From sow’s ear to new skin – new treatments for old wounds
Sterilised, cell-free pigskin* is just one of the products being developed by scientists to help the body recover from injury or disease without scarring or forming chronic, non-healing wounds. The material helps the natural healing process by acting as a matrix over which skin cells are encouraged to grow, says Dr Ian Kill from Brunel University... view more... (2001-08-30)
Enzymatic reaction rate surprises researchers
Enzymatic reactions, which are crucial in biological processes, can occur much faster than previously thought possible, as researchers at the biophysics department of the Faculty of Exact Sciences of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have discovered. Their findings were published on line on 5 May in Nature Structural Biology (www.nature.com/nsb).... view more... (2003-05-07)
Chemical coffee maker promises purer medicines
Their method uses pressurised carbon dioxide as a solvent, because it allows chemical reactions which usually create a mixture of products to produce only one. Project leaders Chris Rayner and Tony Clifford believe it could change the way pharmaceuticals are manufactured in the future. "If the effect is general for a wide range of chemical... view more...

High-pressure chemistry in ultra small pressure cooker
Small, clever process technology is essential for the future, but is it possible? Dutch-sponsored researcher Fernando Benito López investigated the possibilities of the so-called lab-on-a-chip: microreactor chips in which chemical reactions can take place under (high) pressure. view more (2007-04-16)
Eating apples and fish during pregnancy may protect against childhood asthma and allergies

Children with Asthma More Likely to Have Behavioural Problems
Children with asthma are more likely to have behavioural problems according to a new study conducted by researchers at The University of Manchester. Dr Rachel Calam, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology, and her team followed 663 children from the National Asthma Campaign, Manchester Asthma and Allergy Study from birth to examine the development... view more...

Unique soybean lines hold promise for producing allergy-free soybeans
Researchers have isolated two Chinese soybean lines that grow without the primary protein linked to soy allergies in children and adults. view more (2006-05-05)
Hay fever may be best treated with self-adjusted dosing
Hay fever, the often seasonal allergy that affects between 10 and 20 percent of the American population, is best controlled through a course of patient-adjusted dosing. view more (2008-10-01)
Doctors are often strongly affected by patient deaths
Doctors are often powerfully affected by the deaths of patients for whom they care, and some may need emotional support, according to a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at two teaching hospitals in the United States investigated the emotional reactions of 188 doctors who cared for 68 patients at the time of their death. Most doctors (74%)... view more...

New radiation technique can greatly reduce painful skin burns in women with breast cancer
Breast cancer patients who undergo a new radiation technique called intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) after surgery are three times less likely to have severe skin reactions from the treatment compared to standard radiation therapy. view more (2006-11-07)
Breastfeeding does not protect against asthma and allergic diseases (pp 887, 901)
A longitudinal study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provides compelling evidence that breastfeeding does not protect against asthma and atopy in childhood and early adulthood-authors of the study suggest that breastfeeding may actually increase the risk of these diseases. Breastfeeding is widely advocated to reduce the risk of atopy and... view more... (2002-09-18)
