Solving the mystery of how cigarette smoking weakens bones

July 29, 2012 – 2:00 pm

Solving the mystery of how cigarette smoking weakens bones - Almost 20 years after scientists first identified cigarette smoking as a risk factor for osteoporosis and bone fractures, a new study is shedding light on exactly how cigarette smoke weakens bones. The report concludes that cigarette smoke makes people produce excessive amounts of two proteins that trigger a natural body process that breaks down bone.

A sweeter approach to sugar synthesis | Chemistry World

July 27, 2012 – 5:00 pm

A sweeter approach to sugar synthesis | Chemistry World - Sugar chemists have developed a highly efficient synthetic pathway to produce a variety of oligosaccharides from scratch. While there are numerous options in a glycochemists’ toolbox to produce monosaccharides, automated synthesis of oligosaccharides is still very limited. The new approach not only complements conventional methods but allows the synthesis of unnatural oligosaccharides, which could be important in biological and medicinal chemistry studies.
