- Einstein researchers discover how a key dietary vitamin is absorbed
11-30-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have found the mechanism by which the B vitamin folate -- a crucially important nutrient -- is absorbed by the intestinal tract. Their findings solve a longstanding mystery as to how folates in the diet are absorbed and pave the way for a genetic test that can save the lives of infants who lack the ability to absorb folate.

- Using fMRI to study brain development
11-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Using fMRI to study early brain development requires learning more about the fMRI signal in the developing brain. MIT neuroscientists studying rats found the signal changes during first few weeks of life in relation to actual brain activity. Correcting for those changes, the researchers could monitor the development of the rat brain. The findings also identified a key player in the age-related changes in neurovascular coupling that gives rise to the BOLD signal.

- Scientists zero in on the cellular machinery that enables neurons to fire
11-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
If you ever had a set of Micronauts -- toy robots with removable body parts -- you probably had fun swapping their heads, imagining how it would affect their behavior. Scientists supported by the National Institutes of Health have been performing similar experiments on ion channels -- pores in our nerve cells -- to sort out the channels' key functional parts.

- Proposed FDA claim recognizes role of key nutrients in dairy in reducing osteoporosis risk
01-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
The Food and Drug Administration has proposed an amended health claim that would communicate to consumers the value of foods high in calcium and vitamin D for reducing the risk of osteoporosis. The National Dairy Council (NDC) acknowledges and supports the body of scientific evidence that backs the proposed claim, which indicates that a lifestyle that includes a well-balanced diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, and physical activity, helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
