Step on the gas -- New fuel cell design adds control, reduces complexity
01-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
When Princeton University engineers want to increase the power output of their new fuel cell, they just give it a little more gas -- hydrogen gas, to be exact. This simple control mechanism, which varies the flow of hydrogen fuel to control the power generated, was previously thought impossible and is a potentially major development in fuel cell technology.

A boost for hydrogen fuel cell research
01-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
The development of hydrogen fuel cells for vehicles, the ultimate green dream in transportation energy, is another step closer. Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) have identified a new variation of a familiar platinum-nickel alloy that is far and away the most active oxygen-reducing catalyst ever reported.

Loss of stem cells correlates with premature aging in animal study
06-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute of the University of Pennsylvania have found that deleting a gene important in embryo development leads to premature aging and loss of stem cell reservoirs in adult mice. This gene, ATR, is essential for the body's response to damaged DNA, and mutations in proteins in the DNA damage response underlie certain types of cancer and other disorders in humans.

Targeting key proteins of carcinogenesis
06-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
The cell labels the proteins it wants to dispose with Ubiquitin (Ub). Malfunctions in the ubiquitin-proteasome system can be fatal for the organism, resulting in cancer and immunological disorders. The knowledge about the ubiquitination reaction has led to the development of highly promising drugs. Biochemists at the University of Frankfurt now describe a novel Ub conjugation reaction that might allow a more efficient manipulation of key proteins in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

A study by the MUHC and McGill University opens a new door to understanding cancer
08-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
An in-depth understanding of the mechanisms that trigger cancer cell growth is vital to the development of more targeted treatments for the disease. An article published in the Aug. 3 issue of Molecular Cell provides a key to these mechanisms that may prove crucial in the future. The paper is co-authored by Dr. Morag Park, director of the MUHC Molecular Oncology Group, and Dr. Kalle Gehring, head of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory of the McGill University biochemistry department.

Team of scientists develops non-invasive method to track nerve-cell development in live human brain
11-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of scientists including researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have identified and validated the first biomarker that permits neural stem and progenitor cells to be tracked, non-invasively, in the brains of living human subjects. This important advance could lead to significantly better diagnosis and monitoring of brain tumors and a range of serious neurological and psychiatric disorders.
