...ns. But the Department of Energy seems willing to sacrifice the animals of the deep sea if it will stop global warming. That's not entirely unreasonable considering that if we keep stalling on taking serious measures to reduce global warming, we won't be able to do anything about it. But I'd still like to s...UGA scientists test less lethal means to determine contaminant uptake
...ls that live there, traditionally they have had to sacrifice test animals to collect tissue for contaminant level testing. According to a paper just published in Environmental Science & Technology, scientists at the University of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) have used a technique called ...Sex and gender scientists explore a revolution in evolution
...traits. The male praying mantis, for example, will sacrifice himself for love - the female begins to eat him even as they copulate. He doesn't survive long after finding his mate, but he does pass on his genes. Darwin postulated that females are ''coy,'' mating rarely and choosing their mates carefully, presum...Zengen, Inc. announces novel approach to reduce organ rejection

Results show that median survival time of the peptide-treated organs was significantly prolonged (10 days) as compared to the untreated ones (6 days) (p<0.0001).

The process is further complicated by the fact that individual mice respond differently to infection. "One must make a leap of faith that a mouse sacrificed on......market. "It's been disastrous," he says. "We can't sacrifice food security on the altar of free-market economics."...... "These findings suggest that life scientists will sacrifice pay, benefits, prestige and lifestyle to have the opportunity to fully utilize their scientific skills in pursuit of knowledge and discovery," the AAAS survey concludes. METHODS: The AAAS jobs survey was mailed to some 19,000 life scientists. A 46-pe......ventually help treat blood diseases in humans. Why sacrifice a glorious Boston summer for the dark and cold of the greater South Pole area?
