Ecological destruction fuels emerging diseases

The destruction of habitat by human activity and the extinction of species around the world is more than a looming environmental catastrophe, warns a Canadian zoologist. This ecological damage also endangers human health by turning parasites into "evolutionary land mines." Dr. Daniel (Dan) Brooks, a parasitologist at the University of Toronto, says the decline of global biodiversity is li...

Bound for destruction: Ubiquitination protects against improper Notch signaling

The is an important molecular signaling mechanism whose existence has beenknown, or at least hinted at, for nearly a century since theidentification of a mutant strain of Drosophila fruit flies with“notched?wings in Thomas Hunt Morgan’s lab in 1910. Later studiesrevealed that the Notch gene encodes a receptor protein tha...

A molecule impedes the destruction of the 'Brucella' bacteria

Research carried out with the participation of the University of Navarra has shown how a determinate molecule helps an important pathogen, Brucella abortus, escape destruction within the cells charged with eliminating infectious agents (macrophages). This research has been published in Nature Immunology scientific magazine. Brucella is a model of an intracellular parasite, a category that...

Techniques available to detect soil that inhibits destructive soybean pest

Identification of soils that inhibit a tiny soybean-destroying organism is an important tool in reducing yield losses, according to a Purdue University plant pathologist. Soybean cyst nematodes cause between $800 million and $1 billion annually in crop losses in the United States, according the American Phytopathological Society. However, techniques are available to find soils that specifi...

Research: Snails were overlooked contributors to marsh destruction

Buoyed by the effects of an intense drought, otherwise harmless snails likely killed off thousands of acres of salt marsh in the Southeast in recent years. Periwinkle snails, known to science as Littoraria irrorata, normally coexist happily with salt marsh. But the drought, which lasted from 1999 to 2001, weakened and killed marsh grasses such as cordgrass, or Spartina alterniflora, so ext...

Katrina's destruction likely to speed up electronic healthcare records adoption

Years of efforts to promote electronic healthcare records have led to some adoption of the technology but there's been little sense of urgency toward that adoption. Then Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast, destroying countless medical records as part of her path of destruction. Katrina, and her followup Rita, may not only have changed the landscape of the Gulf region...

Harm to the chest can be destructive

According to researchers at the Hopkins Heart Institute, a blunt and apparently innocent blow to the chest may cause sudden cardiac death. When it comes to accidents and sports injuries,// it is a blow on the head that most people fear. According to researchers, at the a blow to the chest may prove more hazardous. The researchers looked at 100 cases of a rare type of cardiac arrest...

Three In One Ultrasound Probe For 3-D Imaging Of Heart And Tissue Destruction Developed

Engineers at the Duke University are working on a technology that may someday enable physicians to use high frequency ultrasound waves both to visualize the heart's interior in three dimensions and then selectively destroy heart tissue with heat to correct arrhythmias.// This is the first time a three in one attempt has been made regarding 3-D imaging, ultrasound and therapy. The rese...

Researchers Discover Two Proteins Involved In Cellular Destruction Of HIV Virus

Scientists at the Ohio State University have discovered a hitherto unknown mechanism by which cells fight against the invasion of the HIV/AIDS virus. //It was found that two proteins that help in the repair of injured DNA also destroy the DNA of the HIV virus, which is vital for its survival once it enters the cell. The report published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Scie...

Internet Encourages Self-Destructive Behaviour Among Teens

A new study conducted regarding use of the internet by young people has highlighted that spending hours on internet chat rooms can induce self-destructive behaviour.// The findings of the study have several valuable implications on the health of the younger generation, where 75- 90% of teenagers in the US access the World Wide Web to exchange e-mails, instant messages, visit chat rooms an...

Protein Found to Shield Pancreatic Cancer Cells from Self-Destruction

HOUSTON, March 20, 2007 - An overexpressed proteinprotects human pancreatic cancer cells from being forced to devourthemselves, removing one of the body's natural defenses againstout-of-control cell growth, researchers at The University of TexasM. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the March issue of MolecularCancer Research. The protein tissue transglutaminase, known by the abbr...
