| Pig-induced pluripotent stem cells may be safer than previously thought Posted: 09 Dec 2011 02:19 PM PST Pig stem cell research conducted by two animal scientists reveals a better way to determine the safety of future stem cell therapies than rodent-based models.  |
| Babies track word patterns long before word-learning starts Posted: 09 Dec 2011 12:01 PM PST During the first year of life, when babies spend so much time listening to language, they're actually tracking word patterns that will support their process of word- learning that occurs between the ages of about 18 months and two years.  |
| Anti-stress peptide may block alcohol dependence Posted: 09 Dec 2011 12:01 PM PST New research underlines the power of an endogenous anti-stress peptide in the brain to prevent and even reverse some of the cellular effects of acute alcohol and alcohol dependence in animal models. The work could lead to the development of novel drugs to treat alcoholism.  |
| Beating superbugs with a high-tech cleanser Posted: 09 Dec 2011 09:32 AM PST Scientists have developed an efficient, cost-effective liquid solution that fights antibiotic-resistant bacteria on hospital surfaces and keeps patients safe from life-threatening infections. It's easy to prepare, easy to apply, non-toxic -- and it will cost just a few dollars per quart.  |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2011 09:32 AM PST New research has found an intranasal form of oxytocin can improve self-perception and make introverted individuals feel like socialites.  |
| Alzheimer's antibodies developed Posted: 09 Dec 2011 07:57 AM PST Researchers have developed a new method to design antibodies aimed at combating disease. The surprisingly simple process was used to make antibodies that neutralize the harmful protein particles that are believed to lead to Alzheimer's disease.  |
| Novel therapeutic approach for liver cancer identified Posted: 09 Dec 2011 07:57 AM PST Cancer of the liver – rare in the United States but the third-leading cause of cancer death worldwide – can result from environmental exposures or infections like chronic hepatitis, but the link is poorly understood.  |
| New disinfection technique could revolutionize hospital room cleaning Posted: 09 Dec 2011 07:57 AM PST A Queen's University infectious disease expert has collaborated in the development of a disinfection system that may change the way hospital rooms all over the world are cleaned as well as stop bed bug outbreaks in hotels and apartments.  |
| Stress in early pregnancy can lead to shorter pregnancies and fewer baby boys Posted: 07 Dec 2011 05:17 PM PST Stress in the second and third months of pregnancy can shorten pregnancies, increase the risk of pre-term births and may affect the ratio of boys to girls being born, leading to a decline in male babies. These are the conclusions of a study that investigated the effect on pregnant women of the stress caused by the 2005 Tarapaca earthquake in Chile.  |
