| 'Dabbling' in hard drugs in middle age linked to increased risk of death Posted: 27 Jan 2012 02:47 PM PST Data could lead to better advice for primary-care doctors struggling with a rising tide of older adult patients still in throes of youthful bad habits.  |
| Teens have fewer behavioral issues when parents stay involved Posted: 27 Jan 2012 01:24 PM PST When parents of middle school students participate in school-based, family interventions, it can reduce problem behavior, according to new research.  |
| Scientists probe form, function of mysterious protein Posted: 27 Jan 2012 11:10 AM PST Using computer models and laboratory experiments, scientists have probed the structure of the protein mitoNEET to better understand its role in aging, cancer and diabetes. They found the protein could untangle its arms at one end to loosen its grip on a potentially toxic molecule of iron and sulfur.  |
| Sex role stereotyping and prejudices in children explored Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:59 AM PST Girls are not as good at playing football as boys, and they do not have a clue about cars. Instead they know better how to dance and do not get into mischief as often as boys. Prejudices like these are cultivated from early childhood onwards by almost everyone, a researcher asserts.  |
| Collaborative research sheds light on new cancer stem cell therapies Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:54 AM PST New anti-cancer research has led to the development of a novel class of chemical inhibitors that specifically target cancer cells with pluripotency.  |
| Jostling for position: Competition at the root of diversity in rainforests Posted: 26 Jan 2012 11:29 AM PST Another attractive theory falls foul of the facts. A census of trees in rainforests on three continents has confirmed that competition plays a central role in structuring communities. This contradicts the so-called neutral theory in ecology, which views random fluctuations as the decisive factor.  |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2012 08:59 AM PST Asian women who consumed an average of 200 milligrams or more of caffeine a day -- the equivalent of roughly two cups of coffee -- had elevated estrogen levels when compared to women who consumed less, according to a study of reproductive age women.  |
| Hurricane Katrina survivors struggle with mental health years later Posted: 26 Jan 2012 06:25 AM PST Survivors of Hurricane Katrina have struggled with poor mental health for years after the storm, according to a new study of low-income mothers in the New Orleans area.  |
