Sensory neurons regulate how we recognize pain, touch, and the movement and position of our own bodies, but the field of neuroscience is just beginning to unravel this circuitry. Now, new research from the Salk Institute shows how a protein called p75 is critical for pain signaling, which could one day have implications for treating neurological disorders as well as trauma such as spinal cord injury.

p53 , resveratrol , pancreatic cancer and apoptosis
Intrigued by pancreatic cancer, infection and environmental toxins, I stumble into this topic from Wiki. One of my clients died of stomach , esophagal and pancreatic cancer. Previous to that , he had shingles and other infections. Her immune system became weaker during the last 5 years before his death. He disregarded stomach pains andContinue reading “p53 , resveratrol , pancreatic cancer and apoptosis”
Metabolism is life sustaining and sum of all chemical reactions for growth and death of cells
Metabolism (from Greek: μεταβολή metabolē, “change”) is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination ofContinue reading “Metabolism is life sustaining and sum of all chemical reactions for growth and death of cells”
Novel Type of Cell Death in Huntington’s Disease May Lead to Effective New Therapies
Summary: Researchers have identified a novel type of cell death associated with Huntington’s disease. Source: Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Researchers centered at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) identify novel type of cell death in Huntington’s disease that may uncover new treatments. In Huntington’s disease (HD), the huntingtin gene is mutated, causing progressive neuronalContinue reading “Novel Type of Cell Death in Huntington’s Disease May Lead to Effective New Therapies”
Some cancers die or regresses
By Momna Hejmadi, University Of Bath, The Conversation It is hard to believe that some cancers miraculously disappear, but it does happen. Over 1,000 case studies document cancer sufferers who experienced spontaneous regression of their tumour. So why does this happen and is it possible to exploit it to benefit cancer patients? The earliest documentedContinue reading “Some cancers die or regresses”
