| ADHD News | |
| The Power Of Astrocytes, Once Considered Just 'Brain Glue' A type of cell plentiful in the brain, long considered mainly the stuff that holds the brain together and oft-overlooked by scientists more interested in flashier cells known as neurons, wields more power in the brain than has been realized, according to new research published in Science Signaling. | 31 Mar 2012 |
| Biology / Biochemistry News | |
| "Backpacking" Bacteria Ferry Nano-Medicines Scientists looking for ways to get minute doses of drugs, so-called "nano-medicines", into the right places in the human body have turned to "backpacking" bacteria to ferry the cargo. This week, at the 243rd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in San Diego, Dr David H Gracias, from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, gave an account of the progress he and his team are making in this area. | 31 Mar 2012 |
| Bird Flu / Avian Flu News | |
| Study Identifies Genetic Regulators Hijacked By Avian And Swine Flu Viruses Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a number of tiny but powerful "genetic regulators" that are hijacked by avian and swine flu viruses during human infection.The discovery, published in the Journal of Virology, could reveal new targets for broad-spectrum antivirals to combat current - and perhaps future - strains of influenza A viruses. | 31 Mar 2012 |
