New understanding of brain chemistry could prevent brain damage after injury

2011-05-16
A protective molecule has been identified in the brain which, if used artificially, may prevent brain damage from the likes of stroke, head injury and Alzheimer's. By looking at what happens in the brain after an injury, new research has finally ended speculation over whether a key molecule, 'KCC2' causes brain cell death after an injury or prevents it. The finding, published today (16th May 2011) in The Journal of Physiology now opens the door to the development of artificial forms of the compound which could provide 'neuroprotection' to those who have suffered a brain ...

Plasticity of hormonal response permits rapid gene expression reprogramming

2011-05-16
Gene expression is the process of converting the genetic information encoded in DNA into a final gene product such as a protein or any of several types of RNA. Scientists have long thought that the gene programs regulated by different physiological processes throughout the body are robustly pre-determined and relatively fixed for every specialized cell. But a new study by researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine reveals the unsuspected plasticity of some of these gene expression programs. Their findings, to be published in the May 15 ...

Exotic behavior when mechanical devices reach the nanoscale

2011-05-16
Most mechanical resonators damp (slow down) in a well-understood linear manner, but ground-breaking work by Prof. Adrian Bachtold and his research group at the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology has shown that resonators formed from nanoscale graphene and carbon nanotubes exhibit nonlinear damping, opening up exciting possibilities for super-sensitive detectors of force or mass. In an article to be published in Nature Nanotechnology (DOI - 10.1038/NNANO.2011.71), Prof. Bachtold and his co-researchers describe how they formed nano-scale resonators by suspending tiny graphene ...

Advanced-stage prostate cancer patients experience 20-year survival rates with surgery

2011-05-16
WASHINGTON — Long-term survival rates for patients with advanced prostate cancer suggest they can be good candidates for surgery, Mayo Clinic researchers have found. Their study found a 20-year survival rate for 80 percent of patients diagnosed with cancer that has potentially spread beyond the prostate, known as cT3 prostate cancer, and treated with radical prostatectomy, or surgery to remove the prostate gland. Previously, patients found to have cT3 prostate cancer were offered radiation or hormone treatment, but not radical prostatectomy. The researchers presented ...

Tiny variation in 1 gene may have led to crucial changes in human brain

Tiny variation in 1 gene may have led to crucial changes in human brain
2011-05-16
The human brain has yet to explain the origin of one its defining features – the deep fissures and convolutions that increase its surface area and allow for rational and abstract thoughts. An international collaboration of scientists from the Yale School of Medicine and Turkey may have discovered humanity's beneficiary – a tiny variation within a single gene that determines the formation of brain convolutions – they report online May 15 in the journal Nature Genetics. A genetic analysis of a Turkish patient whose brain lacks the characteristic convolutions in part ...

North Carolina Criminal Sentence Reduced After Kilo of Cocaine Found in Suspects Car
2011-05-16
A North Carolina man received a greatly reduced sentence as a result of the strong defense work of criminal attorney Patrick Roberts at the Roberts Law Group PLLC. After officers discovered a kilogram of cocaine in the man's car during a traffic stop, the man was facing up to 175 to 219 months in prison or about 18 years. Instead, he was sentenced to only 35 to 42 months. While the Roberts Law Group PLLC client is serving about three years in prison, his co-defendants - the other man in the same car and the alleged leader of the conspiracy - are serving about seven years ...

New mouse model may lead to new therapies for degenerative diseases

2011-05-16
Boston (May 16, 2011) – Most degenerative diseases begin with a gradual loss of specific cell types that progresses, eventually leading to symptoms. For example, in type I diabetes, hyperglycemia commonly develops when approximately 80 percent of the beta cells in the pancreas are lost; in Parkinson's disease, motor dysfunction typically begins when neurons in a certain portion of the brain are decreased by 70 to 80 percent. Finding ways to stop early cell destruction is vital, but methods to do so have proven challenging because of limitations of models for early stages ...
