New research helps explain why bird flu has not caused a pandemic
The authors of the new study, from Imperial College London, the University of Reading and the University of North Carolina, USA, argue that it is very unlikely that two genetic mutations would occur a...

Read moreRight-handed chimpanzees provide clues to the origin of human language
A study of captive chimpanzees at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center (Atlanta, Georgia), reported in the January 2010 issue of Elsevier's Cortex, suggests that this "hemispheric la...

In the future it is expected that it will be possible to insert nanoscale electrodes to study learning and memory functions and to treat patients suffering from chronic pain, depression, and diseases ...
Life Sciences | Read moreToronto researchers discover novel circulation in human eye, new glaucoma treatment target
For over a century, the eye has been considered to lack lymphatics, a circulation responsible for pumping fluid and waste out of tissues. The inability to clear that fluid from the eye is linked to gl...

Fish and some amphibians possess a unique sensory capability in the so-called lateral-line system. It allows them, in effect, to "touch" objects in their surroundings without direct physical...
Physics and Astronomy | Read moreSome brain tumors may be mediated by tiny filament on cells
The study, conducted in mice and in human brain tissue of medulloblastomas, coincides with a study by another team of UCSF scientists showing that the structure, known as primary cilium, also may play...
Life Sciences | Read moreNetting new physics from a stellar collapse
Stars more than eight times the mass of our Sun eventually collapse under their own weight, and may explode into spectacular supernovae. The temperatures and pressures generated in these events are so...
Physics and Astronomy | Read moreTrigger-happy star formation
While astronomers have long understood that stars and planets form from the collapse of a cloud of gas, the question of the main causes of this process has remained open.One option is that the...
Physics and Astronomy | Read moreMutations in gene linked to ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are a newly emerging group of diseases caused by defects in the function or structure of cellular primary cilia, which are small, cellular appendages of previously unknown function. Examp...
Life Sciences | Read moreDuke scientists create airway spheres to study lung diseases
From this single "basal" cell, a small, squat stem cell that divides to replenish the lung lining layer, scientists created 3-D hollow spheres that were lined inside with both ciliary and se...
