Volkswagen 'Nazi' Subpoena Points Up Social-Networking Privacy Policie
Volkswagen files a subpoena for the identity of a YouTube user who posted a Nazi-themed parody of a recent VW Golf commercial. The move highlights the privacy risks for users of video-sharing and social-networking sites, and no law requires the sites need to notify users of those subpoenas. Study Shows Enzyme Linked To Spread Of Breast Cancer Cells
Researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center have found a new signaling component that influences movement of human breast cancer cells toward epidermal growth factor. Molecular Partners Required For Appropriate Neuronal Gene Repression
A new study by researchers at The Wistar Institute offers insights into the intricate biochemistry governing gene regulation, while simultaneously pointing to the importance of investigating the complex biology of life at different levels of organization. The findings may also have long-term implications for treating depression and other psychiatric disorders. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
The government plans to crack down on the scam used by faux beggars in growing numbers for a kind of "emotional blackmail", a cabinet minister was quoted as saying... Aggressive Heart Pacing May Work Best In Some Spinal Cord Patients
Patients with recurring problems with the heart slowing or stopping after a neck injury damages their cervical spinal cord may need aggressive therapy to avoid further cardiovascular problems and even death, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. Developing Nanotechnology To Test Food Quality
Researchers have created two tiny instruments capable of detecting a range of contaminants, from molecules to whole bacteria, in food and water, according to an article in the August issue of Microbiology Today. Cantilevers are miniature diving boards that measure 200 micrometers long and 40 micrometers wide, about half the width of a human hair. Two cantilevers are placed in a sensor and liquid is passed through them. When the molecule or microbe that is being looked for binds to its surface, the board bends and its electrical resistance is altered. Detection is achieved by measuring the change in resistance. Penn State Researchers Discover New Tumor-suppressor Gene
A new tumor-suppressor gene has been discovered by a team of researchers at Penn State, which also has discovered how the gene works with another tumor suppressor to control tissue growth. New Evidence Finds An Association Between Periodontal Disease And Stro
People missing some or all of their teeth or who have significant loss of bone and tissue surrounding their teeth may be at an increased risk for having a stroke, according to a new study that appeared in the October issue of the Journal of Periodontology (JOP). Women More Depressed And Men More Impulsive With Reduced Serotonin Fun
Women and men appear to respond differently to the same biochemical manipulation. Major depressive disorder is one of the most common mental disorders, and it is also one of the most studied. A new study shows important sex and genetic differences in the way that men and women react to reductions in serotonin function, specifically in terms of their mood and impulsivity.
