The body's brown fat cells play a key role in the development of obesity and diabetes. Researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have now discovered that we humans have two different kinds of brown fat cells and not one kind as previously thought. This discovery, now...
Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Florida have uncovered a toxic cellular process by which a protein that maintains the health of neurons becomes deficient and can lead to dementia. The findings shed new light on the link between culprits implicated in two devastating neurological diseases...
Scientists from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine (IGMM) at the University of Edinburgh have discovered an enzyme that corrects the most common mistake in mammalian DNA. The mistake is the inclusion of individual bits of RNA within the DNA sequence...
As DNA "barcoding" technology becomes, quicker, cheaper and easier to develop, it is expanding rapidly into many areas from uncovering frauds such as mislabelled fish and unlisted ingredients in quack herbal medicines, to revealing ancient life-forms frozen in the Arctic permafrost, and...
this bad? i ask this because i saw an "open case status" in the bios and i got concerned. why is there an option for it? i only have an nvidia 6200 with a fan so i dont think thats whats making it hot, plus the computer itself has 2 fans. its not overclocked either. but nevermind all that im...

By tracking what parasites eat and detailing the exact pathways down which they metabolize nutrients for growth, researchers in Australia believe they have revealed new drug targets for fighting the deadly tropical parasite Leishmania which infects 12 million and kills half a million people...
Stem cell researchers at UCLA have uncovered for the first time why adult human cardiac myocytes have lost their ability to proliferate, perhaps explaining why the human heart has little regenerative capacity. The study, done in cell lines and mice, may lead to methods of reprogramming a...
On rare occasion, the light-sensing photoreceptor cells in the eye misfire and signal to the brain as if they have captured photons, when in reality they haven't. For years this phenomenon remained a mystery. Reporting in the June 10 issue of Science, neuroscientists at the Johns Hopkins...
A Japanese non-profit group dived to the seabed to film the wreckage left behind by March's tsunami. A glass sliding door still intact; a Converse shoe; photos...it's distressing stuff that will tug at your heartstrings. [Stoke via Scuttlefish] More »
The cell signaling pathway known as Wnt, commonly activated in cancers, causes internal membranes within a healthy cell to imprison an enzyme that is vital in degrading proteins, preventing the enzyme from doing its job and affecting the stability of many proteins within the cell, researchers at...
An innovative study investigating whether high environmental exposure to peanut is a risk for developing peanut allergy is being run at the Department of Paediatric Allergy, King's College London School of Medicine. The research, *funded by children's health charity Action Medical Research, was...
...Ferdinand live dvd (2005)? Apparently there are heaps on there, I can only find one at the moment. A list of easy-to-follow instructions would be great, but a link to another site would be just as appreciated :)
