and detectable by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, may have broad applications for cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment.
Vanderbilt University investigators describe the new imaging agents in a paper featured on the cover of the October issue of Cancer Prevention Research.
"This is the first COX-2-targeted PET imaging agent validated for use in animal models ...

Babies show sense of fairness, altruism as early as 15 months
2011-10-10
A new study presents the first evidence that a basic sense of fairness and altruism appears in infancy. Babies as young as 15 months perceived the difference between equal and unequal distribution of food, and their awareness of equal rations was linked to their willingness to share a toy.
"Our findings show that these norms of fairness and altruism are more rapidly acquired than we thought," said Jessica Sommerville, a University of Washington associate professor of psychology who led the study.
"These results also show a connection between fairness and altruism in ...
Survey gives clues to origin of Type Ia supernovae
2011-10-10
The largest survey to date of distant exploding stars is giving astronomers new clues to what's behind the Type Ia supernovae they use to measure distances across the cosmos.
These stellar explosions helped astronomers conclude more than a decade ago that dark energy is accelerating the expansion of the universe, and this week earned the discoverers -- including UC Berkeley physicist Saul Perlmutter -- the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. But what caused them was a mystery. Many astronomers thought white dwarf stars were pulling matter from their normal stellar companions ...
Aquatic fish jump into picture of evolutionary land invasion
2011-10-10
Research sometimes means looking for one thing and finding another. Such was the case when biology professor Alice Gibb and her research team at Northern Arizona University witnessed a small amphibious fish, the mangrove rivulus, jump with apparent skill and purpose out of a small net and back into the water.
This was no random flop, like you might see from a trout that's just been landed. The rivulus seemed to know what it was doing.
They hadn't expected to see that behavior, even from a fish known to spend time out of the water. So before long, what began as a study ...
