Scratch no more: Gene for itch sensation discovered

... research like this, a lot of substances have been made that block the activity of GRPR. So now researchers can study the effect of these agents on the itch sensation and possibly move that research to clinical applications fairly soon."...

Art and music for the birds

...ohn Walsh, a video artist, who sent Demaray sounds made by the catbird, an avid appreciator of human noise. The Rutgers-Camden scholar makes art that interacts with natural surroundings – imagine spotting a tree donning a sweater or finding a rock upholstered as a baseball. She decided to find out if rock...

Common cancer gene sends death order to tiny killer

...croRNAs are small chains of ribonucleic acid (RNA) made by the same machinery that produces other types of RNA in the cell, such as the messenger RNAs that carry the instructions to make proteins. Once produced, microRNAs stick to messenger RNAs and, like crumpled paper jammed in a copy machine, prevent p...

Initially, the animal learner made large errors, but also stored the information about its mistakes in a memory bank so it could adapt and make more accurate predictions the next time around. Every time the learner repeated the task, it would sift through the prior knowledge in its me...

Presented in a report made public today, the findings from a 2005 expedition led by Conservation International’s Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) and a follow-up survey in 2006 demonstrate the value of exploring unknown regions such as Suriname’s rainforest to assess the need to...

Researchers track how spores break out of dormant state

Although significant progress has been made in understanding the biochemical and genetic bases of the spore germination process, it is still unclear how a spore breaks out of its dormant state. But a new in vitro study of single germinating Bacillus atrophaeus spores details how the spore c...

New study reports hotel guests at risk from carbon monoxide poisoning

The discovery was made using the MERIS maximum chlorophyll index (MCI) which provides an assessment of the amount of chlorophyll in vegetation to produce detailed images of chlorophyll per unit area. MERIS is uniquely suited for this because it provides images of above-atm...

Largest synthetic gene ever built offers insights into anti-malarial drug resistance

... version of the much smaller PfCRT gene. PfMDR1 is made up of about 4,000 base pairs and its protein is particularly large, Roepe said, making the recent work much more challenging. Already, analysis of these three anti-malarial drug resistance genes is painting a picture of how the parasite escapes d...

New bacterium discovered -- related to cause of trench fever

AMPs are made by virtually all groups of organisms, including amphibians, insects, several invertebrates and mammals, including humans. “Gram-positive bacteria are major threats to human health, especially due to increasing problems with drug resistance, and th...

Brightening prospects of using fluorescent nanotubes in medical applications

Physicist cracks women's random but always lucky choice of X chromosome

Now researchers led by University of Warwick physicist Dr Mario Nicodemi have explained how this randomness occurs and why that it is beneficial. This will help understand the problems of a small number of ...
