Expression of infrared fluorescence engineered in mammals
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego led by 2008 Nobel-Prize winner Roger Tsien, PhD have shown that bacterial proteins called phytochromes can be engineered into infrared-fluorescent proteins (IFPs). Because the wavelength of IFPs is able to penetrate tissue, these proteins a...Findings raise new questions about evolution of hormones in mammals
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2009 New techniques used to examine hormones in feces and urine of mammals in the wild are yielding surprising results about hormones and evolution. The new techniques allow scientists to examine the social structure of a broader range of mammals. San Francisco State Bi...Scientists May Isolate Stem Cells From Rats, Other Mammals
Achievement would be a real advance since these cells more closely mimic those of humans WEDNESDAY, Dec. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers say they've found a formula to capture indefinitely the basic embryonic stem cells of a mammal, including long-sought rat stem cells. If the f...Auditory neurons in humans far more sensitive to fine sound frequencies than most mammals
The human ear is exquisitely tuned to discern different sound frequencies, whether such tones are high or low, near or far. But the ability of our ears pales in comparison to the remarkable knack of single neurons in the brain to distinguish between the very subtlest of sound frequencies. Repor...One-sixth of Europe's Mammals Face Extinction, Warns Conservation Experts
A comprehensive survey carried out by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) has said that a sixth of Europe's mammal species is threatened with extinction. Unless the trend is reversed, conservationists fear that the European Union will not be able to meet its self-imposed target of halting ...Scientist Observes real Time Generation of Neurones in Mammals
A scientist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem says that he has observed the real time generation of neurones in a mammals brain, the first ever claim of such kind in the world.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Evidence buried in the chromosomes of animals and plants strongly suggests only one group -- mammals -- have seen their genomes shrink after the dinosaurs' extinction. What's more, that trend continues today, say Indiana University Bloomington scientists in the first issue of ...CU-Boulder study shows 53 million-year-old high Arctic mammals wintered in darkness
Ancestors of tapirs and ancient cousins of rhinos living above the Arctic Circle 53 million years ago endured six months of darkness each year in a far milder climate than today that featured lush, swampy forests, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder. CU-Boulder...Climate change driving Michigan mammals north
ANN ARBOR, Mich.---Some Michigan mammal species are rapidly expanding their ranges northward, apparently in response to climate change, a new study shows. In the process, these historically southern species are replacing their northern counterparts. The finding, by researchers at the Universit...Female mammals follow their noses to the right mates
Female birds often choose their mates based on fancy feathers. Female mammals, on the other hand, may be more likely to follow their noses to the right mate. That's one conclusion of Cambridge zoologist Tim Clutton-Brock and Harvard researcher Katherine McAuliffe, whose review of evidence for fema...Scientists uncover new class of non-protein coding genes in mammals with key functions
A research team at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has uncovered a vast new class of previously unrecognized mammalian genes that do not encode proteins, but instead function as long RNA molecules. Their findings, presented in the February 1st advanc...7 Texas mammals listed as threatened on Global Mammal Assessment
When the Global Mammal Assessment project results are announced this week at the World Conservation Congress in Barcelona, Spain, there will be at least seven Texas species on the globally threatened list.
