Brain drain or scientific diaspora?
The report of a collegial expertise review of the scientific diasporas has just been published by the publications division of the Institut de recherche pour le développement. Commissioned from the IRD by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and coordinated by Rémi Barré (CNAM), Jean-Baptiste Meyer (IRD), Valeria Hernandez... view more... (2003-12-09)
Case Western Reserve University discovers Merkel cell originates from skin, not the neural crest
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine assistant professor of pediatrics, neurosciences and otolaryngology, Stephen M. Maricich, M.D., Ph.D., and his team found that Merkel cells originate in the skin, not the neural crest lineage, as previously speculated. view more (2009-10-05)
Scientists identify origin of hiss in upper atmosphere
Scientists have solved a 40-year-old puzzle by identifying the origin of the intense radio waves in the Earth's upper atmosphere that control the dynamics of the Van Allen radiation belts - belts consisting of high-energy electrons that can damage satellites and spacecraft and pose a risk to astronauts performing activities outside their... view more...

Study finds human population expanded during late Stone Age
Genetic evidence is revealing that human populations began to expand in size in Africa during the Late Stone Age approximately 40,000 years ago. view more (2009-07-29)
Do you know what are you eating?
The project presented by Basque research center AZTI is about a new research line: a new method to identify the food and fish products once they are processed. Due to the big demand on that kind of researches, AZTI has been financed by the Fishing and Agricultural Department of the Basque Government to create a new laboratory of genetics. In fact,... view more... (2002-12-05)
OECD develops policy recommendations for a new generation of large projects in astronomy
The OECD Global Science Forum has developed findings and recommendations regarding future large projects in astronomy. Some of the recommendations are directed towards the international scientific community, others pertain more to the work of government funding agencies. Among the conclusions are: the need for a globally-coordinated scientific... view more... (2004-10-15)
Archaeology experts to speak at BA Festival of Science
Three eminent archaeologists from the University of Reading's top-rated Archaeology Department will be among some 400 of the UK's leading scientists appearing at his year's BA Festival of Science. Thousands of people are expected to attend the world-renowned event, which takes place at the University of Exeter between Saturday 4 September and... view more... (2004-09-01)

The first men and women from the Canary Islands were Berbers
A team of Spanish and Portuguese researchers has carried out molecular genetic analysis of the Y chromosome (transmitted only by males) of the aboriginal population of the Canary Islands to determine their origin and the extent to which they have survived in the current population. view more (2009-10-22)
NTT Observations Indicate that Brown Dwarfs Form Like Stars
Dusty Disks Detected around Very Young Substellar Objects in the Orion Nebula An international team of astronomers is announcing today the discovery of dusty disks surrounding numerous very faint objects that are believed to be recently formed Brown Dwarfs in the Orion Nebula. This finding is based on detailed observations with SOFI, a specialised... view more... (2001-06-07)

Accumulating evidence suggests that connective tissue growth factor (CCN2) plays a central role in fibrotic conditions in many organ systems. view more (2009-08-26)
Rhesus monkeys in Nepal may provide new alternative for HIV/AIDS research
Scientists investigating the genetic makeup of rhesus macaque monkeys, a key species used in biomedical research, have found the rhesus in Nepal may provide a suitable alternative to alleviate a critical shortage of laboratory animals used in work to develop vaccines against diseases such as HIV/AIDS. view more (2006-06-01)
Pittsburgh scientists identify human source of stem cells with potential to repair muscle
For the first time, scientists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have discovered a unique population of adult stem cells derived from human muscle that could be used to treat muscle injuries and diseases such as heart attack and muscular dystrophy. view more (2007-09-05)
DNA-Proofed Documents To Arrive 'By 2006'
The commercial launch of the first ever fool-proof document security system is planned for 2006, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry magazine. The system, which uses DNA fingerprinting, will allow documents to be authenticated with an accuracy of billions to one against duplication, according to the Australian scientists working on... view more...

A new screening test for chronic abdominal pain
Evaluation of chronic abdominal pain of luminal etiology is a challenging problem for the primary care physicians and gastroenterologists. The exact localization of lesion to either small or large bowel remains an elusive identity in many subjects. view more (2008-12-29)
Genetic contributions to human brain morphology and intelligence
While showing an impressive growth prenatally, the human brain is not completed at birth. There is considerable brain growth during childhood with dynamic changes taking place in the human brain throughout life, probably for adaptation to our environments. view more (2007-10-17)
Strains of laboratory mice more varied than previously thought
A collaborative study by scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, has found that the genetic variation in the most widely used strains of laboratory mice is vastly greater than previously thought. view more (2007-07-30)
