Scientists A Step Closer To Understanding How Anaesthetics Work In The
An important clue to how anaesthetics work on the human body has been provided by the discovery of a molecular feature common to both the human brain and the great pond snail nervous system, scientists now say. Researchers hope that the discovery of what makes a particular protein in the brain sensitive to anaesthetics could lead to the development of new anaesthetics with fewer side effects. Possible Origin Of Cosmic Rays Revealed With Gamma Rays
An international team of astronomers has produced the first ever image of an astronomical object using high energy gamma rays, helping to solve a 100 year old mystery - an origin of cosmic rays. Their research, published in the Journal Nature on November 4th, was carried out using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), an array of four telescopes, in Namibia, South-West Africa. Panasonic's Enormous 150-Inch Plasma TV Dwarfs Competitors
Panasonic steps out for CES keynote presentation in a big way, unveiling a 150-inch display it calls the Life Screen. DNA Repair Teams' Motto: 'To Protect And Serve'
When you dial 911 you expect rescuers to pull up at your front door, unload and get busy -- not park the truck down the street and eat donuts. It's the same for a cell -- just before it divides, it recruitsprotein complexes that repair breakage that may have occurred along your 46 chromosomes. Without repair, damage caused by smoking, chemical mutagens, or radiation might be passed on to the next generation. Midday Sun Holds The Key To Good Health
Scientists at The University of Manchester have today unveiled new research which claims that going out in the midday sun, without sunscreen, is good for you. Nanotech Advance Makes Carbon Nanotubes More Useful
Researchers at UCSD have made carbon nanotubes bent in sharp predetermined angles, a technical advance that could lead to use of the long, thin cylinders of carbon as tiny springs, tips for atomic force microscopes, smaller electrical connectors in integrated circuits, and in many other nanotechnology applications. Developmental Disabilities Life Opportunities Trust: Washington State
This trust, established by a bill passed by the Washington State Legislature, is "public-private partnership [that] creates a stable resource to enhance the quality of life for citizens with developmental disabilities."The background information, FAQ, and other documents on this site explain how the trust works to shelter and preserve "assets that would otherwise disqualify someone [with special needs] from government benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid."
Ibuprofen Restores Learning Ability In Rats With Liver Failure
Cognitive impairment is one of the neurological effects in patients with hepatic encephalopathy (abnormal brain function due to severe liver disease). For the first time, a new study showed that treatment with an anti-inflammatory improves cognitive function in rats induced with chronic liver failure. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... Protein Not Only Aids Nerve Development, But Promotes Blood Vessel Gro
A protein important to nerve development serves the dual purpose of stimulating the growth of blood vessels, researchers from the University of Utah School of Medicine and Stanford University have discovered. The discovery opens the possibility that blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) one day may be induced, or stymied, for therapeutic use against heart disease, cancer, and other illnesses.
