This new finding also challenges the idea that early milk should be pumped and discarded as a means of reducing infant exposure to persistent organic…
PBDEs have been measured in dust, air and both animal- and plant-derived foods. Dust has been thought to be the foremost route of exposure to PBDEs, but the…
As described in ASM International's Advanced Materials & Processes magazine, the limestone captures the sulfur oxides as they are formed, while the low burning…
In a paper published in the July issue of Analytical Chemistry, John Brennan and his research team at McMaster University, working with the Sentinel Bioactive…
It seems like a magic trick. A man takes a paper clip and bends it in such a way that it merely resembles a crooked piece of wire.Then, he throws the clip into…
The team, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and based at the University of Dundee has examined the genome sequence…
The study is the first to use high-throughput sequencing to uncover active genes in developing brains, and it is likely the best evidence thus far for the…
Pannes are waterlogged, low-oxygen zones of salt marshes. Despite the stresses associated with global warming, pannes are “plant diversity hotspots,” according…
The current drug discovery process is arduous, requiring identification of potential drug targets, synthesis of large collections of molecular compounds that…
In recent years, much research has focused on understanding precisely what the bacterium S aureus does within the host to disrupt the immune system. Despite…
The team previously discovered an “attractive” force of light and showed how it could be manipulated to move components in semiconducting micro- and…
In a study appearing in the July issue of Archives of Neurology, researchers found the pesticide beta-HCH (hexachlorocyclohexane) in 76 percent of people with…
The discovery, which shows that a process dubbed the DDR (DNA Damage Response) also controls communication from cell to cell, has implications for both cancer…
Superconductivity appears to rely on very different mechanisms in two varieties of iron-based superconductors. The insight comes from research groups that are…
That is the conclusion drawn by Professor Per Erik Ahlberg, Uppsala University, from his discovery of a so-called “clasper” in a primitive fossil fish earlier…
One of the continuing mysteries of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is why women usually develop lower viral levels than men following acute HIV-1 infection but progress…
