In Genetically Vulnerable Mice, Drinking Alcohol Shrinks Critical Brain Regions

February 17, 2012
Brain scans of two strains of mice imbibing significant quantities of alcohol reveal serious shrinkage in some brain regions - but only in mice lacking a particular type of receptor for dopamine, the brain's "reward" chemical. The study, conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and published ...

New subtype of ovarian cancer may be vulnerable to anti-angiogenic drugs

February 14, 2012
BOSTON--Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a subtype of ovarian cancer able to build its own blood vessels, suggesting that such tumors might be especially susceptible to "anti-angiogenic" drugs that block blood vessel formation. In a study published in the online journal PloS ONE , ...
