Endoplasmic reticulum stress in the brain may cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Disruptions in a protein folding process occurring in the brain, known as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, may cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, independent of other factors. A research team at the George Washington University published their results in the Journal of Clinical Investigation Insight.

Researchers discover size-sensing protein that controls glucose uptake and storage in fat cells

Researchers at the University of Iowa have discovered that a molecule which can sense the swelling of fat cells also controls a signaling pathway that allows fat cells to take up and store excess glucose.

Scientists identify key gene in 22q11.2 that contributes to genitourinary birth defects

The 22q11.2 region of human chromosome 22 is a hotspot for a variety of birth defects. Scientists learned about this region because it is deleted in about 1 in 4,000 births, causing the loss or duplication of up to 40 genes.

Penn psychologist shows how empathy can elicit both negative and positive health effects

When a close friend shares bad news, our instinct is to help. But putting ourselves in a friend's shoes, imagining how we would feel if we were the one suffering, may have detrimental effects on our own health, according to a new study led by the University of Pennsylvania's Anneke E. K. Buffone.

Stem cell therapy using Helix transendocardial delivery system provides better results, study shows

BioCardia, Inc. today announced publication of a study in the International Heart Journal. According to the study, delivery of stem cell therapy to the heart using the Helix transendocardial delivery system results in superior cell delivery than either percutaneous intra-coronary infusion or direct injection in an open chest procedure.

Researchers discover new anti-thrombotic drug target for developing more protective blood thinners

Blood platelets shore up open wounds and help cuts heal, but they can also cause heart attacks and strokes when a congealed ball of platelets known as a thrombus breaks free from a site of injury and gets lodged in blood vessels that feed oxygen to the brain or heart.
