Moved by the State - the reality of modern day human migration in the northern Polar Regions
Seasonal nomadism, migration, and resettlement have always been important for the people living in the northern Polar Regions as these movements are key for their survival. In the past, such movements were usually triggered by the local conditions which their continued existence is affected by activities such as aggregation in temporary winter... view more...

Catastrophic flooding changes the course of British history
A catastrophic megaflood separated Britain from France hundreds of thousands of years ago, changing the course of British history, according to research published in the journal Nature today. view more (2007-07-19)
Researchers restore missing protein in rare genetic brain disorder
UCSF researchers have successfully used protease inhibitors to restore to normal levels a key protein involved in early brain development. Reduced levels of that protein have been shown to cause the rare brain disorder lissencephaly, which is characterized by brain malformations, seizures, severe mental retardation and very early death in human... view more...

Most ancient case of tuberculosis found in 500,000-year-old human; points to modern health issues
Although most scientists believe tuberculosis emerged only several thousand years ago, new research from The University of Texas at Austin reveals the most ancient evidence of the disease has been found in a 500,000-year-old human fossil from Turkey. view more (2007-12-07)

Protein in human hair shows promise for regenerating nerves
A protein found in human hair shows promise for promoting the regeneration of nerve tissue and could lead to a new treatment option when nerves are cut or crushed from trauma. view more (2008-01-11)
Possible cause and potential treatment found for aggressive head and neck cancer
Researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center report that they have found a potential molecular cause for the aggressive growth and spread of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, a highly malignant form of cancer with a very high death rate. view more (2006-04-24)
A second career for a growth factor receptor: keeping nerve axons on target
Neurons constituting the optic nerve wire up to the brain in a highly dynamic way. Cell bodies in the developing retina sprout processes, called axons, which extend toward visual centers in the brain, lured by attractive cues and making U-turns when they take the wrong path. view more (2008-09-12)
Warming most evident at high latitudes, but greatest impact will be in tropics
The impact of global warming has become obvious in high latitude regions, including Alaska, Siberia and the Arctic, where melting ice and softening tundra are causing profound changes. view more (2005-08-15)
Contribution of cholesterol transporter to vascular disease
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a transporter of cholesterol, may also contribute to vascular diseases by a previously unidentified mechanism, according to a report published online this week in EMBO reports. view more (2007-10-26)
Freshwater supplies threatened in central Pacific
An international team from The Australian National University, Ecowise Environmental, the Government of the Republic of Kiribati, the French agency CIRAD and the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission has been studying the impacts of natural and human-induced changes on groundwater in the central Pacific nation of Kiribati since 1996. view more (2007-08-15)
Yale engineers track bacteria's kayak paddle-like motion for first time
Yale engineers have for the first time observed and tracked E. coli bacteria moving in a liquid medium with a motion similar to that of a kayak paddle. view more (2009-09-28)
New insights into neural tube defects
Environmental and genetic factors lead to neural tube defects in 1 in every 1,000 births and cause 1 in 20 of every spontaneous abortion. One cause of these defects is the failure of cells within the neural tube to migrate to the middle of the developing neural tube. view more (2006-01-12)
Decline of house sparrows due to lack of overwinter food
The decline of the house sparrow in rural areas of Britain over the past two decades has possible occurred because of reduced food supplies, leading to localised extinctions, according to a report by Oxford zoologists published tomorrow [29 August 2002] in Nature. view more (2002-08-28)
The Speed Of Learning The New Language Protects Against Psychological Symptoms In Refugees
The aim of this research is to study the effects of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and dissociation as well as cumulative symptom load on language learning during the introduction phase in resettled refugees. Participants were resettled refugees of Iraqi origin. They were assessed by means of a structured interview... view more... (2004-08-31)
Human Genetic Research: House Of Lords Debate
As the second main item of business on Tuesday 15 January (starting between about 5pm and 6pm), the House of Lords is to debate the Science and Technology Committee's recent report Human Genetic Databases: challenges and opportunities together with the Government's response. The debate will be opened by Lord Oxburgh (Ron Oxburgh, the former Rector... view more... (2002-01-09)
History book of lakes
Does man, through the felling of trees, alpine farming and atmospheric metal pollution produce a more negative effect on lakes than do natural changes, such as climate and vegetation? How long does it take until environmental protection measures actually show effect in lakes? Karin Koinig from the Institute of Zoology and Limnology at the... view more... (2001-02-22)
Birds migrate together at night in dispersed flocks, new study indicates
A new analysis indicates that birds don't fly alone when migrating at night. Some birds, at least, keep together on their migratory journeys, flying in tandem even when they are 200 meters or more apart. view more (2008-07-08)
Wiping out the world's mass migrations
Densely packed wildebeests flowing over the Serengeti, bison teeming across the Northern Plains-these iconic images extend from Hollywood epics to the popular imagination. view more (2009-06-02)
Computer scientists scale 'layer 2' data center networks to 100,000 ports and beyond
University of California, San Diego computer scientists have created software that they hope will lead to data centers that logically function as single, plug-and-play networks that will scale to the massive scale of modern data center networks. view more (2009-08-18)
