Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine report that an experimental drug first developed to treat kidney disease prolongs survival and improves muscle function in mice genetically engineered to develop ...

Activation of the transcription factor p53 in response to different types of cellular stress can lead to cell survival as well as cell elimination. Novel insights into the functions of p53 reveal that ...

Patients with lung cancer and poor pulmonary function at diagnosis have worse rates of overall survival, according to study results presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference, ...

Subset analysis of patients whose ALS did not progress from a long-term survival study showed NP001 saved lung function and extended life by 22 months vs. a control group (~70% on riluzole) NP001 ...

Taking aspirin was found to improve liver function and extend survival among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma – the most common primary liver cancer. After patients with hepatocellular carcinoma ...

Lowering the body's temperature in cardiac arrest patients with 'non-shockable' heart rhythms increases survival and brain function. Patients who received the treatment were about three times more ...

Sphingolipids are bioactive molecules that have key roles in the regulation of cancer cell signalling to control tumour suppression or survival. Ceramide is a bioeffector molecule that mediates cell ...

Many biological or medical experiments have as their goal to estimate the survival function of a specified population of subjects when the time to the specified event may be censored due to loss to ...

Very often distributions will exist that logically should satisfy linear stochastic ordering requirements. For example, if a mechanical device is improved through N stages, the corresponding survival ...
