Welcome to the December issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
Selenium is an essential trace element with very special characteristics. It is a constituent of more than two dozen selenoproteins that play
critical roles in reproduction, thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA
synthesis, and protection from oxidative damage and infection. Some studies indicated a positive effect of selenium on cancer risk, but a review of 55 studies in 2011 concluded that selenium supplementation does not reduce cancer risk. Now a new study put the debate around selenium and cancer back on the table and
highlights the need for further research to understand the benefits, if
any, of supplementing diets in regions where selenium is naturally low (see the News below).
With this issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter we celebrate 10 years of its existence. The first Speciation Newsletter was submitted in December 2004 and since then a growing community of subscribers was informed through the Newsletter on all aspects of elemental speciation (see the News below).
We thank you all for your interest and your fidelity.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous Year 2015
Your EVISA team

EVISA is keeping you updated with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and informations from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis.
With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time.
Decreased risk of colorectal cancer linked with higher selenium status
Higher levels of selenium in blood are associated with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer, according to new research published in the International Journal of Cancer.

Ten years EVISA Speciation Newsletter
The European Virtual Institute for Speciation Analysis (EVISA) started in December 2004 to send out its "Speciation Newsletter" to a growing community of subscribers. The newsletter is meant to update all those interested in elemental species, with information about speciation analysis, the role of elemental species in life sciences and other scientific research, as well as rules and legislation related to such element species.
