Adults who go to bed lonely get stress hormone boost next morning

...iology and health. "Stress systems are designed to translate social experience into biological action," she said. "They are designed to be a conduit from the outside world to our internal worlds so that we can better respond to our social context. The overarching question of my studies of these systems in a va...

Alarming decline in Nepal's rhinos and tigers in former Maoist stronghold

...tipoaching operations, forge new partnerships, and translate commitments into action." The May 2006 assessment, done by a 40-member team on elephant back that included Bardia National Park staff, IUCN (the World Conservation Union) and WWF, also apprehended two poachers armed with locally made muzzle guns. F...

USC team reveals structure of APOBEC family protein

...eam revealed new details about how these mutations translate into a loss of AID activity. They showed that some mutations stop AID from folding and therefore working properly, while others block its ability to interact with DNA and RNA molecules. "The x-ray structure of Apo2 provides a clear direction for r...

Better sludge through metagenomics

... Even a marginal improvement in the process would translate into huge savings and spell relief for environmental engineers. David Jenkins is Professor Emeritus of Environmental Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. His research spans some forty years of international professional practic...

Stormy days ahead for coral reefs

...matical models borrowed from engineering theory to translate the movement of storm waves into mechanical stress...duces a new concept ?colony shape factor (CSF) ?to translate the myriad shapes and sizes of coral colonies onto a simple scale that measures their vulnerability ...

Study offers innovative profile of enzyme that aids tumor growth

...ome of these test-tube studies can be difficult to translate into clear characterizations of the roles that enzymes play in living systems, where these proteins generally operate within larger metabolic networks. A primary advantage of metabolite profiling in natural biological systems is that it circumvent...

Wheat gene may boost foods' nutrient content

Critical hearing gene helps send auditory messages to brain

...The animals' deafness results from an inability to translate sound stimulation into the release of a chemical nerve messenger, or neurotransmitter, that would usually pass that information to auditory nerves and on to the brain, they reported. The sensory structures within the mutant animals' ears otherwise ap...

Study: Living coral reefs provide better protection from tsunami waves

...ch protection as a dead one," he said. "This could translate into sparing large sections of inshore area from destruction." Because coral reefs are dying from rising ocean temperatures, increasing ocean acidity, and direct human damage, Oppenheimer said the findings offer yet another reason to protect these ...

Effective HIV control may depend on viral protein targeted by immune cells

...ated with Gag-specific CD8 response would probably translate into asymptomatic infection for more than a decade, compared with progression to AIDS within two to three years of infection in those with no Gag responses. The reason why patients?particular HLA Class I molecules are linked to different HIV disease...

Experimental cancer drugs counter muscle deterioration seen in muscular dystrophy

...fectiveness of these drugs in dystrophic mice will translate into an effective treatment for individuals suffering this disease," cautions Puri, who has devoted over 10 years to the study of muscular dystrophy. "It is difficult to predict how long it will take before these studies will be translated into ther...

New mechanism underlying pain found

...ccess to the journal, and may freely distribute or translate its contents." The journal will be published by the Public Library of Science, a coalition of researchers and physicians founded in 2000 by Nobel laureate and former National Institutes of Health director Harold Varmus, Stanford University and Howa...

HIV gets a makeover

...ccines that are effective on SIV don't necessarily translate into human success. Now, using a combination of genetic engineering and forced adaptation, researchers at Rockefeller and the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center have created a version of the AIDS virus that replicates vigorously in both human and mon...

Rearing an army to save wheat

...set. Even a slight increase in efficiency could translate into the ability to produce thousands of additional parasitic wasps, which could then be distributed to wheat stem sawfly infested sites. Pallipparambil-Robert has just begun work on a doctorate in entomology at the University of Arkansas. The lat...

Fruit fly study identifies gene mutation that regulates sensitivity to alcohol

...lues about the fruit fly's behavioral response may translate into useful tools to advance the search for human genes involved in sensitivity to alcohol. Insights about sensitivity, or acute tolerance, are especially important because we know that people who are less sensitive to alcohol's impact are at greater...

Peering into the shadow world of RNA

...he remarkable ability to copy themselves into RNA, translate themselves back into DNA, and then reinsert themselves back into the DNA at the new location. If their insertion spot happens to be within the coding region for a vital gene, the result can be destruction of the gene, leading to birth defects and gen...

Heart smart: new drug improves blood flow
