Stem Cells Determine Their Daughters' Fate
From roundworm to human, most cells in an animal's body ultimately come from stem cells. When one of these versatile, unspecialized cells divides, the resulting "daughter"cell receives instructions to differentiate into a specific cell type. In some cases this signal comes from other cells. But now, for the first time, researchers at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Embryology have found a type of stem cell that directly determines the fate of its daughters. Virus Uses Tiny RNA To Evade The Immune System
HHMI researchers have found that a virus appears to cloak itself with a recently discovered gene silencing device to evade detection and destruction by immune cells. The study may be the first to show how a virus uses the gene silencing machinery for its own infectious purposes. Eye In The Sky Tracks Macaws On The Wing
Researchers have succeeded in placing satellite collars on wild parrots for the first time ever, allowing the scientists to track the birds across the wild landscape of Guatemala with earth-orbiting spacecraft. The collars are expected to last for 9 months, which should generate the data needed to illuminate the mysterious nonbreeding season habitat use, and habitat requirements of the scarlet macaw in Guatemala. Benign Separation Process Being Advanced For Pharmaceutical Industry
Virginia Tech researchers with support from Procter &Gamble Pharmaceuticals have made a discovery that may allow a green-chemistry technique known as supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) to be used in drug development. Australian Hackers Get IPhone Working on Telstra; Analyst Says Softwar
In iPhone news today, Australian hackers succeed in getting an iPhone to work on the Telstra network. Separately, a financial analyst predicts that Apple will soon issue a software update for the iPhone. New Research Suggests Heart Bypass Surgery Increases Risk Of Alzheimer
Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers have discovered that patients who have either coronary artery bypass graft surgery or coronary angioplasty are at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
The government plans to crack down on the scam used by faux beggars in growing numbers for a kind of "emotional blackmail", a cabinet minister was quoted as saying... Study Provides New Estimates Of The Causes Of Child Mortality Worldwid
Seventy-three percent of the 10.6 million child deaths worldwide each year are the result of six causes: pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, neonatal sepsis, preterm delivery and asphyxia at birth. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the World Health Organization (WHO) have developed the most accurate estimates to date of the causes of death of children under age 5. Good, Bad Blood Cells: They Form Clots, Fight Inflammation
Two human blood cells that help fight blood loss, infection and inflammation are responsible as well for starting a series of molecular events that results in overproduction of Cox-2, an enzyme involved in heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis and other inflammatory diseases. Mirrors Can Trick The Brain Into Recovering From Persistent Pain, Rese
