One of the challenges to HIV vaccine development has been the lack of an animal model that accurately reflects the human immune response to the virus and how the virus evolves to evade that response. In Science Translational Medicine, researchers from the Ragon Institute of Massachusetts General...
Your genes determine much about you, but environment can have a strong influence on your genes even before birth, with consequences that can last a lifetime. In a study published online in Genome Research, researchers have for the first time shown that the environment experienced in the womb...
It was just a couple days ago that we talked about military wives stripping down to support a cause. I was so frustrated by their blatant use of sex to raise attention because I feel like their battle shouldn't need it. They shouldn't have to get naked for people to be aware of PTSD in the...
Mice and monkeys don't develop diseases in the same way that humans do. Nevertheless, after medical researchers have studied human cells in a Petri dish, they have little choice but to move on to study mice and primates. This video shows blood pumping through an engineered microvessel stimulated...
Research from Karolinska Institutet shows that the human olfactory bulb - a structure in the brain that processes sensory input from the nose - differs from that of other mammals in that no new neurons are formed in this area after birth. The discovery, which is published in the scientific...
Conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation can cause toxic side-effects. Now, researchers have discovered that a drug called thioridazine can successfully destroy cancer stem cells in humans without these effects. Mick Bhatia, lead researcher of the study and scientific...
Human cells are thought to produce thousands of different microRNAs (miRNAs) - small pieces of genetic material that help determine which genes are turned on or off at a given time. miRNAs are an important part of normal cellular function, but they can also contribute to human disease - some are...
Techniques used by researchers from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory to analyze a simple marine worm and its resident bacteria could accelerate efforts to understand more complex microbial communities such as those found in humans. In a paper published in the Proceedings...
If Arabic is a human language then it means that Allah used/depended on it to pass His guidance to mankind. Allah needed to use human language. Does that mean Allah lowered Himself to human level?
If Arabic is Allah's language then it means humans can speak Allah's language!
I need to know if there is an e-mail address to someone in Human Resources in Dish Networks' Corporate office??? If there is please let me know what it is
When laboratory mice were modeled with colitis and treated with human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal cells, the cells homed in on the inflamed colon and effectively ameliorated colitis, reported a study published in a recent issue of Cell Transplantation (20:9), now freely available...
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have resolved the debate over the mechanisms involved in the shut-down process during cell division in the body. Research findings, published in the journal PNAS, may contribute to future studies on how scientists could manipulate this shut-down process...
Do you believe that the elimination of human trafficking in the U.S. should be a priority of our government and law enforcement today?
Survey for a project. All that is needed is a Yes or No answer; comments are optional.
Thank you!
Awakening from anesthesia is often associated with an initial phase of delirious struggle before the full restoration of awareness and orientation to one's surroundings. Scientists now know why this may occur: primitive consciousness emerges first. Using brain imaging techniques in healthy...

A naturally-occurring harmless human virus may be able to boost the effects of two standard chemotherapy drugs in some cancer patients, according to early stage trial data published in Clinical Cancer Research. RT3D, trade name Reolysin, is a new drug developed by Oncolytics Biotech Inc with...
I'm considering to major in Human Resources and eventually work my way up to be an HR manager. However, I've researched it a bit and heard that many HR workers travel often. Is this true? And if this is, about how often do you travel? Once a year? Multiple times a year? Only for training?
And...
