Of Yeast And Men: Unraveling The Molecular Mechanisms Of Friedreich's
Scientists have created an experimental model that produces large-scale expansion of GAA repeats during DNA replication, which is the cause of Friedreich's Ataxia. With this model, the researchers are able to analyze GAA repeat expansions and then identify cellular proteins that thwarted normal replication and promoted the elongated sequence. Vintage Sci-Fi Magazine Crack
Jim Bumgardner's "coverpop" conglomeration turns classic mag covers into fascinating, interactive art. In Table of Malcontents. Study Shows Climate Warming To Shrink Key Water Supplies Around The Wo
In the looming future, global warming will reduce glaciers and storage packs of snow in regions around the world, causing water shortages and other problems that will impact millions of people. That is the conclusion of researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Washington in a review paper published in the November 17 issue of the journal Nature. New Insight Into Factors That Drive Muscle-building Stem Cells
There is a new explanation for how stem cells known as satellite cells contribute to building muscles up in response to exercise. These findings could lead to treatments for reversing or improving the muscle loss that occurs in diseases such as cancer and AIDS as well as in the normal aging process. UF Study: Bigfoot Myth Persists Because It Depicts Humans' Wild Side
There's plenty to debunk about the Bigfoot myth, but people may not listen because they have a love-hate relationship with the gigantic hairy monster, says a University of Florida researcher. Temporary Weight Gain Over The Winter Holidays... Might Be A Good Thin
We are admonished not to gain weight during winter's two big eating holidays -- but might a little temporary fat actually strengthen our immune systems? U.S. Seminaries Under Scrutiny
Radio program transcript from October 2005 about how "America's 229 Catholic seminaries ... are currently getting the once-over from a team of inspectors sent by Rome in what some commentators are describing as a witch-hunt for homosexuals and liberals."Also includes a copy of the "Instrumentum Laboris,"the "list of questions that are being put to every seminarian and every seminary professor,"and links to related information. From the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). High-fat, Copper-rich Diets Associated With Increased Rates Of Cogniti
Among older adults whose diets are high in saturated and trans fats, a high intake of copper may be associated with an accelerated rate of decline in thinking, learning and memory abilities, according to a report in the August issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. World's Only Ultrafast Electron Microscope Takes 4-D 'Movies'Of Molecu
A unique electron microscope that can help create four-dimensional "movies"of molecules may hold the answers to research questions in a number of fields including chemistry, biology, and physics. Cool-Water Wash For Eggs Can Help Prevent Microbial Contamination
Using cooler water to wash shell eggs during a second washing can help cool them quicker. This reduces the potential of foodborne pathogen growth both inside the eggs and on the eggshell surface, according to scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS).
