Based in part on protein structures determined at the National Synchrotron Light Source at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, scientists at the University of Utah have developed new peptides that appear to be significantly more effective at blocking HIV's entry into cells than other drugs in their class. These peptides are sufficiently potent to begin preclinical studies as a new class of agents for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS.

A stunning discovery may make blood doping and the treatment of severe anemia as easy as washing your hair. In the October print issue of the FASEB Journal, researchers show that hair follicles on people's head have the potential to become erythropoietin factories. EPO, the hormone responsible for the creation of red blood cells, is used illegally to enhance athletic performance and legally to treat severe anemia associated with kidney failure and chemotherapy.

One of the major issues associated with longer life expectancy in man and his best friend is an increase in the incidence of cancer. Even though they cannot talk, it seems dogs might be able to tell us why and how certain cancers develop. In turn that could lead to better treatments for both canine and human cancer patients.

Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine report a significant new advance in the search for an effective treatment for human liver cancer. Using a newly available monoclonal antibody, they demonstrated dramatic reductions in tumor cell proliferation and survival in human and mouse hepatocellular cancer cell lines. This finding has significant implications not only for the treatment of liver cancer but for a number of different types of cancer.

Tracing Parkinson's lethal mechanism

bianjie submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.eurekalert.org)

In the vast majority of Parkinson's disease patients, the disorder arises not because of a genetic defect, but because some external insult triggers the death of dopamine-producing neurons. Now, researchers have reported progress in understanding the mechanism underlying that death, which they say suggests a new treatment pathway.

Effects of Antipsychotic Medications on Psychosocial Functioning in Patients With Chronic Schizophrenia: Findings From the NIMH CATIE Study

alpha submitted, created time 1 year 9 months (ajp.psychiatryonline.org)

"All antipsychotic treatment groups in all phases made modest improvements in psychosocial functioning. There were no differences among them after 6, 12, or 18 months. More substantial improvements would likely require more intensive adjunctive psychosocial rehabilitation interventions. "

New cancer treatments will come

annatto submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.sciencedaily.com)

researchers say they have discovered a new method of controlling cell growth, possibly leading to new targets for cancer treatments. This discovery not only adds to our basic understanding of cell division, it could lead to better cancer drugs. Since cell growth is a fundamental biological process.
