Researchers examine carbon capture and storage to combat global warming

...n and say something about what will happen when it gets down there,'' said Orr. Currently, three industrial-scale projects are pumping millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the ground every year. Two of them represent the first efforts at storage in deep saline aquifers. A Stanford team also has b...

Old memory traces in brain may trigger chronic pain

...appears to be an old memory trace that essentially gets stuck in the prefrontal cortex, the site of emotion and learning. The brain seems to remember the injury as if it were fresh and can’t forget it. With new understanding of the pain source, Vania Apkarian, professor of physiology, and o...

Common cancer gene sends death order to tiny killer

...lacking p53, further suggesting that this microRNA gets its kill orders from p53. When researchers examined pancreatic cancer cells known to contain damaged or missing p53, they found that those cells had limited or zero miR-34a. "With no p53 gene or miR-34a to stem tumor development, there's no br...
