Improving Health by Targeting Gut Bacteria: A Q&A with Jeremy Nicholson [Features]
Dimanche 15 Juin 2008 - 22:01 - 5 mois, 1 semaine depuis - 5 lectures - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
This story is a supplement to the feature "Jeremy Nicholson's Gut Instincts: Researching Intestinal Bacteria" which was printed in the July 2008 issue of Scientific American.One of the hottest biomedical fields right now is metabolomics--the study of the metabolites and other chemicals that the body and its bacteria produce. The goal is to find out how the compounds can serve as indicators of health and disease. For the Insights story, "Going with His Gut Bacteria," in the July 2008 Scientific American, Melinda Wenner talked with Jeremy Nicholson of Imperial College London. One of the founders of the field, Nicholson thinks that metabolomics may prove that the best medicine actually targets intestinal flora rather than cells of the body. Here is an edited excerpt from the interview. [More]

News Scan Briefs: Eating with Tension, Cancer Marriage, Milk and Diabetes [Scientific American Magazine]
Dimanche 15 Juin 2008 - 22:00 - 5 mois, 1 semaine depuis - 5 lectures - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
Eating with TensionThe long, thin beaks of shorebirds called phalaropes are no good at sucking up water and any tasty crustaceans within. Instead they rely on the attractive force of liquid known as surface tension to ferry prey upward. The birds first swim in small, fast circles on the surface of the water, creating a vortex that pulls creatures up within their reach. They next peck at the water and then rapidly open and close their beaks. This scissoring motion both pulls and squeezes droplets, about two millimeters in size, and moves them from the tip of their beaks into their mouths. In experiments with mechanical beaks, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the French National Center for Scientific Research find that the droplets do not move well if the water contains oil, detergents and other pollutants that alter water’s surface tension. Draw in the findings from the May 16 Science. [More]
