Scientists develop vaccine that successfully attacks breast cancer
Bioscience Technology Share    
Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Arizona and the University of Georgia have developed a vaccine that dramatically reduces tumors in a mouse model that mimics 90 percent of human breast and pancreatic cancer cases — including those that are resistant to common treatments. The vaccine, described in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals a promising new strategy for treating cancers that share the same distinct carbohydrate signature, including ovarian and colorectal cancers.

Most NBA players recover from meniscus tears
Reuters
Share
A handful of players are sidelined by torn knee cartilage every season in the National Basketball Association, according to a new study, and most make a full recovery within a couple months. At least three NBA teams recently announced that one of their players would miss the first few weeks of a shortened season with a torn meniscus. The new study suggests that when those athletes do make it back on to the court, they'll be able to play at the same level as before they got injured.

Study: Naked mole-rats reveal clues to treating arthritis
CNN
Share
Experiments on naked mole-rats may lead to better treatments with fewer side effects for humans suffering from painful inflammatory arthritis, according to a new study published in the journal Science. The partially blind, hairless, wrinkly, cold-blooded mammals were good candidates for the study because of their unique insensitivity to acid-induced pain.

First-of-its-kind surgery helps cancer patient keep her voice
University of Michigan
Share
When Sherry Wittenberg was diagnosed with a rare cancer in the cricoid cartilage of her larynx, doctors told her the only way to treat the condition was to remove her voice box. Wittenberg sought a second opinion at the University of Michigan Health System, where she was offered a new procedure that, if successful, would allow her to keep her voice. The technique reconstructs a ring of cartilage in a patient's neck called the cricoid with a slice from the tip of one shoulder blade.

Researchers find cartilage-stabilizing protein also drives cartilage growth
Health Canal
Share
University of California-Davis researchers have discovered that the protein responsible for the structural integrity of cartilage has a major role in creating it as well. The protein, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, binds to growth-promoting molecules and links them with the cellular framework that forms cartilage. The investigators also discovered that COMP increases the production of growth factors called transforming growth factor-beta, creating a supportive environment for the development of new cartilage.

Without autopsies, hospitals bury their mistakes
ProPublica
Share
 Autopsies once were an integral part of American healthcare, performed on roughly half of all patients who died in hospitals. Today, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show, they are conducted on about 5 percent of such patients. Hospitals are not required to offer or perform autopsies. Some facilities and doctors shy away from them, fearing they may reveal malpractice. What has not been appreciated, pathologists and public health officials say, are the far-reaching consequences for U.S. healthcare of minuscule autopsy rates.

New drug stops Alzheimer's in mice
Psych Central
Share
Scientists at California's Salk Institute say they have developed a new drug that holds potential for halting the mental decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. In a study, the drug improved memory and prevented brain damage in mice. Although it is yet unknown whether the compound will prove safe and effective in humans, Salk researchers say their results suggest the drug is promising for treatment of people with Alzheimer's.

Wound-treating jelly regenerates fresh, scar-free skin
Popular Science
Share
Tissue engineering and tissue healing have a common complication — it's difficult to build new blood vessels throughout the rebuilt skin, but vasculature is required to keep the skin alive. This is especially problematic for victims of severe burns. A new customized sugary gel substance can work wonders to re-grow skin and the associated blood vessels, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins University.

Bone marrow transplant best for boosting blood cells
New Scientist
Share
Bone marrow transplants may beat stem-cell injections as a way of increasing the production of blood cells when tissue is from an unrelated donor. A potential problem of either treatment — used for diseases like sickle cell anemia — is graft-versus-host disease. This potentially fatal condition occurs when donated blood cells launch an immune attack on the host.

Red raspberry extract may help arthritis
EmaxHealth

A new study suggests red raspberries are not just another great-tasting fruit. Researchers at the University of Rhode Island report that red raspberry extract reduced inflammation, cartilage damage, and bone resorption and thus may prove helpful in modulating the development and severity of arthritis. Berries as a whole are power houses of antioxidants that also boast anti-inflammatory properties.

Blood test predicts effectiveness of antidepressants
Laboratory Equipment
Share
Loyola University Medical Center researchers report what could become the first reliable method to predict whether an antidepressant will work on a depressed patient. A Loyola study found that among depressed patients who had higher than normal blood levels of protein vascular endothelial growth factor, more than 85 percent experienced partial or complete relief from depression after taking escitalopram. To compare, fewer than 10 percent of depressed patients who had low levels of VEGF responded to the drug.

Aspirin may reduce risk of repeat blood clots
WebMd
Share
A low dose of daily aspirin, taken after completing six to 12 months of anti-clotting drug treatment, may help prevent the recurrence of deadly blood clots, a new study shows. One doctor went so far as to call the preliminary study a potential "game changer." The clots, known as venous thromboembolism, often occur in the legs. They can travel to the lungs and sometimes be fatal.

Fake 'intestine' may help kids feel better
Futurity
Share
Children with short bowel syndrome are unable to absorb food properly and need to have nutrients administered directly into their veins. The majority of children with the condition require an intestine transplant — which is limited by a lack of suitable donors and complications from immunosuppressive therapy. Professors from Cornell University and the University of Pittsburgh are collaborating to turn a research tool into an artificial intestine to be transplanted into children with SBS.
