Reclaiming the land after a forest fire
2011-12-23
Wildfires cause tragic losses to life, property, and the environment. But even after the fire rages, the damage is far from done. Without vegetation, bare, burnt soil lies vulnerable to erosion, which can impede efforts towards natural forest regeneration.
Now Assaf Inbar, a graduate student at Tel Aviv University's Porter School of Environmental Studies, together with his supervisors Prof. Marcelo Sternberg of the Department of Molecular Biology and Ecology of Plants, Dr.Meni Ben-Hur of the Volcani Center and Dr. Marcos Lado of the University of La Coruña, Spain, have ...
Mayo Clinic discovery selected for Science's Top 10 Achievements of 2011
2011-12-23
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- The editors of the journal Science have selected a Mayo Clinic discovery as one of their top 10 "groundbreaking scientific achievements of 2011." The Mayo study --the first to eliminate the effects of aging in mice -- received worldwide attention when it was published in Nature in November. Science's international list of achievements featuring scientific breakthroughs ranging from biology to aerospace research was released Thursday afternoon.
The study showed that the onset of age-related disorders and disabilities could be delayed or prevented by ...
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists Leave Accident Victims Few Options
2011-12-23
In every state but New Hampshire, drivers are required by law to carry liability insurance or some other proof of financial responsibility. This coverage ensures that those injured in motor vehicle accidents have resources available to compensate them for medical bills, wages lost due to an inability to work and other losses arising out of a crash.
Adequate insurance coverage also protects those who carry it, even if they are not injured: drivers who cause an accident but lack coverage must pay out of pocket to compensate victims. Yet, according to an Insurance Research ...
Drugs used to overcome cancer may also combat antibiotic resistance: McMaster researchers
2011-12-23
Hamilton, ON (Dec. 22, 2011) - Drugs used to overcome cancer may also combat antibiotic resistance, finds a new study led by Gerry Wright, scientific director of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research at McMaster University.
"Our study found that certain proteins, called kinases, that confer antibiotic resistance are structurally related to proteins important in cancer," says Wright about the study published in Chemistry & Biology.
"The pharmaceutical sector has made a big investment in targeting these proteins, so there are a lot of compounds ...
Previously unconnected molecular networks conspire to promote cancer
2011-12-23
HOUSTON — An inflammation-promoting protein triggers deactivation of a tumor-suppressor that usually blocks cancer formation via the NOTCH signaling pathway, a team of researchers led by scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reports today in Molecular Cell.
Working in liver cancer cell lines, the team discovered a mechanism by which tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) stimulates tumor formation, said senior author Mien-Chie Hung, Ph.D., professor and chair of MD Anderson's Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology. Hung also is MD Anderson's ...
HIV study named 2011 breakthrough of the year by Science
2011-12-23
The journal Science has chosen the HPTN 052 clinical trial (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/news/newsreleases/2011/Pages/HPTN052.aspx), an international HIV prevention trial sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, as the 2011 Breakthrough of the Year. The study found that if HIV-infected heterosexual individuals begin taking antiretroviral medicines when their immune systems are relatively healthy as opposed to delaying therapy until the disease has advanced, they are 96 percent less likely to transmit ...
Enzyme that flips switch on cells' sugar cravings could be anti-cancer target
2011-12-23
Cancer cells tend to take up more glucose than healthy cells, and researchers are increasingly interested in exploiting this tendency with drugs that target cancer cells' altered metabolism.
Cancer cells' sugar cravings arise partly because they turn off their mitochondria, power sources that burn glucose efficiently, in favor of a more inefficient mode of using glucose. They benefit because the byproducts can be used as building blocks for fast-growing cells.
Scientists at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University have shown that many types of cancer cells flip ...
Project Educates Mothers to Avoid Unnecessary C-Sections
2011-12-23
Michigan hospitals are becoming the first of their kind in implementing a project that aims to avoid unnecessary C-sections. A lower rate of C-section deliveries is associated with healthier babies and a lower risk of a birth injury.
The Michigan Health and Hospital Association Keystone obstetrics project implements changes to hospitals in Michigan in their birthing procedures. The project discourages elective or C-section births unless it is for medically necessary reasons such as chronic disease, a mother carrying multiple babies or the baby is small and developing ...
New technique makes it easier to etch semiconductors
2011-12-23
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Creating semiconductor structures for high-end optoelectronic devices just got easier, thanks to University of Illinois researchers.
The team developed a method to chemically etch patterned arrays in the semiconductor gallium arsenide, used in solar cells, lasers, light emitting diodes (LEDs), field effect transistors (FETs), capacitors and sensors. Led by electrical and computer engineering professor Xiuling Li, the researchers describe their technique in the journal Nano Letters.
A semiconductor's physical properties can vary depending on its structure, ...
