Controlling Damaging Protein Plaques Without Side-effects: Research Could Improve Alzheimer's Medication - When protein plaque builds up in the blood, it can result in serious diseases such as heart disease and Alzheimer's (27.4.2007)
Short chromosomes put cancer cells in forced rest - A Johns Hopkins team has stopped in its tracks a form of blood cancer in mice by engineering and inactivating an enzyme, telomerase, thereby shortening the ends of chromosomes, called telomeres (27.4.2007)
Hepatitis C virus production by human hepatocytes dependent on assembly and secretion of very low-density lipoproteins - Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and triglyceride-rich very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) both are secreted uniquely by hepatocytes and circulate in blood in a complex (6.4.2007)
Hormone-based blood pressure pill possible - The Mayo Clinic scientists said the study supports the feasibility of developing a peptide-based drug that can be given in pill form to lower blood pressure and that is based on a hormone originating in the heart, called B-type natriuretic peptide (4.4.2007)
Blood made suitable for all - Scientists have discovered enzymes that can efficiently convert blood groups A, B and AB into the 'universal' O group — which can be given to anyone but is always in short supply (3.4.2007)
