Geisinger launches extensive study on obesity and related liver problem
Relying on one of the largest collections of liver tissue samples ever acquired by a single organization, Geisinger Health System researchers have embarked on a massive study of one of the fastest growing liver problems. view more (2007-04-17)
Gene research gets faster thanks to Aston University team
Aston University researchers have won a BBSRC research grant worth over £300,000 to study one of the most exciting areas of science today - biomolecular interactions. The Aston research team has invented a better, more effective method of randomising genes for laboratory research. Dr Anna Hine, who is leading the research and was the primary... view more...

A glass of wine can help find new mineral deposits
In a fascinating piece of spare-time research, CSIRO Exploration & Mining scientist Dr Ryan Noble has found that chemical ingredients in these drinks, including weak organic acids, have the ability to dissolve weakly-bound metals into solution. view more (2007-09-17)
High insulin levels impair intestinal metabolic function
Nutritional scientists at the University of Alberta are the first to establish a connection between high insulin levels and dysfunction of intestinal lipid metabolism in an animal model. view more (2007-04-25)
Discovery about obesity drug helping scientists develop new cancer treatments
Based on their surprising discovery that an obesity drug can kill cancer cells, scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have made a new finding about the drug's effects and are working to design more potent cancer treatments. view more (2007-07-09)
Folding Proteins on a Computer
Proteins only function when properly folded In order for enzymatic reactions to proceed correctly, the enzyme and substrate must fit together as precisely as a lock and key. The function of the enzyme and protein is determined by the structure of the latter. The chain of amino acids that makes up the protein thus has to fold in a very precise... view more... (2001-01-19)
3-D forms link antibiotic resistance and brain disease
The story of what makes certain types of bacteria resistant to a specific antibiotic has a sub-plot that gives insight into the cause of a rare form of brain degeneration among children, according to investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2006-08-21)
Discovery of metabolic pathway for parasite could lead to new controls for diseases
Toxoplasma gondii is one nasty bug. A microscopic parasite, it lives in the intestinal tract of cats but can be carried by most warm-blooded animals. In humans, it can harm or even kill a developing fetus, and it can as well sicken those with compromised immune systems, such as AIDS patients. view more (2006-08-15)
Study reveals surprising details of the evolution of protein translation
A new study of transfer RNA, a molecule that delivers amino acids to the protein-building machinery of the cell, challenges long-held ideas about the evolutionary history of protein synthesis. view more (2008-08-13)
Study shows new imaging tracer clarifies cause of chest pain up to 30 hours after pain stops
A national team of researchers, led by a cardiovascular nuclear medicine specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center, has demonstrated for the first time that an experimental radioactive compound can show images of heart damage up to 30 hours after a brief interruption of blood flow and oxygen. view more (2005-09-27)
Deep thinking: Scientists sequence a cold-loving marine microbe
At home in the deep, dark Arctic Ocean, the marine bacterium Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H keeps very cool-typically below 5° degrees Celsius. How does the bacterium function in this frigid environment? To find out, scientists at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) and collaborators have sequenced and analyzed C. psychrerythraea's... view more... (2005-07-26)
Accessory protein determines whether pheromones are detected
Pheromones are like the molecules you taste as you chomp on a greasy french fry: big and fatty. view more (2007-10-18)
PREOPERATIVE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT IMPROVES OUTCOME FOR HIGH-RISK PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEART SURGERY (p 696)
An immune-enhancing nutritional supplement conventionally used in critical care and cancer surgery could be beneficial for elderly and other high-risk patients requiring cardiac surgery, conclude authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Elderly patients and those with poor ventricular function have increased illness and death... view more... (2001-08-29)
Marijuana-derived drug suppresses bladder pain in animal models
IP 751, a potent synthetic analog of a metabolite of THC-the principal active ingredient of marijuana-effectively suppresses pain in hypersensitive bladder disorders such as interstitial cystitis (IC). view more (2006-05-22)
Stress affects the diet of school children
An examination of the eating behaviour of children suggests that stress is linked to an increase in unhealthy eating patterns. This is the finding of a study reported today, Thursday 5 September, at The British Psychological Society Division of Health Psychology Annual Conference at Sheffield Hallam University, by Martin Cartwright, Jane Wardle,... view more...

Changes to DNA linked to diabetes
Genes that regulate the energy consumption of cells have a different structure and expression in type II diabetics than they do in healthy people, according to a new study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet published in Cell Metabolism. view more (2009-09-02)
Is life the rule or the exception? The answer may be in the interstellar clouds
Is life a highly improbable event, or is it rather the inevitable consequence of a rich chemical soup available everywhere in the cosmos? Scientists have recently found new evidence that amino acids, the `building-blocks` of life, can form not only in comets and asteroids, but also in the interstellar space. This result is consistent with... view more... (2002-05-28)
Scientists discover novel way to remove iron from ferritin
A new study led by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, Ph.D., is the first to suggest that a small protein or heptapeptide (seven amino acids wrapped into one unit) could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin. view more (2007-11-05)
Metabolic disorder not well-suited for inclusion in newborn screening programs
A metabolic disorder that can lead to developmental delay and other problems is more common than previously assumed, but does not meet major criteria for inclusion in newborn screening programs at this time. view more (2006-08-23)
High triglycerides, other cholesterol raise risk of stroke
People with high triglycerides and another type of cholesterol tested but not usually evaluated as part of a person's risk assessment have an increased risk of a certain type of stroke. view more (2007-12-27)
