- 'Juiced-up' battery fueled by sugar could power small portable electronics
03-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Juicing up your cell phone or iPod may take on a whole new meaning in the future. Researchers at Saint Louis University in Missouri have developed a fuel cell that runs on virtually any sugar source -- including soft drinks -- and has the potential to operate three to four times longer on a single charge than conventional batteries, they say. The research will be presented in March at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Chicago.

- Protein power: Researchers trigger insulin production in diabetic mice
01-08-2008 · EurekAlert!
University of Florida researchers have coaxed liver and pancreatic cells within diabetic mice into churning out insulin by injecting the animals with a naturally occurring protein called Pdx1, opening up a new research avenue that someday could lead to safer treatments for type 1 diabetes. Pdx1 activates the genes controlling the development of the pancreas cells that make and release insulin to maintain safe levels of glucose in the body.
