Millions carry heart disease mutation

Scientists discovered that 1% of the world's population carries a mutation almost guaranteed to lead to heart problems and most of these come from the Indian subcontinent.

DNA shuts off on maturity

The gradual maturing of embryonic cells is apparently due to the shut off of several genes at once rather than in individual smatterings as previous studies have implied.

Structure of TIGAR resolved

Researchers have determined the three-dimensional structure of an enzyme whose presence in the body could help doctors detect cancer earlier or develop more targeted treatments.

Neurons show sex-dependent changes

Researchers found that nutrient deprivation of neurons produced sex-dependent effects with male neurons withering females conserving energy and staying alive.

Low-carbohydrate diet burns more excess liver fat

People on low-carbohydrate diets are more dependent on the oxidation of fat in the liver for energy than those on a low-calorie diet, researchers have found in a small clinical study.

Scientists have found that the experimental drug they are testing to treat a deadly form of thyroid cancer turns on a powerful tumour suppressor capable of halting cell growth.

New way to see cell molecules

Scientists describe a technique for imaging whole cells in liquid with a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM).

Long-term transplant survival

A Johns Hopkins study finds that HIV-positive kidney transplant recipients could have the same one-year survival rates for themselves and their donor organs as those without HIV.

Brain stimulation aids leaning

People who received a mild electrical current to a motor control area of the brain were significantly better able to learn and perform a complex motor task than those in control groups.

Bleeding hearts revealed in scan

Images that for the first time show bleeding inside the heart after people have suffered a heart attack have been captured by scientists, in a new study.

Are food adverts harmful?

In the first-ever study of food adverts in UK magazines, researchers found them filled with sugary, salt-filled options often contradicting the health messages the articles were trying to put across.

Comparison of microbial communities

Numbering in the tens of trillions and representing many thousands of distinct genetic families, a microbiome helps the body perform a variety of regulatory and digestive functions, many still poorly understood.

How Toxoplasma gondii gets noticed

Researchers provide insight into how Toxoplasma gondii, a common parasite of people and other animals, triggers an immune response in its host.

Exercise and psychiatric treatment
