Dr. David Wright, associate professor of emergency medicine at Emory University, talks about research conducted with his colleagues, Dr. Donald Stein and Dr. Art Kellermann, that involves the use of progesterone for treating traumatic brain injury. In the summer of 2009, the NIH awarded a 3-year grant of $14.5 million for these Emory researchers to lead a nationwide study on the effectiveness of this treatment. (Sponsored by the Provost’s Office “Great Scholars” series and Emory College of Arts and Sciences.)

admin — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:02:32 +0000

Scientists estimate that as much as 17% of all cancers are caused by viruses, including human papillomaviruses (HPV), a ubiquitous viral family. In this new documentary by Science Bulletins, the American Museum of Natural History’s current-science video program, doctors and molecular biologists uncover HPV’s complex life history to treat cervical and oral cancers — and even prevent them. This video was funded by a NIH Science Education Partnership Award.
