Unheard of life history for a vertebrate
There is a newly discovered life history among the 28,300 species of known tetrapods, or four-legged animals with backbones. view more (2008-07-01)
Growth hormone is made in the brain, report scientists
Scientists have found that growth hormone, a substance that is used for body growth, is produced in the brain, according to an article published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-03-28)
University of Kent tops funding and expansion league
The University of Kent is among the country's top five universities in terms of the percentage increase in funds allocated by the government. This means that 10% of all of England's university expansion will take place in Kent and Medway. With more than 600 new places available from this autumn, the University continues its growth in the region.... view more... (2003-03-12)
Stratified seawater disrupts the transport of imposex substances
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam have demonstrated that the climate in South Mexico changed following the collapse of the Maya empire. From preserved pollen grains the paleoecologists could deduce that the climate quickly became dryer. The climate becoming dryer, explains the decrease in the population following the collapse of the... view more... (2002-01-24)
Prevalence of US osteoprotic hip fracture hospitalizations declines despite an aging population
The prevalence of hospitalisations for osteoporotic (non-traumatic) hip fractures in the USA declined significantly from 1988 to 2005, despite an increase in all-cause hospitalisations over the same period and a general ageing of the population, according to research presented today at EULAR 2008, the Annual Congress of the European League Against... view more...

Hormone therapy helps short children grow up
Growth hormone treatment may significantly increase final height in children diagnosed with short stature, even in cases where the child is not growth hormone deficient, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-11-06)
Counting sheep in climate change predictions
Climate change can have devastating effects on endangered species, but new mathematical models may be able to aid conservation of a population of bighorn sheep. view more (2009-06-01)
NEW TEST FOR DOPING IN RACEHORSES
Scientists from Britain, Australia and South Africa have collaborated to develop a new test for drug abuse in racehorses. Use of growth hormone doping is worrying both horse racing and athletics authorities. Now new work, presented at the British Endocrine Societies annual meeting in Birmingham, may prevent cheating in horse racing, as well as... view more... (2000-03-07)
There goes the neighborhood: Vascular niche nurtures brain tumor stem cells
Self-renewing cancer stem cells (CSCs) comprise only a tiny fraction of most brain tumors, but eliminating them is likely to have a profound impact on the ability of a tumor to survive and grow. view more (2007-01-17)
Growth hormone's link to starvation may be clue to increasing life span, researchers find
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined that starvation blocks the effects of growth hormone via a mechanism that may have implications in treating diabetes and extending life span. view more (2008-06-30)
Scientists discover key factor in regulating placenta and fetal growth
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have shown that a common biological protein molecule called SHP-2 is crucial for encouraging placenta growth. view more (2009-09-21)
Growth hormone is not the anti-aging bullet for healthy adults
A review of published data on use of human growth hormone (GH) by healthy elderly people found that the synthetic hormone was associated with small changes in body composition but not in body weight or other clinically important outcomes. view more (2007-01-16)
Liking sweets makes sense for kids
As any parent knows, children love sweet-tasting foods. Now, new research from the University of Washington and the Monell Center indicates that this heightened liking for sweetness has a biological basis and is related to children's high growth rate. view more (2009-03-19)
First functional insulin-binding protein in invertebrates
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling that helps to regulate mammals' growth, metabolism, reproduction and longevity is well documented. view more (2008-04-15)
Global warming will negatively impact tropical species
Global warming is likely to reduce the health of tropical species, scientists from UCLA and the University of Washington report May 6 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-05-06)
MU Researchers to Study the Status of Black Bears in Missouri
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia are studying the status of black bears in Missouri. Black bears were abundant in the state during the 18th and 19th centuries, but have been considered almost extinct in Missouri since the late 19th century. view more (2007-06-14)
Scotland's economy challenged by population trends
Scotland's population is changing in ways that could transform the face of the country. While the latest figures show a recent upswing in births and migration to Scotland and a projected rise in the population over the next 25 years, in the long term Scotland's population (in common with many other developed nations) is predicted to decline and... view more...

Growth hormone to boost athletic performance risks diabetes
Use of growth hormone to boost athletic performance can lead to diabetes, reports a study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2007-02-26)
ISU researcher identifies genetic pathway responsible for much of plant growth
Researchers at Iowa State University have discovered a previously unknown pathway in plant cells that regulates plant growth. view more (2009-05-21)
Prostate cancer spurs new nerves
Prostate cancer - and perhaps other cancers - promotes the growth of new nerves and the branching axons that carry their messages, a finding associated with more aggressive tumors, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in the first report of the phenomenon that appears today in the journal Clinical Cancer Research. view more (2008-12-01)
