| Yin-yang effect of sodium and chloride presents salt conundrum Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:58 AM PDT Too much salt in the diet -- and specifically sodium -- is widely acknowledged as a major risk factor for high blood pressure however, scientists have found that salt's other oft-overlooked constituent chloride might also play an important role. |
| Preventing cancer? Team IDs two pathways through which chromosomes are rearranged Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:58 AM PDT A research team has identified two pathways through which chromosomes are rearranged in mammalian cells. Preventing these rearrangements could conceivably prevent cancer in some people. |
| Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus: MERS-CoV treatment effective in monkeys Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:57 AM PDT Scientists report that a combination of two licensed antiviral drugs reduces virus replication and improves clinical outcome in a recently developed monkey model of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection. Their study expands on recent work showing that a combination of ribavirin and interferon-alpha 2b stops MERS-CoV from replicating in cell culture. |
| Climate change will upset vital ocean chemical cycles Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:57 AM PDT New research shows that rising ocean temperatures will upset natural cycles of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorus. Plankton plays an important role in the ocean's carbon cycle by removing half of all CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and storing it deep under the sea. New findings reveal that water temperature has a direct impact on maintaining the delicate plankton ecosystem of our oceans. |
| Synthetic mRNA can induce self-repair and regeneration of the infarcted heart Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:56 AM PDT Scientists have taken a major step towards treatment for heart attack, by instructing the injured heart in mice to heal by expressing a factor that triggers cardiovascular regeneration driven by native heart stem cells. The study also shows that there was an effect on driving the formation of a small number of new cardiac muscle cells. |
| Two types of inhalers equally safe and effective, new study suggests Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:55 AM PDT Pulmonary experts have found that the drug tiotropium (marketed as the Spiriva brand), can be delivered safely and effectively to people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in both "mist" and traditional "dry powder" inhalers. |
| Fish oil could help protect alcohol abusers from dementia Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:55 AM PDT A new study suggests that omega-3 fish oil might help protect against alcohol-related dementia. |
| Genetic cause of childhood leukemia identified Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:55 AM PDT For the first time, a genetic link specific to risk of childhood leukemia has been identified. |
