Waste not, want not: Role for caveolin-3 in muscular dystrophy
10-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
Muscular dystrophies are characterized by skeletal muscle weakness due to muscle fiber wasting and loss. Kawasaki Medical School researchers now show in the JCI that mice lacking caveolin-3 -- a protein that helps form a scaffold onto which other signaling molecules assemble at the cell plasma membrane -- increases the intracellular activity of myostatin, an inhibitor of muscle growth, and leads to muscle wasting. Myostatin inhibition may have potential as a therapy for certain muscular dystrophies.

Weizmann Institute scientists discover a key player in embryonic muscle development
04-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
In the final stage of muscle fiber development, the cell membranes of attached myoblasts open up and fuse together, forming one large, unified cell. It is known how myoblasts identify other myoblasts and cling together, but the way that the cell membranes fuse into one has remained a mystery. Scientists have now discovered that a protein called WIP plays a key role in muscle cell fusion.

Tipping points
08-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Growing food and fiber entails the use of fertilizer and irrigation systems and results in land clearing. These "side effects" of agriculture can lead to regime shifts -- or "tipping points" which include desertification, salinisation, water degradation and changes in climate due to altered water flows from land to atmosphere.

Study identifies characteristics of fast-growing skin cancers
12-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
Melanomas (skin cancers) are more likely to grow rapidly if they are thicker, symmetrical, elevated, have regular borders or have symptoms, according to a report in the December issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. In addition, rapidly progressing melanoma is more likely to occur in elderly men and individuals with fewer moles and freckles, and its cells tend to divide more quickly and have fewer pigments than those of slower-growing cancers.

High-dose inhaled corticosteroid use for COPD could cut risk of lung cancer
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Among a group of mostly older male veterans suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an illness that offers greater susceptibility to lung cancer, researchers found that the regular use of high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) lowered the risk of developing lung cancer.

When minority patients have insurance and a medical home, their health care improves
06-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Providing minority patients a "medical home" in which they have a regular doctor or health professional who oversees and coordinates their care would help eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities and promote more health care equity, says a new report from The Commonwealth Fund.

Microrobotic technology developed for microinjection of zebrafish embryos
09-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
University of Toronto scientists recently developed a microrobotic technology for automated microinjection of zebrafish embryos. Based on computer vision and motion control, the automated microrobotic system is capable of immobilizing a large number of zebrafish embryos into a regular pattern within seconds and injecting 15 embryos (chorion unremoved) per minute with a success rate, survival rate, and phenotypic rate all close to 100 percent. The system and performance were reported in the journal PLoS ONE.

Regular marijuana use increases risk of hepatitis C-related liver damage
01-28-2008 · EurekAlert!
Patients with chronic hepatitis C infection should not use marijuana daily, according to a study published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Researchers found that HCV patients who used cannabis daily were at significantly higher risk of moderate to severe liver fibrosis, or tissue scarring. Additionally, patients with moderate to heavy alcohol use combined with regular cannabis use experienced an even greater risk of liver fibrosis.
