Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are applying the same mathematics used for measuring the earth's seismic activity to finding early signs of heart trouble.
University of North Carolina researchers have used an antibiotic like an on-off switch to externally regulate a gene carried by a defective virus and implanted in the brain. The report in the Dec. 2 journal Gene Therapy, suggests that gene-transfer technology using a recombinant defective virus in laboratory rats may prove feasible for gene therapy in human brain disorders such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
More than half of women with a very severe form of premenstrual syndrome are likely to have histories of physical or sexual abuse during childhood or adolescence, according to research by scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have invented a solid-state metal sensor -- roughly the thickness of three human hairs -- that can measure the acidity (pH) of chemical solutions,including body fluids. A report describing the invention is published in the December issue of Analytical Chemistry.
In a scientific first, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have reduced the severity of arthritis by turning off a molecular switch, a gene called NF-kappa B.
A study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill confirms the presence of mutated, drug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus in the semen of men taking antiviral medications for HIV infection.
Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have found that a gene discovered earlier in the decade has paradoxical properties -- it helps bring about tumor cell death yet is also necessary for their growth.
Peoplw withheart failure are less likely to experience a worsening of their condition if they are treated with three drugs, suggests a study co-authored by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In a scientific first, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have demonstrated that allergy increases susceptibility to otitis media, the most common, recurrent ear infection in young children.
Some of the nation's leading medical reporters will speak at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Nov. 14-15 in a symposium for working medical journalists and medical communications specialists.
