University of Sussex biologists estimate the pace of evolution
Scientists at the University of Sussex have provided the key to resolving a 30-year-old controversy in evolutionary biology: what proportion of the differences between similar species came about as a result of natural selection, and how many are just the result of 'random genetic drift'. In a paper in this week's issue of Nature (28 February),... view more... (2002-02-26)

Injection of 'skin filler' material appears to stimulate collagen production
Injections with "dermal fillers" containing hyaluronic acid appear to stimulate production of collagen, a primary protein in the skin, and may partially restore the structure of sun-damaged skin, according to an article in the February issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-02-20)
Xylitol reduces risk of cavities
The sugar substitute xylitol affects the bacterial composition of the oral cavity even in low doses. On the other hand, a relatively high intake is needed to counteract the production of acid between the teeth. view more (2007-02-16)
New studies reveal that night-time acid reflux can impact sleep
According to results of a survey presented at the 72nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, nighttime acid reflux, along with some of the less typical manifestations or symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is associated with significant sleep impairment. view more (2007-10-15)
Butterflies lose body fat during metamorphosis
A group of scientists from Oregon have discovered that butterflies experience a great loss in body fat during metamorphosis. view more (2006-03-21)
New study shows erosive esophagitis healing linked to acid control
New clinical data demonstrated, for the first time in a prospective study, a direct relationship between controlling gastric (or stomach) acid and healing erosive esophagitis caused by acid reflux disease. view more (2006-05-23)
Ice cream may target the brain before your hips, UT Southwestern study suggests
Blame your brain for sabotaging your efforts to get back on track after splurging on an extra scoop of ice cream or that second burger during Friday night's football game. view more (2009-09-14)
Fat transforms vitamin C from 'good cop' into 'bad cop'

Rheumatoid arthritis could be prevented if the timing is right
Patients diagnosed with 'undifferentiated rheumatoid' arthritis could actually have their disease outlook changed significantly if treatment is given at the right time. view more (2006-06-22)
Essential nutrient found in eggs may help lower risk of neural tube defects
Research published online in the journal Epidemiology found that higher levels of total blood choline are associated with a 2.5-fold reduction in risk for neural tube birth defects (NTDs). view more (2009-08-12)
'Fishy' clue helps establish how proteins evolve
Three billion years ago, a "new" amino acid was added to the alphabet of 20 that commonly make up proteins in organisms today. Now researchers at Yale and the University of Tokyo have demonstrated how this rare amino acid - and, by example, other amino acids - made its way into the menu for protein synthesis. view more (2009-01-28)
UAB research could improve the prognosis and treatment of lung cancer
A group of scientists led by Professor Xavier Parés of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has published a research on AKR1B10, an enzyme that is detected in large quantities only in lung cancers, particularly those caused by smoking. view more (2008-01-08)

Added sugar in raisin cereals increases acidity of dental plaque
Elevated dental plaque acid is a risk factor that contributes to cavities in children. But eating bran flakes with raisins containing no added sugar does not promote more acid in dental plaque than bran flakes alone, according to new research at the University of Illinois at Chicago. view more (2009-12-21)
