Gap-climbing fruit flies reveal components of goal-driven behaviors
Like humans, other animals are faced with everyday obstacles in their physical environments and must engage appropriate decision-making and motor skills to deal with them. Navigating these obstacles can involve highly complex events in mammals and other vertebrates, but in new work, researchers have employed an ingenious obstacle-based system for studying the control and structure of goal-oriente...New study reveals components of cocoa may enhance the appearance of the skin
Cocoa butter has long been used topically in many skin creams and cosmetics because it is thought to be good for the skin. Now, new research just published in the Journal of Nutrition reveals the potential benefits of consuming flavanol-rich cocoa and how it might actually benefit skin from the inside out. Researchers found that certain components in cocoa may actually help improve the app...Twin studies reveal genetic components leading to cardiac and kidney disease
Daniel O’Connor, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine has studied about 265 twin pairs over the past few years, which has led him to some surprising discoveries. Studying genetic variations in twins provides...Purification of the Components of Human Macular Carotenoid-Binding Complex, Rev A
The macular region of the human retina is responsible for almost all color vision and most of the high resolution visual acuity. This part of the retina, known as the macula lutea, or yellow spot, accumulates approximately 200 ng of two closely-related compounds, lutein and zeaxanthin....Modine explores making components for fuel cell vehicles
The parts are for use in the Touran HyMotion, the automotive company's new hybrid vehicle. Modine's mass heat transfer and humidifying com...Chemotherapy increases the demand for blood components
The rise in the number of chemotherapy patients has increased the demand for blood components. Hence more people are requested to donate platelets.// According to the Irish Blood Transfusion Service and the Irish Cancer Society (ICS), in the last 5 years, there is a 50% increase in the demand for blood components due to the growing number of new cancer cases. This need can be met by o...Bubbles may Pave Way for Producing Nanoscale Electronic Components
Blowing bubbles could provide a surprising solution to the problem of separating and aligning tangled nanowires and nanotubes, and pave a new way of producing nanoscale electronic components, such as transistors, a new study by American researchers has revealed. As part of their research, Guihua Yu and Charles Lieber of Harvard University, and Anyuan Cao of the University of Hawaii...Ascent Primary Knee System - Ascent primary interlock femoral components.
