Major source of cells’ defense against oxidative stress identified

ScienceDaily (Apr. 6, 2012) — Both radiation and many forms of chemotherapy try to kill tumors by causing oxidative stress in cancer cells. New research from USC on a protein that protects cancer and other cells from these stresses could one day help physicians to break down cancer cells’ defenses, making them more susceptible to treatment. In the March 23 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, scientists led by USC Professor Kelvin J. A. Davies demonstrated that a protein ...

No screenshot, no description informing users about what the download is all about. And while you could fire up Notepad, and either a screenshot ...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor: Finding may have implications for Rett Syndrome, other neurological disorders

ScienceDaily (Jan. 27, 2012) — Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have discovered that a molecule critical to the development and plasticity of nerve cells — brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) — is severely lacking in brainstem neurons in mutations leading to Rett syndrome, a neurological developmental disorder. The finding has implications for the treatment of neurological disorders, including Rett syndrome that affects one in 10,000 baby girls. The new discovery is published on-line in Neuroscience and is expected in ...

Greater brain activation after cognitive rehabilitation for MS

ScienceDaily (Jan. 17, 2012) — Neuroscientists at Kessler Foundation have documented increased cerebral activation in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) following memory retraining using the altered Story Memory Technique (mSMT). This is the first study to demonstrate that behavioral interventions can have a positive effect on brain function in people with cognitive disability caused by MS, an important step in validating the clinical utility of cognitive rehabilitation. According to Nancy Chiaravalloti, PhD, director of Neuropsychology & Neuroscience Research at Kessler ...
