Marine scientists have discovered that the deepest oceans of the world would appear to be shark free. view more (2006-02-22)
Stem cell study seeks to prevent heart failure
University of Rochester Medical Center researchers today announced the launch of a study that will examine whether transplanted stem cells can be safely used to treat damaged heart muscle in patients just after their first heart attack. view more (2006-01-25)
Bone marrow stem cells may heal hearts even years after heart attacks
Left ventricular function and exercise capacity increased, while the area of heart muscle damage shrank, in 18 patients given infusions of their own bone marrow stem cells up to eight years after a heart attack view more (2005-10-27)
Coffee consumption linked to increased risk of heart attack for persons with certain gene variation
Individuals who have a genetic variation associated with slower caffeine metabolism appear to have an increased risk of non-fatal heart attack associated with higher amounts of coffee intake, according to a study in the March 8 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-03-08)
Bacteria can help predict ocean change
Every creature has its place and role in the oceans - even the smallest microbe, according to a new study that may lead to more accurate models of ocean change. view more (2006-08-15)
Leaving your heart attack to chance
People who believe their health is largely due to chance are more likely to wait over four hours to seek medical help after having a heart attack. This is the finding of research by Professor Ronan O'Carroll, University of St Andrews and colleagues from the University of Edinburgh, presented today, Friday 7 September, at the joint British... view more...

White blood cells of cancer-resistant mice overwhelm natural defenses of cancer cells
The discoverers of the unique mouse line that is resistant to cancer have begun to pin down how the process works and found that white blood cells in these mice overwhelm normal defenses of cancer cells. view more (2006-11-01)
Shark skin saves naval industry money
Covering ship hulls with artificial shark skin could help ships sailing smoothly. The growth of marine organisms such as barnacles on ship hulls is a major cause of increased energy costs in the naval industry. Shark skin offers a structural design that prevents this so called 'bio-fouling'. view more (2005-07-18)
Shark attack worries? Driving to the beach is more deadly
Which is more likely to happen-you being in a car wreck or being bitten by a shark? Those who answered that cars are greater killers win a free trip to the beach view more (2005-06-30)
World shark attacks dipped in 2005, part of long-term trend
Assertive and even aggressive human behavior could explain why shark attacks worldwide dipped last year, continuing a five-year downward trend in close encounters with the oceanic predators. view more (2006-02-14)
Reef Sharks Threatened by Overfishing
A study by Australian scientists has warned that coral reef shark populations on the Great Barrier Reef are in the midst of a catastrophic collapse. view more (2006-12-06)
UF scientists discover evolutionary origin of fins, limbs
Evolutionarily speaking, the genetic instructions used to construct and position our limbs were being perfected more than half a billion years ago in fishes, not along the sides of the body where the fins that preceded human arms and legs sprouted, but at the midline that runs along the backbone and belly. view more (2006-07-27)
Insects cultivate 'antibiotic-producing bacteria' in their antennae
Bacteria live in, on and around us and other organisms with sometimes very beneficial results. For the first time scientists have shown that one species of insect deliberately cultivates bacteria in its antennae in order to protect their larvae from fungal attack. view more (2007-04-02)
Why doesn't the immune system attack the small intestine?
Answering one of the oldest questions in human physiology, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have discovered why the body's immune system-perpetually on guard against foreign microbes like bacteria - doesn't attack tissues in the small intestine that harbor millions of bacteria cells. view more (2007-01-10)
More than one-third of disaster victims may suffer from stress disorder
In the year after a hurricane, tornado, terrorist attack or other natural or man-made disaster, 30 to 40 percent of adults who were directly affected may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. view more (2006-06-09)
Deep-sea exploration beneath hurricane Katrina's wake
Despite having to evade hurricane Katrina, a team of scientists from Harbor Branch and other institutions is returning to port this Sunday with new tales from the deep after completing their second annual Deep Scope expedition. view more (2005-09-02)
Aspirin reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, though effects differ between men and women
An analysis of previous studies indicates that use of aspirin significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in women and in men, due to reducing the risk of stroke in women and reducing the risk of heart attack in men. view more (2006-01-18)
Pair of studies offer new clues to combat antibiotic resistance
In the continuing battle against antibiotic resistance, two new studies shed light on the complex defense mechanisms pathogenic bacteria use to evade antibiotic attack, an understanding of which could lead to new, more effective antibiotics to help save lives and combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. view more (2006-01-25)
Satellite technology allows scientists to track warm sharks in cold polar seas
Electronic tags broadcasting from the dorsal fins of salmon sharks reveal that these top predators migrate from the glacial waters of Alaska to the warm seas off Hawaii. view more (2005-10-07)
A new guideline for screening apparently healthy individuals to prevent a heart attack
To accelerate the adoption and standardization of heart attack screening methods, the July 10th edition of the American view more (2006-07-10)
