- Biomarkers predict risk for invasive breast cancer years before the tumor develops
11-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of scientists from the University of California San Francisco has identified distinct molecular markers that predict whether or not a woman is likely to develop subsequent invasive cancer after initial diagnosis with a noninvasive form of early breast cancer. The research, published by Cell Press in the November issue of Cancer Cell, provides critical information that can be used to determine whether a woman should receive more or less aggressive therapy.

- The bee that would be queen
06-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of researchers from Arizona State University, Purdue University and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences has discovered evidence that honeybees have adopted a phylogenetically old molecular cascade -- TOR (target of rapamycin), linked to nutrient and energy sensing -- and put it to use in caste development. They found that queen-fate can be blocked, and that workers develop, when TOR activity is reduced during development.

- UW-Madison engineers develop higher-energy liquid-transportation fuel from sugar
06-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Reporting in the June 21 issue of the journal Nature, University of Wisconsin-Madison chemical and biological engineering Professor James Dumesic and his research team describe a two-stage process for turning biomass-derived sugar into 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), a liquid transportation fuel with 40 percent greater energy density than ethanol.

- Learning how nature splits water
11-03-2006 · EurekAlert!
An international team led by scientists from the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) pieced together high-resolution (approximately 0.15 Ångstrom) structures of a Mn4Ca cluster found in a photosynthetic protein complex. Their work could help researchers synthesize molecules that mimic this catalyst, which is a central focus in the push to develop clean energy technologies that rely on sunlight to split water and form hydrogen to feed fuel cells or other non-polluting power sources.

- UF scientists reveal how dietary restriction cleans cells
08-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Cutting calories helps rodents live longer by boosting cells' ability to recycle damaged parts so they can maintain efficient energy production, according to a University of Florida Institute on Aging study. Understanding how the process works at the cellular level in rodents could help scientists develop drugs that mimic the process in humans.

- Breaking the Barrier Toward Nanometer X-ray Resolution
09-28-2007 · Brookhaven National Laboratory
A team of researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have overcome a major obstacle for using refractive lenses to focus x-rays. This method will allow the efficient focusing of x-rays down to extremely small spots and is an important breakthrough in the development of a new, world-leading light source facility that promises advances in nanoscience, energy, biology, and materials research.

- Interfering with vagal nerve activity in mice prevents diabetes and hypertension
02-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Interrupting nerve signals to the liver can prevent diabetes and hypertension in mice, according to scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The finding is reported in the February issue of the journal Cell Metabolism. The research team surgically removed the vagus nerve in mice and found the procedure prevented or reversed the development of insulin resistance and high blood pressure in mice primed to develop these disorders through treatment with glucocorticoids.

- 2 MSU professors spearhead international water project
06-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
Two MSU professors are leading an international partnership of environmental engineers and scientists from four research universities, including U.S., to purify the world’s waters. With the biggest funding of its kind -- a $2.5 million grant -- by the National Science Foundation, the team leaders are bringing together domestic and international expertise, as well as investing in students, to develop water purifying strategies using what are called “membrane-based” technologies.

- MIT develops 'tractor beam' for cells, more
10-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
In a feat that seems like something out of a microscopic version of Star Trek, MIT researchers have found a way to use a "tractor beam" of light to pick up, hold and move around individual cells and other objects on the surface of a microchip.
