Melanin: Aging of the Skin and Skin Cancer
"Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is responsible for 90% of the visible signs of aging on the skin of whites," says Dr. Michael J. Martin, former Assistant Clinical Professor in the Dept. of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at University of California, San Francisco. Blacks' skin, however, ages much slower. Why are most dark-skinned blacks protected from harmful UV rays? Because compared to whites, blacks possess more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Melanin Melanin offers protection against UV rays for blacks and other dark-skinned people. Conversely, fair-sk ...

New Gene Tool May Unlock Root Causes of Disease
Copyright 2005 Daily News Central
Genetic researchers have made substantial advances in understanding the root causes of common diseases and the history of human evolution, according to a series of reports published in scientific journals this week.
Chief among these accomplishments is the work of an international consortium of more than 200 scientists from Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States published in the October 27 issue of the journal Nature.
The team studied DNA samples from four different parts of the world and concluded that gen ...

GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS IN XENOBIOTIC METABOLISM AS SUSCEPTIBILITY FACTORS FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE (R827017)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is suggested to be caused by exposure to exogenous and endogenous neurotoxicants in genetically susceptible individuals. Based on our preliminary findings in North Americans of European descent, we hypothesize that genetic defects of the enzymes cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) are important genetic susceptibility factors in PD. The primary objective of this study is to further investigate genetic defects of these enzymes that may increase the susceptibility to PD in a second ethnic group. To do this, we will take advantage of blood samples already performed in 15 Chinese research centers.
UF Researchers: Equine Influenza Virus Likely Involved In Recent Respiratory Disease Outbreak In Racing Greyhounds
GAINESVILLE, Fla. --- In what is believed to be the first scientific report of equine influenza virus jumping the species barrier, University of Florida veterinary researchers say the virus is the likely cause of a respiratory disease outbreak that killed eight racing greyhounds from kennels in Jacksonville in January.
Genetic defenders protect crops from fungal disease
Like waves of soldiers guarding a castle gate, multiple genetic defenders cooperate to protect plant cells against powdery mildew disease, according to a new study. Powdery mildew is a common fungal infection in plants that attacks more than 9,000 species, including many crops such as barley and wheat, and horticultural plants such as roses and cucumbers. The researchers, including Shauna Somerville and Monica Stein of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Plant Biology, are the first to document how these defense genes team up in plants. The discovery could help combat fungal parasites that devastate crops and cost growers billions of dollars in pesticides every year.

Imaging study links key genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease to myelin breakdown
A new UCLA imaging study shows that age-related breakdown of myelin, the fatty insulation coating the brain's internal wiring, correlates strongly with the presence of a key genetic risk factor for Alzheimer ...

Could You Have an Identical Twin?
I am not a twin myself, but if I were I would definitely want to be an identical twin. There is just something amazing about having someone else in the world with my exact DNA, down to the last amino acid. Most people think of twins as being either identical or fraternal, but there are many different types of twins. Identical Twin - Identical twins are born when a fertilized egg, or zygote, splits in two. Because the egg is fertilized by one sperm cell, and it is the sperm cell that determines the sex of the child, identical twins are always the same sex. The two children ...

Vegetarian Lifestyle
Being vegetarian is one of the greatest things in the world. From good health to sufficient energy in your daily life. Eating healthy is one of the easiest ways to ensure both your mood and physical wellbeing remain at their positive peek. Uplift Your Mood If you have an attack of the blues, try drinking some tea made from walnut. Walnuts are plentiful with the mood boosting chemical serotonin. Brew this wonderful little food in hot water (easier for the body to acquire the serotonin) and drink away much of your blues. The recipe is simple, use half a shell walnut for each cup o ...

Is Your Domain Name On Someone's Wanted List?
A good domain name is, and will always be, essential for any online business. If you ask me, the internet is still only just evolving from infancy. It's a long way to maturity. Still the world has come a long way since Ken Olson, president & founder of Digital Equipment Corp. etched his name in history, when he proclaimed less than 30 years ago, "There's no reason why anyone would want a computer in their home." How technology has changed our lives within a span of a single generation. Sooner rather than later, more and more businesses will want to go online and cater to a globa ...
