A new small molecule drug could overcome cancer drug resistance

Small molecule drug may prevent chemotherapy resistance Scientists have discovered a small molecule drug that may stop cancer cells from becoming resistant to chemotherapy. Drug resistance is a major cause of cancer relapse and is responsible for as much as 90% of deaths related to the disease. The new compound, which was tested in an

Magnetic stimulation of the brain improves working memory in young and old adults

Magnetic stimulation of the brain improves working memory, offering a new potential avenue of therapy for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, according to new research from the Duke University School of Medicine. Healthy younger and older adult participants who received a therapy called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) performed better

A blood test could reveal blocked arteries

Researchers hope to develop test that could detect early changes in blood flow to heart A Duke Health pilot project suggests that in the near future, a blood test could show whether arteries carrying blood to the heart are narrow or blocked, a risk factor for heart disease. According to the 40-person study published in the

Animal stem cells are grown into a preliminary device to detect bombs and drugs

Every day, thousands of trained K9 dogs sniff out narcotics, explosives and missing people across the United States. These dogs are invaluable for security, but they’re also very expensive and they can get tired. Duke researchers have taken the first steps toward building an artificial “robot nose” device made from living mouse cells that officers

A new way to reduce delirium after surgery

Vagus nerve stimulation reduced inflammation and restored cognitive function after injury For adults over age 65, surgical complications can dampen not only their physical health but also their mental sharpness, with more than half of high-risk cases declining into delirium. In research published this week in the journal Brain Stimulation, Duke University scientists show in a

A new way to predict and prevent depression

Tapping into the electrical chatter between different regions of the brain may provide a new way to predict and prevent depression, according to new research by Duke University neuroscientists and electrical engineers. The researchers found different networks of electrical brain activity in mice that were more susceptible to developing depression-like symptoms following stressful events than

An aggressive stem cell transplant regimen provides hope for a debilitating and lethal autoimmune disorder

Adding irradiation before transplant improves long-term results and should change practice Scleroderma with internal organ involvement is a debilitating and lethal autoimmune disorder with few effective treatments. But a study led by Duke Health researchers has found new cause for optimism using an aggressive stem cell transplant regimen. The researchers, publishing in the Jan. 4 issue

Uncovering Genetic Elements That Drive Limb and Tissue Regeneration

Limb or organ regrowth may be hidden in our genes If you trace our evolutionary tree way back to its roots — long before the shedding of gills or the development of opposable thumbs — you will likely find a common ancestor with the amazing ability to regenerate lost body parts. Lucky descendants of this

Neuroscientists establish brain-to-brain networks in primates, rodents

Neuroscientists at Duke University have introduced a new paradigm for brain-machine interfaces that investigates the physiological properties and adaptability of brain circuits, and how the brains of two or more animals can work together to complete simple tasks. These brain networks, or Brainets, are described in two articles to be published in the July 9,

New Antibiotic Could Provide Single-Dose Option

In the battle against stubborn skin infections, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a new single-dose antibiotic is as effective as a twice-daily infusion given for up to 10 days, according to a large study led by Duke Medicine researchers. Researchers said the advantage of the new drug, oritavancin, is its potential to curtail what has
