Ancient diatoms could make biofuels, electronics and health food - at the same time
19-09-2012
Diatoms could finally make biofuel production from algae truly cost-effective – because they can simultaneously produce other valuable products such as semiconductors, biomedical products and even health foods.Engineers at Oregon State University concede that such technology is pushing the ...
New organic catalyst should enhance drug research and development
13-05-2011
A new "organocatalyst" developed at Oregon State University is now available for commercial use. Produced by an Albany, Ore., pharmaceutical company, it should make new drug development around the world less costly, more efficient and more environmentally friendly.This catalyst, named "Hua ...
'Nanosprings' offer improved performance in biomedicine, electronics
20-09-2010
Researchers at Oregon State University have reported the successful loading of biological molecules onto "nanosprings" – a type of nanostructure that has gained significant interest in recent years for its ability to maximize surface area in microreactors. The findings, announced in the ...
'Co-conspirator' cells could hold key to melanoma prediction, prevention
02-09-2010
New research on how skin cancer begins has identified adjacent cancer cells that scientists are calling "co-conspirators" in the genesis of melanoma, in findings that could someday hold the key to predicting, preventing and stopping this hard-to-treat cancer before it spreads. Changes in the ...
Compound created at OSU could become important new antidepressant
08-02-2010
Chemists at Oregon State University have discovered and synthesized a new compound that in laboratory and animal tests appears to be similar to, but may have advantages over one of the most important antidepressant medications in the world. A patent has been applied for on the compound, and ...
Heavy metal paradox could point toward new therapy for Lou Gehrig's disease
03-12-2009
New discoveries have been made about how an elevated level of lead, which is a neurotoxic heavy metal, can slow the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease – findings that could point the way to a new type of therapy. The results surprised researchers, since lead ...
New 'adjuvant' could hold future of vaccine development
16-09-2009
Scientists at Oregon State University have developed a new adjuvant that could allow the creation of important new vaccines, possibly become a universal vaccine carrier and help medical experts tackle many diseases more effectively. Adjuvants are substances that are not immunogenic ...
Natural compounds, chemotherapeutic drugs may become partners in cancer therapy
02-09-2009
Research in the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University suggests that some natural food compounds, which previously have been studied for their ability to prevent cancer, may be able to play a more significant role in treating it – working side-by-side with the conventional drugs ...
Improved method developed to test carcinogen risk
22-06-2009
Researchers at Oregon State University recently completed the largest animal study ever done in the field of toxicology, according to the university, and the findings challenge some basic concepts about how to determine what level of a cancer-causing compound can be considered safe. The ...
