| Scientists discover mutations associated with skin disorder (DSAP) Posted: 16 Sep 2012 01:09 PM PDT Scientists have found strong genetic evidence of a link between mutations of the mevalonate kinase gene (MVK) and disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP). It is a major step toward discovering the genetic pathogenesis of DSAP, and sheds light on its further molecular diagnosis and treatment. |
| Flu antibody’s 'one-handed grab' may boost effort toward universal vaccine, new therapies Posted: 16 Sep 2012 01:08 PM PDT Scientists have solved the co-crystal structure of a human antibody that can neutralize influenza viruses in a unique way. The antibody recognizes the crucial structure that flu viruses use to attach to host cells, even though previously this structure had been thought too small for an antibody to grab effectively. The immune protein manages to hit this precise spot by using just a small part of its target-grabbing apparatus. In so doing, it can neutralize a broad range of dangerous flu viruses. |
| Breath analysis could help diagnose pulmonary nodules, study shows Posted: 16 Sep 2012 08:44 AM PDT A pilot study showed that breath testing could be used to discriminate between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. The study looked at 74 patients who were under investigation for pulmonary nodules and attended a referral clinic in Colorado between March 2009 and May 2010. |
| Abstinence from alcohol plus physical exercise can help reclaim bone loss due to alcoholism Posted: 14 Sep 2012 04:16 PM PDT Alcoholism is known to cause osteoporosis, or reduced bone mineral density (BMD). New findings indicate that as little as eight weeks of abstinence can initiate correction of an imbalance between bone formation and resorption due to alcohol's toxic effects. Physical activity can also serve as a protective factor against reduced BMD. |
| Maternal drinking during pregnancy can damage the earliest fetal learning Posted: 14 Sep 2012 04:16 PM PDT Habituation refers to the ability of an organism to stop responding to repeated stimulation. A new study has examined the impact of maternal drinking on fetal habituation or learning abilities while still residing in the mother's womb. Results showed that those fetuses exposed to heavy binge drinking required significantly more trials to habituate, and also exhibited a greater variability in test performance. |

The Cynical Girl: The Week Ahead
The Cynical Girl: The Week Ahead |  |
| Posted: 16 Sep 2012 03:45 AM PDT Hi! Happy day. Good morning. Don’t be grumpy. Get some coffee. How was your weekend? Everyone survive? I was a bachelorette. I’m ready for my husband to come home. Sick of sleeping alone with cats. This week, I’ll be blogging about sex, drugs and growing online MBA programs. I’ll also blog about HR technology and acne. I might also blog about Syria, teacher’s unions and The Voice. My heart’s a stereo. It beats for you, so listen close. What’s up for your week?! |

- Chemists develop reversible method of tagging proteins
- Most coral reefs are at risk unless climate change is drastically limited, study shows
- How bees decide what to be: Reversible 'epigenetic' marks linked to behavior patterns
| Chemists develop reversible method of tagging proteins Posted: 16 Sep 2012 01:09 PM PDT Chemists have developed a method that for the first time provides scientists the ability to attach chemical probes onto proteins and subsequently remove them in a repeatable cycle. |
| Most coral reefs are at risk unless climate change is drastically limited, study shows Posted: 16 Sep 2012 01:09 PM PDT Coral reefs face severe challenges even if global warming is restricted to the two degrees Celsius commonly perceived as safe for many natural and human-made systems. Warmer sea surface temperatures are likely to trigger more frequent and more intense mass coral bleaching events. |
| How bees decide what to be: Reversible 'epigenetic' marks linked to behavior patterns Posted: 16 Sep 2012 01:08 PM PDT Scientists report what is believed to be the first evidence that complex, reversible behavioral patterns in bees -- and presumably other animals -- are linked to reversible chemical tags on genes. |
