Case researchers may have solved
06-20-2007 · EurekAlert!"Nothing there," is what Case Western Reserve University physicists concluded about black holes after spending a year working on complex formulas to calculate the formation of new black holes. In nearly 13 printed pages with a host of calculations, the research may solve the information loss paradox that has perplexed physicists for the past 40 years.

- Elderly more likely to deny smoking when asked, says Case Western Reserve University researcher
02-07-2008 · EurekAlert!
More elderly adults are lighting up cigarettes and not reporting their nicotine habits to doctors and others, according to findings from one of the first studies to examine the accuracy of self-reported smoking habits by age, race and gender of adults 18 years and older. Researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine and other collaborators found a combined total of 8 percent of people from all age and race groups studied were true smokers but had denied it.

- Jefferson researchers develop combined procedure for uterine preservation in treating fibroids
12-05-2006 · EurekAlert!
Although fibroids can cause pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding and infertility, women of childbearing age often choose to forego treatment because the options don't guarantee fertility.In the December issue of The Female Patient, physicians at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia present a case history of a 35-year-old woman whose numerous fibroids formed a large mass in her pelvic area that, when initially diagnosed, was of a size comparable to a full-term pregnancy.

- Inflammation may cause preterm labor and fetal deaths
08-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
Inflammation from bacterial infections is linked to preterm births and deaths, according to researchers from Case Western Reserve University's School of Dental Medicine and the Case School of Medicine. They found if receptors responding to the presence of dead or living bacteria in the placentas of mice can be blocked, the number of preterm deaths will decline by nearly half.

- Case researcher in RNA biology makes waves by challenging current thinking
01-18-2008 · EurekAlert!
In the Jan. 18 issue of Molecular Cell, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researcher Kristian E. Baker, Ph.D. challenges molecular biology's established body of evidence and widely-accepted model for nonsense-mediated messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) decay. With her collaborator, Ambro van Hoof, Ph.D. of the University of Texas Health Sciences Center, Baker directly tested the "faux 3' UTR" model and proved it could not explain how cells recognize and destroy deviant mRNA.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are putting a different kind of "foursome" together in hopes of someday developing smart materials called biomimetics that mimic nature. Amy Shen, Ph.D., assistant professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and her Washington University colleague William F. Pickard, Ph.D., senior professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering, are collaborating with a researcher at Washington State University, and one at Indiana University/Purdue University on understanding a plant protein called forisome.

- OHSU Cancer Institute researcher discovers what fuels certain cancer mutation
12-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
An Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researcher has discovered that a particular hormone is responsible for driving a cancer enzyme to cause an often deadly red blood cell cancer. Researchers working with the cancer mutation in the JAK2 enzyme have found that the enzyme is dependent on the hormone TNF-alpha to grow and cause a red blood cell cancer called polycythemia vera, said principal investigator Thomas Bumm, M.D., Ph.D., OHSU Cancer Institute member.
