New Protective Action For Powerful Anti-HIV Factor Identified
Scientists at the Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology (GIVI) have identified a previously unknown function of APOBEC3G (A3G), a protein that acts against HIV, a finding that may lead to new approaches for controlling HIV infection. Heart Transplant From Organ Donor With Hepatitis C Associated With Dec
Heart transplant patients who receive a donor heart from a person with hepatitis C have a lower rate of survival, according to a study in the Oct. 18 issue of JAMA. Young Smokers Want To Quit, But Don't Seek Proven Treatment
Young adults do not take advantage of proven smoking cessation treatments that can double their chances of quitting, University of Illinois at Chicago public health researchers report. Hydrogen-generating Technology Closer Than Ever
Researchers have further developed a technology that could represent a pollution-free energy source for a range of potential applications, from golf carts to submarines and cars to emergency portable generators. The technology produces hydrogen by adding water to an alloy of aluminum and gallium. When water is added to the alloy, the aluminum splits water by attracting oxygen, liberating hydrogen in the process. The researchers are developing a method to create particles of the alloy that could be placed in a tank to react with water and produce hydrogen on demand. University At Albany Researchers Link PCBs To Respiratory Diseases
University at Albany researchers have found a link between respiratory diseases and New York State residents who live in or near hazardous waste sites containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and persistent pesticides. Gene Variation May Elevate Risk Of Liver Tumor In Patients With Cirrho
A particular gene variation appears to significantly increase the risk that individuals with cirrhosis of the liver will go on to develop hepatocellular carcinoma, a liver tumor that is the third leading cause of cancer death. Researchers have found that a single alteration in the epidermal growth factor gene may greatly increase the risk that cirrhotic patients will develop the tumor. The growth factor pathway may be target for preventive treatment. 'Heart'Of Herschel Space Observatory Almost Ready
By the end of 2007, the assembly of the ESA's Herschel far-infrared space observatory -- the latest mission to study the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies -- will be completed. Corn, Soy Plastics To Be Made Into Hog Feeders
Richard Larock, a University Professor of chemistry at Iowa State University, is developing plastics made from corn and soybean oils that will be used to build hog feeders. The feeders could be on the market by the end of this year. Carnegie Mellon University Chemists Adapt Casting Technique To Make Or
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have harnessed an experimental technology to produce polymer films with long-range-ordered nanostructure and easily convert them into highly ordered "nanocarbon arrays."Called zone casting, it could revolutionize industrial manufacturing of nanoelectronic components. The findings are in press with the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Zone casting could help produce data storage arrays with increased density and reliability, as well as materials for other nanoelectronic devices like field emission arrays. Bipolar Diagnosis In Youth Rapidly Climbing
The number of visits to a doctor's office that resulted in a diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents has increased by 40 times over the last decade, reported researchers. Over the same time period, the number of visits by adults resulting in a bipolar disorder diagnosis almost doubled. The cause of these increases is unclear. Medication prescription patterns for the two groups were similar.
