From the deep -- Researchers find new species of sea anemone

...ns about the species itself and, more broadly, may provide clues on how human activities affect this unique, seemingly removed ecosystem. "The thing about these communities is that they seem so ephemeral and so unplanned," Daly said. "A whale dies where it dies, and its carcass lands wherever. But these a...

First demonstration of new hair follicle generation in an animal model

... active only in developing embryos. These findings provide unequivocal evidence for the first time that, like other animals such as newts and salamanders, mammals have the power to regenerate. These findings are published in the May 17 issue of Nature. A better understanding of this process could lead to ...

Iowa State scientists demonstrate first use of nanotechnology to enter plant cells

... agents or chemicals inside cell walls. This would provide plant biologists with a window into intracellular events. The Iowa State team, which has been working on the research in plants for less than three years, started with an Iowa State University proprietary technology developed previously by Lin’s r...

Scientists seek useful traits in wild cottons

...ps, but these methods are expensive and often only provide a three-week window of protection against this hungry pest, Arnold said. Arnold raises thrips on wheat, a favorite host plant, and forces them to move to neighboring cotton plants by killing the wheat with herbicide. "This produces ma...

Scientists discover new life in the Antarctic deep sea

...rustaceans, and molluscs living in the Weddell Sea provide new insights into the evolution of ocean life. Reporting this week in the journal Nature, scientists describe how creatures in the deeper parts of the Southern Ocean - the source for much of the deep water in the world ocean ?are likely to be relate...

Newly identified mechanism for silencing genes points to possible anti-cancer strategies

Genes provide the instructions used by the individual cells to produce the many different proteins that make up the body. Scientists are only beginning to appreciate, however, the extraordinary degree of control exercised over every step of the production process....

Intelligent materials to regenerate bone tissue

...f the bone, it may be necessary for the implant to provide both functional and physiological properties of the damaged item. Given this hypothesis, the bone implants have to comply with a series of requisites capable of contributing to a reconstruction of the deteriorated bone tissue in the most efficient an...

In Iran, cheetahs collared for the first time

... deployed these collars in Iran, and the data they provide will enable us to make very specific recommendations for conserving cheetahs for future generations. We are delighted that this international collaboration is producing such important outcomes." ...

Deconstructing brain wiring, one neuron at a time

...gene required for spreading across synapses but to provide the missing gene by some other means within the initially infected cells," says Ian Wickersham, Ph.D., postdoctoral researcher and lead author on the project. With the critical gene deleted from its genome, the virus is marooned inside a cell, un...

NIDA study identifies genes that might help some people abstain from smoking

...search on Nicotine and Tobacco. “These findings provide ample justification for continuing the search for even more genetic variants associated with smoking cessation success,?says Dr. Volkow. “We soon may be able to make use of this information to match treatments with the smokers most likely to benefit ...

NIAID expands capability for influenza research and surveillance

The goal of the newly created centers is to provide the federal government with important information to inform public health strategies for controlling and lessening the impact of seasonal influenza as well as an influenza pandemic. “The threat of an influenza pandemic is a major source of concern f...

Discovery of new cave millipedes casts light on Arizona cave ecology

...no millipedes are "essentially living fossils" and provide researchers with another piece of the puzzle needed to better understand cave ecosystems. He explained that during the last Ice Age, when northern Arizona was warmer and wetter, millipedes lived in leaf litter. As the climate warmed, they sought...

Fish extinctions alter critical nutrients in water, study shows

... understand these systems. "Computer simulations provide a means to assess patterns of species loss in a system in which we just cannot do complex experiments," said co-author Alex Flecker, Cornell associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, who served as McIntyre's adviser. "But we have to be...

It's never too late to get it back! Aging interrupted

... some cells like damaged and rogue cancer cells to provide energy when it is starving. Then it replaces these cells when a meal is eaten. It seems it is the total number of calories which are consumed, rather than the type of food which is the key to the effects of low calorie diets on the ageing proces...

Leeches ferry infection among newts

...according to biologists, who say the discovery may provide clues to disease outbreaks in amphibians. The findings could also lead to a better understanding of diseases affecting humans, such as malaria, chagas disease and sleeping sickness. All these diseases are transmitted through a vector, an organism th...
