   A study published in the Oct. 24 issue of PLoS ONE suggests that viruses may contribute to cancer by causing excessive death to normal cells while promoting the growth of surviving cells with cancerous traits. The University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute researchers suggest that viruses may act as forces of natural selection by wiping out normal cells that support the replication of viruses, leaving behind those cells that have acquired defects in their circuitry.

   01-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Benzodiazepine use was not shown to be associated with hip fractures after all, according to a new study from the Department of Ambulatory Care and Prevention (of Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care). Previous epidemiological studies suggesting an association have been used to support legislation and policy decisions that limit access to these drugs among the elderly. These policies may need to be reexamined based on these new findings, which are being published in the Jan. 16 Annals of Internal Medicine.

   01-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Recent work led by University of Iowa neuroscientist Natalie Denburg, PhD, suggests that for a significant number of older adults, measurable neuropsychological deficits do seem to lead to poor decision-making and an increased vulnerability to fraud. The findings also suggest that these individuals may experience disproportionate aging of a brain region critical for decision-making.

   A new study indicates that the drug FTY720 prevents disease in a mouse model of two leukemias -- blast crisis chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia -- caused by the cancer protein BCR-ABL. As the drug also induced cell lines from humans with these leukemias to die in vitro the authors suggest that FTY720 should be considered by researchers and clinicians developing new approaches to treat CML-BC and ALL.

   08-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists at the University of Toronto Mississauga and Queen's University show that genetic variation in the foraging gene results in different tolerance for heat stress and demonstrate how the use of specific drugs can replicate this effect in fruit flies and locusts. While the findings are at an early stage, the researchers suggest that they could lead to ways to rapidly protect the brain from extremely high fevers in mammals, including humans.

    08-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Vioxx and related pain medications were taken off the market in 2004 because they caused dangerous heart problems in some people. A group of scientists, led by Timothy Hla at the University of Connecticut, may now have figured out how these drugs trigger these life-threatening side-effects. The new study will be published online in the the Journal of Experimental Medicine on Aug.27.
