Using waste to recover waste uranium
Using bacteria and inositol phosphate, a chemical analogue of a cheap waste material from plants, researchers at Birmingham University have recovered uranium from the polluted waters from uranium mines.   view more (2009-09-08)

Household cleaners effectively remove lead-laden dust
All-purpose detergents remove lead-contaminated dust from household surfaces just as effectively as high phosphate detergents and lead-specific cleaning products.   view more (2005-12-16)

Bioceramic orbital plate implant
Ceramic materials used for this purpose are known as bioceramics and their fields of application include orthopedic, odontosthomathology, ophthalmology, plastic and cosmetic surgery.   view more (2005-10-03)

New Method of Controlled Drug Release
Researchers in Oxford University's Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory have found that they can intercalate a range of pharmaceutically active molecules between the layers of a layered inorganic host. While working on the ion-exchange abilities of a family of inorganic materials known as Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs), researchers have recognised... view more... (2003-02-11)

Adding simehicone to sodium phosphate bowel preparation benefits colonscopy?
Bowel preparation has been reported inadequate in 10%-75% of colonoscopic examinations.   view more (2009-07-08)

Bronzes show promise for use as cathodes in lithium batteries
Phosphate tungsten bronzes have been tested as cathodes in electrochemical lithium insertion cells.   view more (2005-11-09)

Alzheimer's discovery could bring early diagnosis, treatment closer
A discovery made by researchers at McGill University and the affiliated Lady Davis Research Institute for Medical Research at Montreal's Jewish General Hospital offers new hope for the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2009-05-26)

Scientists discover that three molecules may be developed into new Alzheimer's drugs
A team of scientists has discovered three molecules -- from a search of 58,000 compounds -- that appear to inhibit a key perpetrator of Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2005-07-25)

Readily available treatment could help prevent heart disease in kidney patients
The estimated 19 million Americans living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) face a high risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have shown that a main source of this cardiovascular risk is CKD patients' high levels of blood phosphate.   view more (2008-04-18)

MU Researchers Make Discovery in Molecular Mechanics of Phototropism
In a paper published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, scientists at the University of Missouri-Columbia reported molecular-level discoveries about the mechanisms of phototropism, the directional growth of plants toward or away from light.    view more (2007-07-09)

Urine collected and purified separately
From an environmental and cost perspective, it is a good idea to collect and purify urine separately, rather than simply allowing it to flow into the sewer   view more (2006-06-23)

How does sodium phosphate combined with bisacodyl affect small intestine?
Capsule endoscopy is a well accepted tool for evaluation of small bowel pathologies (e.g., bleeding sources). However, it has some limitations due to restricted recording time and reduced visibility by air and residual material.   view more (2008-05-21)

FOSRENOL significantly reduces tablet burden for end-stage renal patients with hyperphosphatemia
According to data presented today at the National Kidney Foundation's (NKF) 2006 clinical meeting in Chicago, IL, a conversion to the non-calcium phosphate binder FOSRENOL (lanthanum carbonate) from other phosphate binder therapies provides continued mean serum phosphorus control for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with hyperphosphatemia,... view more...

Nontoxic nanoparticle can deliver and track drugs
A nontoxic nanoparticle developed by Penn State researchers is proving to be an all-around effective delivery system for both therapeutic drugs and the fluorescent dyes that can track their delivery.   view more (2008-11-19)

Waddenzee fresher than ever
The seawater in the Waddenzee is becoming fresher. More river water is reaching the Waddenzee via the outlet sluices of the IJsselmeer Dam. This is the conclusion of Dr Hendrik van Aken from the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. Along with the fresh water, more nitrate and phosphate are entering the Waddenzee. During the past 140 years the... view more... (2002-09-11)

SEX4, starch and phosphorylation
Energy from the sun and carbon dioxide fuel photosynthesis in plants and algae, making life on earth possible. Carbon that is fixed by plants is converted to starch and sucrose, which are utilized by plants for energy and to build biomass.   view more (2008-06-26)

Plague agent helps UT Southwestern researchers find novel signaling system in cells
The bacterium that causes bubonic plague would seem unlikely to help medical scientists, but researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have harnessed it to uncover a new regulatory mechanism that inhibits the immune system.   view more (2006-05-26)

Figuring out function from bacteria's bewildering forms
The constellation of shapes and sizes among bacteria is as remarkable as it is mysterious. Why should Spirochaeta halophila resemble a bedspring coil, Stella a star and Clostridium cocleatum a partly eaten donut? No one really knows.   view more (2006-07-19)

CSHL-led team identifies key decision-point at which cells with broken DNA repair themselves or die
When cells undergo potentially catastrophic damage, for example as a result of exposure to ionizing radiation, they must make a decision: either to fix the damage or program themselves for death, a process called apoptosis.   view more (2009-04-13)

Bone research that grows on you
Rapid and guided healing of bones has moved a step closer with research by two biomedical engineering students who have found new ways to deliver bone growth enhancers directly to broken or weakened bones.   view more (2006-11-01)
