Sex-tech is emerging from the fringe to the middle of the main convention floor. But where are the webcams? Commentary by Regina Lynn. Measuring Enzymes At End Of Cancer Pathway Predicts Outcome Of Tarceva
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have developed a way to test whether the new targeted therapy Tarceva and the widely used chemotherapy drug Taxol are effectively killing tumor cells. They say that with further refinement, the test may make it possible to accurately assess whether patients are responding to these agents, as well as potentially others, within days of beginning therapy. Breastfeeding Boosts IQ In Infants With 'Helpful'Genetic Variant
The known association between breast feeding and slightly higher IQ in children has been shown to relate to a particular gene in the babies, according to a new report. Breastfeeding boosts IQ in infants who have a genetic variant that enhances their metabolism of breast milk. Scientists Uncover Rules That Govern The Rate Of Protein Evolution
A team of researchers at the California Institute of Technology, applying novel data-mining methods to the now-completed sequence of the yeast genome, have uncovered a surprising reason why different proteins evolve at different rates. Lead author Allan Drummond and his coauthors from Caltech and the Keck Graduate Institute show that the evolution of protein is governed by their ability to tolerate mistakes during their production. Researchers Identify Brain Network That May Help Prevent Or Slow Alzhe
Researchers have identified a brain network within the frontal lobe that is associated with cognitive reserve, the process that allows individuals to maintain function despite brain function decline due to aging or Alzheimer's disease. Shimmering Colors Which Change With Temperature
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces have used ion bombardment and gold metallisation to produce a new family of particles whose bonding behaviour can be chemically tailored. With these particles, scientists hope not only to be able to perform better research on the dynamics of solids and molecules. The discovery could also bring about, among other things, the development of new finishes which change their colour with temperature. (Angewandte Chemie, December 2, 47/2005.) Document of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants a
This June 2007 document features at paragraph 61 a "Drivers' 'Ten Commandments'"that is designed to promote courteous and safe behavior while on the road. Includes background about how the commandments were developed, such as on the moral aspects of driving and Christian virtues related to driving. Also includes material about "street women"(prostitutes), street children, and homeless people. Available in several languages. From the Vatican. Molecular 'Marker' On Stem Cells Aids Research, Suggests New Therapies
A sugar molecule present on embryonic stem cells also has been found on the surface of a type of adult stem cell, a discovery that may help researchers isolate and purify adult stem cells for use in therapies aimed at bone healing, tendon repair and cartilage regeneration, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report. Fly Genetics Reveal Key Workings Of Atkins Diet
Metabolic syndrome, an aging-associated group of disorders that includes insulin resistance, heart disease and high lipid levels, may be treatable thanks to a newly discovered role for a regulatory gene, according to a team of scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research. Long-term Use Of Diabetes Drug Increases Heart Attack Risk By More Tha
An analysis of four studies involving more than 14,000 patients found that long-term use of the diabetes drug rosiglitazone (Avandia) increased the risk of heart attack by 42 percent and doubled the risk of heart failure, according to a new report. There was no effect on death from cardiovascular causes.
