Cause Of Nerve Fiber Damage In Multiple Sclerosis Identified
Researchers have identified how the body's own immune system contributes to the nerve fiber damage caused by multiple sclerosis, a finding that can potentially aid earlier diagnosis and improved treatment for this chronic disease. Novel Method For Nanostructured Polymer Thin Films Developed
Scientist looking for a simple, quick method for making thin films of block copolymers or BCPs (chemically distinct polymers linked together) got an unexpected bonus discovery. They came up with a unique annealing process that may make practical the use of BCP thin films for patterning nanoscale features in next-generation microchips and data storage devices. New Genome Comparison Finds Chimps, Humans Very Similar at the DNA Lev
Summary of the results of the "first comprehensive comparison of the genetic blueprints of humans and chimpanzees [which] shows our closest living relatives share perfect identity with 96 percent of our DNA sequence."Includes the full text of the report by the Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium, published in the journal Nature. From the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Why Are Lions Not As Big As Elephants?
A simple theoretical model provides a framework to understand carnivore energy budgets and reveals insights into the evolution of body size in mammalian carnivores. [Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." Nature: Bloody Suckers

New research finds that deforestation in different areas of the globe affects rainfall patterns over a considerable region. Experiments In Ultra-small Channels Unlock Secrets In Yeast Behavior
Using a biochemical version of a computer chip they invented, a team of researchers has solved a long-standing mystery related to the mating habits of yeast cells. New Program Examines Stem Cells' Potential To Repair, Replace Damaged
Maximizing the potential of stem cells to repair damaged tissue and possibly make new organs lost to disease or injury is the goal of the new Program in Regenerative Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia. Potential Solution To Cetuximab-resistance In Lung Cancers Found In No
A study conducted at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Ludwig Center at Dana-Farber/Harvard Medical School now suggests that antibodies binding a particular protein conformation, caused by hyperactivation, might have distinct therapeutic advantages over antibodies, like cetuximab, that bind to wild-type (normal) target proteins.
