| 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.  |
| 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.  |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2012 08:59 AM PST Asian women who consumed an average of 200 milligrams or more of caffeine a day -- the equivalent of roughly two cups of coffee -- had elevated estrogen levels when compared to women who consumed less, according to a study of reproductive age women.  |
| Saliva HIV test passes the grade Posted: 24 Jan 2012 08:32 AM PST A saliva test used to diagnose the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is comparable in accuracy to the traditional blood test, according to a new study. The meta-analysis, which compared studies worldwide, showed that the saliva HIV test had the same accuracy as the blood test for high-risk populations. The study has major implications for countries that wish to adopt self-testing strategies for HIV.  |
