    Multicellular Response Is 'All For One'
    Real or perceived threats can trigger the well-known "fight or flight response" in humans and other animals. Adrenaline flows, and the stressed individual's heart pumps faster, the muscles work harder, the brain sharpens and non-essential systems shut down. The whole organism responds in concert in order to survive.

    Computer Game Could Benefit World Health
    Gamers have devoted countless years of collective brainpower to rescuing princesses or protecting the planet against alien invasions. This week researchers at the University of Washington will try to harness those finely honed skills to make medical discoveries, perhaps even finding a cure for HIV.A new game, named Foldit, turns protein folding into a competitive sport.

    New Link To Schizophrenia Discovered By Hopkins Researchers
    Neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins have discovered that mice lacking an enzyme that contributes to Alzheimer disease exhibit a number of schizophrenia-like behaviors. The finding raises the possibility that this enzyme may participate in the development of schizophrenia and related psychiatric disorders and therefore may provide a new target for developing therapies.

    New Cost-Effective Means To Reconstruct Virus Populations
     Researchers from the United States and Switzerland have developed mathematical and statistical tools for reconstructing viral populations using pyrosequencing, a novel and effective technique for sequencing DNA. They describe their findings in an article published May 9th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology .

    Eliminating Disease-Causing Genes With Bread Mold?
    When most people discover mold on their bread, they immediately throw it out. Others see a world of possibilities in the tiny fungus. A University of Missouri scientist, along with a collaborative research team, has examined a new mechanism in the reproductive cycle of a certain species of mold. This mechanism protects the organism from genetic abnormalities by "silencing" unmatched genes during meiosis (sexual reproduction).

    Magnet Lab Researchers Make Observing Cell Functions Easier
    Now that the genome (DNA) of humans and many other organisms have been sequenced, biologists are turning their attention to discovering how the many thousands of structural and control genes -- the "worker bees" of living cells that can turn genes on and off -- function.To do that, they need to develop new techniques and tools.

    Fungus Resistance At Molecular Level Keeps Tomatoes From Wilting
    According to a study published in the open-access journal PLoSPathogens, researchers at the University of Amsterdam havediscovered how to conquer the wilting tomato. Dr. Martijn Repand colleagues reached their conclusions by studying the molecularlevel of the tomato.Plants pathogens are remarkably talented when it comes to evolvingalong with the immune systems of their hosts, farmers andagriculturalists have to constantly adapt to this evolutionary ability.

    Molecules In Plants May Have Beneficial Effect On Alzheimer's Disease
    A set of molecules found in certain plants appears to have a beneficial effect in brain tissue associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study conducted in mice. The study was led by researchers at the University of South Florida and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. An article in the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine is available online.Terrence Town, Ph.D., one of the senior authors of the study, is available to provide more information about this study.

    Artificial Golgi Created By Undergrad
    An undergraduate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has learned very quickly that a spoonful of sugar really does help the medicine go down. In fact, with his invention, the sugar may actually be the medicine.Among the most important and complex molecules in the human body, sugars control not just metabolism but also how cells communicate with one another.
