...g ESA's ERS-2 and now Envisat. They are working to uncover connections between the apparently meandering routes followed by turtles and the local ocean conditions, and so develop strategies to minimise the unintended but deadly threat posed to leatherbacks by deep-sea fishing. These giant reptiles - known...Coordinating power of circadian rhythms keeps estrus and pregnancy on track
...searchers at Northwestern University have begun to uncover the basis for how the daily patterns of biological behavior known as circadian rhythms are able to control complex events such as reproduction, which in female mammals requires precise but dynamic regulation of hormone levels. Many biological...Gene expression in liver tumors and patient prognosis

...ot. This multi-pronged approach will allow them to uncover the neural and muscular control and feedback loops that lead to the remarkably similar patterns of whole-body motion in animals as diverse as crabs, cockroaches, lizards, dogs and humans. "The robot has to operate in the real world, like the anim......n research laboratories are focused on research to uncover biochemical and molecular-based intervention strategies to halt and/or reverse the human carcinogenesis process," Dr. Alberts said. Summing up his current work, Dr. Alberts added, "We are just beginning mechanistic studies of novel agents which hit a...
