5. Therapeutic peptide frees the protein p73 to kill tumor cells
   03-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
   p53 suppresses tumor development by inducing tumor cell death. However, targeting p53 for the treatment of cancer is confounded by the fact that genetic mutations cause loss or inactivation of p53 in approximately 50 percent of human cancers. Now, a new study indicates that targeting the p53-related protein p73 in mice induces the regression of established tumors of human origin, leading to the suggestion that p73 might be a viable target for developing anticancer therapeutics.

   08-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Hydrogen may prove to be the fuel of the future in powering the efficient, eco-friendly fuel cell vehicles of tomorrow. Developing a method to safely store, dispense and easily "refuel" the vehicle's storage material with hydrogen has baffled researchers for years. However, a new and attractive storage medium being developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists may provide the"power of pellets" to fuel future transportation needs.

   10-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists at UCL have developed a more reliable test for detecting vision loss in people with age-related macular disease, the leading cause of blindness in the UK and US. The method, which centers on a visual illusion, could lead to earlier self-diagnosis of sight deterioration -- encouraging patients to access medical assistance earlier on and potentially delay loss of vision.
