- Researchers 'look into' plant cells to increase ethanol yields
04-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Tiny pores within plant cells may hold promise for green fuels. Purdue University researchers have discovered that particles from cornstalks undergo previously unknown structural changes when processed to produce ethanol, an insight they said will help establish a viable method for large-scale production of ethanol from plant matter.

- Silencing small but mighty cancer inhibitors
12-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from Johns Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania have uncovered another reason why one of the most commonly activated proteins in cancer is in fact so dangerous. As reported in Nature Genetics this week, the Myc protein can stop the production of at least 13 microRNAs, small pieces of nucleic acid that help control which genes are turned on and off.

- Bungee-powered backpack can lighten your load, University of Pennsylvania researcher says
12-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
Penn researchers have announced details for a suspended-load ergonomic backpack that reduces the force of a backpack's load on the wearer by 86 percent, allowing wearers to run far more comfortably with heavy loads. The backpack was created with soldiers and emergency workers in mind and could prevent the sort of muscle and joint injuries associated with running while carrying heavy items.

- Northwestern chemists develop new method for synthesizing anti-cancer flavonoids
04-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
For years chemists have struggled to find a good way to make flavonoids -- the good-for-your-health compounds found in plants -- in the lab. Now a team of Northwestern University researchers has, for the first time, synthesized 10 different flavanones, a type of flavonoid, using a new general method they developed that takes advantage of one simple catalyst. This helps set the stage for the development of new cancer therapeutics based on flavanones with anti-cancer properties.
