Mothers'Baby Cradling Habits Are Indicator Of Stress, Suggests New Res
Mothers who cradle their baby to their right hand side are displaying signs of extreme stress, a new study suggests. Although most mums feel stressed in the early stages of their baby's life, the study suggests their baby cradling habits are a key indicator of whether this stress could become overwhelming and lead to depression. Rules governing RNA's anatomy revealed
Researchers have discovered the rules that dictate the 3-D shapes of RNA molecules, rules that are based not on complex chemical interactions but simply on geometry. Women Overestimate Breast Cancer Risk, Study Finds
When asked to estimate the lifetime risk of breast cancer, 89 percent of women overestimated their risk, with an average estimate of 46 percent -- more than three times the actual risk of 13 percent, according to a study by University of Michigan Health System researchers. Nano-Probes Allow An Inside Look At Cell Nuclei
Nanotechnology may be in its infancy, but biologists may soon use it to watch the inner workings of a living cell like never before. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a way to sneak nano-sized probes inside cell nuclei where they can track life's fundamental processes, such as DNA repair, for hours on end. Alcohol Amount, Not Type -- Wine, Beer, Liquor -- Triggers Breast Canc
One of the largest individual studies of the effects of alcohol on the risk of breast cancer has concluded that it makes no difference whether a woman drinks wine, beer or spirits -- it is the alcohol itself and the quantity consumed that is likely to trigger the onset of cancer.

In order to increase productivity, forest practices have become more intense in recent decades. Forest fertilization increased by 800% in the southeastern United States from 1990 to 1999, and the total acreage fertilized in the Southeast exceeds the forest area fertilized in the rest of the world. This has generated concern that intensive forest practices, including fertilization, may negatively impact water quality in forest streams. Recurrent Genetic Deletion Linked To Autism, Study Shows
Loss of a small portion of chromosome 16, known as 16p11.2, is significantly associated with autism researchers report in the journal Human Molecular Genetics. Although this genetic microdeletion occurred in only 4 out of 712 subjects with autism (0.6 percent), it is the second most common recurrent genomic disorder associated with autism, which affects about 1 out of 160 children in the United States. Delay In Autumn Color Caused By Increased Carbon Dioxide Not Global Wa
The delay in autumnal leaf coloration and leaf fall in trees is caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and not by increased global temperatures according to a new study. In recent years, woodland autumnal color changes have been occurring later in the season whilst re-greening in spring has been occurring earlier. New 'Movement Ecology' Discipline Takes Off
Movement ecology is on the move, with the world's first international research group on this topic having begun its work this fall at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Institute for Advanced Studies.
