 No Psychological Risk In Children Next-Born After Stillbirth, Study Su
There is no evidence that children next-born after stillbirth are clinically at risk compared to children of non-bereaved mothers, according to a new study. However, the study did find evidence of less optimal mother-child interaction. Slippery Salmonella: Proteomics Exposes An Infectious Agent Of Decepti
How Salmonella escapes detection by macrophages, turning predator cells to prey complicit in promoting infection, has seemed impossibly complicated, a needle-in-a-haystack proposition involving thousands of proteins, the building blocks that carry out cells' vital functions. Now, applying the high-volume sorting and analytical power of proteomics -- a detailed survey of microbial proteins present in the 24 hours that follow mouse-macrophage infection -- a team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has turned up a suspect protein.

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Zebrafish Study Shows Key Enzyme In Gut I

Silence in music is not really silent. Research by a University of Arkansas music theorist, Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, reveals how context affects listeners'experience of silence in music. When a listener encounters silence in a musical work, Margulis wrote, "Impressions of the music that preceded the silence seep into the gap, as do expectations about what may follow." Focus On The Wild Could Avert Plant Pollination Threat
The global threat to the pollination of flowers and food production crops, highlighted by a dramatic decline in honeybee colonies, could be eased by a renewed focus on ‘wild’ pollinators. Agri-environment schemes that encourage farmers to create bee-friendly habitats could be the key to increasing numbers of valuable wild pollinators like bumblebees in the wider countryside. Voyager Spacecraft Enters Solar System's Final Frontier
