When invasive plants take root, native animals pay the price
Biologists have completed a comprehensive meta-analytic review examining the ecological impacts of invasive plants by exploring how animals — indigenous and exotic — respond to these nonnative plants. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Scientists make major breakthrough in understanding common eye disease
Scientists have announced a major breakthrough with important implications for sufferers of a common eye disease — dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) — which can cause total blindness in sufferers, and for which there are currently no approved therapies.

Having a parent, sibling, or child with blood cancer increases one’s own risk
New data suggest that people who have a parent, sibling, or child with blood cancer have a higher likelihood of being diagnosed with the disease. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Stony corals: Limits of adaption
Corals have been dominant framework builders of reef structures for millions of years. Ocean acidification, which is intensifying as climate change progresses, is increasingly affecting coral growth. Scientists have now answered some questions regarding whether and how corals can adapt to these changes by having gained important insights into the regulatory processes of coral calcification.…
Brain researchers invent an affordable smartphone measurement for testing of medications
Brain researchers have invented an inexpensive method to measure tremor as known from Parkinson’s disease in mice. The method utilises the accelerometer in a smartphone to measure the tremor. The new invention allows researchers to measure how various medications affect tremors, in a much more affordable and expedient way. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.…
Oil rigs could pump CO2 emissions into rocks beneath North Sea

Two-in-one contrast agent for medical imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualizes internal body structures, often with the help of contrast agents to enhance sensitivity. Scientists have now developed a bimodal contrast agent suited for two imaging techniques at once, namely, MRI and a technique called photoacoustic imaging. The use of only one contrast agent for two imaging techniques improves the sensitivity…
Data analysis tool to help scientists make sense of mouse’s calls
Technology that can help interpret inaudible calls from laboratory mice has been developed in a bid to improve research. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
High-energy lasers could be used to treat Alzheimer’s disease in the future
The aggregation of amyloid protein fibrils is involved in diseases such as amyloidosis and even Alzheimer’s. Thus, dissociation of these amyloid fibrils is crucial from a biological perspective. However, because of their rigid, stacked sheet-like structure, their dissociation is difficult. A group of scientists has explored the use of free-electron laser to break down these…
