Benign familial infantile epilepsy (BFIE) has been recognised for some time as infantile seizures, without fever, that run in families but the cause has so far eluded researchers. However clinical researchers at the University of Melbourne and Florey Neurosciences Institute and molecular geneticists at the University of South Australia have ...

(McGill University) In a new paper published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, researchers from McGill University and the University of Montreal report on how the diabetes drug metformin potentially reduces cancer risk.

(Medical Xpress) -- A team of Australian researchers has come a step closer to unlocking a mystery that causes epileptic seizures in babies.
