Buying Time Through Hibernation on Demand

...r the proper antibiotic. "Here's a patient group, quite commonly found in emergency rooms around the country, who would do well if they could just have their core body temperature taken down in order to buy them time until the pathology reports come back and they can get on the right course of treatment,"...

Love's all in the brain: fMRI study shows strong, lateralized reward, not sex, drive

...with sexual arousal. Sex and romantic love involve quite different brain systems." fMRI confirms major predictions, yields "remarkable implications"; autism link Aron reported that, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other measurements, he and his colleagues found support for their tw...

Researchers make gains in understanding antibiotic resistance

...e to a group of antibiotics that, while chemically quite different, all jam the activity of the protein-making factory in bacteria in much the same way. They studied the MLSBK antibiotics, an acronym for a group of antibiotics which include macrolides, lincosamides, streptogramin B and ketolides. MLSBK ant...

Different microarray systems more alike than previously thought

...chers also showed that any of the platforms can be quite good -- or bad. The overall best performance came from one of the labs using a two-color long oligonucleotide array, with better statistical results in accuracy and precision than the remaining nine labs. However, the other lab using the two-color lo...

Decoding the logic of olfaction

...rant receptor inputs onto the olfactory cortex was quite complex. "We had found that inputs from one type of odorant receptor are targeted to several loose clusters of neurons at specific locations in the cortex, " said Buck. In sharp contrast to the olfactory bulb, where signals from different receptors ...

Oceans more vulnerable to agricultural runoff than previously thought, study finds

... of the Yaqui Valley," Matson explained. "We were quite surprised," Arrigo added, noting that the Nature paper marks the first time that scientists have documented a "one-to-one correspondence between an irrigation event and a massive algal bloom." Red tides and dead zones According to the researchers, ...

Study reveals dramatic difference between breast cancers in US and Africa

...s an important role. These tumors are biologically quite different in ways that make this a worse disease." "The discovery means we have to rethink how soon and how often we screen for breast cancer in women at risk for the most aggressive type of breast cancer, as well as how we prevent it and how we tre...

Man-made wetland's effectiveness similar to natural marsh

...tlands nearby to take its place." The story isn't quite the same with nitrates ?a nitrogen-based compound found in fertilizer. "As a wetland gets older, it gets better at handling and storing nitrogen," Mitsch said. "The idea is not to overload wetlands in the first place." The three-acre wetland in the...

Agilent Technologies new genome analysis technology set to accelerate Australia fight against mesothelioma

...ts are often not identified until the condition is quite advanced. Agilent's new microarray techniques in comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) will allow researchers to rapidly and reliably identify genetic changes in tumorous cells. It is believed that specific genetic changes may accompany the onset ...

Bobbing birds do it for a reason

...through the use of eye movements alone, and accept quite a lot of so-called "visual flow" when in motion. In new work addressing this question, Thomas Cronin and Matthew Kinloch at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, with the collaboration of Glenn Olsen of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center,...

Nature provides inspiration for important new adhesive

...ling to rocks despite wave forces," Li said. "It's quite remarkable, just an incredibly unique natural feature." The mussel protein is a superior adhesive, but not readily available. In trying to identify a protein that could be adapted for this purpose, Li had another inspiration at lunch - while eating ...

15-year hunt finds cause of pseudothalidomide syndrome

...eally collaborated with us, they've worked with us quite closely to help us uncover the gene behind the syndrome," says Gordillo. "Now we have about 10 affected families from outside Bogotá, and we can offer a genetic test to families at risk of Roberts syndrome." Vega and Gordillo, a husband-and-wife tea...

Alcohol consumption disrupts breastfeeding hormones

...ce to support this claim. In fact, what happens is quite the opposite, as alcohol disrupts the hormonal milieu of lactation in a way that could impede successful breastfeeding." For centuries, breastfeeding women have been advised to drink alcohol as an aid to milk production and optimal lactation. Recent...

Rabies spread speeds up

...potential for such rapid spread, if unchecked, "is quite alarming," the authors warn. Given the unpredictable nature of rabies transmission - challenging efforts to identify potential leaks in vaccine corridors and sites of dispersal - the authors' simulations provide a valuable resource for anticipating ...

DOE JGI launches IMG public online microbial genome data clearinghouse

John Taylor, professor of plant and microbial biology at UC Berkeley, tried out the IMG system at a community workshop in February. "In evolutionary biology, comp...
