Newborn neurons like to hang with the 'in' crowd

...network of brain cells, at least in mice living in bare standard cages. Providing the mice with a stimulating, enriched environment—large cages filled with running wheels, colored tunnels and playmates—boost the number of neurons that manage to hook up with the existing network to 80 percent, reinforcing ...

Mosquito repellents that emit high-pitched sounds don't prevent bites

...ifference in the number of mosquitoes found on the bare body parts of the human participants with or without an EMR," says lead author Dr Ahmadali Enayati, who works at the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Although the researchers found no direct evidence on whether EMRs prevent malar...

Dig deeper to find Martian life

...osphere and for billions of years it has been laid bare to radiation from space. The team quantified how solar and galactic radiation is modified as it goes through the thin Martian atmosphere to the surface and underground. Three different surface scenarios were tested; dry regolith, water ice, and re...

BioMed Central launches Biology Direct

...sions can be quite vigorous, often enough going to bare knuckles, especially during the coffee breaks or at the bar, but also in the conference room itself. Sometimes someone gets upset or offended but it is, definitely, an exception. And how priceless these discussions often are in providing us with new ...

Sensors, a smart dose of medicine for cancer treatment

...cial packaged diodes out there we needed diodes in bare die form with some novel properties so we developed the diodes ourselves, here at the Tyndall Institute," says Jaksic. The arrays are extremely accurate and can track radiation at micro-Gray resolution over millimetres of spatial resolution. These...

Bare metal stents deliver gene therapy to heart vessels with less inflammation in animal studies

... compound that binds in an extremely thin layer to bare metal surfaces, may have potential uses in other a...technique to attach therapeutic genes to a stent's bare metal surface. This technique allows the genes to help heal the surrounding blood vessels, while avo...

Taking the piste out of Alpine vegetation

... with machine-graded slopes having five times more bare ground than ungraded pistes. And, say the researchers, this damage is long lasting. They found pistes that had been machine graded as long as 30 years ago and re-sown with plant seed had still not recovered. "Machine grading constitutes the most dras...
