    Microsoft Excel-based Algorithm Predicts Cancer Prognosis
    Using readily available computer programs, researchers have developed a system to identify genes that will be useful in the classification of breast cancer. The algorithm, described in BioMed Central's open access Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research will enable researchers to quickly generate valuable gene signatures without specialized software or extensive bioinformatics training...

    Fisher Scientists Discover Protein That Fuels Alzheimer's Disease, Promising New Treatments Expected
    Researchers at the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research laboratory published "Gamma-secretase Activating Protein is a Therapeutic Target for Alzheimer's Disease" in Nature online. Drs. Gen He (lead author) and Paul Greengard have discovered a protein that stimulates the production of beta-amyloid, and therefore represents a major new advance in Alzheimer's disease research...

    Nanobiotechnology To Fight Cancer And Other Illnesses
    Two new groundbreaking scientific papers by researchers at UC Santa Barbara demonstrate the synthesis of nanosize biological particles with the potential to fight cancer and other illnesses. The studies introduce new approaches that are considered "green" nanobiotechnology because they use no artificial compounds...

    Being Hungry May Provide A Way To Stay Awake Without Feeling Groggy Or Mentally Challenged
    As anyone who has ever struggled to keep his or her eyes open after a big meal knows, eating can induce sleepiness. New research in fruit flies suggests that, conversely, being hungry may provide a way to stay awake without feeling groggy or mentally challenged. Scientists at Washington University in St...

    Fungus-Farming Ants Using Multiple Antibiotics As Weed Killers To Maintain Their Fungus Gardens May Teach Us How To Slow Drug Resistant Bacteria
    Research led by Dr Matt Hutchings and published in the journal BMC Biology shows that ants use the antibiotics to inhibit the growth of unwanted fungi and bacteria in their fungus cultures which they use to feed their larvae and queen. These antibiotics are produced by actinomycete bacteria that live on the ants in a mutual symbiosis...
