Finding of a new molecular marker of resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer
A collaborative study between the IDIBAPS—Hospital Clínic of Barcelona and the Hospital del Mar de Barcelona permits to establish a predictive factor in the resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer and to establish possible therapeutic targets for the improvement of this treatment.   view more (2006-06-29)

Photo reveals rare okapi survived poaching onslaught
A set of stripy legs in a camera trap photo snapped in an African forest indicates something to cheer about, say researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Nuclear Medicine Approach Can Be First Choice for Excluding Pulmonary Embolism in Young Women
Young women at risk of having a pulmonary embolism-a potential life-threatening blockage in a lung artery-should first undergo a ventilation/perfusion lung scan (V/Q scan) rather than a CT (computed tomography) angiogram.   view more (2007-09-10)

Study details catastrophic impact of nuclear attack on U.S. cities
A new study by researchers at the Center for Mass Destruction Defense (CMADD) at the University of Georgia details the catastrophic impact a nuclear attack would have on American cities.   view more (2007-03-21)

Ceramic, heal thyself
A new computer simulation has revealed a self-healing behavior in a common ceramic that may lead to development of radiation-resistant materials for nuclear power plants and waste storage.   view more (2008-04-21)

Hotter than expected neutron star surfaces help explain superburst frequency
A new theoretical thermometer built from heavy-duty mathematics and computer code suggests that the surfaces of certain neutron stars run significantly hotter than previously expected. Hot enough, in fact, to at least partially answer an open question in astrophysics — how to explain the... view more (2007-04-16)

Research breakthrough pinpoints aim of ion beams fired at cancer tumors
Nonsurgical cancer therapy that destroys tumors but leaves healthy surrounding tissue intact could be available at every hospital if research reported this week in the journal Nature eventually comes to fruition.   view more (2006-01-26)

Heat therapy for cancer may be key to 'Lance Armstrong Effect'
Experts at Johns Hopkins have linked scientific evidence spanning more than 30 years to suggest an explanation for why testicular cancer patients like seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong survive far better than patients with other advanced cancers.   view more (2006-07-26)

PET Imaging Shows Young Smokers Quick Benefit of Quitting
The early stages of coronary artery disease in young smokers can be reversed quickly if they choose to put out their cigarettes for good, according to a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging study in the December Journal of Nuclear Medicine.   view more (2006-12-06)

Discredited Korean embryonic stem cells' true origins revealed
A report from researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute sheds new light on a now-discredited Korean embryonic stem cell line, setting the historical record straight and also establishing a much-needed set of standards for characterizing human embryonic stem cells.   view more (2007-08-03)

Americium Travels Along The Rivers
The Moscow radiochemists have developed and applied in practice new methods for analysis of transuranium elements in the environment objects. With the help of the most up-to-date techniques, they have investigated in detail the americium and plutonium migration paths in water and soils of some... view more (2004-05-28)
