Exposure To Environmental Tobacco Smoke Causes Respiratory Symptoms In
Over time, inhaling environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) -- a process often called "passive smoking"-- can cause otherwise healthy adults to developchronic respiratory symptoms. New Gene Mutation Identified In Common Type Of Dementia
Researchers have identified a new gene mutation linked to frontotemporal dementia, according to a recent article. Frontotemporal dementia, one form of which is known as Pick's disease, involves progressive shrinking of the areas of the brain that control behavior and language. Symptoms include language problems and personality changes, often with inappropriate social behavior. Unlike Alzheimer's disease dementia, the disease does not affect memory in the early stages. New Molecule May Aid In Production Of Biofuels And Fungi-resistant Pla
In a recent study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, scientists report on the discovery of a new molecule that is essential for degradation of the biopolymer chitin. This new molecule could eventually aid in the engineering of fungi-resistant plants and could also lead to the discovery of similar molecules that can be used in cellulose-based biofuel production.

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... Hey Gang! Let's Move to the Moon!
A new documentary says lunar colonization is the ticket for clean, renewable energy and the future of the planet. Jason Silverman tries his best to take Gaia Selene's argument seriously. Infants Fine-Tune Visual, Auditory Skills In First Year
Infants refine and narrow their ability to discriminate between things they see and hear in their first year, revealing what appears to be a decline in ability at a time when most other skills and functions are dramatically increasing. The observed process, however, may be an important recalibration of developing brain functions in infants that prepares them for later life, researchers say. Taking the P
Sciencebase readers of a certain age will know exactly what I’m talking about if I were to ask, “Can I have a P, please, Bob?” The Bob in question being host of a TV game show for teens too long ago into my past for me to admit when. The Bob in question was almost [...] Researchers At Yale Identify A Genetic Link To Tourette's Syndrome
In what may be a major milestone in Tourette's Syndrome (TS) research, scientists at Yale School of Medicine and their colleagues have identified a gene called SLITRK1 that appears to contribute to some cases of TS, according to a report in the October 14 issue of Science. Self-assembled Nano-sized Probes Allow Penn Researchers To See Tumors
Nano-sized particles embedded with bright, light-emitting molecules have enabled researchers to visualize a tumor more than one centimeter below the skin surface using only infrared light. A team of chemists, bioengineers and medical researchers based at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Minnesota has lodged fluorescent materials called porphyrins within the surface of a polymersome, a cell-like vesicle, to image a tumor within a living rodent.
