- University of Alberta researchers report breakthrough in lowering bad cholesterol, fatty acid levels
01-09-2008 · EurekAlert!
Medical researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada have found a way to reduce the amount of bad cholesterol and fatty acids that end up in the blood from food the body metabolizes, a key discovery that could lead to new drugs to treat and reverse the effects of diabetes and heart disease related to obesity. Existing drugs called statins are used to lower cholesterol, but do not treat obesity or diabetes.

- Enzyme may hold key to new treatment of diabetic kidney disease
11-07-2006 · EurekAlert!
Northwestern University researchers have found an enzyme, called "ACE2," may hold the potential to treat diabetic kidney disease, the most common form of kidney disease.The researchers have found low levels of the ACE2 enzyme in kidneys of diabetic mice. When ACE2 was further decreased with an inhibitor drug, kidney disease worsened. Studies are now needed using compounds that increase the level of ACE2 in the kidneys of diabetic mice to see if it reverses or prevents kidney disease.

- PSA doubling predicts prostate cancer recurrence
04-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
A detectable level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the first indicator of recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. In a new Mayo Clinic study, the concept of PSA doubling time is found to be a reliable tool to distinguish which patients have prolonged innocuous PSA levels after therapy from those who are at great risk for disease recurrence and death from prostate cancer. Doubling time is defined as the duration for PSA levels in the blood to increase by 100 percent.

- Protein may be linked to melanoma recurrence
06-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Higher levels of a protein called S-100 in melanoma patients may correlate with a higher risk of the disease returning, say researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. The study tested serum samples from 103 patients treated with high-dose interferon an average of eight years prior. When the researchers examined levels of S-100 in the samples, they found that the higher the level of the protein, the greater likelihood the disease had returned.

- In diatom, scientists find genes that may level engineering hurdle
01-21-2008 · EurekAlert!
Denizens of oceans, lakes and even wet soil, diatoms are unicellular algae that encase themselves in intricately patterned, glass-like shells. Curiously, these tiny phytoplankton could be harboring the next big breakthrough in computer chips.

- Benefits of more homework vary across nations, grades
02-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
A study of global homework patterns suggests that the benefits of more homework assignments to boost student test scores may vary widely according to the grade level, the quality of a nation's schools and the perceived value of homework. Therefore, researchers caution that government and education policymakers need to consider the appropriate grade levels and related impact before trying to create overall homework policies for schools.

- 'Dead time' limits quantum cryptography speeds
09-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
According to a new paper by researchers at NIST and the Joint Quantum Institute, technological and security issues will stall maximum transmission rates at levels comparable to that of a single broadband connection, such as a cable modem, unless researchers reduce 'dead times' in the detectors that receive quantum-encrypted messages.
