The lopsided brain: Attention bias is shared by humans and birds

...that allow animals to devote attention to multiple aspects of their environment. The findings are reported in the May 24 issue of Current Biology by Bettina Diekamp (now at Johns Hopkins University) and colleagues at Ruhr University, Bochum, Germany; the University of Padova, Italy; and The University of Tr...

Findings have implications for tracking disease, drugs at the molecular level

...ble them to be studied. "One of the most exciting aspects of this technique is that it paves the way for being able to observe behavior in living tissues at the single molecule level," said Fourkas. "The fluorescent molecules commonly used in multiphoton imaging give out only a limited amount of light, 'bur...

The biggest family tree ever

...c markers, the UA scientists' work will unveil new aspects of people's family trees, ones that are almost impossible to discover through traditional genealogical methods. In contrast to written historical records that can be lost or oral histories that can fall into disuse, the information stored in people's...

Report that delayed motherhood decreases life expectancy of mouse offspring

...ced body weight of their offspring. Several other aspects of reproductive fitness of offspring were assessed, but none showed significant deleterious effects. This report identifying effects of delayed motherhood on life expectancy and body weight of offspring will surely stimulate inquiries into mechanism...

New book explains antibiotic resistance for a broad audience

...biotic resistance that has stressed the scientific aspects of the topic has had scientists with advanced degrees as its audience. We wanted to reach a wider audience, but we didn't want to exclude scientists, especially those who work in areas in which information about antibiotics might not have been part o...

Experiment station researchers to explore genome of disease-fighting fungus

... said Wilkinson, who is researching the ecological aspects of the fungus. "You've got Trichoderma present to combat the pathogens that remain in the soil when you incorporate low till. In theory, it would be cost-effective for many producers. "By placing the disease-fighting fungus directly onto the seed, i...

Second messenger NAADP shows fast, dose-related impact on satiety cycle

...ther traditional intracellular messengers and many aspects of this molecule remain under investigation. However the potential of this new messenger as a therapeutic target should not be underestimated," she added. ...

Amongst other aspects discussed were themes such as food quality and safety, conservation and use of horticultural biodiversity, conservation of the environment, technology transference and interchange, as well as current tendencies of consumption, that determine the qual...

Studies reveal how plague disables immune system, and how to exploit the process to make a vaccine

...August issue of Infection and Immunity -- focus on aspects of the type-III pathway, a molecular syringe that Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that may have killed more people throughout history than any other infectious disease, uses to disable its host's immune system. "Yersinia pestis is the nastiest thing ...

Mosaic mouse technique offers a powerful new tool to study diseases and genetics

...ab to see if the technique can be applied to other aspects of developmental biology and disease in mice. ...

Molecular steps involved in the creation of gene-silencing microRNAs identified

...rch also links the process of creating miRNAs with aspects of the HIV life cycle and with tumor suppression. The study identifies three proteins that work together in the cytoplasm to create finished miRNAs. Individually, each of the proteins was known previously, but their joint role in producing miRNAs is ...

Brown-Harvard team solves mobile DNA's surgical sleight-of-hand

...at Brown, conducted the biological and biochemical aspects of the experiments. The Harvard team ?Tapan Biswas, Hideki Aihara, David Filman and Tom Ellenberger ?used X-ray crystallography, a technique that combines strong X-rays and sophisticated computer software, to create a 3-D digital image of λ-INT caugh...

Achilles heel of the herpes virus possibly found

...s the production of that receptor, deciphered some aspects of the receptor's structure, and developed a pig-cell system that could be used to test new anti-herpes drugs. The findings may help explain why the oral and genital herpes virus has such a successful track record: The receptor, dubbed B5, is made b...

Researchers use 3-D imaging system to unveil swimming behavior of microscopic plankton

...biomedical applications. "One of the most amazing aspects of this research is that we were able to see 375,000 of these animals, many as small as one millimeter in length," said Jaffe, a research oceanographer in the Marine Physical Laboratory at Scripps. "I find it fascinating and remarkable that we can ca...

Scientists find microRNAs regulate plant development

...ced by auxin, called NAC1. NAC1 functions in other aspects of the auxin response, such as the formation of lateral roots (roots that grow off the main tap root below ground, as opposed to the adventitious roots that grow off of the stem or other above-ground plant parts). Like ARF17, NAC1 mRNA contains a str...

Scientists discover that three molecules may be developed into new Alzheimer's drugs

...hat we will need to strategically target different aspects of the disease and put them together." Kosik and his team chose to focus on the neurofibrillary tangles of neurons in the brain that, along with senile plaques, characterize Alzheimer's disease. The tangles are made of "tau," a protein that is also ...
