"Skin cancer is one of the few cancers you can see with the naked eye," said Dr. Ali Hendi, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
Las redes neuronales que estu00e1n conectadas directamente a la corteza cerebral con la mu00e9dula suprarrenal, han sido identificadas por los neurocientificos. Estas son las encargadas de que el cuerpo responda ru00e1pidamente cuando se encuentre en una situaciu00f3n de estru00e9s o momentos donde la persona pueda encontrarse en tensiu00f3n.
US scientists have discovered a molecular pathway in mice that makes prostate cells vulnerable to the free radicals that lead to cancer.
The pathway, which is also involved in human prostate cancer , may help researchers find out whether antioxidants can prevent prostate cancer.
A compound found in everyday foods like beans, nuts and cereals can slow the development of cancerous tumours, UK researchers report today.
In tests on mice, inositol pentakisphosphate inhibited the enzyme phosphoinositide 3-kinase, which plays a key role in stimulating the growth of tumours, reports the team led by Dr Marco Falasca at the University College of London's Sackler Institute.
Vinegar reduces the body's insulin response to a carbohydrate meal and increases satiety, say Swedish researchers.
Increasing intake of the common flavouring at mealtimes or consuming it in a drink may therefore help dieters eat less and reduce cravings brought on by sugar peaks after meals.
Sweden becomes the latest European nation to explicitly permit regulated embryonic stem cell research and the associated technology of therapeutic cloning (or somatic cell nuclear transfer, as it is referred to in this article). "It is hoped that stem cell research will be able to lead to new methods of treatment for serious, currently incurable diseases like Parkinson's disease, diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases.
