Structure of a 'master switch' controlling cell division

Unregulated cell division is a hallmark of cancer, and one of the key proteins involved in controlling cell division is called FoxM1. Abnormal activation of FoxM1 is a common feature of cancer cells and is correlated with poor prognosis, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy. Now researchers have determined the structure of this protein -- a kind of 'master switch' for cell division -- in its inactive or 'off' conformation. from Top Health News -- ScienceDaily http://bit.ly/2W9th12 via IFTTT

Lost in translation: The medium is the message for a healthy heartbeat

Researchers have revealed how a genetic message to produce healthy heart tissue is altered in the body during stress and aging to contribute to sudden cardiac death. The discovery centers on communication between heart cells and allows for the potential of developing targeted therapies to help people at risk of arrhythmias and heart attacks. from Top Health News -- ScienceDaily http://bit.ly/2ws4eHr via IFTTT

Finding a cell's true identity

In a bid to reveal even more distinctive differences and similarities, researchers have developed two new artificial intelligence methods that decipher complex gene activity controlling cell fate decisions in retina development and relate this gene activity to what occurs in other tissues and across different species. from Top Health News -- ScienceDaily http://bit.ly/2QwZVny via IFTTT

New cable-free brain imaging method may take social neuroscience to the next level

Researchers developed a cable-free recording method that can measure brain activity associated with social behavior in mice. The method was based on a bioluminescent indicator of membrane voltage called 'LOTUS-V', which was delivered to cells via a gene expression system; it is therefore minimally invasive. LOTUS-V enabled cable-free detection of brain activity in freely moving mice. Activation in the primary visual cortex was found during social interaction. from Top Health News -- ScienceDaily http://bit.ly/2wodmg6 via IFTTT

GWAS identifies new risk loci for harmful alcohol use

A genome-wide association study has identified five new genetic risk loci that can pass on risk for harmful alcohol use from parents to children, and confirmed one previously identified risk locus. from Top Health News -- ScienceDaily http://bit.ly/2wodk7Y via IFTTT

Newly discovered mechanism reveals how Parkinson's disease can spread between brain cells

Tiny channels between nerve cells are involved in a newly discovered mechanism of how Parkinson's disease can spread throughout the brain, according to new research from Linköping University, Sweden. The results demonstrate that harmful protein aggregates, or deposits, can bind and 'hitch a lift' with channel-forming proteins, and in this way spread to healthy cells. The study has been published in Acta Neuropathologica. from Top Health News -- ScienceDaily http://bit.ly/2Qy2567 via IFTTT

Pollen allergies occur more frequently in anxiety sufferers

Seasonal allergies to different types of grass or tree pollen are more common in people with anxiety disorders, while patients with depression are more likely to suffer from perennial allergies triggered by allergens such as animal hair. Conversely, food and drug allergies were unaffected by these psychosocial disorders. from Top Health News -- ScienceDaily http://bit.ly/2KaYudd via IFTTT

Stiffening arteries in teenagers with persistent obesity

Children and adolescents with long-term obesity have increased arterial stiffness by their late teens, a study of more than 3,000 children followed from age 9 to 17 shows. These results, in the researchers' view, call for more initiatives to reduce teenage obesity. from Top Health News -- ScienceDaily http://bit.ly/2XbifVG via IFTTT
