The laboratory that built the atomic bomb will continue to be managed by the University of California, continuing a relationship that goes back to the establishment of Los Alamos in 1943. Possible Key To Autoimmune Disease
A self DNA-peptide complex triggers an immune response like that caused by a virus or other invading microbe. Researchers believe this response is both a likely key driver of autoimmune disease and an integral part of an early warning system that flags tissue damage to launch a protective inflammatory response to injury. First Evidence Of Stem Cells In Pancreatic Tumors
University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have discovered the small number of cells in pancreatic cancer that are capable of fueling the tumor's growth. The finding is the first identification of cancer stem cells in pancreatic tumors. Small Furry Mammal Was Capable Of Gliding Flight Possibly Before Birds
An American Museum of Natural History paleontologist and his colleagues have named a new order of mammals based on their description of a fossil of a bat- or squirrel-sized Mesozoic mammal, called Volaticotherium antiquus (meaning "ancient gliding beast"), which was capable of gliding flight. The rock beds that yielded the fossil date to at least 125 million years ago, so the new fossil extends the earliest record for gliding flight in mammals by 70 million years or more and indicates that mammals experimented with gliding flight and aerial life at about the same time that birds first took to the skies, possibly even earlier.
