| Giant undersea microbial mat among discoveries revealed by marine life census Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT Explorers are puzzling out nature's purpose behind the discovery of an astonishing variety of tiny ocean creatures like microbes and zooplankton animals, which together underpin almost all other life on Earth. |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT In the Inland Empire locale of Southern California, failure to detect breast cancer in its early, more treatable stages is common among black women, and researchers have discovered that the cause may be a combination of incidence and mortality patterns, poverty, and a lack of medical insurance and education. |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT Race may play a larger role than previously thought when it comes to optimal diagnosis and treatment of black women with breast cancer. |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT A smoking ban in bars and restaurants in Guatemala effectively reduced nicotine levels in these places, but not as much as hoped, which suggests the need for more rigorous enforcement. |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT Latina women who reside on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border are a study in contrasts when it comes to breast cancer screening. |
| A brain-recording device that melts into place Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT Scientists have developed a brain implant that essentially melts into place, snugly fitting to the brain's surface. The technology could pave the way for better devices to monitor and control seizures, and to transmit signals from the brain past damaged parts of the spinal cord. |
| Performing complex tasks under stress activates hidden neuronal circuit in brain Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT Did you ever wonder how you are able to perform complex tasks -- even under stress? And how do emotions and memories mold your ability to live your everyday lives? Studies of a microscopic worm show how physiological detection of stress results in activation of a hidden neuronal circuit. It is suggested that such circuits form part of an escape response that enables animals to sense their environment and adapt their behavior under unfavorable conditions. |
| You had me at hello: Frisky yeast know who to 'shmoo' after two minutes Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT Yeast cells decide whether to have sex with each other within two minutes of meeting, according to new research. One of the authors of the study says the new insights into how yeast cells decide to mate could be helpful for researchers looking at how cancer cells and stem cells develop. |
| Fundamental causes of colorectal cancer outcomes Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT Socioeconomic status plays a role in colorectal cancer mortality rates by hindering health care interventions and/or restricting patient access to care, according to results of a retrospective cohort study. |
| Vitamin and calcium supplements may reduce breast cancer risk Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT Vitamins and calcium supplements appear to reduce the risk of breast cancer, according to new research. |
| Routine breast cancer biopsy might predict lymph node cancer spread Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT Predicting breast cancer spread from a sentinel lymph node removed during surgery is a hit or miss affair, say researchers: there are still many false negatives, which means the node, when analyzed under a microscope, appears clean of cancer cells, but metastasis can still occur in the patient. The sentinel node is the first lymph node in the axilla that cancer spreads to. |
