Nerve Regeneration: Cyclopeptides Imitate Structure And Effect Of Carb
A team of researchers at the Universities of Bielefeld and Hamburg (Germany) has produced cyclopeptides that imitate the HNK-1 carbohydrate from human natural killer cells. It boosts motor neuron axon growth, the growth of the fibers of muscle nerve cells. Defense Mechanism Found In Infected Ticks May Protect Against Harmful
A defense molecule isolated in ticks infected with the Babesia sp. parasite may protect animals and humans against infection. Higher Risk Of Obesity For Children Neglected By Parents
Spending more time and giving more attention to your child may mean the difference between a lean or obese child, finds a new study. Three types of three categories of child maltreatment in the prior year were assessed: neglect (such as not providing proper supervision for the child), corporal punishment (such as spanking the child on the bottom with a bare hand) and psychological aggression (such as threatening to spank the child but not actually doing it).

Includes photos. From The New York Times. Conflicting Attitudes Hinder Participation In Clinical Trials
Women have conflicting attitudes about participating in clinical trials because of uncertainties about trusting the experimenters, fear of the trial itself and hope that the research will result in medical progress, according to a new study at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Proteins Pack Tighter In Crowded Native State
The syrupy soup of proteins, ribosomes and membranes inside a living cell is so tightly packed it may increase the structural content of proteins by as much as 25 percent, according to new research. The study is one of the first aimed at determining how the crowded environment inside a living cell affects protein structure. Review: More Horror Than Sci-Fi, 'Daybreakers' Makes Decent Vampire Ro
Bloodsuckers are starving in 2019, and it's not a pretty sight. What starts as a novel science fiction concept gives way to run-of-the-mill gore, but the tag-team duo of Willem Dafoe and Ethan Hawke gives this weirdly amusing movie a boost.
 Young Children's Defiance Toward Mothers May Be Part Of Health Develop
New results suggest that defiance toward their mothers when children are very young, may reflect confidence and early autonomy. Researchers worked with 119 mothers and their 14- to 27-month-old children using play time interactions as a means of study. Although high levels of defiance at slightly older ages may be problematic, the research shows that at this age, defiance is part of healthy development. New Study To Test Statin-Parkinson's Link
Results of a recent study linking low LDL cholesterol to Parkinson's provide the strongest evidence to date that it could be real, because statins work by reducing LDL cholesterol. The study by researchers at University of North Carolina showed that patients with low levels of LDL cholesterol are more than three and a half times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than those with higher LDL levels.
