London, Aug 7 (ANI): Neuroscientists have long scratched their heads to solve the puzzle of itching. But now researchers have finally worked out what makes us itch. The research team, led by neuroscientist Zhou-Feng Chen and his colleagues at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, has identified cells in the spinal cord that spring into action when an insect bite, washing powder or infection irritates our ...

Neuroscience Genes that may be involved in heroin-addiction relapse identified

Washington, Aug 7 (ANI): While studying the brains of heroin-addicted rats, scientists have identified those genes that may be involved in precipitating a relapse. Kara Kuntz-Melcavage, from Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, USA, and colleagues have discovered a group of genes whose expression is significantly altered following exposure to drug paraphernalia after an enforced ‘cold-turkey’ period. “A number of gene expression studies have investigated changes induced ...

gene linked to Alzheimer’s identified

Washington, Aug 7 (ANI): Scientists from University of California, Irvine, have identified a new gene linked to Alzheimer’s disease. They found that the gene called TOMM40 appears twice as often in people with Alzheimer’s disease than in those without it. The study showed that having the harmful form of TOMM40 drastically increases one’s susceptibility when other risk factors - such as having a gene called ApoE-4 - ... Full story

Evolution may explain why treated tumors sometimes spread more aggressively than untreated ones.

Evolution Could Explain Cancer-Relapse Mystery Evolution may explain why treated tumors sometimes spread more aggressively than untreated ones. Most cancer therapies work by distinguishing between normal cells and cancerous ones. For example, radiation therapy distinguishes between tumor cells that can't repair themselves and healthy cells that can. Chemotherapy is more harmful to tumor cells than healthy cells ... Full story
