Researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center have created stem cells from the eggs of aging mice that could be used for reproductive purposes and regenerative medicine. The study, published in April issue of Aging Cell, found that even though the eggs from older females were slightly less efficient at making stem cells than those from… Continue reading

Found new gene responsable for childhood deafness
RNID funded research has discovered a new gene linked to inherited deafness, which could mean that more families will be able to identify the cause of their hearing loss. The discovery of this gene will help develop future treatments and, if it is incorporated into standard genetic testing, families with hereditary deafness will be able… Continue reading
There are genes linked with ulcerative colitis
A study of the human genome led by Cedars-Sinai researchers has now identified genes linked to ulcerative colitis, offering clues as to what causes the condition and potential avenues for new therapies to treat the disease. The study, published in Nature Genetics, examined genes of nearly 13,000 patients to determine which parts of the genome… Continue reading
Risk from falls: MU researchers developed a comprehensive streening test
More than one-third of adults ages 65 and older fall each year in the U.S., and, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 40 percent of all seniors admitted to the hospital are there due to injuries from falls. However, a new study has found that falls are not just a problem for older adults.… Continue reading
Interesting research for nutrition of children and conection with its health
No work is known in the literature to date which provides a long-term and generalised evaluation of the health of children fed intravenously in their own home. There have been, for example, articles that have made mention of a concrete case of a child who had received such treatment and had suffered a pulmonary thromboembolism… Continue reading
Which gene stops premature birth and what happen if it gone
Mutation of a gene that helps protect the body from genetic instability leads to cellular and molecular changes in the pregnant uterus that trigger premature birth, according to a study appearing online Feb. 1 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The research by scientists in the Division of Reproductive Sciences, part of the Perinatal Institute… Continue reading
New 106 health research projects cost €610 million
The European Commission announced today the funding of 106 health research projects which together will receive up to €610 million under the Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7). These projects cover issues such as diagnostics, new therapies and vaccines. They have been selected through the third call for proposals of the Health Programme of FP7.… Continue reading
