New Clues Add 40,000 Years to Age of Human Species

...team believes the Africa-Mediterranean correlation ties both regions to moister climates long ago, yielding another method to understand climate history in that part of the world. “The correlation between the Kibish deposits and the Mediterranean sapropels not only helps us resolve an anthropological mys...

Scientists collaborate to assess health of global environment

...ts totaling nearly 2,500 pages and focusing on the ties between ecosystems and human well-being. A set of 33 case studies, termed sub-global assessments, also will be released in late 2005 or early 2006. Each case study will focus on a particular area, Mooney said. "This is really important because the g...

Study reveals dramatic difference between breast cancers in US and Africa

...nection. Olopade grew up in Nigeria, retains close ties with cancer specialists there and returns frequently to teach, for research -- and to visit. She worked with Nigerian researcher Francis Ikpatt, who is completing a three-year post-doctoral fellowship in Olopade's laboratory, to gather the tumor samp...

Stem cell treatment improves mobility after spinal cord injury

...al stabilization at the acute phase, when rods and ties are placed in the spinal column to restabilize it after injury. Currently, drug treatments are given during the acute phase to help stabilize the injury site, but they provide only a very mild benefit, and they do not foster regeneration of insulatio...

Discovery of T-cell 'traffic control' boosts new drug promise

... trials of the new drugs and neither has financial ties to the companies that manufacture them. Controlling this process with drugs offers "enormous potential" against devastating immune reactions, Goetzl says. "Transplanting organs or even cells, such as insulin-producing Beta cells, into a patient tri...

UIC researchers show protein routes messages in nerve cells

...toskeleton," said Featherstone. "This work finally ties the receptors to the cell framework to provide a complete picture." Confirmation of these mechanisms in a mammal such as a mouse or a rat can help researchers understand how nerves need to be reconnected after spinal cord injury, or may open doors t...

War on terror meets war on cancer

...med the government's belief the counterfeiters had ties with terrorists who moved from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. In 2000, the Drug Enforcement Administration began using Ehleringer's method to test thousands of drug samples each year. Slight differences in the nitrogen-15-to-nitrogen-14 ratios h...

Basic work on E. coli identifies two new keys to regulation of bacterial gene expression

... well-studied species in biology and has important ties to the UW-Madison. In his most recent study, Gourse investigated the interaction between RNA polymerase and promoters from the E. coli chromosome. RNA polymerase reads the information in DNA and transcribes it into chains of RNA, which are later tr...

Renewed dolphin slaughter prompts new campaign

"The scientific evidence is abundantly clear--the Japanese dolphin hunts are an assault on intelligent, sentient, and emotional beings with brains that should make us all...

Nanotech tools yield DNA transcription breakthrough

...e UCLA and the Institut Jacques Monod groups. "Our ties are close," he said. "Three former Rutgers graduate students have gone on from my lab to the Weiss lab, and two other Rutgers graduate students have worked in the Strick lab during their thesis studies." ...

Need to pull an all-nighter?

...nd the University of Helsinki (Helsinki, Finland), ties together previous observations about sleep and finds that nitric oxide production in a specific region of the brain ?the basal forebrain ?is both necessary and sufficient to produce sleep. The findings appear in two related papers in the August 18 is...

Single molecule extends fat mice lives by reversing gene pathways associated with disease in obese

...Model The researchers also looked for metabolic ties to resveratrol's impact: pathway changes that mimicked those caused by calorie restriction. They examined AMP-activated kinase (AMPK), a metabolic regulator that promotes insulin sensitivity and fatty acid oxidation. It's been shown in previous work...

Pacific Rim researchers to collaborate on distributed bioinformatics analysis of avian flu

...etworking infrastructure, as well as collaborative ties to Asian institutions to learn more about avian flu, in hopes of helping to head off a much-feared pandemic in the region of the world where the disease has already cost human lives. "We will use modern high-throughput biology to annotate the bio...

ConocoPhillips establishes $22.5M biofuels research program at Iowa State

...ewables Programs includes 145 faculty members with ties to 18 academic departments and 19 research centers and institutes across campus. Those researchers have attracted more than $57 million in sponsored research funding since 2002. The ConocoPhillips research program will add to that total. "Iowa Sta...
