Researchers use sugar to halt esophageal cancer in its tracks

Posted: 15 Jan 2012 12:09 PM PST

Scientists have identified changes in the patterns of sugar molecules that line pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus, a condition called Barrett's dysplasia, making it much easier to detect and remove these cells before they develop into esophageal cancer. These findings have important implications for patients and may help to monitor their condition and prevent the development of cancer.

Scientists introduces automated imaging to greatly speed whole-brain mapping efforts

In tackling lead pollution, fungi may be our friends

Posted: 12 Jan 2012 10:43 AM PST

Fungi may be unexpected allies in our efforts to keep hazardous lead under control. That's based on the unexpected discovery that fungi can transform lead into its most stable mineral form. The findings suggest that this interaction between fungi and lead may be occurring in nature anywhere the two are found together. It also suggests that the introduction or encouragement of fungi may be a useful treatment strategy for lead-polluted sites.

The Cynical Girl: The Week Ahead

The Week Ahead

Posted: 15 Jan 2012 03:45 AM PST

Happy Sunday!

This is post #52 in my “The Week Ahead” series. Thanks for sticking with this weekly series for over a year!

January is my month when I get stuff done. Birthday. Eye exam. Dentist. Pap smear. Car inspection. Anti-aging facial. You know, the important things. I am running way behind but I did go to the dentist and get my car inspected. Small victories for a woman with a tremendous amount of #suburbanproblems.

Imma be just fine.

What’s up with you guys? Anything new and exciting? Anyone get a raise?

This week I’ll be blogging about cruise ships, Qatar, and the Golden Globes. I might blog about SOPA, Angela Merkel, and the Wii. So stay tuned for all that excitement.

And one more thing — I’ll be adding to my business travel pictures, this week. My goal is to take a picture from each hotel I visit in 2012. I’m ambitious like that, obvs.
