European Study Highlights Persistent 3 Decade Increase In Childhood Ca
Research from 19 European countries in this week's issue of THE LANCET documents how childhood cancer, while still rare, has been slowly increasing over the past 3 decades. Plant Study Reveals New Insights Into How Genomes Work
Cells keep a close watch over the transcriptome -- the totality of all parts of the genome that are expressed in any given cell at any given time. Researchers have peeled back another layer of transcriptional regulation and gain new insight into how genomes work. Molecule Walks Like A Human -- Potential Applications In Molecular Com
A research team, led by UC Riverside's Ludwig Bartels, is the first to design a molecule that can move in a straight line on a flat surface. It achieves this by closely mimicking human walking. The "nano-walker"offers a new approach for storing large amounts of information on a tiny chip and demonstrates that concepts from the world we live in can be duplicated at the nanometer scale -- the scale of atoms and molecules. A Small RNA That Neutralizes A Protein Linked To Tumor Development
The strategy used to select aptamers that bind a tyrosine kinase mutated in certain cancers holds promise for targeting other members of this biomedically important class of proteins. Wireless Sensors Monitor World
Networks of low-res cameras and sensors could monitor urban environments for diverse data -- traffic flow, pollutants, structural integrity -- online. By the Associated Press. Remembering the Oklahoma City Bombing
This page provides links to resources about the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing.

This 162-page report examines volunteering, community-based efforts, and other civic engagement opportunities for the baby boom generation (people born in the United States during the later 1940s through the early 1960s). "The main message of the Report is that there is an opportunity to help boomers create a social legacy of profound importance."Opens directly into a PDF file.

The first few days at school can be an anxious time as children face the challenge of a new environment and making new friends but according to new research children show signs of stress three to six months before term even starts. Why a preschool child should be anxious about an event so far in the future is something of a mystery but the scientists speculate that parents were getting stressed about their children starting school and that their stress was being passed on to the children. The Ecology Of Fear: Wolves Gone, Western Ecosystems Suffer
Research about wolves that began in Yellowstone National Park has been replicated in an adjacent area, and a growing body of evidence leads scientists to conclude that this historic predator may have an ecological impact far more important than realized in the American West.
