Fibril Shape Is The Basis Of Prion Strains And Cross-species Prion Inf
Although prions from one species rarely infect other species, researchers suspected that the species barrier is overcome when prions in the two species share a certain level of genetic sequence similarity. Now, new research in mammals and yeast show that when prions do cross the species barrier, it may be because protein fibrils formed by the prions share the same distinctive shape in both species. Poly/mono Balance Important To Cholesterol-lowering Diet
In the search for the best fats for a heart healthy diet, trans- and saturated fats have long been recognized as undesirable and those that contain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) are preferred -- with no clear benefit demonstrated for higher levels of either the PUFAs or the MUFAs within recommended limits. Flu.gov
This page provides links to information about influenza from a variety of federal government offices.

Apologizing for negative outcomes -- a practice common even with children -- may lead to more favorable verdicts for auditors in court, according to researchers. Analysis Of Human Genome To Predict The Development Of Illnesses
The GARBAN project, drawn up by Navarre University, will enable the identification of therapeutic targets for cancer, depression and hepatitis. Strategies to protect new brain cells against Alzheimer's disease
Scientists have discovered that two main causes of AD amyloid-beta (A²) peptides and apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) impair the growth of new neurons born in adult brains. What is more, they have identified drug treatments that can normalize the development of these cells even in the presence of A² or apoE4. Major Ovarian Cancer Clinical Study Announced At Yale Using Combinatio
A clinical study of ovarian cancer initiated by investigators at Yale School of Medicine will combine the anti-cancer drug phenoxodiol with docetaxel for women with recurrent ovarian cancer. Computer System Improves Pain Therapy For Cancer Patients
Pain therapy for cancer patients -- whether inpatient or outpatient -- is often inadequate. At Heidelberg University Hospital, the use of an innovative electronic system -- combined with guidance by an experienced clinical pharmacist -- has been successfully tested. The treatment of the patients showed little variance from international guidelines on pain therapy. In addition, patients reported having less pain. Lake Davis: Northern Pike Eradication Project
Background and updates about the 2007 eradication of northern pike, "a nonnative invasive fish species that threaten California's aquatic resources,"from Lake Davis (Plumas County, California). Fact sheets and other documents cover pike biology and identification, the pesticide (rotenone) used to kill the fish, the economic effect of pike on the local trout fishing economy, and related topics. From the California Department of Fish and Game. Nanotech Clay Armour Creates Fire Resistant Hard Wearing Latex Emulsio
Researchers have found a way of replacing the soap used to stabilize latex emulsion paints with nanotech sized clay armour that can create a much more hard-wearing and fire-resistant paint.
