Eating Oily Fish May Reduce Inflammation
A new study explains how a diet high in oily fish like salmon and mackerel improves inflammatory conditions, particularly in combination with low doses of aspirin. In a study in the March 7 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine, Arita and colleagues identify an anti-inflammatory lipid in humans that is derived from an essential fatty acid in fish oil. Civil-Military Relations in Iraq (1921-2006): An Introductory Survey
Overview of civil-military relations in Iraq starting with the establishment of the first unit of the Iraqi army on January 6, 1921. Includes statistics and references. From the May 2006 issue of Strategic Insights, "a monthly electronic journal produced by the Center for Contemporary Conflict at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California." MySpace Tries to Filter Videos

In hopes of combating the growing scourge of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, in particular drug-resistant staph bacteria, scientists havedesigned a new type of vaccine that could one day be used in humans to block the onset of infection. Estrogen Linked To Breast Cancer
The female sex hormone estrogen turns on a gene linked to breast cancer, according to new research. The scientists believe their finding will help explain the link between breast cancer and high levels of estrogen. A First-principles Model Of Early Evolution
Researchers present a new model of early biological evolution -- the first that directly relates the fitness of a population of evolving model organisms to the properties of their proteins. The results of the study suggest a plausible comprehensive scenario of emergence and growth of the protein universe in early biological evolution. Tumor-suppressor Gene Is Critical For Placenta Development
An important cancer-related gene may play a critical role in the development of the placenta, the organ that controls nutrient and oxygen exchange between a mother and her fetus during pregnancy, and perhaps in miscarriages. Those conclusions come from a new study of the retinoblastoma (Rb) gene in mice. In humans, this gene, when mutated, raises the risk of a rare cancer of the eye called retinoblastoma. Unusual Mechanism Keeps Repair Protein Accurate
Cancer researchers have discovered that a recently identified protein critical for repairing damaged genes uses an unusual mechanism to keep its repairs accurate. The protein, called DNA polymerase lambda, is one of a group of proteins known as DNA polymerases that are vital for accurately making and repairing DNA. Astronomers Find Unexpected 'Heartbeats' In Star
Astronomers using CSIRO's Parkes telescope in eastern Australia have detected radio "heartbeats"from a star that was not expected to have them. A U.S.-Australian research team found that a "magnetar"-- a kind of star with the strongest magnetic fields known in the Universe -- is giving off extraordinary radio pulses, which links this rare type of star with the much more common "radio pulsars." Researchers Find How One Genetic Variation May Leave Some People Vulne
Scientists have learned how a genetic variation long suspected in making some people susceptible to alcoholism and narcotic drug addiction actually does so. In laboratory studies, this variation greatly reduced the amount of protein that the DNA in a cell produced.
