Notre Dame researchers report progress on compound to treat neurological diseases
2011-10-10
Results of a study by a group of University of Notre Dame researchers represent a promising step on the road to developing new drugs for a variety of neurological diseases.
The group from the University's Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Biological Sciences and the Friemann Life Sciences Center focused on the design, synthesis and evaluation of water-soluble "gelatinase inhibitor" compounds.
Gelatinases, a class of enzymes, have been implicated in a host of human diseases from cancer to cardiovascular conditions and in particular neurological conditions ...
Physicists localize 3-D matter waves for first time
2011-10-10
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- University of Illinois physicists have experimentally demonstrated for the first time how three-dimensional conduction is affected by the defects that plague materials. Understanding these effects is important for many electronics applications.
Led by physics professor Brian DeMarco, the researchers achieved complete localization of quantum matter waves in three dimensions, first theorized roughly half a century ago. The group published its findings in the Oct. 7 issue of the journal Science.
Defects in materials are inevitable, but their effects ...

Social Security: Welfare for the Lazy or Dignity for the Disabled?
2011-10-10
You already know what we're going to say. We're Social Security Disability lawyers. Our clients, New Yorkers from the Finger Lakes region and elsewhere throughout the state, know who we are.
And not a single one of them is lazy.
Not a single one of them would call their disability benefits a welfare check.
Not a single one of them would consider what they have already earned to be an "entitlement."

Study shows how bookmarking genes pre-cell division hastens their subsequent reactivation
2011-10-10
Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. – In order for cells of different types to maintain their identities even after repeated rounds of cell division, each cell must "remember" which genes were active before division and pass along that memory to its daughter cells. Cells deal with this challenge by deploying a "bookmarking" process. In the same way a sticky note marks the last-read page in a book, certain molecules tag the active genes in a cell so that, after it divides, the same genes are reactivated right away in the new cells.
"What we didn't know, however, was how bookmarking ...
UK government claims that patient choice improves health care is based on flawed research, experts say
2011-10-10
Research which claims to show that the introduction of patient choice in the NHS reduced deaths from heart attacks is flawed and misleading, according to a report* published in The Lancet today (Monday).
The original study was used by the Government to advance its controversial Health and Social Care Bill 2011 and was the basis for the Prime Minister's statement that 'competition is one way we can make things work better for patients'.
In today's report, academics - led by Professor Allyson Pollock of Queen Mary, University of London - point out a series of errors in ...

Brain imaging reveals why we remain optimistic in the face of reality
2011-10-10
For some people, the glass is always half full. Even when a football fan's team has lost ten matches in a row, he might still be convinced his team can reverse its run of bad luck. So why, in the face of clear evidence to suggest to the contrary, do some people remain so optimistic about the future?
In a study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL (University College London) show that people who are very optimistic about the outcome of events tend to learn only from information that reinforces their rose-tinted ...
New membrane lipid measuring technique may help fight disease
2011-10-10
Could controlling cell-membrane fat play a key role in turning off disease?
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago think so, and a biosensor they've created that measures membrane lipid levels may open up new pathways to disease treatment.
Wonhwa Cho, distinguished professor of chemistry, and his coworkers engineered a way to modify proteins to fluoresce and act as sensors for lipid levels.
Their findings are reported in Nature Chemistry, online on Oct. 9.
"Lipid molecules on cell membranes can act as switches that turn on or off protein-protein interactions ...
Behind on Paying Your Tax Debt? Let Blue Tax Get Behind You to Find a Resolution
2011-10-10
Often, in this economy, it is easy to get behind. You know you owe taxes to the IRS, but every day bills and financial obligations begin to take priority in order to maintain a reasonable standard of living.
This is the situation Michael (Tecumseh, Kansas) found himself in when he called the offices of Blue Tax in desperation looking for some guidance on how to get the IRS to cease sending him threatening letters about levies and garnishments, knowing that he owed back taxes.
Michael's goal in retaining Blue Tax's services was to protect him from possible collection ...
