To do the study, the team studied human brain tissue taken from 30 people who had had surgery, mostly to treat e...N.Y. research team discovers how antidepressants and cocaine interact with brain cell targets
NEW YORK (July 28, 2008) -- In a first, scientists from Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University Medical Center have described the specifics of how brain cells process antidepressant drugs, cocaine and amphetamines. These novel findings could prove useful in the development of more ta...Genes and environment interact in first graders to predict physical but not social aggression
Physical aggression in children comes from their genes and the environment in which they grow up. Social aggression, such as spreading rumors or ignoring other children, has less to do with genetic factors and more with environmental factors. One important environmental influence on children...Monkeys use 'baby talk' to interact with infants
Female rhesus monkeys use special vocalizations while interacting with infants, the way human adults use motherese, or baby talk, to engage babies attention, new research at the University of Chicago shows. Motherese is a high pitched and musical form of speech, which may be biological in origin, ...Researchers identify new way the malaria parasite and red blood cells interact
RICHMOND, Va. (March 10, 2009) -- Virginia Commonwealth University Life Sciences researchers have discovered a new mechanism the malaria parasite uses to enter human red blood cells, which could lead to the development of a vaccine cocktail to fight the mosquito-borne disease. Malaria is transm...Study identifies substances in grapefruit juice that interact dangerously with some drugs
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has identified and established the substance in grapefruit juice that causes potentially dangerous interactions with certain medications. For almost a decade, people have been told by their doctors and pharmacists to avoid grapefru...UNC plant researchers discover proteins interact to form hair-trigger protection against invaders
Experimenting with Arabidopsis, a fast-growing cousin of the humble mustard plant, scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill got a big surprise while investigating how plants respond to attacks from disease organisms such as bacteria and viruses.
