Reconstructed 1918 influenza virus induces immune response that fails to protect
An analysis of mice infected with the reconstructed 1918 influenza virus has revealed that although the infection triggered a very strong immune system response, the response failed to protect the animals from severe lung disease and death. view more (2006-09-28)
Tulane researcher reports on origin of deadly fever outbreak
Bats or other cave dwelling animals may have been responsible for the deadly 1998-2000 outbreak of Marburg hemorrhagic fever among gold miners in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. view more (2006-09-14)
Scientist's persistence sheds light on marine science riddle
When he started compiling an online database of seashells 15 years ago, Dr. Gary Rosenberg did not envision that his meticulous record-keeping would eventually shed light on a 40-year-old evolutionary debate. view more (2006-09-08)
A Novel Mechanism of Manganese-Induced Neurological Dysfunction Discovered
For decades, scientists have known that chronic exposure to high concentrations of the metal manganese can cause movement abnormalities resembling symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but apparently without the same neuron damage characteristic of Parkinson's patients. view more (2006-08-29)
Viruses can jump between primates and humans, researchers warn
Viruses that jump the species barrier between monkeys and humans can harm both people and animals, and we should take steps to reduce the risk of virus transmission. view more (2006-08-24)
Breaks in hibernation help fight bugs
A habit in some animals to periodically wake up while hibernating may be an evolutionary mechanism to fight bacterial infection, according to researchers at Penn State. view more (2006-08-17)
Alzheimer's medication shows promise in treating nerve agent and pesticide poisoning
A medication used to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease can be used to protect people against the toxic effects of nerve agents and certain insecticides. view more (2006-08-08)
Nicotine Found to Protect Against Parkinson's-Like Brain Damage
New research suggests that nicotine treatment protects against the same type of brain damage that occurs in Parkinson's disease. view more (2006-08-08)
Moving wildlife detrimental to oral rabies vaccination project
On August 8, 2006, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services (WS), will begin releasing approximately 300,000 Oral Rabies Vaccination (ORV) baits from low-flying aircraft and by car in Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, and Wise... view more...

Elephants avoid costly mountaineering
Using global-positioning system data corresponding to the movements of elephants across the African savannah, researchers have found that elephants exhibit strong tendencies to avoid significantly sloped terrain, and that such land features likely represent a key influence on elephant movements and land use. view more (2006-07-25)
Long-term ibuprofen regimen after brain injury worsens cognition in animal study
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that chronic ibuprofen therapy given after brain injury worsens cognitive abilities. view more (2006-07-24)
Paleontologists establish first age distribution of non-avian dinosaur population
For the first time, scientists have established the age structure of a non-avian dinosaur population. Using this information, they inferred which factors led to survival or death of group members. view more (2006-07-17)
UGA researchers find that hunting can increase the severity of wildlife disease epidemics
A new study by University of Georgia researchers shows that the common practice of killing wild animals to control disease outbreaks can actually make matters worse in some cases. view more (2006-07-17)
Salk scientists get to the root of plant cell fate
When Robert Burns compared his love to a red, red rose, he definitely wasn't referring to a topless mutant. That's because rather than being topped by a lovely, fragrant bloom, a rose mutant in the gene known as TOPLESS would be crowned by a homely second root. view more (2006-06-09)
Rhesus monkeys in Nepal may provide new alternative for HIV/AIDS research
Scientists investigating the genetic makeup of rhesus macaque monkeys, a key species used in biomedical research, have found the rhesus in Nepal may provide a suitable alternative to alleviate a critical shortage of laboratory animals used in work to develop vaccines against diseases such as HIV/AIDS. view more (2006-06-01)
Hebrew University researchers uncover eight previously unknown species
Discovery of eight previously unknown, ancient animal species within "a new and unique underground ecosystem" in Israel was revealed today by Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers. view more (2006-05-31)
Scientists develop first comprehensive theory explaining Madagascar's rich biodiversity
An international team of scientists has developed an explanation for why Madagascar has such a wealth of animals found only on this island. view more (2006-05-19)
Dragonfly migration resembles that of birds, scientists say
Scientists have discovered that migrating dragonflies and songbirds exhibit many of the same behaviors, suggesting the rules that govern such long-distance travel may be simpler and more ancient than was once thought. view more (2006-05-11)
Evolution reveals an independent route for diversity in animal form
Researchers have found that Cnidaria, a group of marine animals noted for diverse morphology among its constituent species, actually lacks the ancient "Hox" gene system that is essential for the development of most other animals. view more (2006-05-05)
Scientists discover a genetic switch that links animal growth and cancer
Laboratory discoveries by scientists at two universities may lead to new directions in cancer therapy drugs. view more (2006-04-18)
