Using Global Warming To Create Conditions For Life On Mars
Injecting synthetic "super"greenhouse gases into the Martian atmosphere could raise the planet's temperature enough to melt its polar ice caps and create conditions suitable for sustaining biological life. In fact, a team of researchers suggests that introducing global warming on the Red Planet may be the best approach for warming the planet's frozen landscape and turning it into a habitable world in the future. Risk Of Common Vaginal Infection Linked To Preterm Birth Appears Highe
Risk of a common vaginal infection linked to preterm birth appears to escalate when even one partner is African-American, according to a new study. When a pregnant woman has bacterial vaginosis, her risk of preterm birth increases. Now when gauging risk for bacterial vaginosis, researchers say physicians also should consider her partner.

This futuristic animated feature paints a world torn by pollution, but don't expect to get any resolution from the story. By Jason Silverman. Improved Molecular Switch Could Serve As Sensor, Medical Tool
Improving significantly on an early prototype, Johns Hopkins University researchers have found a new way to join two unrelated proteins to create a molecular switch, a nanoscale "device"in which one biochemical partner controls the activity of the other. Lab experiments have demonstrated that the new switch performs 10 times more effectively than the early model and that its "on-off"effect is repeatable. Synchrotron Radiation Illuminates How Babies'Protective Bubble Bursts
Researchers have developed an important new technique to study one of the most common causes of premature birth and prenatal mortality. The method uses a powerful X-ray beam to examine tiny structures within the protective sac -- amniotic membrane -- which surrounds the developing baby.
