Genes may Have a Role in Learning "tonal Languages"

... results open up a whole new field of inquiry that links language evolution with adaptive molecular evolution and brain function, Newscientist.com quoted Bernard Crespi, an evolutionary biologist at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada, as saying. Given that both genes function in brain development...

Fat Screen Delivers Plant-derived Chemical With Antidiabetic Effects

...ities of harmine and TZDs underscore the fact that links between fat tissue and insulin resistance are complex and are likely to involve not only changes in fat tissue differentiation and cell number but also changes in the fat cells' function, they said....

Global Heartbeat Control Suggests Therapy for Beating Heart Failure

... as "the cherry on the sundae for us."Those direct links to human disease suggest that drugs targeting ERR receptors might hold promise for novel heart therapies. "There are not many ways to prevent heart failure, but molecules that act on these receptors might be one," he said....

Drink, Binge and the Genetic Link

"Given the wide interest in stem cells and regenerative medicine, the interdisciplinary and translational nature of the work, and the pre-eminence of Wisconsin ...

Clock Gene Plays Role in Weight Gain, Study Finds

... Its been known for some time that there are many links between the circadian clock and various aspects of physiology and metabolism, said Carla Green, the studys lead author and an associate professor of biology at the University of Virginia. This study suggests that Nocturnin is part of the network that...

Inherited Genes Linked to Toxicity of Leukemia Therapy

Life Expectancy Increased by Eating Less

...nia, identified a gene in roundworms that directly links calorie restriction to a longer lifespan. The research team found that the gene called 'pha-4' plays a role in gut development in embryonic worms, but in adults is associated with calorie-restricted longevity. Scientists say humans do have three g...

Stressed Mice may Hold Clue to How Fat is Stored: Study

... exact pathway, or chain of molecular events, that links chronic stress with obesity," he said. The researchers found that both neurotransmitters (neuropeptide Y, or NPY) and the receptors (neuropeptide Y2 receptor, or Y2R) are activated during stress, leading to obesity and metabolic syndrome in mice on...
