Scientists have discovered that adult tendons contain stem cells
that can be isolated, grown in the lab, and then used to generate
tendon-like tissues in mice. The findings point the way toward
improved techniques for repairing human tendons damaged by repetitive
movements, tears or aging.

A genetic variant present in nearly half of Americans of European
ancestry is linked to greater effectiveness of the smoking cessation
medication bupropion (Zyban), according to research by scientists
supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the
National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes
of Health (NIH). People with this variant were less likely than
those without it to have resumed smoking six months after treatment
with bupropion.

More than 20 million adults in the United States are living with
diabetes and are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
But there are steps that they can take to reduce the complications
associated with these two diseases. The National Diabetes Education
Program (NDEP) has launched ,
a national campaign that will reach out through a network of 200
partners to health care professionals and their patients to emphasize
the importance of comprehensive control of diabetes and CVD. The
NDEP is jointly sponsored by the National Institutes of Health
and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The medication tamoxifen, best known as a treatment for breast
cancer, dramatically reduces symptoms of the manic phase of bipolar
disorder more quickly than many standard medications for the mental
illness, a new study shows. Researchers at the National Institutes
of Health's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) who conducted
the study also explained how: Tamoxifen blocks an enzyme called
protein kinase C (PKC) that regulates activities in brain cells.
The enzyme is thought to be over-active during the manic phase
of bipolar disorder.
