1. Newly discovered active fault building new Dalmatian Islands off Croatian coast
   01-22-2008 · EurekAlert!
   A newly identified fault that runs under the Adriatic Sea is actively building more of the famously beautiful Dalmatian Islands and Dinaride Mountains of Croatia, according to a new research report. Geologists had previously believed that the Dalmatian Islands and the Dinaride Mountains had stopped growing 20 to 30 million years ago. The Croatian coast is an increasing popular tourist destination. Dubrovnik, known as "the Pearl of the Adriatic," is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage site.

4. Newly found sensing system enables certain bacteria to resist human immune defenses
   06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a component of the National Institutes of Health, have discovered a survival mechanism in a common type of bacteria that can cause illness. The mechanism lets the bacteria protect itself by warding off attacks from antimicrobial peptides, which are defense molecules sent by the body to kill bacteria.

5. Newly discovered virus linked to deadly skin cancer
   01-17-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Painstaking screening of DNA sequencing data has revealed a previously unknown virus that appears to be strongly associated with a rare but deadly skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute report in this week's issue of the journal Science. In the paper, the researchers, who found the cause of Kaposi's sarcoma, also describe a nearly decade-long effort to harness the sequencing technology to identify Merkel cell polyomavirus.

   07-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A role for prion proteins, the much debated agents of mad cow disease and vCJD, has been identified. It appears that the normal prions produced by the body help to prevent the plaques that build up in the brain to cause Alzheimer’s disease. The possible function for the mysterious proteins was discovered by a team of scientists led by Medical Research Council funded scientist Professor Nigel Hooper of the University of Leeds.

10. UCSD researchers discover inflammation, not obesity, cause of insulin resistance
    11-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that inflammation provoked by immune cells called macrophages leads to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Their discovery may pave the way to novel drug development to fight the epidemic of type 2 diabetes associated with obesity, the most prevalent metabolic disease worldwide.
