Once given 'no respect,' cells' tiny RNAS take driver's seat
Ribonucleic acid, or RNA, has long been thought to be important only to translate a gene's DNA into the proteins that are cells' workhorses. But new evidence shows that tiny bits of RNA not used to make proteins actually play central roles in normal biology and in the development of cancers. "Scientists have known for a few years that production of these tiny RNAs, known as microRNAs, is o...Driver of anthrax toxicity could lead to late-stage therapy
A study in the March 24 Cell reports the discovery of a gene that drives anthrax bacteria's toxic effects. The gene could offer a potential new target for countermeasures against the lethal toxin, according to the researchers. Such therapies might have the potential to protect against anthrax during the late stages of the disease, after antibiotics have lost their therapeutic value, they a...Stay in the driver's seat, but don't ditch technology
Easy. I am not trying to start some kind of technology for technology's sake argument here. It's very clear that not even the people who are in the business of building and selling technology should head down that path. However, in the last twenty or so years as wave a...Wardrivers now exploiting your wireless service with ease

Researchers say that driving when sleepy increases the risk of a car crash resulting in serious injury or death by eight times.A team at the University of Auckland studied 500 drivers and passengers admitted to hospital, or who had died, between 1999 and 2000.// A furthe r400 drivers using the region's roads in the same period were used as a control group. Drivers reporting sleepiness...Traffic Violations Result in Safer Drivers
That traffic ticket you just received could be preventing a fatal traffic accident -- at least in the short run, say researchers who studied the impact of traffic convictions on the likelihood of being involved in a motor vehicle crash. Results show drivers run a significantly lower risk of getting in a fatal crash in the month after a traffic conviction when compared to other months when no...Dyslexia may slow a driver's reaction time as much as moderate drinking!!
A resent research done on Dyslexic drivers by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, has managed to spark heated debates among// the Dyslexic community. A small study done using driving simulators to test the reaction time of 17 Volunteers, (six of the 17 used were dyslexic) by the University found that Dyslexic drivers took 30% longer to react then the other drivers....Peppermint or cinnamon smell can make drivers more alert
A new study had said that the scents of peppermint or cinnamon could make the drivers of motor vehicles more //alert and refreshed. Driving for long stretches of time makes the drivers of the vehicle angry, fatigued and physically exhausted. The study had monitored drivers who participated in the study under the conditions of three different types of odors of peppermint, cinnamon and n...Both Kidneys Robbed From A Poor Rickshaw Driver In Bihar
Even after the implementation of the Human Organ Transplant Act to prevent commercialization of human organs, instances of ‘organ theft’ only reflect the lacunae existing in the Indian health care system//. The recent report of bilateral kidney retrieval and death of a poor rickshaw driver in Bihar has created much panic in the State. Surenda Das, 30, the rickshaw puller, died at the...Driver Over-the-Wire Coronary Stent System
