| Intestinal worms may help promote healing Posted: 10 Jan 2012 04:27 PM PST Intestinal worm infections may not be all bad, according to a new study. In research on mice immune reaction to the presence of intestinal worms was found to promote wound healing in the lungs.  |
| Genetic predisposition to disease common in two supercentenarians Posted: 03 Jan 2012 10:53 AM PST The first-ever published whole-genome sequences of not just one, but two supercentenarians, aged more than 114 years, reveal that both unusual and common genetic phenomena contribute to the genetic background of extreme human longevity. Data from the study will be available to researchers around the world at the NIH data repository.  |
| Blood-sucking mosquitoes keep their cool Posted: 15 Dec 2011 10:57 AM PST No one likes being bitten by whining mosquitoes, but have you ever considered what the experience is like for them as their cold-blooded bodies fill with our warm blood? Now researchers repor have uncovered the mosquitoes' secret to avoiding heat stress: they give up cooling droplets of their hard-won meals.  |

| In tackling lead pollution, fungi may be our friends Posted: 12 Jan 2012 10:43 AM PST Fungi may be unexpected allies in our efforts to keep hazardous lead under control. That's based on the unexpected discovery that fungi can transform lead into its most stable mineral form. The findings suggest that this interaction between fungi and lead may be occurring in nature anywhere the two are found together. It also suggests that the introduction or encouragement of fungi may be a useful treatment strategy for lead-polluted sites.  |

| Researchers use sugar to halt esophageal cancer in its tracks Posted: 15 Jan 2012 12:09 PM PST Scientists have identified changes in the patterns of sugar molecules that line pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus, a condition called Barrett's dysplasia, making it much easier to detect and remove these cells before they develop into esophageal cancer. These findings have important implications for patients and may help to monitor their condition and prevent the development of cancer.  |
| Scientists introduces automated imaging to greatly speed whole-brain mapping efforts Posted: 15 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST New technology transforms the way detailed anatomical images can be made of whole brains and will greatly facilitate systematic comparison of neuroanatomy in mouse models of human brain disorders, e.g., autism and schizophrenia.  |

The Cynical Girl: The Week Ahead |  |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2012 03:45 AM PST
This is post #52 in my “The Week Ahead” series. Thanks for sticking with this weekly series for over a year! January is my month when I get stuff done. Birthday. Eye exam. Dentist. Pap smear. Car inspection. Anti-aging facial. You know, the important things. I am running way behind but I did go to the dentist and get my car inspected. Small victories for a woman with a tremendous amount of #suburbanproblems. Imma be just fine. What’s up with you guys? Anything new and exciting? Anyone get a raise? This week I’ll be blogging about cruise ships, Qatar, and the Golden Globes. I might blog about SOPA, Angela Merkel, and the Wii. So stay tuned for all that excitement. And one more thing — I’ll be adding to my business travel pictures, this week. My goal is to take a picture from each hotel I visit in 2012. I’m ambitious like that, obvs.               |
