Many breast cancer patients take high doses of antioxidants despite possible consequences
A new study finds that many women with breast cancer take antioxidant supplements while undergoing cancer treatment, even though the consequences of doing so are unknown. view more (2009-06-09)
Transition Metal Selenites (Mn, Co, Ni, Fe, Cu, Zn and Cd)
The work involved a multidisciplinary task, undertaking the study of phases of mineralogical and physico-chemical interest. Selenites were synthesised, given that they are a new field and likely to present original physical properties. view more (2005-09-30)
Injection may prevent infertility in men receiving cancer chemotherapy
It may be possible to protect the testes of cancer patients against the loss of fertility caused by chemotherapy, a scientist told the 22nd annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Prague, Czech Republic. view more (2006-06-21)

Plastic surgeons warn of malnutrition in body contouring patients
Identifying malnutrition before surgery in massive weight loss patients seeking body contouring will significantly decrease surgical complications, accelerate wound healing, improve scar quality and boost patient energy levels, according to a study in the December issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. view more (2008-11-13)
Microwave synthesis connects with the (quantum) dots
Materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a simplified, low-cost process for producing high-quality, water-soluble "quantum dots" for biological research. view more (2008-06-13)
Nanometric butterfly wings created
A team of researchers from the State University of Pennsylvania (USA) and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) have developed a technique to replicate biological structures, such as butterfly wings, on a nano scale. The resulting biomaterial could be used to make optically active structures, such as optical diffusers for solar panels. view more (2009-10-09)
Dietary modifications may not benefit cancer patients
One study, a meta-analysis of 59 trials, found little evidence that diet is associated with survival or prognosis. The other study suggests that neither use of garlic nor vitamin supplements delays the progression of precancerous gastric lesions to cancer. view more (2006-07-19)
Recent advances at Institute of Food Research
The latest issue of Institute of Food Research (IFR) News (Issue 2.00) describes some of our most recent publications. Understanding Evolution: Ian Roberts and Steve James, with colleagues from the Universities of Manchester and Oxford, are trying to understand how chromosomes evolve. Their research, published in Nature, has shown that... view more... (2000-07-12)
Ways to improve informed consent are testable, study says
New ways to make sure people are adequately informed about the risks and benefits of taking part in a clinical trial can be field-tested for effectiveness as vigorously as new medical treatments themselves, a study led by a Johns Hopkins bioethicist suggests. view more (2008-01-14)
