A Good Hemorrhoids Diet Will Help a Ton
Many people all over the world are suffering from hemorrhoids and are discovering the magic of the hemorrhoids diet. Some may find themselves laughing at the very notion of this affliction, or the very mention of a hemorrhoids diet, most likely because they have never been in the position of suffering from it - yet. You won't find many people who've suffered a full blown flaring up of hemorrhoids, laughing at themselves or anyone else or even at the mention of hemorrhoids or the hemorrhoids diet - in fact these will be the first people to ...
Education Protects Against Pre Alzheimer's Memory Loss
People with more education and more mentally demanding occupations may have protection against the memory loss that precedes Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published in the October 21, 2008, issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study involved 242 people with Alzheimer's disease, 72 people with mild cognitive impairment, and 144 people with no memory problems. Continue reading ...
Drug molecules seldom act simply on one protein but on protein complexes and networks. A deeper understanding of these 'cooperative assemblies' should lead to better targeting of drugs New research into how proteins in human cells interact and 'talk' to each other is leading to a better understanding of how drug molecules work and should result in more effective therapies, according to a leading European scientist. Continue reading ...
Scientists at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND) and the University of California have found that complete or partial removal of an enzyme that regulates fatty acid levels improves cognitive deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Their findings, which will be published in today's issue of Nature Neuroscience, identified specific fatty acids that may contribute to the disease as well as a novel therapeutic strategy. Continue reading ...
ONI BioPharma Inc. (AMEX: ONI) announced the successful synthesis of an antibiotic using its proprietary DPOLT technology. The molecule belongs to a class of antibiotics called Lantibiotics that were first discovered over 80 years ago. Continue reading ...
Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), has announced grants of more than $14 million to support partners working in Southeast Asia and Africa to prevent the next pandemic. Google. Continue reading ...
Fritz et al. have identified an amino acid switch that flaviviruses flip to gain access to cells. Flaviviruses such as tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), yellow fever, and dengue are dangerous human pathogens. These membrane-encircled viruses enter cells by being gobbled up into endosomes and fusing their membrane with that of the endosome. Fusion is triggered by the endosome's acidic environment. Continue reading ...
Scientists from three Chicago-area universities have joined forces to develop new ways of building state-of-the-art chemical libraries that will help identify new compounds for future drug development and basic biomedical research. Scientists from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Chicago will establish the Chicago Tri-Institutional Center for Chemical Methods and Library Development with a $9. Continue reading ...
Today, the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) reports one new human case of West Nile virus (WNV) for 2008, bringing the state's total number of WNV cases to 100 with three deaths. The new case is in Jones County. MSDH reports both confirmed and probable cases to the public. The Mississippi Board of Animal Health also reports one case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in a horse in Perry County. Continue reading ...
