The company behind the transistor radio and the Walkman finds itself at the precipice. If its new $600 console doesn't blow gamers away, it may be time to say sayonara. By Frank Rose from Wired magazine. Growing Problem of Obesity
Obesity is a growing problem Drug Aimed At Two Bioterror Agents Blocks Live Viral Infection, Study
Two deadly and highly infectious viruses -- both potential bioterror threats -- may have met their match in a new drug. Hendra and Nipah viruses are related, newly recognized zoonotic viruses that can spread from their natural reservoir in fruit bats to larger animals -- including pigs, horses and humans. New Clues Add 40,000 Years To Age Of Human Species
Nearly 40 years after an historic anthropology expedition to Ethiopia's Lake Turkana basin, researchers have uncovered evidence suggesting human bones found at that time are roughly 195,000 years old. The researchers believe the findings may bolster the "Out-of-Africa"hypothesis that suggests we all trace to an ancient line that first evolved in Africa and then displaced other hominids as recently as 50,000 years ago. Contradictory Immune Responses Explain Different Therapeutic Effects I
Using a humanized mouse model that mimics the effects of human rheumatoid arthritis (RA), researchers have discovered that cytokines in the immune system have both pro- and anti-inflammatory responses to RA that help explain why some patients respond to current therapy and others don't. By pinpointing the unique immune mechanisms involved in different forms of RA, the scientists hope to guide physicians toward more precise individualized diagnosis of RA patients and more effective therapies that target specific forms of the disease. Weight Gain Between First And Second Pregnancies Associated With Incre
Mothers who experienced an increase in weight from the beginning of the first pregnancy to the beginning of the second pregnancy may be slightly more likely to give birth to a baby boy during their second pregnancy. Early Life Stress Can Lead To Memory Loss And Cognitive Decline In Mid
Psychological stress during infancy has been found to cause early impaired memory and a decline in related cognitive abilities, according to a UC Irvine School of Medicine study. The study suggests that the emotional stress associated with parental loss, abuse or neglect may contribute to the type of memory loss during middle-age years that is normally seen in the elderly. Scientists A Step Closer To Understanding How Anaesthetics Work In The
An important clue to how anaesthetics work on the human body has been provided by the discovery of a molecular feature common to both the human brain and the great pond snail nervous system, scientists now say. Researchers hope that the discovery of what makes a particular protein in the brain sensitive to anaesthetics could lead to the development of new anaesthetics with fewer side effects.
