A Grab for Iron - Breakthrough for Innsbruck Scientists
Nearly all organisms need iron to survive, even mould. For people with a weakened immune system such fungi pose a deadly threat. Scientists from Innsbruck (Austria) have now been able to genetically block the iron metabolism of Aspergillus fumigatus mould and thus render it harmless to humans. This discovery opens up completely new paths for... view more... (2004-10-25)

HRT may prevent endometrial cancer
The long-term use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not increase the risk of endometrial cancer and may even protect the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) from the disease, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. In one of the largest long-term studies of its kind researchers from across the UK collected data from 534 postmenopausal... view more... (2002-07-31)
