New Approach Reduces Number Of Routines Needed To Detect Erythropoietins
Austrian researchers have successfully developed a new electrophoretic method for detecting MIRCERA® and other erythropoietins (EPO) in the blood. The technique, using SARCOSYL-PAGE, has specifically enhanced sensitivity for MIRCERA, but does not alter the performance characteristics of SDS-PAGE for detecting other EPOs…

Study Finds Informal Social Networks Better At Encouraging Hispanics To Prepare For Disasters
FINDINGS: Historically, authorities have used broad media campaigns to encourage the public to prepare for disasters – an approach that has proven largely ineffective. For this new study, UCLA researchers sought to test novel, culturally tailored, informal social networking approaches to improve disaster preparedness, using data on 231 Hispanics in Los Angeles County…

Calorie Intake Linked To Cell Lifespan, Cancer Development
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered that restricting consumption of glucose, the most common dietary sugar, can extend the life of healthy human-lung cells and speed the death of precancerous human-lung cells, reducing cancer’s spread and growth rate…

HZI Researchers Redefine The Invasion Mechanism Of Salmonella
“Based on our data, the molecular mechanism of infection employed by Salmonella has to be revised,” says Klemens Rottner, head of the HZI research group “Cytoskeleton Dynamics”. The group’s results have now been published in the current issue of the scientific journal Cellular Microbiology. Salmonella are highly adaptive bacteria…

Santa Should Change His Image Says Public Health Expert
Santa should change his image: he should get off his sleigh and walk, lose weight, eat the carrots children leave out for the reindeer and forego the sherry and mince pie, and generally stop promoting obesity, drink driving and unhealthy living, suggests a public health expert from Australia…

In Battle Of The Bulge Food Aromas Could Become New Weapon
A real possibility does exist for developing a new generation of foods that make people feel full by releasing anti-hunger aromas during chewing, scientists in the Netherlands are reporting after a review of research on that topic. Such foods would fight the global epidemic of obesity with aromas that quench hunger and prevent people from overeating…

What Is Wheat Allergy? What Causes A Wheat Allergy?
People with a wheat allergy have an abnormal immune system response to at least one of the proteins that exist in wheat. It is one of the most common childhood food allergies, but may affect adults as well. The person with a wheat allergy has developed a specific antibody to a wheat protein, and sometimes more than one…

Post-Treatment Diet Patterns Explored In Colorectal Cancer Patients
In an effort to build the groundwork for future research on health promotion among individuals with colorectal and other cancers, a team of investigators at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) has launched a new study examining patterns in physical activity and eating habits of colorectal cancer patients who have recently finished treatment…
