 Metal Deficit in Mouse Brain Plaques Guides Direction of Human Alzheimer’s Disease Research Tuesday, October 20, 2009 A study at the NSLS shows that minuscule plaques in the brains of mice with Alzheimer’s disease contain much less metal than the brains of affected humans, a finding that could help pinpoint the effect of metal in the human disease.
 Popping the Cork on Biofuel Agriculture Monday, October 19, 2009 Scientists at Brookhaven National Lab have identified a novel enzyme responsible for the formation of suberin — the woody, waxy, cell-wall substance found in cork. Suberin’s most important function in plants is to control water and nutrient transportation and keep pathogens out. Adjusting the permeability of plant tissues by genetically manipulating the expression of this enzyme could lead to easier agricultural production of crops used for biofuels.
