Foresters UK Describes the Paralympics as a "Watershed Moment"

2012-09-26

The recent London Paralympics were not only the most successful of all time but also seem to have created a significant change in public opinion. Channel 4 has reported record viewing figures and their own survey of 2,000 people has shown that the Games have had a positive impact on their perceptions of people with disabilities and disabled sport. "It is a real watershed moment," says Steve Dilworth, UK Membership Director from Foresters - an international mutual organisation whose focus is on its 945,000 members, their families and their communities. "For ...

Movie Kiosks Boost Inside Sales for Convenience Store Chain

2012-09-26

Movie and video game self-service kiosks are the next big profit center for c-stores owners, not simply because of revenue generated by disc rentals. Incremental sales from both the initial visit and the guaranteed return trip, as well as the potential for obvious tie-in sales from snack food, beverages, and quick meal options such as frozen pizza, make kiosks an attractive option, especially in light of recent research which shows that discs are consumers' preferred choice when renting movies or games. Blu-ray and DVD rentals accounted for 62 percent of U.S. movie rental ...

LIFR protein suppresses breast cancer metastasis

2012-09-25

HOUSTON - A receptor protein suppresses local invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells, the most lethal aspect of the disease, according to a research team headed by scientists from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Reporting in Nature Medicine, the team described using high-throughput RNA sequencing to identify the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) as a novel suppressor of breast cancer metastasis, the spread of the disease to other organs. "Based on our findings, we propose that restoring the expression or the function of key metastasis ...

Cutting through the genomic thicket in search of disease variants

2012-09-25

In the early stages of that vast undertaking known as the Human Genome Project, enthusiasm ran high. The enterprise would be costly and laborious but the clinical rewards, unprecedented. Once the complete blueprint of life was unlocked, the genetic underpinnings for a broad range of human maladies would be laid bare, allowing custom-tailored diagnosis and treatment and revolutionizing the field of medicine. Or so it was thought. Instead, "scientists were confronted with thousands of mutations in the collection of proteins in personal genomes, with no ready guide about ...

UCLA scientists fine-tune probe for early Alzheimer's detection

2012-09-25

BACKGROUND In the Alzheimer's brain, hard plaques accumulate between the nerve cells while twisted fibers grow inside the nerve cells. The plaques arise from protein fragments called beta amlyoid, and the fibers form from a protein called tau. Doctors rely on brain scans to detect amyloid and tau and provide early intervention and treatment to potentially slow or reverse disease progression. FINDINGS How the imaging agents work that scan the Alzheimer's brain is unknown. A new UCLA study reveals the physical mechanisms that allow chemical agents to bind to and ...

Hundreds of biochemical analyses on a single chip

This press release is available in French.Inside our cells, molecules are constantly binding and separating from one another. It's this game of constant flux that drives gene expression asides essentially every other biological process. Understanding the specific details of how these interactions take place is thus crucial to our overall understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of living organisms. There are millions of possible combinations of molecules, however; determining all of them would be a Herculean task. Various tools have been developed to measure the degree ...

Boosting natural marijuana-like brain chemicals treats fragile X syndrome symptoms

2012-09-25

Irvine, Calif. — American and European scientists have found that increasing natural marijuana-like chemicals in the brain can help correct behavioral issues related to fragile X syndrome, the most common known genetic cause of autism. The work indicates potential treatments for anxiety and cognitive defects in people with this condition. Results appear online in Nature Communications. Daniele Piomelli of UC Irvine and Olivier Manzoni of INSERM, the French national research agency, led the study, which identified compounds that inhibit enzymes blocking endocannabinoid ...

Making it easier to make stem cells

2012-09-25

LA JOLLA, Calif., September 25, 2012 – The process researchers use to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)—a special type of stem cell that can be made in the lab from any type of adult cell—is time consuming and inefficient. To speed things up, researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) turned to kinase inhibitors. These chemical compounds block the activity of kinases, enzymes responsible for many aspects of cellular communication, survival, and growth. As they outline in a paper published September 25 in Nature Communications, ...

Impaired protein degradation causes muscle diseases

When the "fire brigade" arrives too late Impaired protein degradation causes muscle diseases RUB researchers and international colleagues report in Brain New insights into certain muscle diseases, the filaminopathies, are reported by an international research team led by Dr. Rudolf Andre Kley of the RUB's University Hospital Bergmannsheil in the journal Brain. The scientists from the Neuromuscular Centre Ruhrgebiet (headed by Prof. Matthias Vorgerd) at the Neurological University Clinic (Director: Prof. Martin Tegenthoff) cooperated with colleagues from eleven institutes ...

Palliative care experts call for better home care

2012-09-25

Improved home care resources for people with conditions such as dementia, who would prefer to die at home, are key to providing better end of life care and reducing the strain of the UK's ageing population on the NHS, according to researchers at King's College London. A new study, carried out by researchers from the Cicely Saunders Institute at King's and funded by the National Institute for Health Research Health Services &Delivery Research (NIHR HS&DR) Programme, found that 42 per cent of patients with advanced non-malignant conditions reported a preference for home ...
