Humans are known to be genetically similar to our primate relatives. But major differences can be found in our saliva, according to new research by scientists at the Forsyth Institute and the University of Buffalo. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

Biologists modeled how a chimeric Frog virus 3 (FV3)-like ranavirus, also known as RCV-Z2, could spread rapidly throughout a population of North American wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) tadpoles. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

Research combining future climate conditions and arsenic-induced soil stresses predicts rice yields could decline about 40 percent by 2100, a loss that would impact about 2 billion people dependent on the global crop.

A new tool uses an interactive database of geographic and genetic information to quickly identify where the confiscated tusks of African elephants were originally poached. It matches genetic sequences from poached ivory to those in the database. It relies on genetic information from a small, highly variable region of mitochondrial DNA from African elephants. This…

A new study shows that measles wipes out 20 to 50 percent of antibodies against an array of viruses and bacteria, depleting a child’s previous immunity. A measles-ravaged immune system must ‘relearn’ how to protect the body against infections. The study details the mechanism and scope of this measles-induced ‘immune amnesia.’ The findings underscore the…

Men with higher levels of ‘free’ testosterone and a growth hormone in their blood are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to research presented at the 2019 NCRI Cancer Conference. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

The apelin receptor (APJ) has been presumed to play an important role in the contraction of blood vessels involved in blood pressure regulation. A research team found that APJ was closely associated with hypertension through effects on vascular smooth muscle cells in laboratory mice. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.

Low blood oxygen is more common in sick children than previously thought, and strongly increases children’s risk of death, Australian-led research has found. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

There are major gaps in how food waste in tourism is understood and calculated, according to researchers. Food waste originating from hotels, restaurants and events is recognized and can be estimated and calculated, but as the tourism industry is becoming more and more diverse, so are the sources of its food waste.

Interval Walking Training is a method that is effective in increasing overall fitness and decreasing healthcare costs associated with lifestyle-related diseases of the middle-aged and elderly. High-intensity walking time is the key. Participants who walk longer at 70% or more of their maximum capacity see improvements in health and fitness. 50 minutes a week is…

Researchers used a rotary evaporator to coax non-chiral molecules to form supermolecules of a specific helicity. This work may be used to synthesize cheaper pharmaceuticals, and also explain how the handedness of biomolecules originated. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.
