Alaskan puzzles, monitoring provide insight about North Pacific salmon runs

... if you maximized the economic value of the catch, including fixed and variable costs, you might consider harvesting very differently," Hilborn says. "For example, you would not take very large harvests in years of big returns because price goes down as does quality." The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation gra...

Iron exporter revealed that may explain common human disorder

...that transport, store, and utilize iron. Mammals, including humans, initially obtain iron from their mothers. After birth, the intestine absorbs dietary iron and releases it into the bloodstream where developing red blood cells incorporate the iron into hemoglobin. When red blood cells die, macrophage cells c...

Insight into natural cholesterol control suggests novel cholesterol-lowering therapy

...ol-building process involves more than 25 enzymes, including one called HMG CoA reductase, and many layers of regulatory control, said Russell DeBose-Boyd, senior author of the study. Scientists have long known that cells respond to a high cholesterol diet by shutting down its internal synthesis, he explained...
