PediatricsYoung adults allowed to stay on parents' health insurance have improved access to care Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that laws permitting children to stay on their parents' health insurance through age 26 result in improved access to health care compared to states without those laws. This analysis indicates the potential positive impact of a key provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The study appears in the March issue of the journal Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Arthritis & RheumatismCancer rate 4 times higher in children with juvenile arthritis New research reports that incident malignancy among children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis is four times higher than in those without the disease. Findings now available in Arthritis & Rheumatism, a journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the American College of Rheumatology, suggest JIA treatment, such as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, does not necessarily explain the development of cancer in this pediatric population.

PediatricsPrimary care program helps obese teen girls manage weight, improve body image and behavior Teenage girls gained less weight, improved their body image, ate less fast food, and had more family meals after participating in a six-month program that involved weekly peer meetings, consultations with primary care providers and separate meetings for parents. Those results from a study published online today in the journal Pediatrics.

CancerCommon postoperative radiotherapy does not improve survival in older people with lung cancer Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that post-operative radiation therapy, a controversial yet frequently administered treatment for lung cancer, may not prolong life in older people with locally advanced disease.

Nature MaterialsResearchers develop method to examine batteries -- from the inside There is an ever-increasing need for advanced batteries for portable electronics, such as phones, cameras, and music players, but also to power electric vehicles and to facilitate the distribution and storage of energy derived from renewable energy sources. But, once a battery fails, there are no corrective measures -- how do you look inside a battery without destroying it?

Nature ImmunologyNew research reveals how protein protects cells from HIV infection A novel discovery by researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center and colleagues reveals a mechanism by which the immune system tries to halt the spread of HIV. Harnessing this mechanism may open up new paths for therapeutic research aimed at slowing the virus' progression to AIDS. The study appears online ahead of print today in Nature Immunology.

Nature ImmunologyStarve a virus, feed a cure? A protein that protects some of our immune cells from the most common and virulent form of HIV works by starving the virus of the molecular building blocks that it needs to replicate. While researchers hope the work will one day lead to a way to make anti-HIV drugs more effective by increasing their potency against the virus, they're also excited about its implications for our knowledge of other pathogens, such as herpes viruses.

Nature Structural & Molecular BiologyThe proteins ensuring genome protection Researchers from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, have discovered the crucial role of two proteins in developing a cell "anti-enzyme shield." This protection system, which operates at the level of molecular "caps" named telomeres, prevents cells from treating chromosome ends like accidental DNA breaks and "repairing" them. Joining chromosome ends would, indeed, lead to tumor formation. This study will be published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology. Contact: David Shore

Nature Chemical BiologyResearchers discover molecular secrets of ancient Chinese herbal remedy Researchers have discovered the cellular target for a two-thousand-year-old herbal remedy known as Chang Shan. The bioactive compound, called febrifugine, triggers a stress-response pathway that tells cells to conserve resources and eliminate unnecessary functions, which in turn blocks the production of dangerous, disease-causing immune cells.

64th American Academy of Neurology Annual MeetingOvereating may double risk of memory loss New research suggests that consuming between 2,100 and 6,000 calories per day may double the risk of memory loss, or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), among people age 70 and older. The study was released today and will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 64th Annual Meeting in New Orleans April 21-28, 2012. MCI is the stage between normal memory loss that comes with aging and early Alzheimer's disease. Contact: Rachel Seroka
