Although a trip to summer camp is highly anticipated by over 11 million children and adults each year, sending a child off to summer camp can be a source of anxiety for parents. Findings from a new study published in the December issue of Injury Prevention should ease their concerns however. http://www.physorg.com/news179512999.html Medicine & Health Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:43:53 EST news179512999 The Batavians, who lived in the Netherlands at the start of the Christian era were far more Roman than was previously thought. After just a few decades of Roman occupation, the Batavians had become so integrated that they cooked, built and bathed in a Roman manner. Dutch researcher Stijn Heeren discovered this during archaeological research. http://www.physorg.com/news175507383.html Other Sciences Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:20:01 EST news175507383 (AP) -- Standing at the edge of a clear pond in the Idaho mountains on a cold day in early October, former U.S. Marine Angel Gomez made a timid cast with his fly fishing rod. http://www.physorg.com/news175141984.html Medicine & Health Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:33:55 EST news175141984 When starved of their food source and then presented with a chemoattractant signal like cAMP, individual Dictyostelium cells acquire a polarized morphology and aggregate to form a migrating stream. This is the first step in a developmental program that culminates in the formation of a multicellular organism. Kriebel et al. show how this streaming response is coordinated at a single-cell level in the December 1, 2008 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology. http://www.physorg.com/news147353248.html Biology Mon, 01 Dec 2008 11:27:28 EST news147353248 Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the Moores UCSD Cancer Center have discovered what could be a novel drug target for an often difficult-to-treat form of leukemia. The investigators have identified a unique "signature" or pattern of a specific family of enzymes in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common form of adult leukemia. http://www.physorg.com/news146767923.html Medicine & Health Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:52:03 EST news146767923 In today's issue of the prestigious journal Cell Metabolism Uppsala scientists are presenting new findings that shed light on the processes that determine the release of the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin. The discovery is based on the development of image analysis methods that make possible the detailed study of events immediately inside the plasma membrane of the insulin-secreting cells. http://www.physorg.com/news134135428.html Medicine & Health Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:50:28 EST news134135428
