New fat-fighting drug has anti-diabetes action too

The drug which they have dubbed fatostatin stops the body from making fat instead releasing the energy from food. They hope it may lead to a pill that would fight obesity diabetes and cholesterol all at once. Writing in the journal Chemistry and Biology Salih Wakil of Baylor College of Medicine in Texas Motonari Uesugi of Kyoto University in Japan and colleagues said the drug interferes with a suite of genes turned on by overeating. “Here we are tackling the basics” Wakil said in a telephone interview. “I think that is what excited us. Scientists are painfully aware that drugs that can make mice thin do nothing of the sort in humans. A hormone called leptin can make rats and mice drop weight almost miraculously but does little or nothing for an obese person for instance.

Cooper was among 162 honorees who were chosen for excellence in their contributions and distinctive service to the society and to the broader world of chemistry. Cooper’s research has focused on the development of effective ways for students to learn science. ne of the outcomes of her research is the development and assessment of evidence-driven research-validated curricula. Chemistry Life the Universe and Everything (CLUE) is a new general-chemistry curriculum that uses the emergence and evolution of life as the scaffold to teach chemical principles.
Chemistry the key for revamped offensive line
Duke Chronicle
png” >Media Credit: Courtney DouglasWith 1:31 remaining in last year’s contest against Virginia Tech Duke had the ball and a chance to do the unthinkable- shock the perennially powerful Hokies in the hostile confines of Blacksburg Va. n first down former Duke quarterback Zack Asack took the snap in the shotgun looking to pass. The Hokies only rushed four linemen dropping seven men back into coverage. Despite the underwhelming pass rush Asack had barely finished taking a three-step drop when a Virginia Tech defensive tackle broke free drove his shoulders into Asack’s chest and planted him into the ground. The ball-and the Blue Devils’ hopes of an upset-floated into the hands of the Hokies’ Victor Harris who ran it all the way back for a touchdown sealing the deal for Virginia Tech.

But as Joe Hook begins his 11th season on the sidelines thoughts of consecutive seasons with marks of 3-6 and 2-7 are a thing of the past. “We have been doing pretty well in practice so far there’s a pretty good start to it” said Hook 46-50 in 10 seasons at Alton. “There seems to be good team chemistry and that was something we’ve been lacking the last couple of years. I think we will have a better attitude. We have better athletes at skilled positions this season. _krdDartInc++;document.
Biomedical adhesives inspired by invasive species
Times of India
Its adhesiveness has the potential to help form strong bonds in wet surfacesincluding teeth and bones said J. Herbert Waite senior study author andprofessor at the University of California-Santa Barbara’s (UCSB) Marine ScienceInstitute. Perna viridis or the green mussel’s adhesive chemistry ismuch more complex compared to mussels previously studied which took Waite andhis team six years to unravel. Waite learned that Perna viridis a marinecreature relies on an alternative to the common “Dopa” chemistry based on anelaborate modification of the aminoacid tryptophan in its adhesive protein. The adhesive could be used to repair ships that have developedcracks while at sea and must be repaired in a wet environment. Waitewas first alerted to the complicated adhesive of the green mussel when aJapanese group contacted him to comment on their research on the animal. He thenlearned of an infestation of green mussels in Tampa Bay Florida.
