Foresters UK Describes the Paralympics as a "Watershed Moment"
2012-09-26
The recent London Paralympics were not only the most successful of all time but also seem to have created a significant change in public opinion.

Movie Kiosks Boost Inside Sales for Convenience Store Chain
2012-09-26
Movie and video game self-service kiosks are the next big profit center for c-stores owners, not simply because of revenue generated by disc rentals. Incremental sales from both the initial visit and the guaranteed return trip, as well as the potential for obvious tie-in sales from snack food, beverages, and quick meal options such as frozen pizza, make kiosks an attractive option, especially in light of recent research which shows that discs are consumers' preferred choice when renting movies or games.
Blu-ray and DVD rentals accounted for 62 percent of U.S. movie rental ...
LIFR protein suppresses breast cancer metastasis
2012-09-25
HOUSTON - A receptor protein suppresses local invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells, the most lethal aspect of the disease, according to a research team headed by scientists from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Reporting in Nature Medicine, the team described using high-throughput RNA sequencing to identify the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) as a novel suppressor of breast cancer metastasis, the spread of the disease to other organs.
"Based on our findings, we propose that restoring the expression or the function of key metastasis ...
Cutting through the genomic thicket in search of disease variants
2012-09-25
In the early stages of that vast undertaking known as the Human Genome Project, enthusiasm ran high. The enterprise would be costly and laborious but the clinical rewards, unprecedented. Once the complete blueprint of life was unlocked, the genetic underpinnings for a broad range of human maladies would be laid bare, allowing custom-tailored diagnosis and treatment and revolutionizing the field of medicine.
Or so it was thought.
Instead, "scientists were confronted with thousands of mutations in the collection of proteins in personal genomes, with no ready guide about ...
UCLA scientists fine-tune probe for early Alzheimer's detection
2012-09-25
BACKGROUND
In the Alzheimer's brain, hard plaques accumulate between the nerve cells while twisted fibers grow inside the nerve cells. The plaques arise from protein fragments called beta amlyoid, and the fibers form from a protein called tau. Doctors rely on brain scans to detect amyloid and tau and provide early intervention and treatment to potentially slow or reverse disease progression.
FINDINGS
How the imaging agents work that scan the Alzheimer's brain is unknown. A new UCLA study reveals the physical mechanisms that allow chemical agents to bind to and ...
Hundreds of biochemical analyses on a single chip
2012-09-25
This press release is available in French.Inside our cells, molecules are constantly binding and separating from one another. It's this game of constant flux that drives gene expression asides essentially every other biological process.
Understanding the specific details of how these interactions take place is thus crucial to our overall understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of living organisms. There are millions of possible combinations of molecules, however; determining all of them would be a Herculean task. Various tools have been developed to measure the degree ...
