We usually think of fish as a "heart-healthy" food. Now fish are helping researchers better understand how heart disease develops in studies that could lead to new drugs to slow disease and prevent heart attacks. http://www.physorg.com/news155495877.html Medicine & Health Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:18:28 EST news155495877 (PhysOrg.com) -- Albert Einstein may have written his last scientific theory more than half a century ago, but he's still honing his emotional intelligence in a laboratory at the University of California, San Diego. http://www.physorg.com/news153760125.html Electronics Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:09:23 EST news153760125 (PhysOrg.com) -- New imaging and high capacity wireless communications systems are one step closer to reality, thanks to a millimeter wave amplifier invented at the University of California, San Diego and unveiled on Feb 11, 2009 at the prestigious International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco, Calif. http://www.physorg.com/news153582213.html Technology Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:45:00 EST news153582213 (PhysOrg.com) -- With their immersive 3D capabilities, virtual-reality environments (VEs) provide the kind of intense visual experience that two-dimensional digital televisions could never to live up to. But digital TVs outperform VEs in one important way: They can play high-resolution video in real-time without a hitch, while VEs have trouble rendering the data-heavy video clips at a constant frame rate. http://www.physorg.com/news152981636.html Technology Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:55:59 EST news152981636 A paper co-authored by Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and director of UC San Diego's Statin Study group cites nearly 900 studies on the adverse effects of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), a class of drugs widely used to treat high cholesterol. http://www.physorg.com/news152273287.html Medicine & Health Tue, 27 Jan 2009 10:08:38 EST news152273287 Can't help being the life of the party?

Their findings, to be published in the January 1 issue of the journal Nature, explain how advanced cancer cells usurp components of the host innate immune system to generate an inflammatory microenvironment hospitable for the metastatic spread of lung cancer. The discovery could lead to a therapy to limit metastasis of this most common lethal form of cancer. http://www.physorg.com/news149951977.html Medicine & Health Wed, 31 Dec 2008 13:19:37 EST news149951977 Dollar signs for eyes - cartoonists have been drawing them for years, and the artists, while whimsical, may have been onto something.
