Image: A one-year-old baby sits in a brain scanner, called magnetoencephalography (MEG)—a noninvasive approach to measuring brain activity. The baby listens to speech sounds such as “da” and “ta” played over headphones while researchers record her brain responses (Photo courtesy of the Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences at the University of Washington).

Brain Scanner Shows Infants’ Brains Rehearse Speech Sounds Months Before Their First Words

The new study suggests that babies’ brains begin establishing the foundation of how to form words long before they actually begin to speak and this may affect the developmental transition.  More...

Image: Blocking the activity of HSP101 may imprison the malaria parasite inside its protective vacuole within the red blood cell. In the electron micrograph, the malaria parasites appear in blue and uninfected red blood cells are shown in red (Photo courtesy of the [US] National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases).

Heat Shock Protein Plays Critical Role in Malaria Parasite Protein Trafficking

A pair of recent papers described the molecular operators that enable the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to export a large variety of proteins across the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane within which the parasite resides into the cytoplasm of the infected red blood cell. More...

Molecular Pathway Decreases Cell Adhesion and Initiates Metastasis

A recent paper outlined a molecular pathway that enables lung cancer cells to migrate away from the site of the primary tumor and become established in other parts of the body.  More...

Stereo Microscope Objective Designed for Specimens in Aqueous Solution

A new stereo-microscope has been developed specifically for use with specimens immersed in aqueous solution. With this objective, users can obtain pin sharp visualization of specimens with up to a 5-mm water column between the specimen and the objective. More...

Image: Microcomputed tomography images (top) and histology images (bottom) of the knees of mice fed a very high fat diet containing omega-3 fatty acid supplement (left) or only omega-6 fatty acids (right) after a knee injury. The omega-6 diet showed abnormal bone remodeling and calcified tissue formation in the joint (white arrow). The omega-6 diet also showed significant loss of cartilage (red staining, yellow arrowhead) and increased joint inflammation (Photo courtesy of Duke University).

Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acids Moderate Severity of Osteoarthritis in a Mouse Model

Researchers working with an osteoarthritis obese mouse model found that the fat content of the animals' diet contributed more to the development or arrest of OA than did body weight. More...

Cinnamon Feeding Blocks Development of Parkinson's Disease in Mouse Model

A team of neurological researchers has identified a molecular mechanism by which cinnamon acts to protect neurons from damage caused by Parkinson's disease (PD) in a mouse model of the syndrome. More...
