Story tips from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Dec. 2011 1) Computer hackers could lose a huge advantage. 2) Solar and wind energy could become more viable. 3) Something odd happens when you expose the element gadolinium to a strong magnetic field. 4) Carefully combining materials that shrink when heated with materials that expand creates a material unaffected by extreme temperature.

2011 CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer SymposiumFirst whole-genome sequencing clinical trials for triple-negative breast cancer presented Triple negative breast tumors, which make up nearly 20 percent of breast cancers, do not respond to treatment with targeted therapies such as Herceptin (trastuzumab). To investigate new options for these patients, the first clinical trial of whole-genome sequencing for women with triple negative breast cancer was initiated in March 2010, and the first results will be presented during the 2011 CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, Dec. 6-10, 2011.

Cell CycleFirst analysis of tumor-suppressor interactions with whole genome in normal human cells Scientists investigating the interactions, or binding patterns, of a major tumor-suppressor protein known as p53 with the entire genome in normal human cells have turned up key differences from those observed in cancer cells. The distinct binding patterns reflect differences in the chromatin (the way DNA is packed with proteins), which may be important for understanding the function of the tumor suppressor protein in cancer cells.

Nature MethodsLighting the way to understanding the brain In a scientific first that potentially could shed new light on how signals travel in the brain, how learning alters neural pathways, and might lead to speedier drug development, scientists at Harvard have created genetically-altered neurons that light up as they fire.

New study to test unusual hypothesis on beta brainwaves Beta oscillations are tightly linked to Parkinson's disease and the ability to process sensory information, such as touch. Two neuroscientists have brought their collaboration to Brown University and won funding from the National Science Foundation to see if they can finally provide a definitive, if unorthodox, explanation for beta brainwaves.

ZooKeysFirst database-derived 'data paper' published in journal A paper published in ZooKeys journal on a literature-based dataset of Indian birds is first to employ a new workflow enabling extended metadata documents published by Global Biodiversity Information Facility's Integrated Publishing Toolkit to be converted directly into article for review and submission to scholarly journal. Aims to provide incentive for metadata publishing and adds quality control to data published through GBIF.

PLOS ONEBleak future for Bay area tidal marshes? A new study published in PLoS ONE and led by PRBO Conservation Science projects a bleak future for San Francisco Bay's tidal marshes under high sea-level rise scenarios. In the worst case scenario 93 percent of San Francisco Bay's tidal marsh could be lost in the next 50-100 years [with 5.4 feet or 1.65 meters of sea-level rise, low sediment and no significant restoration]. However, restoration currently underway could keep marshes intact as sea-levels rise.

ScienceDual-acting class of antimalarial compounds discovered by Novartis with potential to prevent and treat malaria The discovery of a new class of dual-acting antimalarial compounds that target both liver and blood infections, attacking the Plasmodium parasite at both stages in its reproduction cycle, to publish. Scientists developed a novel assay to determine liver stage activity of candidate small molecules, then used the assay and other tools to identify and optimize a chemical scaffold with activity on both blood- and liver-stage parasites in malaria mouse models.
