"This is what personalized medicine is all about -- enabling clinicians to detect diseases earlier and manage the...

US life expectancy about to decline, researchers say

... Illinois at Chicago professor S. Jay Olshansky is predicting a decline in life expectancy in the United States later this century. That prediction, which is based on the dramatic rise in obesity, especially among young people and minorities, is from a special report appearing in the March 17 issue in the New ...

Scientists journey to southern Africa to unravel the secret world of elephant communication

..., the UC-Davis team developed a mathematical model predicting that low-frequency vibrations have the potential of traveling up to 20 miles in the ground--potentially three times farther than airborne calls. A year later, after earning a doctorate at UC-Davis, O'Connell-Rodwell moved to Stanford, where she desi...

Gov't Creates Gene Database of Normal Human Tissues

MicroRNA tweaks protein that controls early heart development

...or potential microRNA targets. "If this method of predicting targets turns out to be correct and specific, I think it will go a long way to opening the field more broadly, providing scientists who study microRNAs with an easier way to really figure out what they do," Dr. Srivastava said. In addition to Dr. Sr...
