Men and women with multiple sclerosis (MS) equally transmit the genetic risk of the disease to their children, according to a new study. The research contradicts the results of another recent study, which found affected fathers were more likely than affected mothers to transmit the risk of developing MS to their children. World-first Technology Enables Study Of Ancient Bacteria; Sustainable
Experts at Cardiff University, UK, have designed world-first technology to investigate sustainable energy sources from the ocean bed by isolating ancient high-pressure bacteria from deep sediments. Their findings could also help solve the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. More Sick Leave Given To Men By Male GPs Compared With Female Counterp
Male patients are given more certified sick leave by male doctors compared with the amount of sick notes given to females by female doctors, a new study has revealed.

Cancer may take hold through a key biochemical cycle that suppresses the immune response, thereby allowing cancer cells to multiply unabated. The research shows how the biomolecules responsible for healthy T cells, the body's first defenders against hostile invaders, are quashed, permitting the invading cancer to spread. The same cycle could also be involved in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
