Prediction Of Gene Function In Mammals
Gene function in mammals can be quickly and reliably predicted using a high-throughput analysis of patterns of RNA expression, according to an article published in Journal of Biology. This challenges the conventional view that tissue-specificity is the best predictor of function, and could speed up the quest to understand whole genomes, in humans and other mammals, by decades. Joe Janes, the Internet Public Library’s founding director, discusse

Newer Antidepressants Led To Less, Not More, Teen Suicides
Contrary to newly mandated FDA black-box warnings, a new study finds antidepressants dramatically lower suicide attempts in youth. Suicide is the third leading cause of death in adolescents in this country, following only unintentional injuries and homicide. In real numbers, about 30,000 young people take their own lives in America each year. Scientists Find Stem Cell Switch In Plants
Scientists have discovered how plant stem cells in roots detect soil structure and whether it is favourable for growth. Poor soil structure is a problem in tropical agriculture, where soil becomes compact as it dries out. Scientists have now determined that the plant hormone ethylene regulates cell division in root stem cells. Laying The Foundations For A Green Industry
Australian university researchers have developed a strong, lightweight building material that they believe could generate a thriving new "green"industry for countries such as China and India. Patients May Want To Skip That Cup Of Coffee Before Undergoing PET/CT
Patients who need a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) procedure to evaluate known or suspected malignancies should lay off the java, according to research by Medhat M. Osman, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the department of internal medicine's division of nuclear medicine and director of PET at Saint Louis University Hospital.
