Link found between muscle damage during childbirth, condition causing fallen bladder, uterus

New research from the University of Michigan Health System establishes one of the strongest connections yet discovered between muscle damage that can occur during vaginal deliveries and pelvic organ prolapse, a condition that causes the uterus, bladder or bowel to fall down later in a woman's life.

   When a blood vessel clogs up, a localized deficiency of oxygen results, causing the surrounding tissue to die. However, working with mice, VIB scientists connected to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven have been able to prevent muscular tissue with severe hypoxia from dying. For the medical world, this discovery signifies an important step forward in limiting damage after a heart attack, for example, or for better preservation of organs awaiting transplants.

7. Research suggests fitness reduces inflammation
   07-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A number of studies have suggested that regular exercise reduces inflammation -- a condition that is predictive of cardiovascular and other diseases, such as diabetes. If such a link exists, the nature of the relationship is by no means fully understood.A recent study by researchers at the University of Illinois provides new evidence that may help explain some of the underlying biological mechanisms that take place as the result of regular exercise.

8. Overexcited neurons not good for cell health
   12-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A Northwestern University study reports that a mutation in a transcription factor that controls a neurotransmitter in the nematode C. elegans causes an imbalance in neuronal signaling that results in protein damage in target cells. Similar results and consequences on protein folding were found to occur upon exposure to the common toxins nicotine and lindane (a pesticide). Neurons become overexcited and fire incorrect signals too rapidly, resulting in proteins in target muscle cells becoming stressed, misfolding and becoming nonfunctional.

    12-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Researchers of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's Mouse Biology Unit, Italy, and the Harefield Heart Science Centre of Imperial College London, have now discovered a molecular signal that helps muscle regenerate and protects it from atrophy. In this week's issue of the Journal of Cell Biology they report that the naturally occurring protein is a promising candidate for new strategies in treating muscle damage and wasting.
