2010-11-05
Study Finds Teens Frustrated by Lack of Diagnosis A recent British study found that young cancer patients often feel frustrated that physicians do not take their symptoms seriously and consider cancer as a possible diagnosis.

2010-11-04
Catapults are often associated with a medieval means of destruction, but for some plants, they are an effective way to launch new life. Dispersing seeds greater distances by catapulting can provide selective advantages, including the establishment of populations in new environments and escape from certain threats. In new work published in the recent October issue of American Journal of Botany (http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/reprint/97/10/1595), Dr. Ellerby, students, and postdoctoral researcher Shannon Gerry at Wellesley College measured the mechanics involved in catapulting ...

2010-11-04

A team led by Mark Buyyounouski, M.D., M.S., radiation oncologist at Fox Chase who will present the results at the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, found that levels of a prostate-specific protein up to 18 months after salvage radiation ...

Vulnerable brain region may be central to progression of Alzheimer's disease

2010-11-04
New research is helping to unravel the events that underlie the "spread" of Alzheimer's disease (AD) throughout the brain. The research, published by Cell Press in the November 4th issue of the journal Neuron, follows disease progression from a vulnerable brain region that is affected early in the disease to interconnected brain regions that are affected in later stages. The findings may contribute to design of therapeutic interventions as targeting the brain region where AD originates would be simpler than targeting multiple brain areas. An alteration in brain levels ...

Plasticity supports cognitive recovery after brain damage

2010-11-04
New research provides fascinating insight into mechanisms that underlie recovery after damage to a region of the brain important for memory and attention.

Brain damage can have devastating consequences, depending on the location and severity of the injury. Damage to an area of the brain called the prefrontal cortex often results in deficits in memory and attention. However, ...
