Zeroing in on Alzheimer's
Hereditary Alzheimer's disease has been shown to be the result of mutations in certain specific genes. Other cases of Alzheimer's are also assumed to be traceable to the influence of a number of still unidentified genes. It is probable that these genes are located in a large area on chromosome 10q, which contains more than 100 genes. Working with... view more... (2003-09-25)

Why don't more animals change their sex?
Most animals, like humans, have separate sexes - they are born, live out their lives and reproduce as one sex or the other. However, some animals live as one sex in part of their lifetime and then switch to the other sex, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. view more (2009-02-04)
