Jefferson Researchers Find Drug May Give Some Cardiac Protection 24 Ho
A drug has been shown to provide some protection to the heart from injury even if given as much as 24 hours after a heart attack, Jefferson Medical College researchers report. Darbepoietin, a long-acting cousin of erythropoietin (EPO), offered significant protection to heart tissue from injury from ischemia, and even helped improve cardiac function. Solvent-free chemistry

The Sea Urchin Genome Sequencing Project consortium, led by the Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, announced today the decoding and analysis of the genome sequence of the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. New Technology Offers Alternative To Open Heart Surgery
A new method of treating mitral regurgitation (MR), the leaking of blood through the mitral valve into the heart chamber, provides a less-invasive alternative to open heart surgery. A study published in Journal of Interventional Cardiology found that a variety of advances have allowed for the potential treatment of MR through various catheter techniques, similar to angioplasty. While over 50,000 mitral valve surgical procedures are performed annually, open surgery is an undesirable option, especially for high-risk patients.

Zircons and their message from the Earth’s mantle
Zircon is a mineral that exists in nature from colorless to reddish-brown, yellow, green or blue. Zircon may also be transparent making its visual appearance similar to a diamond. Zircon is a common accessory mineral in many rocks of the continental crust. Their chemical and physical durability allow this mineral to survive even under the pressure and temperature conditions of the Earth’s upper mantle. These characteristics challenged a group of scientists to take a closer look on zircons from basaltic fields in north-eastern Bavaria. Their results show that these zircons were formed in the Earth mantle and were stored in this environment many million of years before they were delivered to the surface by basalt lava flows with which they are associated.
