High-temperature superconductors hold the key to a handheld tool for surgeons that promises to be more accurate, cost-effective and safer than existing methods for staging and treating various cancers, including breast cancer.
A newly published study demonstrates that imaging with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) using a radiolabeled antibody accurately identifies whether a patient has clear cell renal carcinoma — the most common and aggressive type of renal tumor — and arms the urologist with crucial information that will help determine whether surgery is needed.
Critical portions of the brain in those who are obese don’t really know they are overweight, researchers have reported in the March issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press.
The case for low-carbohydrate diets is gaining weight. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have completed the largest and longest-ever comparison of four popular diets, and the lowest-carbohydrate Atkins diet came out on top.
Getting enough calcium and vitamin D while reducing calorie intake can increase the beneficial effects of weight loss on cholesterol levels adding to the number of mechanisms by which calcium can benefit weight loss on blood fats.
The unique Botrylloides whole body regeneration process could serve as a new in vivo model system for regeneration, suggesting that retinoic acid signaling may have had ancestral roles in body restoration events.
Caloric restriction in non-obese people translates into less oxidative damage in muscle cells, according to a new study by Anthony Civitarese, Eric Ravussin and colleagues (Pennington Biomedical Research Center). As oxidative damage has been linked to aging, this could explain how limiting calorie intake without malnutrition extends life span.
Deep red tomatoes get their rich color from lycopene, a disease-fighting antioxidant. A new study, however, suggests that a special variety of orange-colored tomatoes provide a different form of lycopene, one that our bodies may more readily use.
UCLA researchers have uncovered new clues that may explain why Graves’ disease attacks the muscle tissue behind the eyes, often causing them to bulge painfully from their sockets, as in the case of the late actor Marty Feldman.
