- Biorefining of corn brings gelatin production into the 21st century
08-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists are reporting an advance toward turning corn plants into natural factories for producing gelatin to replace animal-sourced gelatin widely used by the pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing capsules and tablets. The advance may lead to a safe, inexpensive source of this protein for manufacturers who now rely on material obtained as a byproduct of meat production. The study will be reported in August at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Boston.

- UCLA, Italian chemists move closer to solving Lou Gehrig's disease mystery
06-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Chemists from UCLA and the University of Florence in Italy may have solved an important mystery about a protein that plays a key role in a particular form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. If scientists can figure out why ALS patients do not have copper or zinc in the protein, that would be a major advance that could lead to treatment.
