The first pictures of a heart attack from inside a human heart have been taken by doctors.

The team who captured the crucial moment claim that the new insight into how the heart reacts to an attack could help them to improve treatments for victims.

The images allow doctors to see the extent of internal bleeding that the attack is causing in a patient.

This extra information means they can better tailor their interventions to the patient’s needs.

An extract from grape seeds forces laboratory leukemia cells to commit cell suicide, according to researchers from the University of Kentucky. They found that within 24 hours, 76 percent of leukemia cells had died after being exposed to the extract.

The investigators, who report their findings in the January 1, 2009, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, also teased apart the cell signaling pathway associated with use of grape seed extract that led to cell death, or apoptosis. They found that the extract activates JNK, a protein that regulates the apoptotic pathway.

Scientists have discovered a compound found in human saliva that can heal wounds quickly.

The Netherland scientists published this research in The FASEB Journal and believe that their studies
will be able to help people suffering from chronic wounds related to diabetes and other disorders, in addition to traumatic injuries and burns.

Fortunately, the compounds can be mass-produced and could become as common as antibiotic creams and rubbing alcohol.

The scientists found that histatin was responsible for the healing. This small protein was previously believed to only kill bacteria.

It sounds almost too good to be true: a cheap and simple drug that kills almost all cancers by switching off their “immortality”. The drug, dichloroacetate (DCA), has already been used for years to treat rare metabolic disorders and so is known to be relatively safe.

It also has no patent, meaning it could be manufactured for a fraction of the cost of newly developed drugs.
