University of Alberta researchers unravel intricate animal patterns

...expand again when the predator is gone. And we can try to compare this behaviour with the breather pattern described in our paper." The results of the model suggest that if we want to better understand the aggregations we see in nature, says Eftimie, we should take a look at how these animals communic...

Researchers discover gene crucial for nerve cell insulation

...R2 gene and another myelin gene, SOX10, as the two try to work together to produce the myelin protein MPZ. Therapeutic Potential By understanding the process which creates myelin, researchers may now be able to investigate new therapies for disorders affecting myelin. "Our research has uncove...

Researchers find gene mutation that causes infertility in male mice

...ncing genes in humans, including the Dmc1 gene, to try and associate changes in gene sequences with infertility," said Schimenti. "There have been occasional reports that in some patients, a sequence change in this or other meiosis genes might cause a dominant defect in function, but until now there has ...

Scientists find genes involved in the battle between Hessian flies and wheat

...ant to the larvae. "The focus of our work is to try to understand how the insect overcomes plant resis...- the early stages of the gnat-sized Hessian fly - try to feed on resistant wheat plants that are able to defend themselves, Shukle said. While the insect...

Researchers find link between food odors and lifespan in fruit flies

... "You continue to work on the model organisms to try to figure out what the actual mechanism is, and then you can try to apply it to people," he said. "The pharmaceutical companies would like to be able to mimic the be...

Natural antibiotics yield secrets to atom-level imaging technique

...efense, battling microbes at the first places they try to penetrate: skin, mucous membranes and other surfaces. They're copiously produced in injured or infected frog skin, for instance, and the linings of the human respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts also crank out the short proteins in response to ...

Detecting poisons in nectar is an odour-ous task for honeybees

...t-so-sweet or even toxic nectars. Why plants would try to poison the honeybees they wish to attract is a scientific mystery. The honeybee, which accounts for the pollination of at least 1/3 of the world’s crop plants, may encounter such poisoned nectar in common crop and garden plants such as Rhododend...

Genetic roots of bipolar disorder revealed by first genome-wide study of illness

... lithium is thought to target. Scientists can now try to develop more effective medications by focusing on new compounds that act on the DGKH enzyme or regulate how much of the enzyme is produced. The DGKH gene is on chromosome 13. Several other genes detected in the study produce proteins involved ...

New knowledge improves rice quality

...ajor international initiative is being launched to try to boost the income of the world’s millions of poor rice farmers and at the same time provide consumers with more nutritious, better tasting food. New scientific knowledge is allowing rice researchers to develop better quality rice varieties that co...

Putting feelings into words produces therapeutic effects in the brain

... time, we’re now applying scientific principles to try to understand how mindfulness works. “This is such an exciting study because it brings together the Buddha’s teachings — more than 2,500 years ago, he talked about the benefits of labeling your experience — with modern neuroscience,” Creswell said...

Human genetic 'deserts' are teeming with significant life

...ons, and they could impair cloning strategies that try to find genes implicated in these pathologies.” They also suggest that extra caution should be used when associating a genetic phenotype with a gene knock-out or knock-in, where genes are added or deleted from a model organism in order to study th...

MU researchers to study the status of black bears in Missouri

...ause bears are active and get into trouble, and we try to reassure the public that we are prepared to handle nuisance bears and protect their property. This pilot study should help us ask better research questions down the road. We don’t know if we have a self-sustaining population in Missouri or if we s...

ASU research shows connection between testosterone, dietary antioxidants and bird coloration

... all individuals cannot produce them ad nausea and try to get mates,” said McGraw. “The reason typically is that long tails and fancy dances incur costs. Testosterone, for example, has been thought of as a double-edged sword as it relates to sexual signals, because it enhances trait production but comes ...

Research shows cord blood comparable to matched bone marrow

...arrow or cord blood transplants, doctors generally try to have the donors’ and recipients’ HLA types match as closely as possible. Wagner added that increasing the inventory will increase the chance of finding donors for ethnic and racial minorities currently underrepresented in volunteer marrow regist...

Studies to find better ways to preserve human eggs, ovarian tissue under way

...s well, at least in blood vessels. “Now we want to try this on eggs and ovarian tissue and see if we can develop a robust technology and improve outcomes,” Dr. Song says. Later, researchers will put ovarian tissue preserved both ways into mice to see if it survives and starts making proper connections...

Cells re-energize to come back from the brink of death

...’ll need to study it in the body, especially as we try to develop ways to force cancer cells without caspase to undergo CICD,” Green said. “Our goal is to find better ways to treat these diseases.”...

Agent slows aging in mice

...inal results of this study, other labs will likely try to repeat the results in animals. Much more research is needed before any possible human anti-aging drug could emerge, Miller says. “Even if this agent turns out to be good for mice, it won’t be possible to tell without careful studies of humans ...
