Novel nanocrystals with advanced optical properties developed for use as luminescent biomarkers
2011-11-15
Upconversion emission materials are ideal for bioimaging due to its effectiveness as contrast agents for the detection of cancer cells, more so when the background emission of non-cancerous tissues can be minimised. These materials could be used as biomarkers for luminescent labeling of cancerous cells. Opaque tissues can be turned into glassy, transparent substances by using these biomarkers which rely on near-infrared excitation.
The Singapore research team led by Associate Professor Xiaogang Liu and its co-researchers from Saudi Arabia and China succeeded in developing ...
New technique enables study of 'challenging' proteins
2011-11-15
Researchers from Hull, Bristol and Frankfurt have shown that a new technique for identifying molecular structure can be used effectively on small samples of biological proteins, particularly proteins that are targeted for drug development.
The technique, an enhanced form of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, could enable the structure of a protein to be identified within hours, rather than weeks or months, radically speeding up the process of drug discovery. The findings are published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Self-organized pituitary-like tissue from mouse ES cells
2011-11-15
November 14, 2011 – The possibility that functional, three-dimensional tissues and organs may be derived from pluripotent cells, such as embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), represents one of the grand challenges of stem cell research, but is also one of the fundamental goals of the emerging field of regenerative medicine. Developmental biology has played a central role in informing such efforts, as it has been shown that stem cell differentiation can be directed to follow a given lineage pathway by culturing stem cells in conditions that ...
Suggested link between radon and skin cancer
2011-11-15
A new study published this week suggests that a link may exist between radon exposure and non-melanoma skin cancer.
Researchers from the European Centre for Environment & Human Health (part of the Peninsula College of Medicine & Dentistry) have detected a connection following analysis of data on radon exposure and skin cancer cases from across southwest England. The study, which looked at small geographical areas across Devon and Cornwall, builds upon a similar study conducted 15 years ago.
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas found in soil and bedrock common ...

Prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants determines weight and size at birth
2011-11-15
University of Granada researchers have proven that infants born to women living in large cities are more likely to have higher weight at birth than those born to mothers living in rural areas. This is probably due to a higher exposure to xenoestrogens, a type of environmental pollutants that act like hormones. This is the first research study conducted in Spain establishing a correlation between estrogenic burden in pregnant women's placenta and a higher birth weight.
For the purpose of this study, the researchers examined two groups of pregnant women. The first group ...
Spaniards' capacity for analyzing audiovisual messages is very low
2011-11-15
This study, which is a global pioneer, was carried out with the main objective of measuring the media competence of citizens from age sixteen on. "This allowed us to see individuals' ability to use critical reflection to interpret and analyze the audiovisual images and messages, as well as to express themselves in a communicative situation", explains one of the study's authors, Alejandra Walzer, of UC3M's Department of Journalism and Audiovisual Communication. This study, titled 'Media competence. Research on the level of citizens' competence in Spain ('Competencia mediatica. ...
