Fundamental Protein Instrumental To Brain Development And Repair Ident
Scientists have demonstrated conclusively that a specific protein and its signaling activity are instrumental in myelination and remyelination, processes essential to the creation and repair of the brain's white matter. This groundbreaking discovery in mouse models points the way to developing treatments to enhance healthy brain development and/or brain disease repair in children and adults. Worm Studies Give Researchers New Perspective On Embryo Formation
How does a multi-cellular organism with specialized organs and tissues develop from a single cell? A team of genomics researchers has moved closer to answering this question by creating the first comprehensive diagram of the molecular interactions that orchestrate early embryo development. Mountain-building Process Much Faster -- And Cooler -- Than Previously
Geologists at Queen's University have discovered that the time it takes for mountain ranges to form is millions of years shorter than previously thought. This controversial finding could have implications for our understanding of other geological processes that shaped the Earth, says Professor James Lee and postdoctoral fellow Alfredo Camacho of Queen's Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering Department. Workplace Repetitive Strain Injury Likely To Be Significantly Overesti
The prevalence of workplace repetitive strain injury in Europe is likely to have been exaggerated, a new study suggests. How common is repetitive strain injury? The authors conclude that simply counting people who think their RSI is related to their work can substantially inflate the number of cases that are actually caused or worsened by it. Mouse Brain Cells Rapidly Recover After Alzheimer's Plaques Are Cleare
Brain cells in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease have surprised scientists with their ability to recuperate after the disorder's characteristic brain plaques are removed. Eternal Egypt/L'Egypte Eternelle
This site features "high-resolution images, three-dimensional reconstructions of Egyptian monuments and antiquities, as well as virtually-reconstructed environments, panoramic images, and panoramic views of present-day Egypt captured by robotic cameras located from the top of Karnak Temple to the streets of Old Cairo."Access images and information about Egyptian artifacts and architecture using a map, timeline, topics, or related methods. Includes a glossary. Searchable. In English, French, and Arabic. From IBM and the Egyptian government. Quantum Light Beams Good For Fast Technology
Scientists have made another breakthrough in the technology that will drive next generation computers and teleportation. The researchers have successfully superposed light beams, which produces a state that appears to be both on and off at once. Light beams that are simultaneously on and off are vital for the next-generation super computers which should be faster than current computers based on bits, that are either on or off. Clean Cars Elude U.S. Buyers
More than 100 currently available automobiles get 40 mpg or better. Why are all but two unavailable in the United States? In Autopia. Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma On The Rise, Research Shows
A rare skin cancer is becoming increasingly common in the United States, according to new research from the Providence VA Medical Center and the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. The overall incidence of the cancer, known as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, is higher among blacks and increases substantially with age. It was also more common among men than women. Results appear in Archives of Dermatology. Ethanol Is Central to Farm Bill
Congress hands out subsidies like chicken feed and will again debate farm aid. But cuts in ethanol and farm spending should be matched with removing incentives that keep oil prices artficially low. In Autopia.
