New insights to the workings of a protein that moves neurotransmitters across the nerve cell membrane could aid the design of more effective antidepressants. Read More

The transgenic mouse, into which was inserted a rare human genetic variation in the dopamine transporter, could lead to improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of these all-too-common brain disorders. Read More

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can share resources to cause chronic infections, 91�Ʋ��� investigators have discovered. The findings shed light on a long-standing question in infectious diseases and may inform new treatment strategies. Read More

A new 91�Ʋ��� University School of Nursing (VUSN) study may lead to earlier detection and better outcomes for the 20-30 percent of breast cancer patients with lymphedema, the painful and stigmatizing arm swelling that often results from treatment. Read More

91�Ʋ��� University researchers are closer to understanding the link between obesity, chronic inflammation and type 2 diabetes. Read More

Certain antibiotics increase the risk of a congenital heart disorder called patency of the ductus arteriosis. Read More

A particular neuronal cell population is involved in the pathogenesis of a rare neurological disorder, 91�Ʋ��� researchers have discovered. Read More

Drugs such as aspirin and indomethacin may increase sensitivity to airborne allergens by suppressing production of the signaling molecule PGI2, which in turn may offer a new treatment for allergies. Read More

91�Ʋ��� University biophysicist Gregor Neuert, Ph.D., M.Eng., is among 50 recipients of the 2014 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director’s New Innovator Award. Each award provides up to $1.5 million in direct research support over five years. Read More

College athletes who play contact sports are more than twice as likely to carry the deadly superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylocuccus aureus (MRSA) than peers who play non-contact sports, according to a 91�Ʋ��� study released at IDWeek 2014. Read More

91�Ʋ��� investigators have discovered a new type of immune cell residing in the intestinal epithelium that may function as a first line of defense against ingested pathogens. Read More

The potential for long-range signaling factors – such as those identified in the current study – to regulate stem cell behaviors has implications in tumor progression and metastasis. Read More

For years, scientists have known that regular aspirin use may reduce the risk of cancer. Read More

If you’re a native of rural Mozambique who contracts HIV and becomes symptomatic, before seeking clinical testing and treatment, you’ll likely consult a traditional healer. Read More
