From a lowly yeast, researchers divine a clue to human disease
Working with a common form of brewer's yeast, University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have uncovered novel functions of a key protein that allow it to act as a master regulatory switch -- a control that determines gene activity and that, when malfunctioning in humans, may contribute to serious neurological disorders. The work, published in the Dec. 8 issue of the journal Molecular Cell...Tibetan antelope slowly recovering, WCS says
Returning from a recent 1,000-mile expedition across Tibet's remote Chang Tang region, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) biologist George Schaller reports that the Tibetan antelope -- once the target of rampant poaching -- may be increasing in numbers due to a combination of better enforcement and a growing conservation ethic in local communities. The eight-week journey, which was co-fun...Chew on This-Eating Slowly can Reshape You!
A recent scientific research has gained new ground to prove that your moms' advice, to eat slowly and not to gulp down your food,// was surely the best for you! If you chew your food well and take time between your bites, you will end up eating lesser and feeling better, says a new study. Kathleen Melanson from the University of Rhode Island was the lead researcher of this study. Sh...From a Lowly Yeast, Researchers Divine a Clue to Human Disease
