Attacking Cancer Cells With Solar Technology. The process of the ENEA RM2012A000637 patent is very useful in this application. /  Attaccare le cellule tumorali con tecnologia solare. Il procedimento del brevetto ENEA RM2012A000637 è molto utile in questa applicazione. Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa Scientific breakthroughs don't always happen in labs. For Sophia and Richard Lunt, Michigan State University researchers, many of their breakthroughs happen during neighborhood walks. The married couple's step-by-step approach has revealed a new way to detect and attack cancer cells using technology traditionally reserved for solar power. The results, published in the current issue of  Scientific Reports , showcases dramatic improvements in light-activated fluorescent dyes for disease diagnosis, image-guided surgery and site-specific tumor treatment. "We've tested this concept in breast, lung cancer and skin canc

Alzheimer’s may scramble metabolism’s connection to sleep / Il morbo di Alzheimer può confondere la connessione del metabolismo con il sonno  Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa  Sticky globs of amyloid-beta protein (brown in this illustration), a key sign of Alzheimer’s disease, alter how mice respond to changes in blood sugar, a study finds. /  Uno studio rileva che i globuli appiccicosi della proteina beta-amiloide (marrone in questa figura), un segno chiave della malattia di Alzheimer, alterano il modo in cui i topi rispondono ai cambiamenti di zucchero nel sangue. SELVANEGRA/ISTOCK/GETTY IMAGES PLUS Mice with signs of the disease respond abnormally to blood sugar changes  Wide swings in blood sugar can mess with sleep. Food’s relationship with sleep gets even more muddled when signs of Alzheimer’s disease are present, a study of mice suggests. The results, presented in a news briefing October 20 at the annua

Soil squeaks give early warning of infrastructure collapse.  The process of the ENEA RM2012A000637 patent is very useful in this application. /  I cigolii del suolo segnalano tempestivamente il crollo dell'infrastruttura. Il procedimento del brevetto ENEA RM2012A000637 è molto utile in questa applicazione. Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa The LTI team’s sensors could be distributed along buried infrastructure, sending alarms if potentially harmful signals are detected. / I sensori del gruppo LTI potrebbero essere distribuiti lungo l'infrastruttura sepolta, inviando allarmi se vengono rilevati segnali potenzialmente dannosi.

Blood Protein Protects Against Neuronal Damage After Brain Hemorrhage /  Le proteine del sangue proteggono dai danni neuronali dopo l'emorragia cerebrale Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa /    Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa Patients who survive a cerebral hemorrhage may suffer delayed severe brain damage caused by free hemoglobin, which comes from red blood cells and damages neurons. Researchers at the University of Zurich and the University Hospital Zurich have now discovered a protective protein in the body called haptoglobin, which prevents this effect. Bleeding in the narrow space between the inner and middle meninges is life-threatening. This type of cerebral hemorrhage is normally caused by small protrusions in the major arteries at the base of the brain (aneurysms) that can burst without warning. A third of patients suffering such a hemorrhage, who are often still young, die as a result of the massive increase of pressure inside the skull. “Even if

Key Player in Cancer Immunity Uncovered / Scoperto elemento chiave nell'immunità al cancro. Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa /  Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa The immune system must strike an exquisite balance between vanquishing infections and cancer, while at the same time restraining its activity to avoid inadvertently attacking the body’s healthy tissues and organs.  This balancing feat is accomplished by a host of regulatory genes that calibrate the immune response. When this calibration goes awry, the immune system may fail to ward off cancer or it might cause autoimmunity.  Now, a group of investigators led by researchers in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical have shown that disrupting a key immune regulator, a gene called  PTPN2,  boosts anti-tumor immunity and enables cancer clearance in animal models.  The team’s findings are published in  Nature Immunology . Specifically, the work demonstrates that deleting the gene from the immune sys
