| Treadmill running with heavier shoes tied to slower race times Posted: 28 Oct 2016 01:18 PM PDT It makes sense that running with heavier shoes on will cause you to exert more energy than running with lighter shoes. That was proven several decades ago. But does using more energy while running with heavier shoes translate into slower running times? That's also a yes, say researchers who designed a clever study to show that running times slow when running shoe weight is increased, even if only by a few ounces. |
| Pop-culture news helped destigmatize out-of-wedlock childbirth Posted: 28 Oct 2016 11:21 AM PDT Celebrity news reports over the past four decades appear to have contributed to the changing makeup of the traditional American family by helping to destigmatize out-of-wedlock childbirths in the United States, according to a study. |
| With cancer genome sequencing, be your own control Posted: 28 Oct 2016 08:53 AM PDT When a researcher found more than 1,000 genetic translocations in her mouse model of B cell lymphoma, she assumed her lab had made a mistake. To rule out experimental technique as the cause of the way-more-than-expected genomic alterations, the lab sequenced three different types of cells from "wildtype" mice - effectively the kind that might move into your garage in bad weather. Like the lymphoma cells before them, the cells from wildtype mice also had over a 1,000 translocations. |
| Exploring the evolution of spider venom to improve human health Posted: 28 Oct 2016 06:01 AM PDT More than 46,000 species of spiders creepy crawl across the globe. Each one produces a venom composed of an average of 500 distinct toxins, putting the conservative estimate of unique venom compounds at more than 22 million. Researchers are studying these toxins to increase our understanding of the evolution of spider venom and contribute to the development of new medicines, anti-venoms and research tools. |
| 3-D tumors grown in the lab provide new perspective for cancer drug discovery Posted: 27 Oct 2016 09:35 AM PDT Understanding how cells within tumors respond to drugs is a critical issue in anticancer drug development. In a new article, researchers report a new approach to study cancer cells' reactions to treatments and present how it can be used to find new promising drug combinations. |
| Could apps be the answer to self-managing diabetes? Posted: 27 Oct 2016 08:52 AM PDT Smart phone apps could offer patients with type 2 diabetes a highly effective method of self-managing their condition, concludes a new study. |
| Better, faster ways of searching for antibiotics Posted: 27 Oct 2016 08:52 AM PDT Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a major problem worldwide. Scientists explored innovative methods of developing new antibiotics more simply and more easily. |
