Increased risk of osteoporosis associated with gene that one in five people have

Agilent's new microarray techniques in comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) will allow researchers to rapidly ...

Scientists discover global pattern of big fish diversity in open oceans

"Like Goldilocks and the three bears- ocean animals don't like it too hot, or too cold, they like it just right." For these predatory fish, 22 degrees C (77 degrees F) seems to be the opti...

Purdue scientists may have found key to halting spinal cord damage

...jury," Shi said. "We found that levels of acrolein peak 24 hours afterward, and they remain high for at least a week. Because acrolein has such a long lifespan and is so toxic, we theorize that it is primarily responsible for the secondary damage that keeps injured spines from healing." Acrolein's involv...

This systematic association of croup with HCoV-NL63 is particularly timely as the newly identified v...

Although peak oxygen uptake was not increased, aerobic adaptations did occur within active skeletal muscle as reflected by a 38% increase in activity of the mitochondrial enzyme citrate synthase," Coyle noted. Mechanisms of physiological changes need further stud...
