A form of Ebola virus has been detected in pigs for the first time raising concerns it could mutate and threaten humans scientists report.
New Role Discovered for Molecule Important in Development of Endocrine System
Published July 9, 2009, 1:05 pm, PhysOrg
(PhysOrg.com) -- For years researchers have been searching for a way to treat diabetics by reactivating their insulin-producing beta cells, to no avail. Now, they may be one step closer. A protein, whose role in pancreatic development has long been recognized, has been discovered to play an additional and previously unknown regulatory role in the development of cells in the immature endocrine ...

Study: Digging in beach sand increases risk of gastrointestinal illness
Published July 9, 2009, 12:50 pm, PhysOrg
(PhysOrg.com) -- Children and adults who build castles and dig in the sand at the beach are at greater risk of developing gastrointestinal diseases and diarrhea than people who only walk on the shore or swim in the surf, according to researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Self-learning security system for computer networks
Published July 9, 2009, 12:05 pm, PhysOrg
Cyber attacks on computer networks are becoming increasingly commonplace. To counter the threat, they are protected by so-called network intrusion detection systems. But these fail to identify some attacks, or do not spot them until it is too late. To improve matters, Damiano Bolzoni of the University of Twente (The Netherlands) has developed a system which paves the way for a new generation of ...

Research may hold key to maintaining embryonic stem cells in lab
Published July 9, 2009, 11:21 am, PhysOrg
In a new study that could transform embryonic stem cell (ES cell) research, scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered why mouse ES cells can be easily grown in a laboratory while other mammalian ES cells are difficult, if not impossible, to maintain.
Methane-eating microbes can use iron and manganese oxides to 'breathe'
Published July 9, 2009, 11:20 am, PhysOrg
Iron and manganese compounds, in addition to sulfate, may play an important role in converting methane to carbon dioxide and eventually carbonates in the Earth's oceans, according to a team of researchers looking at anaerobic sediments. These same compounds may have been key to methane reduction in the early, oxygenless days of the planet's atmosphere.
Capturing cell 'fingerprints' to advance cancer screening
Published July 9, 2009, 11:20 am, PhysOrg
(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at Northeastern University have developed an early-stage, highly accurate cancer screening technology that determines -- in seconds -- whether a cell is cancerous, precancerous or normal.
