Cellular origin of deadly brain cancer identified
eBio News Share
Using a mouse genetic system co-developed by researchers at the University of Oregon and Stanford University, a research team led by UO biologist Hui Zong has isolated the cellular
origin for malignant glioma, a deadly human brain cancer. The discovery that oligodendrocyte precursor cells are the point of origin is reported online ahead of regular print publication in the July 22 issue of the journal Cell.

Scientists turn to crowds on the web to finance projects
The New York Times Share
In January, a time when many scientists concentrate on grant proposals, Jennifer D. Calkins and Jennifer M. Gee, both biologists, were busy designing quail T-shirts and trading cards.
The T-shirts went for $12 each and the trading cards for $15 in a fund-raising effort resembling an online bake sale. The $4,873 they raised, mostly from small donations, will pay their travel, food, lab and equipment expenses to study the elegant quail this fall in Mexico.

Climate change reducing ocean's carbon dioxide uptake, analysis shows
Science Daily Share
How deep is the ocean's capacity to buffer against climate change? As one of the planet's largest single carbon absorbers, the ocean takes up roughly one-third of all human carbon
emissions, reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide and its associated global changes. But whether the ocean can continue mopping up human-produced carbon at the same rate is still up in the air.

Detecting crude oil in water
Chemical & Engineering News Share
On a tiny island at Scotland's northeast tip, workers at the Flotta Oil Terminal process crude oil carried by pipelines from North Sea oil fields and then pump the oil into tankers for distribution across the globe. Now researchers have shown that a type of mass spectrometry could help workers at Flotta and other oil processing facilities to detect
seawater that’s contaminated with low levels of oil.

Vitamin D may help pancreas function
NewsMax Health Share
Vitamin D supplements reduced risk factors for Type-2 diabetes by improving the function of insulin-producing cells in pre-diabetic volunteers, a new study has found. "The results ... suggest that vitamin D supplementation may help to improve the main defect in Type-2 diabetes," co-author Dr. Anastassios Pittas, an endocrinologist at Tufts University Medical Center in Boston, told Reuters Health in an email.

One potato genome unraveled, three to go
New Scientist Share
The trusty spud could use some genetic improvement, especially in resisting disease. But the humble tuber is a genetic jungle: most potatoes hold four copies of its genome, each very
different from the others, making sequencing a nightmare. A massive collaboration among scientists on four continents has now solved the problem by growing a whole plant in culture from one pollen cell.

Research could be path to new energy sources
PhysOrg Share
A team of researchers led by University of Kentucky College of Agriculture Professor Joe Chappell is making a connection from prehistoric times to the present that could result in
being able to genetically create a replacement for oil and coal shale deposits. This could have fundamental implications for the future of the earth’s energy supply.
