1. Model connects circuit theory to wildlife corridors
   12-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists at Northern Arizona University and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis have developed a model that uses circuit theory to predict gene flow across landscapes. Their approach could give managers a better way to identify the best spots for wildlife corridors, which are crucial to protecting biodiversity.

3. Research reveals limitations of seismic data for mapping rock units in young oceanic crust
   01-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers report in Nature that an approach used for years to understand the structure of Earth's oceanic crust is flawed and geoscientists will have to reconsider the correspondence between seismic data and rock units when mapping formations of young oceanic crust. The new finding alters the view of how new crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, how heat and chemicals flow through oceanic crust and how life can exist in deep below the seafloor.

4. Gene Signatures Match Cancer And Other Diseases With Potentially Effective Drugs
   09-29-2006 · ScienceDaily
   In one of the most ambitious spinoffs of the human genome project, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Children's Hospital Boston, the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and other collaborating centers have unveiled a new, systematic approach to drug discovery that matches diseases with potential treatments using a universal language based on cells' distinctive gene activity profiles, or "signatures."

5. New study warns against linking ethnic identity to breast cancer genes
   10-26-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Genetic research over the past decade has linked Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity to an increased risk for hereditary breast cancer, so much so that certain gene mutations have become known as "Jewish ancestral mutations." But a new study released in the November issue of The American Journal of Public Health challenges this approach, warning that disparities in access to care and other unintended consequences can, and have, resulted.

6. Photo favourite: ATV rendezvous simulation
   11-13-2006 · European Space Agency (ESA)
   A choice from our ESA photo galleries
   
   Tests conducted at Val de Reuil, France, to simulate the rendezvous of the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) with the International Space Station (ISS). Sensors mounted on an articulated industrial robotic arm (image) acted as the ATV, whilst a 120-tonne mobile platform represented the ISS. During simulations the platform was made to approach the robotic arm in a motion identical to the one expected when the real vehicles rendezvous in space next year.

7. Infectious disease researchers develop basis for experimental melanoma treatment
   12-07-2006 · EurekAlert!
   While investigating a fungus known to cause an infection in people with AIDS, two grantees of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, unexpectedly discovered a potential strategy for treating metastatic melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer. The treatment approach, which involves combining an antibody with radiation, has since been further developed and is expected to enter early-stage human clinical studies in 2007.

8. Lessons from Vioxx case -- New approach needed to restore faith in pharmaceutical industry
   01-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The pharmaceutical industry, academia and government agencies need to work together to restore faith in drug development, say doctors in this weeks' BMJ. They argue that the recent litigation over the drug Vioxx, produced by Merck and Co. Inc., has highlighted the failings of the current system, which can be open to abuse.

9. Navigable nanotransport
   02-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   To accurately transport pharmaceutical agents to their specific target organs or cell types, you need a good carrier: Nanoscopic capsules with surface elements that can "recognize" the target in question could do the trick. Korean researchers led by Kimoon Kim have developed a very simple novel approach for the direct production of polymeric nanocapsules, they write in Angewandte Chemie.
