First Antisense Drug Provides Benefit To Subset Of Chronic Lymphocytic
The first "antisense"drug to be tested in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) shows benefit in a phase III clinical trial for a specific subset of patients - those who are still sensitive to a chemotherapy drug often used to treat this cancer. Mice Regain Ability To Extend Telomeres Suggesting Potential For Dyske
A new study reveals that mice used as a model for the human genetic disease dyskeratosis congenita, have short telomeres for 10 generations when they are interbred. In later generations, the mice regain the ability to lengthen telomeres. Discovering how to induce this equilibration process in DKC patients could suggest new treatment strategies to decrease the genomic instability in their high turnover tissues.

Adolescents And Young Adults With Alcohol-use Disorders Have A Smaller
Alcohol-use disorders (AUDs) are known to be associated with abnormalities of the prefrontal cortex, thalamus and the cerebellar hemispheres in adults. A study of these same brain structures in adolescents and young adults with AUDs has found a smaller prefrontal cortex. Future research will need to determine if a smaller prefrontal cortex represents a vulnerability to, or a consequence of, early-onset drinking. Nanoscience Solutions For Energy Technologies Advocated
Breakthroughs in nanotechnology could open up the possibility of moving beyond the United States' current alternatives for energy supply by introducing technologies that are more efficient, inexpensive and environmentally sound, according to a new science policy study by Rice University.

Marshfield Clinic researchers have begun searching for genetic and environmental links to Alzheimer's disease as a first step toward developing diagnostic markers to identify people at risk before they develop the disease. According to Marshfield Clinic Epidemiologist Catherine McCarty, Ph.D., principal investigator of the Personalized Medicine Research Project and co-investigator of the Alzheimer's study. "We are the first that I know of to look at the interaction between genetics and environment on the risk of disease." Scientists, Cooperators Identify Potato Pest
The pale potato cyst nematode (Globodera pallida) has been positively identified by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and cooperators in soil at a potato processing plant in eastern Idaho. This is the first time this pest--now of great concern in Europe--has been found in the United States. [Odd] A Romanian couple has named their son Yahoo as a sign of gratitu

Wine May Combat Tooth Decay And Upper Respiratory Tract Disease Bacter
Both red and white wine may have previously unknown health benefits at the very start of the journey described in that classic childhood food rhyme, "Through the lips and round the gums, look out stomach here it comes."The study showed that red and white wine were effective in controlling the growth of several strains of streptococci bacteria that are involved in tooth decay, and some cases of sore throat.
