| NASA beams Mona Lisa to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter at the moon Posted: 17 Jan 2013 03:34 PM PST As part of the first demonstration of laser communication with a satellite at the moon, scientists with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter beamed an image of the Mona Lisa to the spacecraft from Earth.  |
| Why wolves are forever wild, but dogs can be tamed Posted: 17 Jan 2013 12:20 PM PST An evolutionary biologist suggests the different behaviors are related to the animals' earliest sensory experiences and the critical period of socialization.  |
| Luminescent mice used to track cancer and aging in real-time Posted: 17 Jan 2013 12:19 PM PST Researchers have developed a new method to visualize aging and tumor growth in mice using a gene closely linked to these processes.  |
| Is athleticism linked to brain size? Exercise-loving mice have larger midbrains Posted: 17 Jan 2013 10:33 AM PST Is athleticism linked to brain size? Researchers performed laboratory experiments on house mice and found that mice that have been bred for dozens of generations to be more exercise-loving have larger midbrains than those that have not been selectively bred this way -- the first example in which selection for a particular mammalian behavior has been shown to result in a change in size of a specific brain region.  |
| How cells know when it's time to eat themselves Posted: 17 Jan 2013 10:29 AM PST Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism regulating autophagy, a fundamental stress response used by cells to help ensure their survival in adverse conditions.  |
| 'Shell-shocked' crabs can feel pain Posted: 16 Jan 2013 04:53 PM PST The food and aquaculture industries should reconsider how they treat live crustaceans such as crabs, prawns and lobsters. That's according to a researcher who has found that crabs are likely to feel pain.  |
