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...28 Jan 2015
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.

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...27 Jan 2015

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...27 Jan 2015

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...26 Jan 2015
