Global Warming Is Reducing Ocean Life, Increasing Atmospheric Carbon D
Alarming new satellite data show that the warming of the world's oceans is reducing ocean life while contributing to increased global warming. The ocean's food chain is based upon the growth of billions upon billions of microscopic plants. New satellite data show that ocean warming is reducing these plants --- thus imperiling ocean fisheries and marine life, according to an article in the Nov. 7 issue of the scientific journal Nature.

Study Questions Squeaky-clean Reputation Of Service Industries In Clim
Service industries like banking, health care, and telecommunications may have a squeaky-clean reputation when it comes to industrial pollution, but they are responsible for amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that actually are comparable to those of traditional manufacturing industries, a new study has found.

Grid Computing, The New Commodity
Researchers have created a platform for trading computing resources that allows the selling and buying of standardized computing resources. In the process, they could make computing a utility like electricity.

Single Stem Cells From Bone Heal A Broken Heart
Myocardial infarction results in irreversible damage to the heart that can cause congestive heart failure. The lasting damage results from the limited ability of the myocardium to regenerate and self-repair. Douglas Losordo and colleagues from Tufts University now document the existence of a previously unrecognized subset of human bone marrow--derived stem cells with therapeutic potency for myocardial tissue regeneration following myocardial infarction.

LCROSS Impact Analysis Indicates Water On Moon
The argument that the moon is a dry, desolate place no longer holds water. Preliminary data from the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, indicates that the mission successfully uncovered water during the Oct. 9, 2009 impacts into the permanently shadowed region of Cabeus cater near the moon's south pole.

Chromatin Remodeling Complex Connected To DNA Damage Control
When molecular disaster strikes, causing structural damage to DNA, players in two important pathways talk to each other to help contain the wreckage, scientists report.

Genes Involved In Rheumatoid Arthritis Identified
The human genome has now been thoroughly screened in the hunt for the genetic causes of rheumatoid arthritis. The results both confirm previous hypotheses and turn the spotlight on entirely new genes.

Cells From Amniotic Fluid Used To Tissue-engineer A New Trachea
Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston report using tissue engineering to reconstruct defective windpipes in fetal lambs, first using cells from the amniotic fluid to grow sections of cartilage tube, and then implanting these living grafts into the lambs while still in the womb. The technique is one of several pioneered at Children's that use the fetus's own cells -- unspecialized mesenchymal stem cells -- to create patches to fix birth defects, in this case even before birth.

Coastal Retreat In Face Of Rising Sea Levels Found To Be Influenced By
The retreat of coastlines due to rising sea levels may be accelerated by wildfires, a Duke University researcher has discovered. In the absence of such fires, forests can slow the encroachment, he found.
