Factor in naked mole rat's cells enhances protein integrity

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:54 PM PDT

A factor in naked mole rat cells could be one of the secrets to how the rodent defies aging, researchers say. Naked mole rats, which burrow through underground tunnels in their native East Africa, are nearly hairless rodents. They live as long as 32 years. Naked mole rats maintain cancer-free good health and reproductive potential well into their third decade of life.

Surprising discovery: HIV hides in gut, evading eradication

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:54 PM PDT

Some surprising discoveries about the body's initial responses to HIV infection have been made by researchers. One of the biggest obstacles to complete viral eradication and immune recovery is the stable HIV reservoir in the gut. There is very little information about the early viral invasion and the establishment of the gut reservoir. "We want to understand what enables the virus to invade the gut, cause inflammation and kill the immune cells," said the study's lead author.

Antidepressants show potential for postoperative pain

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:54 PM PDT

How studying damage to prefrontal lobe has helped unlock the brain's mysteries

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 10:55 AM PDT

Until the last few decades, the frontal lobes of the brain were shrouded in mystery and erroneously thought of as nonessential for normal function. Now a review highlights groundbreaking studies of patients with brain damage that reveal how distinct areas of the frontal lobes are critical for a person's ability to learn, multitask, control emotions, socialize, and make decisions. The findings have helped experts rehabilitate patients experiencing damage to this brain region.

Cicada study discovers two genomes that function as one

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 10:55 AM PDT

While studying cicadas, researchers discovered that Hodgkinia had subtly become more complex through a speciation event, in which the original lineage split to produce two separate but interdependent species of Hodgkinia. What was previously thought to be a tripartite, or a three-way symbiosis, is now proven to actually be a four-way symbiosis.

Zombie bacteria are nothing to be afraid of

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 10:52 AM PDT

The first experimental evidence has been obtained that there are at least two fail-safe points in the bacterial cell cycle. If the fail-safes are activated, the cell is forced to exit the cell cycle forever. It then enters a zombie-like state and is unable to reproduce even under the most favorable of conditions. Drugs that trigger the fail-safes are already under development.

Sensory-tested, woman-initiated drug-delivery vehicle could limit spread of HIV, AIDS

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 08:53 AM PDT

A unique method for delivering compounds that could positively impact the global battle against HIV and AIDS may be possible, American researchers say.
