Plant pathologists offer the science behind Sick Building Syndrome
Science-based identification of mold and other causes of Sick Building Syndrome may improve its management, say plant pathologists with The American Phytopathological Society (APS). Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) refers to a situation in which building occupants experience health problems while inside a particular building. Human health issues typically associated with SBS range from allerg...Science study holds implications for gene therapy and stem cell biology
A study in the May 20 issue of Science holds mixed blessings for scientists who follow research in gene therapy and stem cell biology. The study, conducted by scientists from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and Hannover Medical School and Hamburg University in Germany, reveals important evidence that tells us more about how blood forming stem cells regenerate. On the other hand, sc...DNA/RNA Aptamer Microarray - Comprehensive Service from LC Sciences

- The day an archeologist finds a fossil cat or dog in Precambrian rock is the day Charles Darwin's evolution theory is disproved. But that hasn't happened. In fact, the Earth's fossil records tell a consistent scientific story through the ages: Today's living species descended -- with modification -- from common ancestors that lived in our anci...British, Wisconsin firms explore life-science opportunities together

Dr Reddy's Laboratories Thursday announced it had entered a co-development and commercialisation agreement with Denmark-based Rheoscience A/S for the joint development of a drug to treat diabetes. // Under the pact, Rheoscience will fund all costs associated with the Phase-III clinical trials of balaglitazone (DRF 2593), a partial PPAR-gamma agonist, for the treatment of type 2 diabe...The Unpredictable Face Of Science
Medicine to common people is fascinating and altruistic. Something that is thought as a cure for a certain disease can be // detrimental for the others. Likewise skin cancers can be prevented by not exposing oneself in the sun on the other hand it is proved now that deficiency of Vitamin D (sun) is thought to be a causative agent of other cancers, heart diseases and illness resting due...Science backs the importance of vegetables in diet
According to a study by Imperial College, London a high vegetable and low meat diet is wonderful for blood pressure. It makes people less likely to have high blood pressure// The study is based on the logic that proteins from vegetable sources are better for BP than meat proteins. This study is in consonance with other studied that link a vegetarian diet to lowered BP....Scienceware® Slide Tray Cabinet
