MRI Shows Promise for Heart Procedures

MRI Shows Promise for Heart Procedures An experimental MRI method may be as safe and swift as standard X-ray procedures for guiding surgical interventions in the heart. The finding, from a small clinical study, suggests that MRI might one day offer a radiation-free alternative to more widely used X-rays for visualizing heart-related interventions.   This […]

Calorie Restriction May Not Extend Life

Calorie Restriction May Not Extend Life In a 23-year study, scientists found that significantly cutting calories didn’t extend the lives of rhesus monkeys. The result differs from previous work that linked calorie restriction to longer life in primates. Calorie restriction research has a long history. In the 1930s, investigators observed that some lab rodents lived […]

After Cancer Diagnosis, Breast Density May Not Matter

After Cancer Diagnosis, Breast Density May Not Matter Women with breasts that look dense on a mammogram have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. But a new study found that most of these women, once diagnosed with breast cancer, aren’t at greater risk of dying than patients with less dense breasts. Mammograms use X-rays […]

Genetic Switch Involved in Depression

Genetic Switch Involved in Depression The activity of a single gene sets in motion some of the brain changes seen in depression, according to a new study. The finding suggests a promising target for potential therapies. Raising expression of the Gata1 gene decreases the number of neuron connections (right) compared to controls (left). Image courtesy of Duman laboratory. […]

Genome Sequencing Tracks Bacterial Outbreak

Genome Sequencing Tracks Bacterial Outbreak Last year, a deadly outbreak of antibiotic-resistant bacteria kept NIH’s Clinical Center in a state of high alert. NIH staff used genome sequencing to track the microbes’ spread, an approach that can be used to help control similar outbreaks in the future. Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Implanted Heart Cells Stifle Irregular Rhythms

Implanted Heart Cells Stifle Irregular Rhythms Heart cells derived from human stem cells can protect injured guinea pig hearts against abnormal rhythms, a new study showed. Similar heart cell transplants might one day hold promise for treating damaged human hearts. Scientists showed that transplanted human heart cells (green) could beat in sync with neighboring guinea […]

Antibodies Protect Against Range of Flu Viruses

Antibodies Protect Against Range of Flu Viruses Scientists have isolated antibodies that protect mice against a variety of lethal influenza B viruses. One of them also guards against influenza A viruses. The accomplishment points the way toward universal approaches to combat all influenza A and B viruses. The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused […]

Retinal Device Restores Sight in Mice

Retinal Device Restores Sight in Mice Researchers have developed a new prosthetic technique that can restore vision to blind mice. The approach could potentially be further developed to improve sight in blind people. More than 20 million people worldwide have vision loss or blindness because of retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and […]
