Increased leaf abundance is a double-edged sword
A substantial portion of the planet is greening in response to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide, nitrogen deposition, global warming and land use change. The increase in leafy green coverage, or
Infections, other factors raise risk of pregnancy-related stroke in women with preeclampsia
Women with preeclampsia are at higher risk of stroke during pregnancy and after delivery. But while preeclampsia affects 3 percent to 8 percent of all pregnancies, pregnancy-related stroke remain rare.

Fruit flies journey to International Space Station to study effects of zero gravity on the heart
Living in zero gravity is known to negatively impact the body’s cardiovascular system. Roughly 75% of disease-causing genes in humans are also found in the fruit fly, and most of
Isolated Greek villages reveal genetic secrets that protect against heart disease
In Mylopotamos, northern Crete the population are unusual as they have a diet that is rich in animal fat and should cause health complications, yet they have good health and
Knowledge gap on the origin of sex
Greater focus on ecological aspects would increase this knowledge, according to evolutionary biologists at Lund University, who have reviewed a lot of the research conducted in this field in the
DNA ladders: Inexpensive molecular rulers for DNA research
“DNA ladders, also known as DNA molecular weight markers, are among the most commonly used reagents in molecular biology research,” said Tan. “They are used in any application that requires
Diesel pollution linked to heart damage
“There is strong evidence that particulate matter (PM) emitted mainly from diesel road vehicles is associated with increased risk of heart attack, heart failure, and death,” said lead author Dr
Century-old drug as potential new approach to autism

Sweetening connection between cancer and sugar
“It has been suspected that many cancer cells are heavily dependent on sugar as their energy supply, but it turns out that one specific type — squamous cell carcinoma —
New cellular target may put the brakes on cancer’s ability to spread
The new findings are important, the researchers said, because 90 percent of cancer deaths are caused by metastasis, and anything that derails this activity could improve the prognosis for patients.
