Shark attack worries? Driving to the beach is more deadly

... a shark. "But when a shark attack does occur, it makes big headlines. The drive you will make to the beach is far more dangerous, but an auto accident that kills several people will not make big headlines across the U.S. But a shark attack on one person will." According to the International Shark Attack...

Scientists map the world for nature conservation

... arranged in 867 zones, known as ecoregions. "This makes the data on the world's plant diversity accessible in accordance with a common geographical standard," explains Gerold Kier, head of the project at Bonn University's Nees Institute for Plant Biodiversity. This work, says Kier, represents a significan...

NCI Researchers Confirm the Effectiveness of Immunotherapy Approach to Treating Melanoma

...erleukin-2 (IL-2), a protein made by the body that makes the tumor-fighting cells mature and multiply. Of the 35 patients in this study, 18 (51 percent) experienced an improvement in the amount of tumor present at diverse sites in the body: lung, liver, lymph nodes, brain and skin. Eight other patients de...

Researchers reveal secrets of flying snakes

All other gliders, such as flying squirrels or lizards or gliding birds, maintain a constant wing structure, unlik...

Grass makes environmentally friendly biofuel

U of T researchers map role of Epstein-Barr virus in cancer

...g and die. USP7 is a protein that binds to p53 and makes it stable. Under those conditions, cells stop growing and die, which is a natural state of cell regulation. Once EBNA1 is introduced to cells, however, this protein interferes with natural cell regulation by binding to USP7 and preventing its interac...

Vitamin A's paradoxical role in influencing symmetry during embryonic development revealed

...t sides of the embryo. The action of retinoic acid makes sure that some of those cells ignore the left-right instructions and progress symmetrically. Belmonte compares the node to a doorway. "Before embryonic stem cells enter the node, they don't have an orientation. Nor are they differentiated into speci...

UN: World in big ecological mess

... "The work of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment makes clear how ecosystems and human health are intertwined and further highlights how important it is that decisions related to economic development also protect the environment, in order to ultimately safeguard human health," said Kerstin Leitner, Assist...

High-powered gene profiles provide clues to genes involved in common form of lung cancer

Using technology that makes it possible to zoom in on smaller sections of cell chromosomes than ever before, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified nearly 100 chromosome regions where genes are either over-copied or missing in non-small cell lung cancer. Th...

Scientists discover global pattern of big fish diversity in open oceans

...perhaps even more important than we realize ?which makes it all the more urgent to protect these last remaining bits, say the authors. Today the east coast of the U.S., just south of Cape Hatteras and along the east coast of Florida, harbor some of the most important areas for big fish, as does the open o...

They are small enough to pass through tumor vessels, but too large for the pores of normal vessels. Once the nanocell is inside the tumor, its outer membrane disintegrates, rapidly deploying the anti-angioge...

Circulating stem cells play small role in lung repair
