UCSB scientists probe sea floor venting to gain understanding of early life on Earth

...Ehrhardt –?studied "abyssal" underwater hills that cover a large geomorphic terrain on the ocean floor and are the most common landforms on the Earth. However, little is known about hydrothermal venting from these common features. The team describes newly discovered geological and biological manifestation...

Finding Cures For Tropical Diseases: Is Open Source An Answer?

...s ifcompanies can sell enough patented products to cover their R&Dcosts and produce profits for shareholders. The model thus fails in thedeveloping world, where few patients can afford to pay patented pricesfor drugs. The solution to this devastating problem, say StephenMaurer, Arti Rai, and Andrej Sal...

NYU Study Reveals How Brain's Immune System Fights Viral Encephalitis

...fection of neurons. The findings, published as the cover study in the latest issue of Virology, show that proteins in neurons fight the virus at multiple stages--by preventing the formation of viral RNA and proteins, and blocking the virus' release, which could infect other cells in the brain. "There is n...

New Study from Affymetrix Laboratories Points to Changing View of How Genome Works

..., Affymetrix has developed tiling microarrays that cover all human chromosomes. GeneChip tiling microarrays have been used by Gingeras and his collaborators, as well as the NHGRI publicly funded ENCODE project, to study the human genome in an unbiased fashion -- including regions that have historically bee...

South America's vast pantanal wetland may become next everglades, UNU experts warn

...estruction. Already, changes in land use and land cover account for about 1.6 gigatonnes (17%) of annual human-caused carbon emissions, the analysis says. And by 2100, "the terrestrial biosphere, which is at present a carbon sink, is projected to become a carbon source." "The release, maintenance or enha...

Researchers are thus saved the time and effort of goin...

Dead zone area in Gulf could be increasing, researchers say

...zone area could be more severe in 2005 and perhaps cover an even larger area than in previous years, says Steve DiMarco, associate professor in the Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M and leader of the project.

Molecular models advance the fight against malaria

...arial drug, atovaquone. The study, featured as the cover story of the April 29 Journal of Biological Chemistry, paves the way for using these models to test new drugs that could suppress malaria's ability to mutate against current therapy. "This is the first quantitative explanation for malaria's drug resi...

Biodiversity hotspots identify conservation priorities

...t ecosystems (most often in tropical forest areas) cover a small total land area yet account for a very high percentage of global biodiversity. The concept was subsequently refined by Myers and CI, most recently in 2000. "This new analysis has benefited greatly from increased collaboration among countries...

NASA study finds snow melt causes large ocean plant blooms
