Researchers find promising cancer-fighting power of synthetic cell-signaling molecule

...mols were the most potent. The lead compounds were named "Enigmols" because sphingolipids were named after the sphinx for their enigmatic properties. Emory University holds the patent on compounds of t...

Migratory songbirds have a specialized night-vision brain area

...ited the researchers was that the area, which they named Cluster N, was not active in the migratory birds during the daytime. Furthermore, non-migratory songbirds did not show strong activation in the Cluster N even under moonlight conditions. To determine whether the brain cluster is really specialized f...

A New Species of Monkey is Discovered in Tanzania: The First in Africa for More Than 20 Years

The latest find is named the “Highland Mangabey?(Lophocebus kipunji), a long-haired forest primate first discovered on the flanks of the 10,000 ft (2961 m) volcano Mt. Rungwe and in the adjoining Kitulo National Park. Last December, WCS researchers found a new species of mac...

Building a protein name dictionary from full text: a machine learning term extraction approach

...ture. Results We present an approach to recognize named entities in full text. The approach collects high frequency terms in an article, and uses support vector machines (SVM) to identify biological entity names. It is also computationally efficient and robust to noise commonly found in full text material...

Embryonic Stem Cells Treated With Growth Factor Reverse Hemophilia In Mice: UNC Researchers

...ly endoderm like precursors, which the researchers named "putative endoderm precursors," or PEPs. Endoderm refers to the inner layer of early embryonic cells that develops into the digestive and respiratory systems. "Not only do ES cells differentiate into PEPs, they also engraft, persist, differentiate f...

While on trail of dioxin, scientists pinpoint cancer target of green tea

The award is given at graduation each year to a student who has produced an outstanding thesis. The research also has earned Palermo awards from t...

Scientists use manufacturing methods to reconstruct mastodon

...leton, which will bear 7-foot tusks. The specimen, named the Buesching mastodon for the Indiana family on whose property it was discovered in 1998, will join the museum's female mastodon skeleton, which has been on display since the 1940s. Paleontologists rarely find complete skeletons, so they're often f...

Revueltosaurus skeleton unearthed at Petrified Forest upsets dinosaur tale
