The research sets the path for research on new treatments for age-related degenerative conditions, including muscle atrophy and Alzheimer's disease.</p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/stem-cell-researchers-give-old-muscle-new-pep#comments Top stories adult stem cells biochemical signals muscle atrophy stem cell researchers university of california berkeley http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/5347 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0500 admin 5347 at http://science-nature.marc8.com http://science-nature.marc8.com/biochemical-signals-associated-atherosclerosis-may-damage-o <p>In a finding that challenges conventional medical knowledge, researchers report that plaques formed in during atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, are associated with certain harmful chemical reactions that can contribute to damage in the lungs, liver and other organs. The study, which suggests that the effects of the disease are more widespread than previously believed, will be presented in April at the American Chemical Society national meeting in New Orleans.</p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/biochemical-signals-associated-atherosclerosis-may-damage-o#comments Top stories american chemical society biochemical signals hardening of the arteries medical knowledge society national meeting http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/3192 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 admin 3192 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
