| How our bodies interact with our minds in response to fear and other emotions Posted: 07 Apr 2013 06:15 PM PDT New research has shown that the way our minds react to and process emotions such as fear can vary according to what is happening in other parts of our bodies.  |
| Microalgae produce more oil faster for energy, food or products Posted: 07 Apr 2013 06:15 PM PDT Scientists have described technology that accelerates microalgae's ability to produce many different types of renewable oils for fuels, chemicals, foods and personal-care products within days using standard industrial fermentation.  |
| Do cells in the blood, heart and lungs smell the food we eat? Posted: 07 Apr 2013 03:35 PM PDT In a discovery suggesting that odors may have a far more important role in life than previously believed, scientists have found that heart, blood, lung and other cells in the body have the same receptors for sensing odors that exist in the nose. It opens the door to questions about whether the heart, for instance, "smells" that fresh-brewed cup of coffee or cinnamon bun.  |
| Device keeps human liver alive outside body Posted: 07 Apr 2013 12:01 PM PDT In a world first, a donated human liver has been 'kept alive' outside a human being and then successfully transplanted into a patient in need of a new liver.  |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2013 10:33 AM PDT A compound abundant in red meat and added as a supplement to popular energy drinks has been found to promote atherosclerosis -- or the hardening or clogging of the arteries.  |
| Brain's stress circuits undergo profound learning early in life, scientists find Posted: 07 Apr 2013 10:33 AM PDT Researchers have discovered that stress circuits in the brain undergo profound learning early in life. Using a number of cutting edge approaches, including optogenetics, scientists have shown stress circuits are capable of self-tuning following a single stress. These findings demonstrate that the brain uses stress experience during early life to prepare and optimize for subsequent challenges.  |
| Engineering algae to make the 'wonder material' nanocellulose for biofuels and more Posted: 07 Apr 2013 10:29 AM PDT Genes from the family of bacteria that produce vinegar, Kombucha tea and nata de coco have become stars in a project -- which scientists today said has reached an advanced stage -- that would turn algae into solar-powered factories for producing the "wonder material" nanocellulose. They have now reported on advances in getting those genes to produce fully functional nanocellulose.  |
| Lift weights to lower blood sugar? White muscle helps keep blood glucose levels under control Posted: 07 Apr 2013 10:29 AM PDT Researchers have challenged a long-held belief that whitening of skeletal muscle in diabetes is harmful.  |
| Fetal exposure to excessive stress hormones in the womb linked to adult mood disorders Posted: 07 Apr 2013 06:08 AM PDT Exposure of the developing fetus to excessive levels of stress hormones in the womb can cause mood disorders in later life and now, for the first time, researchers have found a mechanism that may underpin this process.  |
