Engineers Study Brain Folding In Higher Mammals:
Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis are finding common ground between the shaping of the brain and the heart during embryonic development.
Fungus Genome Yielding Answers To Protect Grains, People And Animals:
Why a pathogen is a pathogen may be answered as scientists study the recently mapped genetic makeup of a fungus that spawns the worst cereal grains disease known and also can produce toxins potentially fatal to people and livestock.
Large-scale Head Lice Finding Kits Effective:
Working with parents and schools to provide a bug busting approach to head lice is helping to reduce infestation levels, tackle health inequalities and reduce healthcare costs, according to a review in the Journal of Clinical Nursing.
Hydrothermal Vents: Hot Spots Of Microbial Diversity:
Thousands of new kinds of marine microbes have been discovered at two deep-sea hydrothermal vents off the Oregon coast by scientists at the MBL (Marine Biological Laboratory) and University of Washington's Joint Institute for the Study of Atmosphere and Ocean.
Census Of Protein Architectures Offers New View Of History Of Life:
The present can tell you a lot about the past, but you need to know where to look. A new study appearing this month in Genome Research reveals that protein architectures - the three-dimensional structures of specific regions within proteins - provide an extraordinary window on the history of life.
