Unlike other mammals, newborn dolphins and orcas stay active 24/7 during first months of development

... increase sleep over a period of months until they reach normal adult levels. As the newborns grow, neither mothers nor offspring show counterbalancing increases in rest that would indicate accumulated sleepiness. All mammals previously studied have maximum rest or sleep behavior at birth with amounts gra...

Census of Marine Life explorers surprised by diversity, density of Arctic creatures

...t took up to three hours for sampling equipment to reach the seabed, 4,500 meters below the ocean surface. (Half of the Earth is under more than 3,000 meters of water. The seas' deepest trenches drop to 12,000 meters.) While results from these samples are still being examined, they have spawned some early...

Hopkins AIDS experts issue warning about global efforts to provide drug therapies

...3 million people by 2005, these efforts would only reach half of those in need," says Zenilman, senior author of the journal article. "Though more people in developing countries are receiving therapy, growing from 400,000 in June 2004 to 700,000 in December 2004, it still amounts to only 4 percent of infe...

Newest HIV drugs should be used with FUZEON(R)

...nced patients facing HIV resistance and failing to reach undetectable viral load." Studies presented this week show that when FUZEON was given in combination with the novel HIV medication, tipranavir, an impressive 70% of FUZEON naïve patients achieved a ten-fold reduction in their viral load and furtherm...

Fungus-farming termites descend from an African rain forest Eve

...exploit unfavourable areas more effectively and to reach far higher population densities than each of their non-agricultural relatives can alone. Furthermore, besides their agricultural proficiency, fungus-farming termites resemble humans in another respect: just like the human female ancestor was African,...

Researchers discover stem cell 'guide' that may be key for targeting neural stem cell treatments

... zone in the brain's core through mature tissue to reach the olfactory bulb, the "smell" part of the brain located above the sinus cavity. PK2 allows these new neurons to settle into the proper areas of the olfactory bulb, thus permitting these neurons to function normally. "Our findings identify one of t...

Speak up: Louder neurons form more connections

As the brain develops, neurons reach out helter-skelter forming new connections, only a small number of which take hold. How the brain chooses which connections to keep and which to prune back appears to be governed by which branches have the most electrical activity—a finding that coul...

Confirmation of human protein interaction data by human expression data

As the brain develops, neurons reach out helter-skelter forming new connections, only a small number of which take hold. How the brain chooses which connections to keep and which to prune back appears to be governed by which branches have the most electrical activity—a finding that coul...

ORNL, UC Berkeley unravel real-world clues to Earth's mysteries

...tich said. "This goal is particularly difficult to reach due to the complexity and heterogeneity of the communities. "However, the acid mine drainage microbial colony is an excellent starting point because it is a real-life natural world community with a limited number of members. Thus, we can measure and...

Dedicated donor support and strong partnerships with the private sector have enabled the previous campaign in Yemen as well as swift development of the mOPV1 vaccine. However, a global funding gap of US$ 50 million ...

Scientists succeed in cloning human embryos from eggs matured in the lab

"None of these early embryos developed to the blastocyst stage, and failure to do so could reveal some problems in gene activation, especially in cloned embryos. So, first we have to understand how to get cloned blastocysts of good quali...

Researchers seek to discover what really happens when a virus enters the body

...has the invaluable potential to greatly extend the reach of medical research beyond detecting the anatomical presence of the disease. Employing applied engineering technologies to treatment will allow more intensive study of diseases at the cellular level. A greater understanding of the physiology of an il...

Brucellosis, the illness caused by these bacteria, is of great importance worldwide, with millions of human beings and...

Chemical 'band-aid' prevents heart failure in mice with muscular dystrophy

When we gave the mdx mice an infusion of P188 before the dobutamine, none of the mdx mice went into cardiac failure. The polyoxamer ha...
