Researchers at the University Of Southern California School Of Dentistry have uncovered another clue behind the causes of cleft palate and the process that leads to palate formation. view more (2008-08-11)
New fossil tells how piranhas got their teeth
How did piranhas - the legendary freshwater fish with the razor bite - get their telltale teeth? view more (2009-06-26)
Scientists decode genome of oral pathogen
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have decoded the genome of a bacteria normally present in the healthy human mouth that can cause a deadly heart infection if it enters the bloodstream. view more (2007-04-06)
Link found between periodontal disease and pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.; more than 30,000 Americans are expected to die from the disease this year. view more (2007-01-17)
Stomach receptor for H. pylori discovered
Scientists have determined that decay-accelerating factor (DAF), a protein found in epithelial cells in the stomach, acts as a receptor for the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. view more (2006-05-05)
A new mouse model provides insight into genetic neurological disorders
Neurosensory diseases are difficult to model in mice because their symptoms are complex and diverse. The genetic causes identified are often lethal when transferred to a mouse. view more (2009-05-26)
From Mona Lisa To Tony Blair - Historian Pinpoints the Moment The Open Mouth Smile Was Born
Smiles have not always been the same. The modern open mouthed smile exposing the teeth is a particular favourite of politicians such as Prime Minister Tony Blair. It is thought to promote health and beauty and be a distinctive marker of one`s personal identity, yet before the late 18th century people displaying open mouthed smiles were considered... view more...

Precision measurement of W boson mass portends stricter limits for Higgs particle
Scientists of the DZero collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have achieved the world's most precise measurement of the mass of the W boson by a single experiment. Combined with other measurements, the reduced uncertainty of the W boson mass will lead to stricter bounds on the mass of the elusive Higgs... view more... (2009-03-12)
Physicists create BlackMax to search for dimensions in space at the Large Hadron Collider
A team of theoretical and experimental physicists, with participants from Case Western Reserve University, have designed a new black hole simulator called BlackMax to search for evidence that extra dimensions might exist in the universe. view more (2008-11-07)
Arsenic aids tumor imaging when joined to cancer-homing drug, UT Southwestern researchers find
Arsenic linked to a drug that binds to the blood vessels of cancerous tumors provides a powerful imaging agent that could one day allow physicians to detect hard-to-find tumors and more closely monitor cancer's response to therapy, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2008-03-03)
Glowing Results-Pitt Researchers Use Fluorescence to Develop Fast, Simple Method for Detecting Mercury in Fish and Dental Fillings
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have developed a simple and quick method for detecting mercury in fish and dental samples, two substances at the center of public concern about mercury contamination. view more (2008-11-19)
Ultra-Useful Ultrasound Causing A Stir In Materials Science
As the molecules are manipulated by the sound wave, tiny cavities are formed and destroyed inside the material that release high levels of energy when they implode, causing chemical or physical reactions to occur. Sonochemistry is already proving a useful tool and is being applied commercially in the former Soviet Union in the casting process and... view more... (1999-02-03)
Study shows relationship between oral and cardiovascular health
New research is reinforcing the longstanding belief that a connection exists between periodontal disease, or severe gum inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-02-23)
Scientists launch first comprehensive database of human oral microbiome
Scientists know more today than ever before about the microbes that inhabit our mouths. They know so much, in fact, that gathering all of the relevant bits of information into one place when designing experiments can be a job in itself. view more (2008-03-27)

U of M study shows treatment of periodontal disease does not decrease risk for preterm birth
Researchers at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry have found treatment of periodontal (gum) disease in pregnant women does not significantly alter rates of preterm birth, low birth weight, or fetal growth restriction. view more (2006-11-02)
'Peking Man' older than thought; somehow adapted to cold
A new dating method has found that "Peking Man" is around 200,000 years older than previously thought, suggesting he somehow adapted to the cold of a mild glacial period. view more (2009-03-13)
Ancient bison teeth provide window on past Great Plains climate, vegetation
A University of Washington researcher has devised a way to use the fossil teeth of ancient bison as a tool to reconstruct historic climate and vegetation changes in America's breadbasket, the Great Plains. view more (2006-08-08)
Cranberry sauce: good for what ails you
Cranberry sauce is not the star of the traditional Thanksgiving Day meal, but when it comes to health benefits, the lowly condiment takes center stage. view more (2007-11-14)
Compounds in cranberry juice show promise as alternatives to antibiotics
Compounds in cranberry juice have the ability to change E. coli bacteria, a class of microorganisms responsible for a host of human illnesses (everything from kidney infections to gastroenteritis to tooth decay), in ways that render them unable to initiate an infection. view more (2006-09-11)
