Cell Death In Sparrow Brains May Provide Clues In Age-related Human Di
A remarkable change takes place in the brains of tiny songbirds each year, and some day the mechanism controlling that change may help researchers develop treatments for age-related degenerative diseases of the brain such as Parkinson's and dementia. Scientists Identify And Repress Breast Cancer Stem Cells In Mouse Tiss
By manipulating highly specific gene-regulating molecules called microRNAs, scientists have succeeded in singling out and repressing stem-like cells in mouse breast tissue -- cells that are widely thought to give rise to cancer. Nanotube Forests Grown On Silicon Chips For Future Computers, Electron
Engineers have shown how to grow forests of tiny cylinders called carbon nanotubes onto the surfaces of computer chips to enhance the flow of heat at a critical point where the chips connect to cooling devices called heat sinks. 1906 Earthquake Centennial Alliance

Widely used in products such as food cans, milk container linings, water pipes and even dental sealants, bisphenol has now been found to disrupt important effects of estrogen in the developing brain. A University of Cincinnati (UC) research team, headed by Scott Belcher, PhD, reports in two articles in the December 2005 edition of the journal Endocrinology that BPA shows negative effects in brain tissue "at surprisingly low doses." More Evidence To Clear Measles Mumps Rubella Vaccine As A Risk Factor
A new McGill University Health Centre study provides conclusive evidence that the Measles Mumps Rubella vaccine is not associated with the development of autism spectrum disorders. The study, published in the scientific journal Pediatrics, reveals fundamental errors in previous molecular studies that falsely implicated the MMR vaccine as a risk factor for autism.
