Gender Hormones May Lend To Social Disorder Therapies
Researchers at UW-Madison have made the surprising finding that estrogen-and even dopamine, a neurotransmitter-also play critical roles in the development of aggressive social play behaviors. The work may one day help diagnose new autism cases and potentially pave the way for new hormone-based therapeutic approaches that counteract the social difficulties of autism. The History of Fitness
Article on the history of physical fitness from primitive times through the 20th century. Includes discussion of exercise and fitness in ancient China, India, the ancient Near East, Greece and Rome, Europe, and the U.S. The U.S. sections cover President Theodore Roosevelt's physical fitness ideologies, physical education in public schools, fitness pioneer Jack LaLanne, Dr. Kenneth Cooper, and other exercise-related trends and people. Written by exercise science professors. Gemcitabine And Capecitabine Improved Overall Survival In Patients Wit
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is poor but new therapies such as gemcitabine have contributed to improving the outcome for patients. Data presented at the 13th European Conference (ECCO) revealed that using the combination of gemcitabine and capecitabine increased overall survival in some patients. March Of The Giant Penguins: Prehistoric Equatorial Penguins Reached 5
Two heretofore undiscovered penguin species -- one of which was over 5 feet tall -- reached equatorial regions tens of millions of years earlier than expected and during a period when the earth was much warmer than it is now. Gold Nanorods Shed Light On New Approach To Fighting Cancer
Researchers have shown how tiny 'nanorods'of gold can be triggered by a laser beam to blast holes in the membranes of tumor cells, setting in motion a complex biochemical mechanism that leads to a tumor cell's self-destruction. Cancer Research Could Lead To Improved Detection Methods
Research into the development of cancer at the University of Liverpool could lead to earlier and improved detection methods for the disease. Researchers Identify Target Of Angiogenesis And Tumor Inhibitor
Researchers at the University of Kentucky have advanced research of a natural product found in an Indian medicinal plant that has shown effectiveness in blocking blood-vessel and tumor growth. The discovery may help lead to treatments for certain types of metastatic breast, prostate and colon cancers. Altered Expression Of Ultraconserved Noncoding RNAs Linked To Human Le
A new study provides evidence that noncoding RNAs and interactions between noncoding genes play a much greater role in human cancer than was previously understood. The research may be useful for identifying tumor-specific signatures associated with diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer. Stronger Evidence For Human Origin Of Global Warming
A recent statistical analysis strengthens evidence that human activities are causing world temperatures to rise. Most climate change scientists model Earth systems from the ground up, attempting to account for all climate driving forces. Unfortunately, small changes in the models can lead to a broad range of outcomes, inviting debate over the actual causes of climate change. By applying sophisticated analysis techniques to data, researchers have mathematically stitched together known facts about the global climate into a more objective and coherent picture. Shedding light on photosynthesis
Research carried out at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory is using X-rays to shed light on the machinery of photosynthesis.
