The Morning After
Examining the assets of CollegeHumor.com, Barry Diller's new go-to site for the frat-boy crowd, suggests somebody may have been on a bender when that deal went down. By David Goldenberg from Wired magazine. UCSF Team Advances Probe Of Neural Stem Cell-brain Tumor Link
Scientists are studying the earliest stages of embryonic and adult stem cell growth in the culture dish and in animal models with the ultimate goal of identifying the genetic missteps that cause such diseases as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and that account for some cases of birth defects and infertility. Scientists also are conducting studies on adult stem cells to determine whether disregulated stem cells cause some cancers. French and Italian Painting of the 18th Century
Introduction to the evolving artistic styles in 18th century France and Italy, during which time the "taste for rococo -- intimate and charming subjects painted in pastel colors -- gave way by mid-century to the simpler, more restrained forms of neoclassical art."Includes annotated images of works by artists such as François Boucher, Jean-HonoréFragonard, and Antoine Watteau. From the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. New Method Of Administering Anti-cancer Drug May Be More Effective, Sa
A novel way of administering an anti-cancer drug to bone-marrow transplant patients using continuous infusion may be more effective and safer than the method currently used, new study findings indicate. Meaty, Salty, Starchy Diet May Impact Chronic Lung Disease
A new study finds that eating mostly meat, refined starches, and sodium may increase the likelihood of developing chronic respiratory symptoms, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Researchers found that individuals whose diets are rich in meat, refined starches and sodium are 1.43 times more likely to report new onset of persistent coughs with phlegm than those who consume a diet high in fruit and soy. New DNA Sequencing Technology Uses Firefly Enzymes To Read Genetic Cod
Unique technology that uses the enzymes of fireflies to read the genetic code of DNA has been installed at the University of Liverpool. Pitt Research Shows NASA Sleep-wake Scheduling Guide May Need To Be Ch
New research from the University of Pittsburgh shows the human body has difficulty adjusting to dramatic time changes such as those experienced by working shifts or traveling across time zones. Engineered Stem Cells Can Home In On Tumors And Deliver Drug Payload I
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have perfected a delivery system for anticancer treatment that zeroes in on a tumor and becomes part of its supporting tissue. This new "cellular vehicle"then pumps drugs directly into cancer cells to disable them, but leaves normal tissue alone. Sexual Behavior and Selected Health Measures: Men and Women 15-44 Year
This 2005 report "is intended to provide reliable national estimates of some basic statistics on certain types of sexual behavior, sexual orientation, and sexual attraction for men and women. ... The data are relevant to public health concerns, including efforts to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and to demographic and social concerns such as birth and pregnancy rates among teenagers."Includes text and highlights. From National Center for Health Statistics. Exercise, Weight Control May Help Reduce Risk Of Breast Cancer, Meharr
Women who exercise more and keep their weight under control may dramatically reduce their odds of developing breast cancer, a population-based study by a team of investigators at Meharry Medical College and the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center suggests. The researchers, along with colleagues at the Shanghai Cancer Institute in China, report a strong link between "energy balance"and breast cancer risk in the June issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers &Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).
