The Cells' Petrol Pump Is Finally Identified
May 28, 2012
Researchers from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, describe how mitochondria, the cell's power plants, are supplied with fuel Our cells breathe and digest, as does the organism as a whole. They indeed use oxygen to draw the energy contained in the nutrients they ingest, before discarding the waste, as carbon dioxide and water. Glucose is a preferred nutrient for the cells... Read More
Peritonitis May Be A Deadly Condition For Some Kidney Failure Patients
May 28, 2012
An infection called peritonitis commonly arises in the weeks before many dialysis patients die, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). The findings suggest that peritonitis may be a deadly condition for some kidney failure patients... Read More

A Change In Fate: Lymphatic Vessels Reprogrammed To Blood Vessels
May 28, 2012
Blood circulation requires the vascular system, the vast network of arteries and veins through which blood is pumped. In a parallel network, known as the lymphatic system, lymph fluid, which contains a mixture of immune cells, bacteria, fat, and other debris, is circulated through specialized lymphatic vessels...

Pivotal Role For Proteins - From Helping Turn Carbs Into Energy To Causing Devastating Disease
May 27, 2012
Research into how carbohydrates are converted into energy has led to a surprising discovery with implications for the treatment of a perplexing and potentially fatal neuromuscular disorder and possibly even cancer and heart disease. Until this study, the cause of this neuromuscular disorder was unknown... Read More
Key Gene Found Responsible For Chronic Inflammation, Accelerated Aging And Cancer
May 27, 2012
Researchers at NYU School of Medicine have, for the first time, identified a single gene that simultaneously controls inflammation, accelerated aging and cancer. "This was certainly an unexpected finding," said principal investigator Robert J... Read More

Orphan Sleep Drug Findings May Lead To New Cancer Therapies
May 26, 2012
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that an inexpensive "orphan drug" for the treatment of sleep disorders seems to be a potent inhibitor of cancer cells... Read More
Telomere Stability And Carcinogenesis: An Off-Again, On-Again Relationship
May 26, 2012
Previous studies in mice have demonstrated antagonistic effects of telomerase loss on carcinogenesis. Telomere attrition can promote genome instability thereby stimulating initiation of early-stage cancers, but can also inhibit tumorigenesis by promoting permanent cell growth arrest or death...
