- 'Junk' DNA now looks like powerful regulator, Stanford researcher finds
04-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Large swaths of garbled human DNA once dismissed as junk appear to contain some valuable sections, according to a new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of California-Santa Cruz. The scientists propose that this redeemed DNA plays a role in controlling when genes turn on and off.

- New Web-based system leads to better, more timely data
10-27-2006 · EurekAlert!
After two years of work, an innovative project using web-based technologies to speed researcher access to a large body of new scientific data has demonstrated that not only access to but also the quality of the data has improved markedly. The data-entry process for the web-enabled ThermoML thermodynamics global data exchange catches and corrects data errors in roughly ten percent of journal articles entered in the system.

- Sour taste make you pucker? It may be in your genes
07-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at the Monell Chemical Senses Center report that genes play a large role in determining individual differences in sour taste perception. The findings may help researchers identify the still-elusive taste receptor that detects sourness in foods and beverages, just as recent gene studies helped uncover receptors for sweet and bitter taste.

- Deficient regulators in the immune system responsible for type 1 diabetes
01-24-2008 · EurekAlert!
The reduction in the regulating capacity of some regulators of the immune system (called CD4+Treg cells,) seems to play a critical role in the onset of type 1 diabetes, as demonstrated in the latest study by Dr. Ciriaco Piccirillo, a researcher in the department of microbiology and immunology at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center and the principal investigator for this project. This study was published this month in the journal Diabetes.

- Mucins stand guard against gut infections
07-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
Mucins are large proteins that are secreted on the surface of the gut, and while long regarded as having a role as a barrier to mucosal infection, data to support this theory have been lacking. In a new JCI study researchers show that cell surface mucin 1 (Muc1) plays a critical role in protecting the mucosal lining of the gut from bacterial infection.

- Fascinating spider silk
04-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Spider silk would be an ideal material for a large variety of medical and technical applications, and researchers are thus interested in learning the spiders' secrets and imitating their technique. A team lead by Thomas Scheibel at the Technical University of Munich report in the journal Angewandte Chemie that the interaction between hydrophilic and lipophilic properties of the silk proteins plays an important role in the spinning process.

- ASU researcher finds belief about neighbor's conservation is stealthily influential
02-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you? Probably not, but according to a study by Arizona State University researchers, peer influence plays a greater role in people's behavior than is generally acknowledged. The study, which is being presented by ASU Regents' Professor of Psychology Robert Cialdini on Feb. 18 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, suggests that peer influence is an under-recognized factor in energy conservation.
