Molecular biology fills gaps in knowledge of bat evolution
One in five mammals living on Earth is a bat, yet their evolutionary history is largely unknown because of a limited fossil record and conflicting or incomplete theories about their origins and divergence. Now, a research team including University of California, Riverside Biology Professor Mark Springer, has published a paper in the Jan. 28 issue of the journal Science that uses molecular...Priming embryonic stem cells to fulfill their promise
Bioengineering researchers at the Universityof California, San Diego have invented a process to help turn embryonicstem cells into the types of specialized cells being sought as possibletreatments for dozens of human diseases and health conditions. SangeetaBhatia and Shu Chien, UCSD bioengineering professors, and ChristopherJ. Flaim, a bioengineering graduate student, described the cell-cult...CORNING CELLSTACK FILLINGD CAP, 33MM, LUER LOCK FITTING, STERILE from Sigma-Aldrich

Amorphous calcium phosphate is showing great covenant in dental restorative work, say researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology at Ohio.//This ACP has new physical-chemical properties,” says Tyndall Don, Ph.D., a researcher at OSU. “It’s more soluble than other calcium phosphates and has a tendency to convert to the stable dental mineral hydroxyapatite, which is th...Hydration requirements can be fulfilled with beverages too
We have told for a long time now a lot of health experts that to staywell-hydrated one needs to drink a lot of water. It has been advised we shoulddrink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day to make sure we areadequately hydrated. Researchers from Center for Human Nutrition at theUniversity of Nebraska have now reported that drinking other beverages will alsohelp us keep ourse...New Tooth Paste Is Here To Fill In Dental Cavities
A Japanese team had invented a synthetic paste that will make dental treatment painless. The paste is made of modified hydroxyapatite // that is almost similar to natural tooth enamel, and can be applied on dental cavities to fill in the gap. Conventionally, when dental caries affects a tooth, the affected part is removed and the gap is filled with a metal alloy or resin. At times such...Mercury fillings during pregnancy may not lead to low birth weight
There have been suggestions that using mercury for dental fillings in pregnant ladies may lead to babies born// with low birth weight. Scientists of University of Washington, Seattle, US had done a study that proves the theory otherwise. 1117 women who have given birth to lighter babies (less than 2.5kgs) were compared with 4468 women who had given birth to babies of normal birth weigh...Researchers Bring New Insight To Asthma And SABA Fills
Researchers had said that short-acting Beta-agonist (SABA) prescriptions could be used as a surrogate marker for asthma morbidity of steroid and non-steroid users//. Using claims data for recipients covered by Illinois Medicaid, with a diagnosis of asthma from fiscal year 1996 through June 1998, researchers from Chicago, IL, obtained the claims for SABA- and asthma-related emergency de...VITOSS Synthetic Cancellous Bone Void Filler
