Biofuels: An advisable strategy?
Biofuels have been an increasingly hot topic on the discussion table in the last few years. In 2003 the European Union introduced a Directive suggesting that Member states should increase the share of biofuels in the energy used for transport to 2% by 2005 and 5.75% by 2010.   view more (2007-03-08)

Making gas out of crude oil
An international team that includes University of Calgary scientists has shown how crude oil in oil deposits around the world - including in Alberta's oil sands - are naturally broken down by microbes in the reservoir.   view more (2007-12-13)

Proteins may predict lung transplant rejection
Using the latest in high tech tools, researchers have identified three proteins that were highly predictive of chronic lung rejection up to 20 months before the rejection occurred.   view more (2006-11-03)

Stroke-associated damage to brain structure may lead to heart attack
Researchers using a new method of analyzing brain images have identified an area of the brain that, when affected by a stroke, may also cause damage to the heart muscle.   view more (2006-04-25)

Micro Burner for Flexible Tests
With the Catalyst Micro Burner Reactor CMBR the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) has developed a miniaturized catalytic burner reactor. It is equiped with a stack of 1 to 16 micro structured platelets which can be coated with different carrier and catalyst substrates. The platelets... view more (2004-04-19)

Adiponectin is a metabolic link between obesity and bone mineral density
Researchers at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine, Toronto, Canada, have discovered that adiponectin, a protein secreted from adipocytes, is a metabolic link that can explain, in part, the known positive relationship between obesity and both bone mineral density and reduced... view more (2008-11-26)

Second pathway behind HIV-associated immune system dysfunction identified
Researchers at the Partners AIDS Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital (PARC-MGH) may have discovered a second molecular "switch" responsible for turning off the immune system's response against HIV.   view more (2007-10-01)

Diabetes Risk Factors Develop Earlier in Women than Men

New Evidence Of Impact Of Global Changes On Remote Tropical Rainforests
Scientists have shed new light on the impact of global environmental changes on remote tropical forests with studies that show that the rates of growth and death of trees in pristine forests across the Amazon have accelerated substantially in recent decades. The scientists also demonstrate that the... view more (2004-02-06)

DOE JGI sequences, releases genome of symbiotic tree fungus
The DNA sequence of Laccaria bicolor, a fungus that forms a beneficial symbiosis with trees and inhabits one of the most ecologically and commercially important microbial niches in North American and Eurasian forests, has been determined by the U.S. Department of Energy DOE Joint Genome Institute... view more (2006-07-25)

Pittsburgh scientists find protein may be key to new therapies for elevated triglycerides
Diabetes researchers at the John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a potential target for the development of new therapies to treat hypertriglyceridemia, a lipid disorder commonly seen in people who are obese and diabetic.   view more (2008-05-27)

Hopkins study reveals white blood cells can both hurt and help transplanted kidneys
In an example of biological irony, the same white blood cell chemistry known to damage kidneys used for transplants may also help prevent such damage, according to a federally funded study in genetically engineered mice at Johns Hopkins.   view more (2006-09-21)

Fans use too much electricity
From our kitchens to industrial buildings, we cannot do without fans - even if we are only seldom aware of them. They cool the processor in our home computers, or rotate in the cooling towers of large power stations. But they need electricity to be able to do their job. For Europe, the Fraunhofer... view more (2002-08-29)

New research to run cars on flower power
Will the oilfields of the future be full of sunflowers? They could be if Leeds fuel and energy researchers succeed in producing hydrogen from sunflower oil. Hydrogen is seen as the fuel of the future - able to create electricity with no harmful emissions - to power everything from cars, portable... view more (2002-06-13)

Childhood Lead Exposure Linked to Increased Injuries as Teens
Teenagers who experienced high blood-lead levels during childhood appear to suffer more accidental injuries than those who had lower lead exposure, according to new research conducted by University of Cincinnati (UC) environmental health experts.   view more (2006-10-03)

Poor sleep in teens linked to higher blood pressure
