Favorite music makes teens drive badly: Teen driver music preferences increase errors and distractibility

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 06:13 AM PDT

When the teen drivers listened to their preferred music, virtually all (98 percent) demonstrated an average of three deficient driving behaviors in at least one of the trips. Nearly a third of those (32 percent) required a a sudden verbal warning or command for action, and 20 percent needed an assisted steering or braking maneuver to prevent an imminent accident. These errors included speeding, tailgating, careless lane switching, passing vehicles and one-handed driving.

Architecture of chromosomes: A key for success or failure

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 06:13 AM PDT

Scientists have shown for the first time that chromosomes rearrangements (such as inversions or translocations) can provide advantages to the cells that harbor them depending on the environment to which they are exposed.

Receptor may aid spread of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's in brain

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 06:09 AM PDT

Scientists have found a way that corrupted, disease-causing proteins spread in the brain, potentially contributing to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other brain-damaging disorders.

Drug used for blood cancers may stop spread of breast cancer cells

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 12:21 PM PDT

A drug used to treat blood cancers may also stop the spread of invasive breast cancer, researchers have discovered. Their study found that in the lab and in animals, the drug decitabine turns on a gene coding for protein kinase D1 (PRKD1) that halts the ability of cancer cells to separate from a tumor and spread to distant organs.
