Plant studies reveal how, where seeds store iron
Biologists have learned where and how some plant seeds store iron, a valuable discovery for scientists working to improve the iron content of plants. Their research helps address the worldwide problem of iron deficiency and malnutrition in humans.   view more (2006-11-03)

Alloy of hydrogen and oxygen made from water
Water, the only indispensable ingredient of life, is just about the most versatile stuff on Earth. Depending on its temperature we can heat our homes with it, bathe in it, and even strap on skates and glide across it, to name only the most common of its many forms. When subjected to high pressures,... view more (2006-10-27)

Nevada Terawatt Facility makes important advancement in unraveling mysteries of fusion energy
Unraveling one of most grandiose and heady problems in physics - the creation of controlled fusion energy - is still decades away.   view more (2006-10-26)

The glutamate decarboxylase 1 gene may play a pivotal role in developing alcoholism
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA has been implicated in the development of alcoholism, although the mechanisms through which this occurs are unclear.   view more (2006-10-25)

New study shows how genetic repair mechanism helps seal DNA breaks
As the genetic material, DNA is surprisingly reactive and under continuous assault from environmental toxins and reactive cellular metabolites, so a means of repairing DNA damage is essential to maintaining the integrity of our genetic blueprint for future generations.   view more (2006-10-23)

How brain injury leads to seizures, memory problems
In a finding that may provide a scientific basis for eventual treatment, neurology researchers have shown that traumatic brain injury reduces the level of a protein that helps keep brain activity in balance.   view more (2006-10-19)

Possible evidence of cell division, differentiation found in oldest known embryo fossils
A group of 15 scientists from five countries has discovered evidence of cell differentiation in fossil embryos that are more than 550 million years old.   view more (2006-10-13)

UCF researchers' breakthrough may help industry create more powerful computer chips
A University of Central Florida research team has made a substantial inroad toward establishing extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) as a primary power source for manufacturing the next generation of computer chips.   view more (2006-10-12)

New blood tests aid detection of latent tuberculosis
Thanks to the availability of two new blood tests called T-SPOT.TB and QuantiFERON-TB Gold, physicians around the world can better detect latent tuberculosis (TB) infection.   view more (2006-10-02)

Loma Linda University research confirms antioxidant-rich pecans protect against unhealthy oxidation
A new research study from Loma Linda University (LLU) shows that adding just a handful of pecans to your diet each day may inhibit unwanted oxidation of blood lipids, thus helping reduce the risk of heart disease.   view more (2006-09-29)

Finger length ratio may predict women's sporting prowess
The difference between the lengths of a woman's index and ring fingers may indicate her sporting prowess, suggests research published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.   view more (2006-09-28)

Iowa State researchers helping to take the natural gas out of ethanol production
It takes a lot of natural gas to run an ethanol plant. A plant needs steam to liquefy corn starch and heat to distill alcohol and more heat to dry the leftover distillers grains.   view more (2006-09-27)

Insulin receptor stops progression of Alzheimer's disease
Stimulation of a receptor in the brain that controls insulin responses has been shown to halt or diminish the neurodegeneration of Alzheimer's disease, providing evidence that the disease can be treated in its early stages.   view more (2006-09-22)

Hopkins study reveals white blood cells can both hurt and help transplanted kidneys
In an example of biological irony, the same white blood cell chemistry known to damage kidneys used for transplants may also help prevent such damage, according to a federally funded study in genetically engineered mice at Johns Hopkins.   view more (2006-09-21)

At the core
A few years ago, chemical analyses of deep sea muds that used a new X-ray technology were able to help explain why the Classic Mayan civilization collapsed more than a thousand years ago.   view more (2006-09-20)

New study pinpoints unique genetic susceptibility for viral encephalitis
In the study, the researchers suggest that herpes simplex encephalitis may reflect a single gene immunodeficiency that confers susceptibility to herpes simplex virus, an idea that contrasts with the prevailing scientific theory of how genes work to make people vulnerable to infections.   view more (2006-09-18)

Researchers image molecular motor structural changes
