Flies May Spread Drug-Resistant Bacteria from Poultry Operations
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found evidence that houseflies collected near broiler poultry operations may contribute to the dispersion of drug-resistant bacteria and thus increase the potential for human exposure to drug-resistant bacteria. view more (2009-03-17)
Rutgers physicists show how electrons 'gain weight' in metal compounds near absolute zero
Rutgers University physicists have performed computer simulations that show how electrons become one thousand times more massive in certain metal compounds when cooled to temperatures near absolute zero - the point where all motion ceases. view more (2007-11-02)
The meiotic histone code
Dr. Terry Orr-Weaver and colleagues (MIT & Nagasaki University School of Medicine) present the first genetic analysis of the recently identified nucleosomal histone kinase, NHK-1. view more (2005-10-17)
Pomegranate fruit shown to slow cartilage deterioration in osteoarthritis
Pomegranate fruit extracts can block enzymes that contribute to osteoarthritis according to a Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine study published in the September 2005 issue of the Journal of Nutrition. view more (2005-09-01)
Fruit and vegetable intake in pregnant women reduces risk of upper respiratory tract infection
Boston University School of Medicine researchers (BUSM) have observed in a study of pregnant women that consumption of at least seven servings per day of fruits and vegetables moderately reduced the risk of developing an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). view more (2009-07-09)
UCLA Find Yields Further Insight Into Causes of Parkinson's Disease
In humans, a dearth of the neurotransmitter dopamine has long been known to play a role in Parkinson's disease. It is also known that mutations in a protein called parkin cause a form of Parkinson's that is inherited. view more (2007-02-02)
The origins of HIV: Did flies enable HIV to jump from chimps to humans?
BLOODSUCKING flies common all over the world may have begun the HIV epidemic by spreading the virus from chimpanzees to humans. That`s the latest challenge to the established theory that game hunters became infected when HIV-laden chimpanzee blood got into open wounds. Most bloodsucking insects pose... view more...

If you think cancer genes are simple, you don't know JAK
Cancer-causing genes can work in more powerful and sneaky ways than have been realized. Scientists have shown that a gene named JAK that is closely related to a common cancer-causing gene in people tips the scales toward cancer in an unexpected manner. view more (2007-09-18)
Study shows that soda consumption increases among adolescent girls as they get older
There are growing concerns over the effects of increased consumption of sodas and fruit drinks among adolescents in the United States. view more (2006-02-24)
Extending the life of fresh cranberries
Cranberries are tart, tiny fruits packed with powerful antioxidants. The small, red berries offer a wide variety of health benefits. Not only are cranberries a healthy, low-calorie snack, but they can also play a significant role in preventing urinary tract infections, reducing the risk of gum disease and much more. view more (2008-09-30)
The man from Southampton-he says yes!
23 October 1998 How do farmers know when their tomatoes are perfect and just right for picking? Southampton researchers have harnessed the same technology used to print T-shirts to develop a simple, robust device that can be used in the field to indicate when fruit is ripe. John Atkinson, head of the University of Southampton's Thick Film Unit... view more... (1998-11-17)
Does hotter mean healthier?
Phytophthora blight, caused by Phytophthora capsici, is a major plant disease that affects many crop species worldwide, including chile peppers in New Mexico. Farmers' observations suggested that Phytophthora capsici caused less damage in pepper crops of the hot pepper varieties than low-heat pepper varieties. view more (2009-02-04)
Biological clocks of insects could lead to more effective pest control
Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered that the circadian rhythms or biological "clocks" in some insects can make them far more susceptible to pesticides at some times of the day instead of others. view more (2009-08-13)
New and improved tomato analyzer
Tomatoes come in a variety of sizes and shapes, making them the perfect subject to test shape-analyzing software. view more (2009-05-04)
Found — the apple gene for red
CSIRO researchers have located the gene that controls the colour of apples - a discovery that may lead to bright new apple varieties. view more (2006-12-04)
Eating plenty of fruit in childhood may protect against cancer in adulthood
A childhood diet rich in fruit may protect against the development of certain cancers in later life, suggests a long term study of almost 4,000 people in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The researchers based their findings on a 60 year follow up of a group of people who had completed a week's household food inventory during the... view more... (2003-02-18)
Spineless tales provide strong backbone to human brain research
University of Oregon biologist Nathan Tublitz talked about moths, flies and cephalopods, telling an audience of scientists meeting in Australia this week that research on these spineless creatures is unveiling the mechanics of how the brain regulates behavior. view more (2006-08-15)
Carnegie Mellon algorithm charts evolution of genetic networks during fruit fly life cycle
A new algorithm developed by Carnegie Mellon University computer scientists has revealed for the first time how genetic networks in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, evolve during the insect's life cycle. view more (2009-06-23)
Rockefeller researchers show evidence of asymmetric cell division in mammalian skin
It took almost 10 years for Elaine Fuchs, Ph.D., a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Rockefeller University, to find a postdoctoral fellow who shared her curiosity for the direction of cell divisions in the skin. view more (2005-08-17)
Roles of DNA packaging protein revealed by Einstein scientists
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have found that a class of chromatin proteins is crucial for maintaining the structure and function of chromosomes and the normal development of eukaryotic organisms. view more (2009-02-13)
