The first experiences with exotic species in the Basque Country, and alternative to Pinus radiata, were undertaken in 1957, concretely in Laukiz, Lezama and Alonsotegui (Muro, 1975) where the eucalyptus, amongst other forest species, was introduced. The expansion of rapid growth plantations such as those of eucalyptus came about in order to meet the needs of the growing paper pulp industry. Blights and diseases arose as one of the main threats to the plantations based on non-native species (Wingfield, 2003; Old et al., 2003). http://www.physorg.com/news173354886.html Biology Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:30:03 EST news173354886 A team of researchers from the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) have developed a mathematical classification which makes it possible to select human embryos for use in assisted reproduction treatments. Scientists have used the morphology of embryos to select the best candidates for implantation in the woman's uterus. http://www.physorg.com/news154706235.html Biology Tue, 24 Feb 2009 13:58:16 EST news154706235 Anti-inflammatory drugs affect the cells taking part in inflammatory processes, but also those that do not. This is why it is important to develop specific anti-inflammatory drugs which affect healthy cells. With this aim in mind, a team from the University of the Basque Country is working on analogues of the C1P molecule. http://www.physorg.com/news150644472.html Medicine & Health Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:41:12 EST news150644472 A PhD thesis at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) has studied the origin of the mutation that causes Fatal Familiar Insomnia (FFI). In the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country there is a high rate of carriers of this mutation - 50% of all the cases registered in the whole of Spain. http://www.physorg.com/news150543247.html Medicine & Health Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:34:07 EST news150543247
