| Humans and chimps share genetic strategy in battle against pathogens Posted: 14 Feb 2013 11:16 AM PST A search for long-lived balancing selection has found at least six regions of the genome where humans and chimpanzees share a combination of genetic variants. These human genetic variation dates back to a common ancestor with chimpanzees millions of years ago, before the species split.  |
| Nitric oxide: A little molecule's remarkable feat -- prolonging life, worm study shows Posted: 14 Feb 2013 10:26 AM PST Nitric oxide, the versatile gas that helps increase blood flow, transmit nerve signals, and regulate immune function, appears to perform one more biological feat -— prolonging the life of an organism and fortifying it against environmental stress, according to a new study.  |
