Ebola Update: Vaccines in Tests, Spike in Mali, Dips in Liberia

Ebola Update: Vaccines in Tests, Spike in Mali, Dips in Liberia
No cases of Ebola remain in the United States at the moment, but researchers are busy working on vaccines as the virus continues to spread in West Africa. In a few areas in Liberia, cases may be on the decline, new reports find. Researchers working on a vaccine against the Zaire strain of Ebola virus,…

80 million bacteria sealed with a kiss

80 million bacteria sealed with a kiss
As many as 80 million bacteria are transferred during a 10 second kiss, according to research published in the open access journalMicrobiome. The study also found that partners who kiss each other at least nine times a day share similar communities of oral bacteria. The ecosystem of more than 100 trillion microorganisms that live in…

Can the Long-Extinct Woolly Mammoth Be Cloned?

Can the Long-Extinct Woolly Mammoth Be Cloned?
A woolly mammoth carcass recently unearthed in Siberia could be the best hope yet for scientists aiming to clone the massive, long-extinct beast. The mammoth specimen, which was discovered in 2013 in a remote part of Siberia, oozed a deep red liquid when it was first discovered. Scientists have now analyzed the mammoth to understand…

From single cells to multicellular life: Researchers capture the emergence of multicellular life in real-time experiments

From single cells to multicellular life: Researchers capture the emergence of multicellular life in real-time experiments
All ulticellular creatures are descended from single-celled organisms. The leap from unicellularity to multicellularity is possible only if the originally independent cells collaborate. So-called cheating cells that exploit the cooperation of others are considered a major obstacle. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön, Germany, together with researchers from New Zealand and…

Mystery solved: Where the penis comes from

Mystery solved: Where the penis comes from
It’s not a question a lot of scientists ponder out loud, but it’s key to much of life on Earth: Exactly how does the penis form?  Today, two teams of researchers report having solved one part of this mystery, pinpointing how the organ gets its start in snake, lizard, mouse, and chick embryos. Now that…

Arctic warming: Scientists identify new driver

Arctic warming: Scientists identify new driver
The research was led by scientists from the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). They studied a long-wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum called far infrared. It's invisible to our eyes but accounts for about half the energy emitted by Earth's surface. This process balances out incoming solar energy. Despite its importance…

Genetic markers for alcoholism recovery discovered

Genetic markers for alcoholism recovery discovered
In an international study, Mayo Clinic researchers and collaborators have identified genetic markers that may help in identifying individuals who could benefit from the alcoholism treatment drug acamprosate. The findings, published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, show that patients carrying these genetic variants have longer periods of abstinence during the first three months of acamprosate treatment.…

Madagascar Fossil Offers Clues in Evolution of Mammals

Madagascar Fossil Offers Clues in Evolution of Mammals
Four years ago, while searching for fish fossils on Madagascar, paleontologists came upon what proved to be a well-preserved cranium of a mammal that lived about 66 million to 70 million years ago, in the closing epoch of the mighty dinosaurs. Such a discovery, expected to provide new and important insights into early mammalian evolution,…

Identifying significant biological markers in Klotho gene variants across wide ranging taxonomy

Identifying significant biological markers in Klotho gene variants across wide ranging taxonomy
Tommy Rodriguez Department of Research & Development, Pangaea Biosciences, Miami, FL, USA Email: trodriguez[@]pangaeabio.com Journal of Molecular Biology Research. doi: 10.5539/jmbr.v5n1p11 Abstract Biological aging is marked by progressively degenerative physiological change that causes damage to tissues and organs. Errors in biopolymers accumulate over time; mitochondrial dysfunction, telomere attrition, and wider genomic instability lead to an…
