Chromosomal Test By Molecular Biologists Determines Cancer Spread
A new biopsy test, created by molecular biologists, can tell ocular melanoma patients if theirs is the kind that will spread. Using very thin needles, surgeons collect cells from tumors and analyze ... > more -
Carb-cutting Enzyme Stopped By Bean Extract, Endocrinologists Say
UCLA researchers have found an extract in white kidney beans may help the body stop carbs from breaking down into sugars. A digestive enzyme in the body normally acts like scissors, literally cutting ... > more -
Sea Urchins' Genetics Add To Knowledge Of Cancer, Alzheimer's And Infertility
Researchers are using the sea urchins to study and understand diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and muscular dystrophy. Although they are invertebrates, the creatures ... > more -
Computer Scientists Devise Tool For Visualizing Single Organs
With MRI or CT scans, clinicians have to identify and extract the anatomy out of cross-sections views of the body. Computer scientists have created a new interactive tool that can examine scans and ... > more -
Nanotechnology Fingerprints Can Certify Authenticity
Immunochemists have now devised a range of nanoscale materials that can be embedded in drug packaging or in the pills themselves to distinguish medicines from counterfeits. Traces of these ... > more -
An Interactive, 3D Voyage into Human Anatomy
Anatomists and biochemists have created a detailed virtual view of vital organs in the human body, down to the level of tissues and cells. The software recreates the visualization from a combination ... > more -

Medical Physicists Improve Vision for Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy requires visualizing exactly where a tumor is located, usually from looking at hundreds of different X-ray , CT or PET scan images. A new system patches together 2D images into one ... > more -
MRI Can Replace CT Scans, Reducing Cancer Risks
New studies by radiologists have shown that MRI can be just as accurate as CT scans at helping radiologists diagnose pathologies such as cancer, cysts and kidney stones -- while carrying less risk, ... > more -
EMG Helps Physiatrists Find Causes of Pain
Electromyography (EMG) detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells, and can test nerve function. EMG can help physiatrists pin down the cause of back pain in cases such as spinal ... > more -
With New Antibiotics, Pediatricians Fight Proxy War on Bugs
Strep throat has become harder to fight using penicillin or amoxicillin, but that's not because the Streptococci have developed a resistance to those drugs. Instead, more than 50 percent of children ... > more
