- Scientists want to solve puzzle of excess water vapor near cirrus clouds
11-30-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers in recent years have found water vapor at concentrations as much as twice what they should be in and around cirrus clouds high in the atmosphere, a finding that could alter some conclusions about climate change. A group of European and US scientists is advocating a broad research effort to solve the puzzle.

- Immune cell communication key to hunting viruses, Jefferson immunologists show
10-25-2006 · EurekAlert!
Immunologists have used nanotechnology to create a novel "biosensor" to solve in part a perplexing problem in immunology: how the immune system's killer T-cells hunt down invading viruses. They have found that surprisingly little virus can turn on killer T-cells, thanks to some complicated communication among "antigen presenting" proteins that recognize and attach to the virus, making it visible to the immune system. Presenting proteins cooperate, spreading a signal among receptors and boosting T-cell response.

- Lower transmission increases dengue deaths
02-04-2008 · EurekAlert!
A pair of researchers has answered a puzzle about why efforts to lower the transmission of dengue virus in Thailand have actually increased the severe, life-threatening, form of the infection. Lower transmission rates lead to increased risk of severe infection because of an immune system response.

- NIH funds innovative alzheimer’s research initiated at UCSB
02-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
A completely new approach to the study of Alzheimer’s disease, initiated by a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, may solve a critical piece in the puzzle of the disease. This tragic neurological illness progressively erases memory in its millions of victims. The key to the new approach is understanding the way certain proteins in the brain fold, or rather “misfold.”

- Extreme environment biology research may help solve lignocellulosic ethanol puzzle
06-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Beneath a sulfurous cauldron in European seas lies a class of microorganisms known as extremophiles. These organisms and their associated enzymes could somehow unlock the key to a new transportation economy based on a renewable biofuel, lignocellulosic ethanol. That's the concept behind a research program at Sandia National Laboratories.
