Researchers at the University of Virginia are working on curing hearing loss with an experimental new form of gene therapy.
Two patients with the same type of cancer may have very different reactions to identical chemotherapy treatments because their cancers have different genetic causes. Doctors currently can't predict which patients will have a good long-term response to a drug and which patients' cancer will come back. Researchers at the University of Virginia have developed a computer model that addresses this problem by using genetic analysis of tumors to predict which chemotherapy regimen will do patients the most good.
The Paramount is hosting an exhibit featuring the work of local artist Joanne K. Coleman.

Scientists at the University of Virginia, US, have developed a sensor able to detect both dopamine and serotonin simultaneously in vivo for the first time. Dopamine and serotonin are important neurotransmitters. Serotonin is known to regulate sleep and is a common target for depression medication. Dopamine has been linked to locomotion, reward and motivation and is a common target for illicit drugs. The death of dopamine receptors is the cause of Parkinson's disease. ...Jill Venton and Kumara Swamy at the University of Virginia developed carbon nanotube modified microelectrodes that allowed th...
...This past Friday afternoon, a few dozen middle-school students from the area used the hurricane [robot rescue team] scenario to test the robots they built. Each robot, with positioning sensors flashing red, was timed as it traveled along a maze of electrical tape laid out on the floor of Room D-223 in the University of Virginia's Thornton Hall. ...Systems Robotics Design Camp served to introduce children to a few of the exciting and challenging problems facing systems engineers today.
Adding a lifestyle intervention led by a registered dietitian to the typical care provided to obese people with type 2 diabetes does not increase overall health-care costs and may result in cost savings, according to researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. In a study of nearly 150 people, comparing "lifestyle case management" provided by a registered dietitian to the "usual care" given to obese adults with type 2 diabetes, researchers found the addition of a "clinically feasible, modest-cost lifestyle intervention involving an RD" did not increase total costs and in some ...
