Dictyostelium cells shown to lay 'breadcrumb trail' as first step in multicellular formation
When starved of their food source and then presented with a chemoattractant signal like cAMP, individual Dictyostelium cells acquire a polarized morphology and aggregate to form a migrating stream.   view more (2008-12-01)

Unlocking biological secrets: Cornell scientists build 'nano-keys' to bind cell receptors and trigger allergic reactions
The tumblers of life continue to click as Cornell University researchers have fabricated a set of "nano-keys" on the molecular scale to interact with receptors on cell membranes and trigger larger-scale responses within cells - such as the release of histamines in an allergic response.   view more (2006-02-17)

Rome was built in a day, with hundreds of thousands of digital photos
The ancient city of Rome was not built in a day. It took nearly a decade to build the Colosseum, and almost a century to construct St. Peter's Basilica. But now the city, including these landmarks, can be digitized in just a matter of hours.   view more (2009-09-16)

Psychological Factors May Hamper Cardiac Rehabilitation
A group of Italian researchers, headed by Chiara Rafanelli (University of Bologna) reported on the importance of psychological factors such as irritable mood and demoralization in the setting of cardiac rehabilitation in the Nov-Dec 2003 issue of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics. While there has been an upsurge of interest in the psychiatric... view more... (2003-10-22)

Low-carb diet better than low-fat diet at improving metabolic syndrome
Diabetes and cardiovascular disease associated with it. In an article published today in the open access journal Nutrition & Metabolism, Jeff Volek and Richard Feinman review the literature and show that the features of metabolic syndrome are precisely those that are improved by reducing carbohydrates in the diet.   view more (2005-11-16)
