Designing New Diabetes Drugs

Designing New Diabetes Drugs Building on recent insights into how diabetes medications work, researchers have designed experimental drugs that are as effective in mice as current medications, but cause fewer side effects. The finding may lead to new drugs to combat diabetes. Almost 26 million Americans have diabetes, a disease in which the body has […]

Preventing a Second Stroke

Preventing a Second Stroke A large, nationwide clinical trial found that patients at a high risk for a second stroke who received intensive medical treatment had fewer strokes and deaths than patients who received a brain stent in addition to the medical treatment. Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. […]

Insights Into Tumor-Associated Epilepsy

Insights Into Tumor-Associated Epilepsy Glioma, one of the most deadly and common types of brain tumor, is often associated with seizures, but the origins of these seizures and effective treatments for them have been elusive. A new study sheds light on the cause and suggests potential therapies. After electrical stimulation, there is a prolonged, broader […]

Parkinson’s Protein May Regulate Fat Metabolism

Parkinson’s Protein May Regulate Fat Metabolism New research reveals that Parkin, a protein linked to some cases of early-onset Parkinson’s disease, regulates how cells in our bodies take up and process dietary fats. The finding suggests that defective Parkin may contribute to early-onset Parkinson’s by changing the amount and types of fat in the body. […]

Predicting How Diet and Exercise Affect Weight

Predicting How Diet and Exercise Affect Weight Researchers have created a mathematical model—along with an accompanying online weight simulation tool—of what happens when people of varying weights, diets and exercise habits try to change their weight. The model challenges long-held assumptions about weight loss. Organizations promoting weight loss often state that eating 3,500 fewer calories […]

New Uses for Existing Medicines

New Uses for Existing Medicines In a novel approach, researchers used computers and genomic data to find new applications for existing FDA-approved drugs. The accomplishment represents a major step forward in drug discovery. Drug approval takes many years of research, development and safety testing. When drugs that have already been approved are used for other […]

Learning How Support Cells Kill Nerve Cells in ALS

Learning How Support Cells Kill Nerve Cells in ALS ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is marked by the death of muscle-controlling nerve cells—called motor neurons—in the spinal cord and some brain regions. As these neurons die, the body’s voluntary muscles weaken and waste away. People with ALS often die within 5 years of […]

Smoking and Bladder Cancer

Smoking and Bladder Cancer Current cigarette smokers have a higher risk of bladder cancer than previously reported, according to new research. The study also found that the proportion of bladder cancer due to smoking in women is now the same as for men—about 50%. In 2011, nearly 70,000 people nationwide are expected to be diagnosed […]
