Employees had to perform computer based customer service work for a minimum of 20 hours per week in order to qualify for th...

Are Near death Experience Really Just A Dream

...ainstem, which is the lower part of the brain that attaches to the spinal cord and controls most basic life functions. He hopes to further investigate near death experiences on people who have had out-of-body experiences independent of any trauma. Nelson doesn't rule out the possibility that other psychologi...

Vaccine to protect birds against avian flu, engineered

...emagglutinin) (HA) on its surface. This virus then attaches to all the cells that are infected. Bird flu (H5N1) has affected a large number of birds in different areas like Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam, Turkey and Romania. Due to this 150 to 200 million birds have...

Learning process to be regulated by altering brain protein

...NMDA receptor. When reelin encounters the cell, it attaches to Apoer2, which then boosts the activity of the NMDA receptor by promoting a chemical modification of the part of the NMDA receptor inside the cell. The result of this modification is that signals being received by the nerve cell are amplified - and...

Scientists Identify Cancer Pathway

...ltured system. In the study, they found that v-Src attaches to an enzyme, called focal adhesion kinase, inside the cell. This association jumpstarts a series of cascading interactions between proteins in the cell that ultimately block some cell-surface proteins from entering through the cell's membrane. O...

More News That Circumcision Could Reduce risk of HIV infection

... of penis normally folds on itself as a sleeve and attaches to the head of penis. This extra skin is called foreskin. In newborn babies the under surface of the foreskin is fused to the head of penis. Because of this in 95% of newborn babies the foreskin can not be pulled back. This is referred to as ‘physiol...

New Drug To Fight AIDS

...uman cell at the receptor site where the HIV virus attaches by which it competitively inhibits the attachment of HIV virus. Most of the anti-retroviral drugs used against HIV virus attacks the virus and leads to wide spread resistance of the virus to the drugs. But, the new drug AK602 bounds to the host cel...

HIV can be blocked from entering human cells.

...g the virus itself. The drug developed by the team attaches to the protein in the human cell and acts as an entrance into the human cell for the AIDS virus, thereby preventing the HIV from entering and attacking the human cell itself....

...ehold mess in the same way. Anyhow, the male brain attaches less personal identity to the inside of a home and more to the workplace or the yard -- which is why he doesn't get worked up about housework. Male hormones such as testosterone and vasopressin set the male brain up to seek competitive, hierarchical...

Gene researchers make Malaria-resistant mosquito

...am identified a snippet of protein called SM1 that attaches itself to the gut wall of the mosquito, essentially blocking the parasite. The gene's activity is triggered when the mosquito feeds on blood, churning out SM1 "so when the parasite arrives, it doesn't find the right molecule," or any space to fit in...

Surgery-Rigged pulley helps patients

...acial bones, but he doesn't move them. Instead, he attaches wires to the skull or certain other bones. Those wires screw into to a halo-like device, designed with Rush dentist Alvaro Figueroa, worn in front of the face. With a turn of a screwdriver twice a day, parents tighten the wires. That tightening move...

Endometriosis coalesced with genes

... the uterus, develops outside the womb. The tissue attaches itself to ligaments and organs in the abdominal cavity, but still responds to the menstrual cycle — causing bleeding, pain, inflammation, adhesions, and sometimes infertility. Australian endometriosis researchers have made use of the Australian Twin...

New Drug ALT-711 decreases blood vessel stiffness

...ted in the arteries and other tissues when glucose attaches to the protein collagen. // Crosslinks are cable-like structures that inhibit the natural flexibility of collagen strands. They tend to proliferate with age. Crosslinks appear to toughen tissues and may contribute to some of the deterioration ass...

African HIV strains more resistant to anti HIV drugs

...ication of the virus inside the body. If the drug attaches itself to the protease, then it is easier for the drug to deactivate the virus. This is difficult in two African strains called A and C subtypes of HIV, the researchers say. Dr. Ernesto Freire of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland heade...

New drug helps boost cancer treatment

...n cancer treatment, by designing a new drug, which attaches itself to a key position on cancer cells and gives new potency to failing chemotherapy drugs thereby extending survival of advanced colorectal cancer patients. IMC-C225, the new drug which is actually a monoclonal antibody, is designed to interfere ...
