Flies model a potential sweet treatment for Parkinson's disease
2013-04-06
Washington, D.C. – (April 6, 2013) — Researchers from Tel Aviv University describe experiments that could lead to a new approach for treating Parkinson's disease (PD) using a common sweetener, mannitol. This research is presented today at the Genetics Society of America's 54th Annual Drosophila Research Conference in Washington D.C., April 3-7, 2013.
Mannitol is a sugar alcohol familiar as a component of sugar-free gum and candies. Originally isolated from flowering ash, mannitol is believed to have been the "manna" that rained down from the heavens in biblical times. ...
Barrow researchers identify new vision of how we explore our world
2013-04-06
(Phoenix, AZ April 4, 2013) -- Brain researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute have discovered that we explore the world with our eyes in a different way than previously thought. Their results advance our understanding of how healthy observers and neurological patients interact and glean critical information from the world around them.
The research team was led by Dr. Susana Martinez-Conde, Director of the Laboratory of Visual Neuroscience at Barrow, in collaboration with fellow Barrow Neurological Institute researchers Jorge Otero-Millan, Rachel Langston, and Dr. ...
Highly lethal Ebola virus has diagnostic Achilles' heel for biothreat detection, scientists say
2013-04-06
By screening a library of a billion llama antibodies on live Ebola viruses in the Texas Biomedical Research Institute's highest biocontainment laboratory, scientists in San Antonio have identified a potential weakness in the make-up of these deadly agents that can immediately yield a sensitive test.
"Detecting single viral protein components can be challenging, especially at very low levels. However, most viruses are repetitive assemblies of a few components, called antigens, with some existing as polymers which present highly 'avid' targets for antibodies," said Texas ...
Treatments, not prevention, dominate diabetes research
2013-04-06
DURHAM, NC – Research for diabetes is far more focused on drug therapies than preventive measures, and tends to exclude children and older people who have much to gain from better disease management, according to a Duke Medicine study.
By analyzing nearly 2,500 diabetes-related trials registered in ClinicalTrials.gov from 2007-10, the authors provide a broad overview of the research landscape for diabetes. The effort is part of the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative, a public-private partnership founded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Duke University ...
Diabetes trials worldwide are not addressing key issues in affected populations
2013-04-06
An analysis of diabetes trials worldwide has found they are not addressing key issues relating to the condition with almost two thirds focusing on drug therapy while only one in ten addresses prevention or behavioural therapies. The research is published in Diabetologia, the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), and is by Dr Jennifer Green, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA, and colleagues.
There are an estimated 371 million people with diabetes in the world. By 2030, there will be some 550 million with diabetes based on current ...
Huge disparities in hypertension seen across US counties
2013-04-06
SEATTLE – One in five Americans are completely unaware that they are at risk for the second leading cause of premature death: high blood pressure. In the first ever analysis of awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension for every county, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington revealed significant differences across the US.
The study found the largest burden of hypertension in the southeast, the lowest prevalence in Colorado, and differences among genders, ethnic groups and geographies. But despite high prevalence ...
Electron conflict leads to 'bad traffic' on way to superconductivity
2013-04-06
HOUSTON -- (April 5, 2013) -- Rice University physicists on the hunt for the
origins of high-temperature superconductivity have published new findings
this week about a seemingly contradictory state in which a material
simultaneously exhibits the conflicting characteristics of both a metallic
conductor and an insulator.
In a theoretical analysis this week in Physical Review Letters (PRL), Rice
physicists Qimiao Si and Rong Yu offer an explanation for a strange series
of observations described earlier this year by researchers at the Stanford
Linear Accelerator ...
Stem cells enable personalized treatment for bleeding disorder
2013-04-06
Scientists have shed light on a common bleeding disorder by growing and analysing stem cells from patients' blood to discover the cause of the disease in individual patients.
The technique may enable doctors to prescribe more effective treatments according to the defects identified in patients' cells.
In future, this approach could go much further: these same cells could be grown, manipulated, and applied as treatments for diseases of the heart, blood and circulation, including heart attacks and haemophilia.
The study focused on von Willebrand disease (vWD), which ...
