What is Deep Vein Thrombosis? What Is DVT?
Feb 20, 2012
Deep vein thrombosis, also known as DVT refers to the formation of a thrombus in a deep vein in the leg. A thrombus is a blood clot. Deep vein thrombosis tends to occur in leg veins, such as the popliteal or femoral veins, as well as deep veins within the pelvis. In some cases, as with Paget-Schrötter disease, they may form in the veins of the arm... Read More
Molecular Basis For The Development Of New Drugs Against Autoimmune Diseases
Feb 19, 2012
Like a shredder, the immunoproteasome cuts down proteins into peptides that are subsequently presented on the cellular surface. The immune system can distinguish between self and nonself peptides and selectively kills cells that due to a viral infection present non-self peptides at their surface... Read More
Scientists Reveal The Secret Of Sperm Quality Control
Feb 19, 2012
Yale researchers have discovered how the "guardian of the genome'' oversees quality control in the production of sperm - and perhaps in many other cells as well. The research published online in the journal Current Biology opens up the potential of developing new forms of birth control and fertility treatment - and even new ways to combat many forms of cancer...
