Controlling wildlife trade key to preventing health crises, study says

... the way, hunters, middle marketers, and consumers experience either direct or indirect contact with each animal traded. The pathogens, and even commonly benign microbes these animals carry are sometimes transmitted to other species, including humans, in the process. Domestic animals and wild scavengers in mark...

Scientists discover genetic pathway responsible for breast cancer cell growth

...t they are often untargeted, which is why patients experience side effects," notes Dr. Giguère. "The more focused the drugs the less side effects and the more chance you have to cure the disease." "Research targeting individual molecules associated with pathogenesis of cancer has led to positive clinical resul...

Experimental shingles vaccine proves effective in nationwide study

...oximately 12 percent of older people with shingles experience pain lasting for 3 months or longer (the definition of PHN used in the study). As people age, however, shingles-associated nerve pain increases in frequency and severity. This complication may occur in nearly one-third of persons with shingles who ar...

Corn grain mould used as pesticide

...rofessor Sikora thinks. He has had quite a lot of experience with combating tropical plant diseases. For two years the Bonn team, together with colleagues from the IITA in Benin and Nigeria, have been looking for a mould isolate which is guaranteed to be unable to produce aflatoxin ?after all, they do not want...

Women feel more pain than men, research shows

...throughout the course of their lifetime, they also experience it in more bodily areas, more often and for longer...ies used to cope with pain may actually make their experience worse. These conclusions are based on several studies into the pain response of volunteers exposed ...

NHGRI expands effort to revolutionize sequencing technologies

...borative effort between two laboratories that have experience in nanopore research, protein engineering and molecular recognition. The group will engineer a device with the ability to recognize a nucleotide on the basis of changes in electrical current, as it passes through a membrane with tiny channels known a...

Color perception is not in the eye of the beholder: It's in the brain

... showed that everyone we tested has the same color experience despite this really profound difference in the fro...hese experiments show that color is defined by our experience in the world, and since we all share the same world, we arrive at the same definition of colors." W...

New research puts a fresh spin on current thinking of speech evolution in humans

...nique position to use information shared from past experience and which is stored in memory for the service of communicative acts," explains Dr. Petrides. "That is, Broca's area may have evolved originally as an area exercising high-level control over oral and facial actions, including those related to communic...

Amphetamines reverse Parkinson's disease symptoms in mice

... mice lack detectable brain levels of dopamine and experience essentially all the symptoms of Parkinson's disease for several hours before recovering their normal behavior. Caron is also a researcher of the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy. The team reports its findings in the August 2005 issue ...

Building a better mouse model of lung cancer: FHIT counts

...der of genetic and epigenetic changes in the human experience of this disease." Huebner and colleagues at Ohio State and Thomas Jefferson University bred two strains of mice, one that had only one copy of the FHIT gene, and another that lacked both copies. They also established a control group of normal mice t...

HIV mortality in India drops with introduction of generic antiretroviral therapy

...its of HAART outweigh the toxicities, based on our experience in our patients," said lead author Nagalingeswaran Kumarasamy, PhD, of the YRG Centre for AIDS Research and Education in Chennai. Along with the much cheaper price of ART--which can be expected to drop even further, said Dr. Kumarasamy--comes furthe...

Computer models aid understanding of antibody-dependent enhancement in spread of dengue fever

...r other co-circulating dengue viruses that did not experience enhancement. Counter-intuitively, larger increases in transmission resulted in more extinctions of the enhanced virus. "Dengue dynamics are similar to predator-prey systems in ecology. Antibody-dependent enhancement makes a virus a better predator. ...

Getting an evolutionary handle on life after reproduction

... findings also refute the suggestion that fish may experience little or no reproductive senescence based on evidence that they continue to produce eggs as adults. It's an open question whether postreproductive lifespan can influence fitness enough to be under selection. But in a field dominated by investigation...

Cyberkinetics, Case to develop system to help restore extremity function

...sers. Investigators from both teams have extensive experience in decoding cortical signals into multidimensional movement commands for real-time control of FES systems, computers, and robotic devices in experiments using monkeys. Together, the team has the potential to advance cortical interfaces into the world...

Anti-cancer drugs may hold promise for premature aging disorder

...geria appear normal. But, as they grow older, they experience growth retardation and show dramatically accelerated symptoms of aging -- namely hair loss, skin wrinkling and fat loss. Accelerated cardiovascular disease also ensues, typically causing death from heart attack or stroke at about the age of 12. "Our...
