| Choosing cheese: Research identifies microbial communities in cheese Posted: 17 Jul 2014 03:05 PM PDT After studying 137 varieties of cheese collected in 10 different countries, researchers have been able to identify three general types of microbial communities that live on cheese, opening the door to using each as a 'model' community for the study of whether and how various microbes and fungi compete or cooperate as they form communities, what molecules may be involved in the process and what mechanisms may be involved. |
| Adolescent alcohol abuse disrupts transitions into early adulthood Posted: 17 Jul 2014 03:04 PM PDT Adolescent alcohol abuse is known to be associated with adverse outcomes in early adulthood. It is unclear how much of this association is due to the influence of differences in familial background and shared genetics. New findings implicate a significant causal relationship between elevated drinking problems at age 18.5 and more adverse life outcomes at age 25 that cannot be fully explained by shared genetic and environmental liabilities. |
| Fish oil may benefit alcohol abusers Posted: 17 Jul 2014 03:02 PM PDT Omega-3 fish oil might help protect against alcohol-related neurodamage and the risk of eventual dementia, according to a study. Many human studies have shown that long-term alcohol abuse causes brain damage and increases the risk of dementia. The new study found that in brain cells exposed to high levels of alcohol, a fish oil compound protected against inflammation and neuronal cell death. |
| Preventing foodborne illness naturally: with cinnamon Posted: 17 Jul 2014 06:51 AM PDT Cinnamomum cassia oil was shown to be effective as a natural antibacterial agent against several strains of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, known to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as 'non-O157 STEC'. The study results add to a body of knowledge that will help improve food safety and reduce or eliminate cases of food poisoning and related deaths. |
| Keeping a promise worth more than exceeding it Posted: 17 Jul 2014 06:45 AM PDT Exceeding a promise isn't viewed any more highly than keeping a promise, a study has demonstrated. Researchers thus suggest that there is little or no benefit to putting forth a greater effort to exceed a promise when keeping a promise is so highly valued. This likely extends beyond interpersonal relationships, the researchers write, to relationships between businesses and customers, and employers and employees. |
| Does practice really make perfect? Posted: 16 Jul 2014 09:38 AM PDT Does practice really make perfect? It's an age-old question, and a new study finds that while practice won't make you perfect, it will usually make you better at what you're practicing. "Other factors matter as well, but even so, no one says that practice will ever hurt you; but be careful if you are walking tightropes," one researcher said. |
| Adolescent males seek intimacy, close relationships with the opposite sex Posted: 15 Jul 2014 11:28 AM PDT Teenage boys desire intimacy and sex in the context of a meaningful relationship and value trust in their partnerships, according to researchers. The research provides a snapshot of the development of masculine values in adolescence, an area that has been understudied. |
