Researchers Pinpoint Molecular Basis For Phantom Pain Following Spinal Phantom pain following spinal cord injury is the result of hypersensitive neurons in the thalamic region of the brain that can be suppressed with specially designed molecular agents. Get Shorty: Pathway Toward Gene Silencing Described In Plants Biologists at Washington University in St. Louis have made an important breakthrough in understanding a pathway plant cells take to silence unwanted or extra genes using short bits of RNA. Basically, they have made it possible to see where, and how, the events in the pathway unfold within the cell, and seeing is believing, as the old saying goes. Earth Day Information for children and teachers about the celebration of Earth Day each April. The site features a history of the day (including information about U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, who introduced the idea in 1969), classroom study materials and activity suggestions, and information about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. Also includes a bibliography and links to related sites. Searchable. From the Wilderness Society. Valentine's Day: Love and Romance Through the Ages This exhibit on the history of Valentine's Day features images of early greeting cards (with 3D interactive views), symbols associated with the holiday (such as Cupid and flowers), Valentine's Day in history and literature, religious and spiritual traditions, and more. In English and French. From the Virtual Museum of Canada. Hydrogen Peroxide Has A Complex Role In Cell Health Hydrogen peroxide, the same mild acid that many people use to disinfectant their kitchens or treat cuts and abrasions, is also produced by the body to keep cells healthy. Now, researchers have solved how part of this complex process works. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... The Hive and the Honeybee: Selections from the E. F. Phillips Beekeepi This collection represents "one of the largest and most complete apiculture libraries in the world."Search and browse the full text of ten rare books, including "Mysteries of Bee-keeping Explained"(1853) and "New Observations on the Natural History of Bees"(1806). From the Albert R. Mann Library at Cornell University. Wieslander Vegetation Type Maps &Photographs A collection of over 3,000 digitized photographs of natural vegetation in California, taken during the 1920s and 1930s as part of a U.S. National Forest Service survey. Many of the photographs feature links to corresponding historical topographical maps from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Searchable, and browsable by place name (quad), species, and interactive map. From the Marian Koshland Bioscience and Natural Resources Library, University of California, Berkeley. New Pathway Identified In Angiogenesis Scientists have discovered a new biological pathway that may be useful in regulating angiogenesis, the process the body uses to build new blood vessels. The findings, published in the December issue of the journal Immunity, may offer clinicians a new way to intervene in a broad range of diseases and disorders, including cancer, heart and lung disease, wound healing and transplantation. Researchers Find New Giant Amphibian Fossils In Africa Two new 250 million year-old species of large, meat-eating amphibians have been discovered by researchers, including investigators from McGill University.
