Key new ingredient in climate model refines global predictions
For the first time, climate scientists from across the country have successfully incorporated the nitrogen cycle into global simulations for climate change, questioning previous assumptions regarding carbon feedback and potentially helping to refine model forecasts about global warming.   view more (2009-10-12)

Award for ecological product design
This year, the Lillehammer Award was given to the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM for its contribution to the EUREKA CARE project (Ageing and Materials). Helle Hammer, State Secretary at the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry, presented the award to Hansjörg Griese, head of the Institute's environmental... view more... (2002-07-22)

Mutant rats offer clues to medical mystery
A research project at Rice University has brought scientists to the brink of comprehending a long-standing medical mystery that may link cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and perhaps even Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2009-02-18)

Infant play drives chimpanzee respiratory disease cycles
The signature boom-bust cycling of childhood respiratory diseases was long attributed to environmental cycling.   view more (2008-06-18)

New fruit fly protein illuminates circadian response to light
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a new protein required for the circadian response to light in fruit flies.   view more (2006-06-30)

Protein that controls hair growth also keeps stem cells slumbering
Like fine china and crystal, which tend to be used sparingly, stem cells divide infrequently. It was thought they did so to protect themselves from unnecessary wear and tear.   view more (2008-01-25)

ESA contributes to ocean carbon cycle research
The Earth's oceans play a vital role in the carbon cycle, making it imperative that we understand marine biological activity enough to predict how our planet will react to the extra 25 000 million tonnes of carbon dioxide humans are pumping into the atmosphere annually.   view more (2008-05-06)

Combining NSAIDs with chemotherapy, radiation may improve cancer treatment
Until recently, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and celecoxib (sold as Celebrex), were being hailed as promising cancer prevention drugs.   view more (2007-05-18)

Newly appreciated membrane estrogen receptor important therapeutic target for breast cancer
New research at Rhode Island Hospital has uncovered the biological effects of a novel membrane estrogen receptor, a finding that has potential implications for hormonal therapy for breast cancer.   view more (2009-07-02)

Nuclear cannibals
Nuclear energy production must increase by more than 10 percent each year from 2010 to 2050 to meet all future energy demands and replace fossil fuels, but this is an unsustainable prospect.   view more (2008-03-05)

Women with severe PMS perceive their sleep quality to be poor
Women with severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS) perceive their sleep quality to be poorer in association with their symptoms in the late luteal (premenstrual) phase, despite there being no specific alterations in sleep structure associated with premenstrual symptoms.   view more (2007-10-01)

Where climate is made in a greenhouse world
New scientific results for the Late Cretaceous greenhouse indicate radically different climatic mechanisms operating about 75-90 million years ago compared to the ones that control today's climate.   view more (2006-06-02)

Poor sleep is associated with lower relationship satisfaction in both women and men
A bidirectional association exists between couples' sleep quality and the quality of their relationship.   view more (2009-06-10)

Ice core studies confirm accuracy of climate models
An analysis has been completed of the global carbon cycle and climate for a 70,000 year period in the most recent Ice Age, showing a remarkable correlation between carbon dioxide levels and surprisingly abrupt changes in climate.   view more (2008-09-12)

Prenatal alcohol exposure can alter circadian rhythms in offspring
Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) suffer from a variety of behavioral alterations. For example, they may exhibit alterations in sleeping and eating patterns, which may indicate that their circadian systems - which control biological rhythms - have been affected by alcohol exposure during development.   view more (2006-04-24)

Hormone therapy for prostate cancer patients with heart conditions linked to increased death risk
Men with coronary artery disease-induced congestive heart failure or heart attack who receive hormone therapy before or along with radiation therapy for treatment of prostate cancer have an associated increased risk of death.   view more (2009-08-26)

Green lanes research
EARLY MORNINGS IN STORE FOR CYCLING BIRD RESEARCHER A RESEARCHER at Staffordshire University will be getting on his bike to search out early birds in the ancient green lanes of Cheshire. Mike Walker, aged 23, from Chester, is to study whether green lanes - sunken routes that criss-cross the British countryside - provide a more valuable habitat for... view more... (2002-03-15)

Hungry microbes share out the carbon in the roots of plants
Sugars made by plants are rapidly used by microbes living in their roots, according to new research at the University of York, creating a short cut in the carbon cycle that is vital to life on earth.   view more (2007-10-19)

Potential dangers of long term tamoxifen use
Tamoxifen prolongs the life of women with breast cancer and may significantly reduce the risk of developing the disease in those with an inherited tendency. But, suggests a leading article in the Journal of Clinical Pathology, long term use may produce other serious abnormalities, including cancer.   view more (1999-02-12)
