Rural America Vulnerable To Bioterrorism And Natural Disaster Threats
The Harvard School of Public Health Center for Public Health Preparedness, in collaboration with the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, and four other schools of public health, has released its latest independent report highlighting rural preparedness challenges and concerns. Researchers Find That Chocolate Compound Stops Cancer Cell Cycle In La
Researchers from Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University have shown how an ingredient found in chocolate seems to exert its anti-cancer properties -- findings that might be used one day to design novel cancer treatments. Rebuilding The Evolutionary History Of HIV-1 Unravels A Complex Loop
An essential component of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) molecular machinery responsible for infecting cells consists of functionally-specialized layers, according to a new study. The investigators developed a new method combining techniques from molecular evolution and artificial intelligence. They reconstructed the evolutionary history underlying 1,145 genetic sequences encoding the V3 loop to discover groups of amino acids that were biologically dependent on each other. Infertility Researchers Identify One Gene's Critical Role In The Human
Why some embryos successfully attach to the endometrium and others do not continues to be a mystery because little is known about the molecular mechanisms involved in the human implantation process. Now, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have investigated one gene's critical role in this process, thereby bringing them a step closer to finding methods to help the more than 6.1 million women in the United States who suffer from infertility. FBI Wards Off Kitchen Sink Bombs
Specialists make bombs from common household items to help the FBI defend against low-tech terrorist threats in the United States. By the Associated Press. Blocking Cell Suicide Switch Fails To Stop Prion Damage In Mouse Brain
Researchers knew that prions, the misfolded proteins that cause mad cow disease and other brain disorders, were killing off a class of important brain cells in a transgenic mouse model. But when they found a way to rescue those cells, they were astonished to discover the mice still became sick. How Do Cells Sense And Respond To Messages? Major Signal Transduction
How cells sense and respond to chemical messages -- a process known as signal transduction -- is a fundamental force in biology, controlling key processes such as cell growth and immune response. Now researchers report a significant discovery in the field of signal transduction that could provide a new target for drugs that fight cancer, HIV and diseases. Leading Cause Of US Food-borne Illness Makes Its Own Pathway Through C
Yale researchers now have some answers about how the bacterium that is the leading cause of food-borne illness in the United States enters cells of the gut and avoids detection and destruction, according to a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Diego in December. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
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... Coastal Dead Zones May Lead To Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management
A new approach to managing ocean fisheries by controlling nutrient runoff far upstream in watersheds has received new support from emerging evidence that resulting coastal low-oxygen dead zones may reduce fish and shellfish harvests, said a Duke University marine scientist.
