- New developments in 'artificial photosynthesis'
03-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory are trying to design catalysts inspired by photosynthesis, the process by which green plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates. The goal is to design a system that can produce methanol, methane, and hydrogen directly from water and carbon dioxide using renewable solar energy. Four Brookhaven chemists will discuss their research on this "artificial photosynthesis" at the 233rd National Meeting of the American Chemical Society.

- Two studies: Speeding development of novel tracer for prostate cancer
01-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
The collaborative work being performed by professionals across medical disciplines in the promising area of molecular imaging -- from research scientists to nuclear medicine physicians, urologists, radiochemists and even veterinarians -- provides encouraging news in fighting prostate cancer. This type of progressive -- or translational -- research can be seen in two papers published in the January issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

- Clues to future evolution of HIV come from African green monkeys
07-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Monkey viruses related to HIV may have swept across Africa more recently than previously thought, according to research from the University of Arizona in Tucson. A new family tree for African green monkeys shows that simian immunodeficiency virus first infected those monkeys after the lineage split into four species. The new research reveals the split happened about 3 million years ago. Scientists had thought SIV infected an ancestor of green monkeys before the speciation event.

- Drought limits tropical plant distributions, scientists at the Smithsonian report
05-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Drought tolerance is a critical determinant of tropical plant distributions, researchers working at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama report in the journal Nature, May 3. In a novel coupling of experimental measurements and observed plant distributions across a tropical landscape, drought tolerance predicted plant distributions at both local and regional scales. This mechanism to explain a common observation will contribute significantly to models of land use and climate change.

- Children's Hospital Oakland, Calif.'s new iron regulation discovery
12-21-2006 · EurekAlert!
A new study co-authored by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, Ph.D., is the first to show that partial copies of DNA called mRNA (or messenger RNA) morph into specific three dimensional shapes when it combines with a protein regulator called IRP1. This discovery is incredibly important to researchers who design medications based on the specific characteristics of a disease.
