Examination of internal 'wiring' of yeast, worm, and fly reveals conserved circuits
First-of-its-kind analysis published in the Feb. 8 PNAS supports the concept of a basic wiring diagram for all eukaryotes. Researchers in California, Israel, and Germany have compared three distantly related species ?baker's yeast, a worm, and the fruit fly ?and reported that protein "wiring" connections in one species are often conserved in all three. This first-of-its-kind analysis of t...Conserved amino acids play both structural and mechanistic roles in sandwich-like protein
The question of whether amino acids in sandwich-like proteins are there to stabilize the structure or to speed up the protein-folding process is best answered by "all of the above," according to researchers at Rice University in Houston. This discovery, reported in today's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could benefit future research on treatments for disease...Scientists observe how a close bond activates the immune system
The immune system is highly complex. The cast of characters alone required to marshal an immune response to a foreign invader can number in the millions as the body's soldiers, T cells, are called into action. What triggers this complex response begins when T cells and dendritic cells, another type of immune cell, form a kind of molecular embrace, or immunological synapse, to relay information ab...When smell cells fail they call in stem cell reserves
Hopkins researchers have identified a backup supply of stem cells that can repair the most severe damage to the nerves responsible for our sense of smell. These reservists normally lie around and do nothing, but when neighboring cells die, the scientists say, the stem cells jump into action. A report on the discovery will appear online next week in Nature Neuroscience. “These stem cells a...SagaGT Microsatellite Analysis Software (Server edition) from LI-COR Biosciences

Researchers in University of Boston observe that brain imaging sheds new light on the possible causes of sleep apnoea. In sleep apnoea, a person stops breathing, momentarily, many times during the night.// The cause is often a weakening of the muscles at the back of the throat, causing upper airway obstruction. Sleep apnoea is often linked with snoring and, naturally, causes daytime sleep...Poorer Quality of Life Observed In Overweight Kids
The more overweight children are, the poorer quality of life they will have, say researchers according to a new study.// Nearly 2,000 children participated in the study . Researchers measured health-related quality of life using a short survey completed by a parent and child self-report to assess the physical, emotional, social and academic functioning of the children. About 75...Preschoolers eat more when served in bigger helpings
Preschool children in the age group of 4 to 6 years of age will eat as much as they are served// in a single helping. New research on pediatric behavior suggests that preschool children eat as much as they are served on their plate in any one time. Till date it was accepted that these children ate depending on how much they had eaten in their last meals, or how calorie rich the last me...Women with borderline ovarian tumors can still preserve their fertility
Women with borderline ovarian tumors can still preserve their fertility// through conservative surgery. In one of the largest study on women with borderline ovarian tumors show that women can preserve their ability to have a child by getting only one ovary removed. Borderline ovarian tumors are a kind of epithelial ovarian tumors. These tumors have less chance of spreading as a maligna...MRI, To Detect Remodeling Of Heart and Help Preserve Function
MRI is a noninvasive technique that produces high-quality images of structures and other internal organs inside the body.
