| Posted: 19 Jul 2013 08:21 AM PDT New research shows that, under certain conditions, using two drugs in a "targeted therapy" -- a treatment approach designed to interrupt cancer's ability to grow and spread -- nearly all cancers could be effectively cured.  |
| First global atlas of marine plankton reveals remarkable underwater world Posted: 19 Jul 2013 08:21 AM PDT Under the microscope, they look like they could be from another planet, but these microscopic organisms inhabit the depths of our oceans in nearly infinite numbers. To begin to identify where, when, and how much oceanic plankton can be found around the globe, international researchers have compiled the first ever global atlas cataloguing marine plankton.  |
| Lizards show evolution is predictable Posted: 19 Jul 2013 07:49 AM PDT If you could hit the reset button on evolution and start over, would essentially the same species appear? Yes, according to a study of Caribbean lizards.  |
| A warmer planetary haven around cool stars, as ice warms rather than cools Posted: 19 Jul 2013 07:31 AM PDT In a bit of cosmic irony, planets orbiting cooler stars may be more likely to remain ice-free than planets around hotter stars. This is due to the interaction of a star's light with ice and snow on the planet's surface.  |
| Posted: 19 Jul 2013 05:52 AM PDT As a class, people who don't drink at all have a higher mortality risk than light drinkers. But nondrinkers are a diverse bunch, and the reasons people have for abstaining affects their individual mortality risk, in some cases lowering it on par with the risk for light drinkers, according to a new study. Scientists calculated the mortality risk for each subgroup compared with the mortality risk for light drinkers, and they found that the risks varied markedly.  |
