Citrus Scent Found to Suppress Liver Cancer

Essential oils exist in many plants, protecting them through their antibacterial, antiviral, and fungicidal properties. It has been recently discovered that terpenes, the oils’ chief components, can also suppress the growth of different cancer cells, including liver cancer. Their function had not previously been fully understood.   More...

Possible New Target Found for Treating Brain Inflammation

Scientists have identified an enzyme that produces a class of inflammatory lipid molecules in the brain. Abnormally high levels of these molecules appear to cause a rare inherited eurodegenerative disorder, and that disorder now may be treatable if researchers can develop suitable drug candidates that suppress this enzyme.  More...

Norovirus Interacts with Gut Bacteria to Establish a Persistent Infection That Can Be Blocked by Interferon Lambda

A team of molecular microbiologists and virologists has found that norovirus requires an intimate interaction with certain gut bacteria to establish a persistent infection, and that the infective process can be blocked by the immune factor interferon lambda.  More...

Methodology Devised to Improve Stem Cell Reprogramming

In a study that provides scientists with a critical new determination of stem cell development and its role in disease, researchers have established a first-of-its-kind approach that outlines the stages by which specialized cells are reprogrammed into stem cells resembling those found in embryos. The research could have wide ranging, long-term implications in enhancing disease modeling and devising new therapies for patients.  More...

Image: The osteochondroretricular stem cell is a newly identified type of bone stem cell that appears to be vital to skeletal development and may provide the basis for novel treatments for osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and bone fractures. In this illustration of the head of a femur, osteochondroretricular stem cells are visualized in red (Photo courtesy of Dr. Timothy Wang, Columbia University).

Gremlin 1 Expression Distinguishes Stem Cells Able to Regenerate Bones and Cartilage in Adult Mice

A newly identified type of stem cell in the bone marrow of adult mice was found to be capable of regenerating both bone and cartilage.  More...

Curcumin Used to Treat Alzheimer’s Disease

Curcumin, a natural substance found in the spice turmeric, has been used by many Asian cultures for centuries. Now, new research suggests that a close chemical analog of curcumin has properties that may make it useful as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.  More...

Placental Cells Secrete Factors That Protect Nerves from Ischemic Damage

Cells derived from placenta have been found to protect PC12 cells—rat-derived cells that behave similarly to and are used as stand-ins to study human nerve cells—in a culture-based ischemic stroke model.  More...
