| 'Dabbling' in hard drugs in middle age linked to increased risk of death Posted: 27 Jan 2012 02:47 PM PST Data could lead to better advice for primary-care doctors struggling with a rising tide of older adult patients still in throes of youthful bad habits.  |
| For diabetics not on insulin, self-monitoring blood sugar has no benefit, study suggests Posted: 27 Jan 2012 01:24 PM PST For type 2 diabetics who are not on insulin, monitoring their blood sugar does little to control blood sugar levels over time and may not be worth the effort or expense, according to a new evidence review.  |
| Teens have fewer behavioral issues when parents stay involved Posted: 27 Jan 2012 01:24 PM PST When parents of middle school students participate in school-based, family interventions, it can reduce problem behavior, according to new research.  |
| Scientists probe form, function of mysterious protein Posted: 27 Jan 2012 11:10 AM PST Using computer models and laboratory experiments, scientists have probed the structure of the protein mitoNEET to better understand its role in aging, cancer and diabetes. They found the protein could untangle its arms at one end to loosen its grip on a potentially toxic molecule of iron and sulfur.  |
| Hope for those with a depressive disposition Posted: 27 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST Good news for the 13 per cent of the population with depressive personality traits: their negative outlook does not have to be permanent, according to new research from Sweden.  |
| Sex role stereotyping and prejudices in children explored Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:59 AM PST Girls are not as good at playing football as boys, and they do not have a clue about cars. Instead they know better how to dance and do not get into mischief as often as boys. Prejudices like these are cultivated from early childhood onwards by almost everyone, a researcher asserts.  |
| Collaborative research sheds light on new cancer stem cell therapies Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:54 AM PST New anti-cancer research has led to the development of a novel class of chemical inhibitors that specifically target cancer cells with pluripotency.  |
| Protein purification alternatives Posted: 26 Jan 2012 07:39 PM PST Protein purification, often referred to as downstream processing, is the most costly and time-consuming process in the manufacture of bio-molecules. EU-funded researchers integrated materials science with process development to produce novel low-cost materials and methods for selective purification with a focus on chromatography, membrane separation and extraction.  |
