Climate change did not influence prehistoric survival techniques in the tropics
The assumption that inhabitants of the tropics adapted their technology as a result of climate change was based in part on flakes from another Colombian site, at Tequendama. Many different types of stone tools have been found there and archaeologists assumed that each of them had a special function. Flakes with concave edges, for example, were... view more...

Wound Healing - Discovery Of A New Therapeutic Strategy Against Hypertrophic Scarring
Wound healing appears generally a banal event, but in a certain proportion of cases it evolves inappropriately in hypertrophic scars resulting in skin and organ deformations. This is due to an excess of wound contraction, a phenomenon that generally helps to close the wound. Hypertrophic scarring is observed frequently in burned patients. For the... view more...

Researchers detail how aging undermines bone healing
Researchers have unraveled crucial details of how aging causes broken bones to heal slowly, or not at all, according to study results published today in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. The research team also successfully conducted preclinical tests on a potential new class of treatments designed to "rescue" healing capability... view more... (2009-01-16)
New imaging technique reveals how likely you are to break a bone
Scientists have developed a technique which can be used to reveal the strength of bones, allowing doctors to more accurately estimate the risk of bone fracture. view more (2005-10-26)
Study reveals how blood flow force prevents clogged arteries
Machines on cell surfaces, mechanical and lifeless as bed springs, protect blood vessels by responding to blood flow force, according to research published today in the Journal of Cell Biology. view more (2008-08-26)

Nanosecond-scale release of stinging jellyfish nematocysts
By using an electronic ultra-high-speed camera, researchers have characterized the explosive discharge of stinging jellyfish nematocytes and show that this event represents one of the fastest cellular processes in nature. view more (2006-05-09)
An artificial cornea is in sight, thanks to biomimetic hydrogels
If eyes are "the windows of the soul," corneas are the panes in those windows. They shield the eye from dust and germs. They also act as the eye's outermost lens, contributing up to 75 percent of the eye's focusing power. view more (2006-09-12)
Liking sweets makes sense for kids
As any parent knows, children love sweet-tasting foods. Now, new research from the University of Washington and the Monell Center indicates that this heightened liking for sweetness has a biological basis and is related to children's high growth rate. view more (2009-03-19)
