New findings show a slow recovery from extreme global warming episode 55 million years ago
Most of the excess carbon dioxide pouring into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels will ultimately be absorbed by the oceans, but it will take about 100,000 years. That is how long it took for ocean chemistry to recover from a massive input of carbon dioxide 55 million years ago, according to a study published this week in the journal... view more...

Evidence from Hawaiian volcanoes shows that Earth recycles its crust
A geologist at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has come up with evidence our planet practices recycling on a grand scale. view more (2006-11-30)
Einstein scientists discover cause and possible treatments for hereditary movement disorder
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered the underlying cause of a type of ataxia, hereditary disorders characterized by poor balance, loss of posture and difficulty performing rapid coordinated movement. view more (2006-03-02)
Drugs From the Deep Blue
For Tadeusz Molinski, the sea is full of riches - and he does not mean oil fields or fisheries. Molinski, a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Davis, is searching for new treatments for cancer, infectious diseases and other conditions that could be made from natural products in the soft bodies of some of the ocean's simplest... view more...

How sperm crack the whip
Researchers have identified a key component of the mechanism spermatozoa use to abruptly convert their tail motion from a steady swimming undulation to the whip-cracking snap that thrusts them into an egg. view more (2006-02-09)
'Underground' tunnels discovered as means for communication between immune system cells
Immune system cells are connected to each other by an extensive network of tiny tunnels that, like a building's hidden pneumatic tube system, are used to shoot signals to distant cells. view more (2005-09-21)
Oceans may soon be more corrosive than when the dinosaurs died
Increased carbon dioxide emissions are rapidly making the world's oceans more acidic and, if unabated, could cause a mass extinction of marine life similar to one that occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs disappeared. view more (2006-02-21)
Could vitamin D, a key milk nutrient, affect how you age?
There is a new reason for the 76 million baby boomers to grab a glass of milk. Vitamin D, a key nutrient in milk, could have aging benefits linked to reduced inflammation, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. view more (2007-11-09)
Journal of Alzheimer's Disease is devoted to metal ions and neurodegenerative diseases
The recent issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease (Volume 8, Issue 2) published by IOS Press is devoted to "Metal Ions and Neurodegenerative Diseases" and presents a collection of important papers dedicated to uncovering the role of various metals in human neurophysiology and neurodegenerative disorders. view more (2006-01-13)
Origins of Life
The origin of life lies in unique ocean reefs, and scientists from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science have developed an approach to help investigate them better. view more (2006-11-20)
Orange juice is better than lemonade at keeping kidney stones away
A daily glass of orange juice can help prevent the recurrence of kidney stones better than other citrus fruit juices such as lemonade, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered. view more (2006-09-01)
Hope for arthritis, heart attack, stroke relief found in unique 'acid active' receptor
he fact that arthritis pain and inflammation regularly comes and goes despite drug and other interventions "suggests that additional pathways can rekindle arthritic responses," according to researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. view more (2005-10-24)
Researchers discover how acid reflux leads to esophageal cancer
A particular enzyme is significantly higher in cancer cells that have been exposed to acid, leading to the overproduction of hydrogen peroxide, and offering a possible explanation for how acid reflux may lead to cancer of the esophagus, according to a recent study in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. view more (2006-08-17)
Scientists discover how coffee can reduce risk of pancreatitis
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how coffee can reduce the risk of alcohol-induced pancreatitis. view more (2006-03-14)
How plants manage calcium may reduce effects of acid rain
A new understanding of how plants manage their internal calcium levels could lead to modifying plants to avoid damage from acid rain. The pollutant disrupts calcium balance in plants by leaching significant amounts of the mineral from leaves as well as the agricultural and forest soils the plants live in. view more (2007-03-12)

Tropical Atlantic cooling and African deforestation correlate to drought, report scientists
Against the backdrop of the Montreal Summit on global climate being held this week, an article on African droughts and monsoons, by a University of California, Santa Barbara scientist and others, which appears in the December issue of the journal Geology, underlines concern about the effects of global climate change. view more (2005-12-05)
Phytoplankton bounce back from abrupt climate change
Marine sediment cores contain calcareous plankton - single-celled organisms with a coating or shell of calcium carbonate - as fossils. These tiny photosynthesizing plants float in the ocean and move with the currents. view more (2006-02-17)
Plants' management of nutrient suggests environmental remedies
A new understanding of how plants manage their internal calcium levels could potentially lead to genetically engineering plants to avoid damage from acid rain, which robs soil of much of its calcium. view more (2007-03-09)
