When Do Mosquitoes Prefer A Blood Banquet, Or A Sugar Feast? Three Ge
Entomologists have isolated three key genes that determine when female mosquitoes feed on blood and when they decide to switch to an all-sugar diet to fatten up for the winter. David Denlinger, professor of entomology at Ohio State University, hopes this discovery will lead scientists to other genes that help the mosquitoes survive cold weather -- in particular, those genes related to how insects handle the West Nile Virus when they enter a kind of hibernation. How you remember dance steps depends on culture: I think step to the l
Even the way people remember dance moves depends on the culture they come from, according to a new article. Whereas a German or other Westerner might think in terms of "step to the right, step to the left," a nomadic hunter-gatherer from Namibia might think something more like "step to the east, step to the west." Will Beetles Inherit The Earth? Evolutionary Study Reveals Their Long-
Most modern-day groups of beetles have been around since the time of the dinosaurs and have been diversifying ever since, says new research in Science. Beetles have displayed an exceptional ability to seize new ecological opportunities and develop a great range of life styles and feeding types. Scientists Call For Global Push To Advance Research In Synthetic Biolo
With research backgrounds ranging from materials engineering to molecular biophysics, seventeen leading scientists issued a statement announcing that, much as the discovery of DNA and creation of the transistor revolutionized science, there is a new scientific field on the brink of revolutionizing our approach to problems ranging from eco-safe energy to outbreaks of malaria: synthetic biology.

Bisphenol A, a chemical widely used in plastics and known to cause reproductive problems in the offspring of pregnant mice exposed to it, also has been found to retard the growth of follicles of adult mice and hinder their production of steroid hormones, researchers report. Their study is the first to show that chronic exposure to low doses of BPA can impair the growth and function of adult reproductive cells. Chest CT Can Be First Step To Identifying If Patient Has Had A Heart A
When radiologists are looking at contrast-enhanced chest CT examinations, they should take a look at the patient's heart to rule out heart attack, regardless of why the chest CT examination is being performed, a new study shows. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases: Easy
Collection of easy-to-understand publications on diabetes, digestive diseases (such as peptic ulcers and celiac disease), kidney diseases, and urological diseases (such as bedwetting and urinary tract infections). Publications include many simple diagrams and illustrations. From the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Protein 'Chatter'Linked To Cancer Activation
Scientists have found the existence of cross-talk between human chromosome ends and the protein complexes central to the stability of the entire human genome, a "chat"that contributes to cancer development.
