| Effects of climate change to further degrade fisheries resources Posted: 20 Nov 2011 10:48 AM PST A new study reveals how the effect of climate change can further impact the economic viability of current fisheries practices. |
| Nerve cells key to making sense of our senses Posted: 20 Nov 2011 10:48 AM PST The human brain is bombarded with a cacophony of information from the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and skin. Now scientists have unraveled how the brain manages to process those complex, rapidly changing, and often conflicting sensory signals to make sense of our world. |
| Carbon cycling was much smaller during last ice age than in today's climate Posted: 20 Nov 2011 10:47 AM PST A reconstruction of plants' productivity and the amount of carbon stored in the ocean and terrestrial biosphere at the last ice age has just been completed. The research greatly increases our understanding of natural carbon cycle dynamics. |
| Genetic rearrangements drive 5 to 7 percent of breast cancers Posted: 20 Nov 2011 10:47 AM PST Researchers have discovered two cancer-spurring gene rearrangements that may trigger 5 to 7 percent of all breast cancers. |
| New class of small molecules discovered through innovative chemistry Posted: 20 Nov 2011 10:47 AM PST Inspired by natural products, scientists have now created a new class of small molecules with the potential to serve as a rich foundation for drug discovery. |
| Weak spot discovered on deadly ebolavirus Posted: 20 Nov 2011 10:47 AM PST Scientists have isolated and analyzed an antibody that neutralizes Sudan virus, a major species of ebolavirus and one of the most dangerous human pathogens. |
| Public asked to help in fight against malaria Posted: 19 Nov 2011 12:35 PM PST IBM's Watson computing system broke new ground earlier this year when it defeated two celebrated human competitors on the Jeopardy! game show. Now, The Scripps Research Institute is hoping to do something equally novel but more critical to human health with part of the prize money from that tournament: Find a cure for drug-resistant malaria. And it's asking for the public's help. |
| Corals can sense what's coming Posted: 18 Nov 2011 10:30 AM PST Scientists have thrown new light on the mechanism behind the mass death of corals worldwide as the Earth's climate warms. Coral bleaching, one of the most devastating events affecting coral reefs around the planet, is triggered by rising water temperatures. It occurs when the corals and their symbiotic algae become heat-stressed, and the algae which feed the corals either die or are expelled by the coral. |
