Increased hepcidin expression: A novel oncogenic signalling mechanism
Historically anaemia, which is associated with colorectal cancer, has been attributed to blood loss. Previous studies have elegantly shown that the anti-microbial peptide hepcidin can also induce anaemia as a consequence of infection and or inflammation. view more (2008-03-19)
3 newly discovered ERK pathway proteins related to CagA induced disease
Cytotoxin-associated gene A protein (CagA) from type I H.pylori has been proved by epidemiological and experimental studies to be closely associated with the H.pylori induced gastric diseases, especially gastric cancer. view more (2008-02-25)
Leading European experts in magnetic resonance for animals
The UAB SeRMN is enlarging its facilities to make room for two new cutting-edge machines for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). view more (2007-01-11)
Best Microchemical Study of an Archeomaterial
Bronze age artifacts, physical links between us and people alive 3000 years ago, have long been closely examined with physics-based instruments such as x-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry. Now scrutiny of microchemical surface properties of such ancient bronze in some respects surpasses the diagnostic information gained by... view more... (2001-09-04)
A fast diagnosis for bacterial meningitis
University of Sydney researchers at Westmead Millennium Institute develop an accurate and rapid method of diagnosing bacterial meningitis. view more (2005-11-17)
Maldi Mass Spectrometry May Enhance Counter-terrorism Efforts
Various Approaches Under Investigation to Determine Efficacy and Benefits The application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to discern protein biomarkers from intact viruses, bacteria, fungus, and spores as a means of identifying and classifying them will likely have a significant impact on the biotechnology,... view more...

Antarctic ice loss
Increasing amounts of ice mass have been lost from West Antarctica and the Antarctic peninsula over the past ten years, according to research from the University of Bristol and published online this week in Nature Geoscience. view more (2008-01-14)
University of Leicester announces world first forensic technique
A team led by a University of Leicester forensic pathologist is believed to be the first in the world to use a new radiological approach for mass fatality investigation. view more (2006-02-24)
New biomarker method could increase the number of diagnostic tests for cancer
A team of researchers, including several from UCSF, has demonstrated that a new method for detecting and quantifying protein biomarkers in body fluids may ultimately make it possible to screen multiple biomarkers in hundreds of patient samples, thus ensuring that only the strongest biomarker candidates will advance down the development pipeline. view more (2009-06-30)
The secret ingredients behind germinated rice
A team of researchers has identified the active compounds that contribute to the health benefits of pre-germinated brown rice; the healthy components are a related set of sterol-like molecules known as acylated steryl-beta-glucosides (ASGs). view more (2008-09-23)
Protein marker for schizophrenia risk
A protein found in immune cells may be a reliable marker for schizophrenia risk, report researchers in a new proteomics study appearing in the July issue of Molecular and Cellular proteomics. view more (2008-07-09)
Preventing obesity in children — research highlights physical activity levels
A British study, involving 5,500 children and published in the latest issue of PLoS Medicine, used accurate methods to measure the 'fat mass' of the children and the amount of physical activity they were taking. view more (2007-03-20)
Did early Southwestern Indians ferment corn and make beer?
The belief among some archeologists that Europeans introduced alcohol to the Indians of the American Southwest may be faulty. view more (2007-12-06)
Study reveals mass migration of mormon crickets driven by hunger, fear
An international team of researchers, including Kent State University professor Dr. Patrick D. Lorch, have revealed the motivating factors behind the seasonal mass migration of Mormon crickets in western North America. view more (2006-03-03)
Oldest dated evidence of cattle in southern Africa found
A team of researchers working with colleagues from the Botswana National Museum shed new light on the questions of when cattle were brought to southern Africa and from where. view more (2005-08-03)
UWE develops detectors for oestrogen in river water
Small quantities of oestrogens, which are female hormones, are excreted from the body and thus enter the sewage system. Although these chemicals seem to be largely removed in sewage treatment, it seems that minute quantities remain and thus can enter rivers to which treated sewage is discharged. These very low levels of oestrogens have been... view more... (2001-08-14)
Centrefold models are becoming more androgynous
The shapely body characteristics of centrefold models have given way to more androgynous ones, concludes a study in this week's Christmas issue of the BMJ. Researchers looked at trends in Playboy centrefold models' body measurements by analysing 577 consecutive monthly issues of Playboy, from the magazine's inception in December 1953 to December... view more...

Growth hormone treatment after weight loss surgery prevents loss of muscle mass
Growth hormone treatment for six months after weight loss surgery reduces patients' losses in lean body mass and skeletal muscle mass, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-02-03)
New sensor system improves detection of lead, heavy metals
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a new rapid, portable and inexpensive detection system that identifies personal exposures to toxic lead and other dangerous heavy metals. view more (2008-02-13)
A rare diagnosis in the operation room: Kidney atrophy due to duplicated colon in an adult
Gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are rare entities in an adult patient. Commonly they are located in the upper gastrointestinal system and present with intestinal symptoms such as bleeding, obstruction and/or perforation of the intestine. view more (2008-02-22)
