Researchers have now discovered, based on patient data and animal models, how the NCAN gene results in the manic symptoms of bipolar disorder.  |
| Genetic link to prostate cancer risk in African Americans found Posted: 31 Aug 2012 11:52 AM PDT Prostate cancer in African-American men is associated with specific changes in the IL-16 gene, and by establishing the link in men of African as well as European descent, researchers may have found a useful new biomarker for prostate cancer.  |
| Asthma symptoms could be aggravated by imbalance problems Posted: 31 Aug 2012 07:39 AM PDT Asthma patients could be at a higher risk of worsening symptoms due to problems with their balance, according to new research.  |
| An open platform improves biomedical-image processing Posted: 31 Aug 2012 05:33 AM PDT A new open source platform allows for application sharing as a way of improving biomedical-image processing. Fiji has become a de facto standard that assists laboratories and microscope companies in their development of more precise products, researchers involved in the work say.  |
| Kidney stones linked with small increased risk of later kidney problems Posted: 30 Aug 2012 04:10 PM PDT Kidney stones are associated with a small but significant increased risk of developing more serious kidney problems later in life, suggests a new study.  |
