 How Ventriloquists Trick The Brain: Sight, Sound Processed Together An
The area of the brain that processes sounds entering the ears also appears to process stimulus entering the eyes, providing a novel explanation for why many viewers believe that ventriloquists have thrown their voices to the mouths of their dummies. Complainers of the World Unite
If you love World of Warcraft or other online games, never visit the forums. The gripers will ruin it for you. Commentary by Lore Sjöberg. New Computational Model Allows For Better Understanding Of AIDS Drug
Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech have developed a computational model that allows scientists to better understand the metabolism and toxicity of the HIV/AIDS drug zidovudine (azidothymidine, AZT). Cause Of Nerve Fiber Damage In Multiple Sclerosis Identified
Researchers have identified how the body's own immune system contributes to the nerve fiber damage caused by multiple sclerosis, a finding that can potentially aid earlier diagnosis and improved treatment for this chronic disease. Cancer Stem Cell Subpopulation Drives Metastasis Of Human Pancreatic C
Scientists have identified a distinct subpopulation of cancer stem cells (CSC) that is responsible for metastasis of a deadly human pancreatic cancer. The research provides insight into the role of CSCs in cancer initiation, progression and metastasis, and suggests new directions for development of more effective therapeutics. New Way To Identify, Evolve Novel Enzymes
The creation of totally new enzymes can help improve the synthesis of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, devise new tools for molecular biology research, and develop new therapies. The new way of creating novel enzymes does not require prior understanding of exactly how the enzymes work. This is the first technique that does not depend on prior knowledge of enzyme's mechanism. Chemists Get Grip On Slippery Lipids
Findings on the structure and functions of two proteins that bind with lipids reveal new insight into cell signaling and trafficking mechanisms. The ability of the body's cells to correctly receive and convey signals is crucial to good health. Lipids, or fats, play a critical role in this regulation by providing spaces for proteins to gather and network. They are helped in this process by protein molecules called lipid binding domains. Understanding how these domains work may open up new targets of opportunity for drug development to treat illnesses such as cancer, diabetes and various inflammatory diseases. Is Exercise Really Good For Heart Failure Patients?
Cardiologists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center are helping to lead a large international study involving 83 other sites that will test 3,000 patients in an effort to determine whether exercise really is good for heart failure patients. Surgery Is An Option For Some Patients Hoping To Get A Good Night's Re
According to new research, a form of surgery called uvopalatopharyngoplasty is effective for treating certain patients who suffer from sleep apnea, one of the most common sleep disorders.
