Unexpected link between gene in liver and iron overload
A new study in the December Cell Metabolism reveals an unexpected connection between a tumor suppressor gene in the liver and the normally careful control over the amount of iron absorbed from the diet. view more (2005-12-07)
Genomics researchers discover protein deficit that causes drug toxicity
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered an inherited structural mechanism that can make drugs for some diseases toxic for some patients. The mechanism decreases a protein and in turn causes certain individuals to metabolize thiopurine drugs differently. view more (2005-07-11)
Marshall research shows safe dosages of common pain reliever may help prevent muscle loss and other conditions related to aging
Recent studies conducted by Dr. Eric Blough and his colleagues at Marshall University have shown that use of the common pain reliever acetaminophen may help prevent age-associated muscle loss and other conditions. view more (2009-09-24)
Sleep may be factor in weight control
Could sleep be a critical component to maintaining a healthy body weight? view more (2009-05-18)
What makes life go at the tropics?
What causes tropical life to thrive: temperature, or sunlight? The answer is not necessarily "both." According to a study published online this week in PNAS Early Edition, the explosion of species at the tropics has much more to do with warmth than with light. view more (2008-05-28)
Study Shows Some Athletic Men May Risk Low Bone Density
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis affects more than 2 million men in the United States and nearly 12 million more have osteopenia-clinically significant low bone density that is less severe than osteoporosis. Now, a new study from the University of Missouri-Columbia has found that men engaging predominantly in... view more... (2007-10-17)
Metabolic syndrome heightens risk for development
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that patients suffering from the metabolic syndrome - a cluster of conditions that increases the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes - also have a propensity to develop highly acidic urine, which increases the risk of developing kidney stones. view more (2007-09-14)
Disabling enzyme allows mice to gorge without becoming obese, new study finds
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have identified a new enzyme that plays a far more important role than expected in controlling the breakdown of fat. view more (2009-01-12)
Common diabetes drug may 'revolutionize' cancer therapies
Researchers at McGill University and the University of Pennsylvania have discovered that a widely used anti-diabetic drug can boost the immune system and increase the potency of vaccines and cancer treatments. view more (2009-06-04)
New studies on goat milk show it is more beneficial to health than cow milk
Research carried out at the Department of Physiology of the University of Granada has revealed that goat milk has more beneficial properties to health than cow milk. Among these properties it helps to prevent ferropenic anaemia (iron deficiency) and bone demineralisation (softening of the bones). view more (2007-07-31)
Bacteria with a built-in thermometer
Researchers in the "Molecular Infection Biology group" at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig and the Braunschweig Technical University could now demonstrate for the first time that bacteria of the Yersinia genus possess a unique protein thermometer - the protein RovA - which assists them in the infection... view more...

Discovery of new gene associated with diabetes risk suggests link with body clock
A connection between the body clock and abnormalities in metabolism and diabetes has been suggested in new research by an international team involving the University of Oxford, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the MRC Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge. view more (2008-12-08)
Protein that regulates aging may provide key to new diabetes therapies
Opening the possibility of new therapies for type 2 diabetes, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that a protein called Sirt1 enhances the secretion of insulin in mice and allows them to better control blood glucose levels. view more (2005-08-19)
Hibernation-like behavior in Antarctic fish -- on ice for winter
Scientists have discovered an Antarctic fish species that adopts a winter survival strategy similar to hibernation. Reporting this week in the journal PLoS ONE, the online journal from the Public Library of Science, scientists from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the University of Birmingham reveal, for the first time, that the Antarctic 'cod'... view more...

Taking evolution's temperature: Researchers pinpoint the energy it takes to make a species
Writing this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists say higher temperatures near the equator speed up the metabolisms of the inhabitants, fueling genetic changes that actually lead to the creation of new species. view more (2006-06-01)
Yeast gives rise to new concept: cell fuel is 'brains' behind division
With the cost of diesel and gasoline getting nearer to the hourly minimum wage, too bad the fuel doesn't do more work - like deciding what route to take and pressing the gas pedal. view more (2008-04-28)
Experts lay to rest long-held misconceptions about high fructose corn syrup at ILSI-USDA workshop
A supplement to be published in the June issue of the Journal of Nutrition encourages the scientific community and the general public to stop demonizing high fructose corn syrup as the culprit of obesity and to rethink the myths about high fructose corn syrup's impact on the American diet. view more (2009-04-27)
The food-energy cellular connection revealed
Our body's activity levels fall and rise to the beat of our internal drums-the 24-hour cycles that govern fundamental physiological functions, from sleeping and feeding patterns to the energy available to our cells. view more (2009-10-16)
Scientists Unlock Possible Aging Secret in Genetically Altered Fruit Fly
Brown University researchers have identified a cellular mechanism that could someday help fight the aging process. view more (2009-01-23)
An Individualized Approach to Breast Cancer Treatment
Not all breast cancers are the same, and not all will have fatal consequences. But because clinicians find it difficult to accurately determine which tumors will metastasize, many patients do not receive the therapy fits their disease. view more (2009-01-27)
