Gene sequencing explains bioremediation 'bug'
A team led by Johns Hopkins scientists hasfound the first clear evidence that the process behind the human immunesystem's remarkable ability to recognize and respond to a milliondifferent proteins might have originated from a family of genes whoseonly apparent function is to jump around in genetic material. essentially cut...A hope for oil spill bioremediation
A recently published article in Environmental Microbiology reveals that indigenous microbiota of the Galician shore is readily able to degrade crude oil. Scientists from the Estación Experimental del Zaidín (Spanish Council for Research, CSIC) in Granada investigated in situ crude oil degradation after the Prestige oil spill in November 2002. After a spill, hydrocarbons are subjected to ph...Long Term Mediation Not Advisable To Treat Hot Flashes
Researchers said that apart from hormones certain antidepressants and other medicines may help overcome women suffering from hot flashes. // But the bad news is that those medicines have side effects.
