Researchers improve detection of diverse anthrax strains
...work on the large global anthrax collection, which maximized the information that was ultimately obtained from the whole genome sequencing effort. Similar efforts without such forethought would be ineffective at defining major bacterial populations. This study shows that diverse strains of pathogens will n...Human running on surfaces of different stiffnesses

Methodology Eight male subjects [mean body mass: 74.4 7.1 (SD) kg; leg length: 0.96 0.05 m] ran at 3.7 meters/s on a level treadmill fitted with track platforms of five different compliances. All subjects wore...New mutant mouse repositories established for biomedical researcher community

... "This level would achieve a mean of 57 percent of maximized peak bone mass," Weaver says. "Our paper calls for an increase in calcium intake." Weaver recommends 1,300 milligrams of calcium per day. A cup of milk or yogurt contains about 300 milligrams of calcium, so the new standard for adolescents calls for ...
