Brown-Harvard team solves mobile DNA's surgical sleight-of-hand
In a clever bit of biology called site-specific recombination, DNA can travel inside an organism, or into another organism, and perform a sort of grafting surgery that allows it to insert its chromosome into a chromosome of the target cell. The process is important because mobile DNA can carry genes that cause drug resistance or transmit viruses that cause disease or tumors that result in certain...Mobile phone use not linked to increased risk of glioma brain tumours
Mobile phones are not associated with an increased risk of the most common type of brain tumour, finds the first UK study of the relationship between mobile phone use and risk of glioma. The results are published online by the BMJ today. The four year study by the Universities of Leeds, Nottingham and Manchester and the Institute of Cancer Research, London found those who had regularly use...Mobile DNA part of evolution's toolbox
The repeated copying of a small segment of DNA in the genome of a primeval fish may have been crucial to the transition of ancient animals from sea to land, or to later key evolutionary changes in land vertebrates. The discovery is "tantalizing evidence" that copied DNA elements known as retroposons could be an important source of evolutionary innovations, says the director of the research, Howar...MobilePro to aquire Janesville-based internet service provider

The so-called mobile Internet is neither conveniently mobile, nor completely the Internet. Mobile devices hardly have the display or storage to support a rich Web experience, and mobile networks are not ubiquitous, high-bandwidth or cheap enough to support an always-connected browsing experience. Still, we've come to expect quick access to information. So even while...Mobile Phones Found To Reduce A Man’s Fertility by 30
According to researchers in Hungary, if you are a man and you walk around with a mobile (cell) phone, you could be reducing your fertility by a third. The radiation emanating from the phone may reduce the total number of sperm by 30%. // Researchers examined 200 men. The evidence was quite stark. The researchers found that the males who walked around with their phones switched on (on...Testing Your Health & Charging Your Mobile At One Go - Check Out The Urine Powered Batteries
Imagine a credit card-sized, urine-powered paper battery that could make healthcare tests cheaper and even charge mobile phones! Current biochips need an external reader such as a laser scanner or an external source of power // , such as conventional batteries, to perform diagnostic tests. The technology developed by Ki Bang Lee at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechn...An Under Estimation Of The Radiation Hazard With The Use Of Mobile Phones
Whenever science makes a discovery, the devil grabs it while the angels are debating the best way to use it. ~Alan Valentine Mobile technology, specifically the use of cell phones, has become an internal part of today’s life all around the globe and has permanently changed our perception about life and communication. Very little information is available about the radiation risk associa...Mobile phones may influence normal brain functioning
The increasing number of telecommunication devices available and the length of time spent using mobile telephones has aroused interest for possible interactions between humans and radio-frequency (RF) radiations.// It has been proposed that a precautionary principle should be adopted, particularly for children even if, at present, there is no convincing scientific data to recommend such a limited...Driving While Using A Mobile Phone May Be Dangerous
It is extremely dangerous to talk over one’s mobile phone while driving a vehicle. The cost of switching activities may be in terms of accuracy and response time, as efficiently switching over to a new task can be // prevented by structural cognitive limitations, according to Oregon State University’s Assistant Professor of Psychology Mei-Ching Lien. This includes simple tasks also....Laserex Tango M (Total Mobile Version)
