1: 10: 10 / Erlangen - Erlangen researchers have found a new approach for therapy and prevention of breast cancer.

The results are in the journal " Nature" published. The relationship between the administration of certain hormone preparations and breast cancer has long been known.

Cells of the mammary gland have receiver molecules ( receptors) for estrogen and progesterone. Especially medroxyprogesterone, which is used in the three- month injection for the prevention, and other synthetic progestogens increase the risk of breast cancer.

Scientists have now discovered that a signaling protein called progesterone affect RANKL.

This is for the construction and removal of bone is important. Under the influence of progesterone RANKL is also produced in the female breast. It then promotes cell growth in the mammary gland and also increased the stem cells that are responsible for the development of breast cancer.

This helps the development of malignant tumors. Already, the protein can inhibit RANKL. " The findings of the relationships between progesterone and RANKL arise in the future better facilities for the treatment of patients with breast cancer but also for the prevention of tumor development, since changes of RANKL precede the clinical manifestation of the disease, " continues the researcher. Breast cancer in Western industrialized nations, the most common cancer in women - one in ten suffer throughout their lives to it.

Non- smoking - yes or no? 23: 06: 10 / John Loehr, " referendum - thats what" ; 23rd Munich June " Passive smoking is known to be particularly harmful for children, so young families in the tents are kindly lose out, the poor smokers are not two hours without a ciggy its reasonable. A bold, stupid you can not really argue in a holiday flight to Bangkoks go eventually, my nicotine addict! " " We voters should decide now between plague and cholera.

Here, with two proposals once again cut our much vaunted freedom and with a bureaucracy covered is second to none. Here we wanted to reduce bureaucracy but this is also yet another illusion. Would not it have been easier, building tents etc. , smoking " or" Non smoking to identify, then every free citizen who can read, decide whether he goes there or not.

So we are once again constrained and the bureaucrats take a further barbed wire around our freedom. In one- room pubs to 75 square meters is: Are drinks mainly ausgeschnkt the host can allow smoking.

Does the landlord can now certify their space so that the size of the room and it is exactly what is called for, mainly beverages? With such vague terms, the authorities want to spoon- feed the free citizens.

Food and drinks will be balanced, so you can make decisions? Does the landlord keep a record so he can prove that he belongs to the category of up to 75 square meters, so he has to do nothing else.

Im still going with, no vote because here the spoon- feeding is not so bad. A beer tent, no smoking is not conceivable. Incidentally, my wife and I have never smoked except for some youthful foolishness, but we made good time bad. We have four children, two smokers ( on the balcony) .

My mother has her life in restaurants held up as a non- smoker your lungs enjoys excellent health and is 97 years old. Nevertheless, in terms of smoking, the, the Hofbruhaus Aloysius advice to the Bavarian state government bad it is bad but the solution for us with Yes vote will be even worse. "

21: 03: 11 / Ebersberg - " This is a joke, " says Jochen Carl federally protected amphibians to fence at the new southern bypass of Ebersberg.

For him, the structure made of galvanized metal is not even an ornament in the landscape. Every few yards down by the frogs could. " The fence does not flush, " criticized Carl, who is on the BN- circle group of contact for questions amphibians.

Everywhere would be between the fence and land currently still open up gaps of 15 centimeters. " I could imagine at first do not know what will be, " he says.

In many places in the district of frogs, toads and salamanders have to re- cross roads to reach their spawning grounds.

Residents have in the recent heavy rains in the southern bypass of Ebersberg already observed that frogs from the cemetery hillside their traditional spawning grounds during moss tends Inger. Between two long noise barriers gapes at this point a great pass, the frogs have taken the obvious already. If the animals should make it, without prejudice to cross at the traffic on the highway the road, theyll probably be glad that in fact under the newly erected fence frog yawning gaps of up to half a meter. However, then arises the question of why the 750- meter long " demarcation line" had to be built of sheet metal at all - of the current meters for 50 tax money. Total cost of road construction, according to official: At least 37 500 .

The frog fence was built after zoning approval, Johann Taschner informed of the nature conservation authority. Responsible for the fence is the road authority Rosenheim. Perhaps, Taschner believes that amphibians trails were previously not studied closely. Carl criticism that the government had not been protected during the construction involved. He holds an amphibian fence at this point, however necessary, " so there is no movement to and from above. " Frank Ruckdschel department of roads Rosenheim rejects the frog fence was a design fault: " Our landscape gardeners see it differently. " So that the trains will not be spawning to funeral processions to be again this year supervised amphibian fences at seven selected hotspots in the district. " Average of 28 collectors attend early morning and late at night those routes.

From buckets to catch the animals then picked up and carried across the street, " informed the federal government. Following these considerations would have to pass between the noise barriers will also be closed with a frog fence. For now, the amphibians can indeed by Ebersberger cemetery in direction to run Inger Moos on the busy street.

If they survive this action, but they come from the built especially for her amphibian plank no further, because if that would optimizes such that at least the frogs from the barrel Inger Moos after a successful breeding business can walk back. " Because, unfortunately, can be observed in parts substantial population decline, it seems to us still on the few bucks, " said Carl. The environmentalists ask the people in the district, on days with strong amphibious movements FAEN slowly - and not only because more and numerous frogs, but also the factors frog Managers on the move, looking after the fences, pick up the animals and in buckets, the street wear. " Understandably, it is convenient for the volunteer helpers not to be acted upon by water fountains. " The Confederation nature " can not serve all crossings" for they know. Not all crossings are well known. Therefore, the appeal: " Please report the number of road sections with extended amphibians.

Helpers are always welcome.
