Some Key Laboratory Breast Cancer Cell Lines Are, Indeed, Good Models
In this era of molecular medicine, controversy among cancer researchers is increasing as to whether the laboratory cells they study -- and upon which human treatment is based -- accurately reflect the biology of "real"tumors growing in a person's body. Indigenous Water Frogs In Europe Under Threat
Indigenous water frogs can be crowded out by immigrant or imported species. This is the finding of a Franco-German study. The scientists investigated water frog populations in France and Northern Spain and noticed that the marsh frog (Rana ridibunda), which normally occurs only in Eastern Europe, has the potential to crowd out indigenous species like Graf's hybrid frog (Rana grafi) and the Iberian water frog (Rana perezi). Chimp Stone Age: West African Chimpanzees Have Been Cracking Nuts With
Researchers have found evidence that chimpanzees from West Africa were cracking nuts with stone tools before the advent of agriculture, thousands of years ago. The result suggests chimpanzees developed this behaviour on their own, or even that stone tool use was a trait inherited from our common ancestor. Women With Severe PMS Perceive Their Sleep Quality To Be Poor
Women with severe premenstrual syndrome perceive their sleep quality to be poorer in association with their symptoms in the late luteal phase, despite there being no specific alterations in sleep structure associated with premenstrual symptoms. Researchers Discover Why Melanoma Is So Malignant
If not caught in the early stages, melanoma can be a particularly virulent form of cancer, spreading through the body with an efficiency that few tumors possess. Now, researchers at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research have discovered one of the reasons why this particular skin tumor is so ruthless. Unlike other cancers, melanoma is born with its metastatic engines fully revved. Working Heroes: Men and Women Who Shaped America's Labor Movement
Brief biographies of U.S. labor leaders. Individuals include César Chávez ("folk hero and symbol of hope who organized a union of farmworkers"), Eugene Debs ("apostle of industrial unionism"), George Meany ("builder of the modern AFL-CIO"), and Frances Perkins ("committed labor secretary and first woman in a presidential cabinet position"). From the AFL-CIO. Researchers To ImproveProstate Cancer Diagnostic Methods
Pioneering research to increase the accuracy of prostate cancer diagnoses has earned Rutgers University and its collaborators at the University of Pennsylvania $822,000 in research grants. The methods being developed use powerful high resolution MRI and computer-aided diagnosis techniques to reveal previously hidden cancerous tissue in prostate glands. Disrupting Common Parasites'Ability To 'Talk'To Each Other Reduces Inf
One of the most common human parasites, Toxoplasma gondii, uses a hormone lifted from the plant world to decide when to increase its numbers and when to remain dormant, researchers have found. Scientists report that they successfully blocked production of the molecule, known as abscisic acid, with a plant herbicide. Low herbicide doses prevented fatal T. gondii infection in mice.
