Surprising pathway implicated in stuttering

2011-11-23
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have obtained new evidence that at least some persistent stuttering is caused by mutations in a gene governing not speech, but a metabolic pathway involved in recycling old cell parts. Beyond a simple association, the study provides the first evidence that mutations affecting cellular recycling centers called lysosomes actually play a role in causing some people to stutter. "This was extremely unexpected," says senior author Stuart A. Kornfeld, MD, the David C. and Betty Farrell Professor of Medicine. ...

The best way to market fine wine: Teach and learn or wine and dine?

2011-11-23
Los Angeles, CA (November 22, 2011)) According to new research, wine promoters may want to spend more money on brochures and flyers and less money on wine tastings as they market to novice wine drinkers. A recent study published in Cornell Hospitality Quarterly (a SAGE journal) finds that without teaching about the background and process of wine production, new wine drinkers can be more easily influenced by advertising to make their purchases than their experienced counterparts. Authors Kathryn A. LaTour, Michael S. LaTour, and Andrew H. Feinstein wrote that while the ...

Known as the Regents Academy, the program initiated in the Binghamton City School District was a huge success ...

Research group proposes first system for assessing the odds of life on other worlds

2011-11-22
PULLMAN, Wash. – Within the next few years, the number of planets discovered in orbits around distant stars will likely reach several thousand or more. But even as our list of these newly discovered "exoplanets" grows ever-longer, the search for life beyond our solar system will likely focus much more narrowly on the relatively few of these new worlds which exhibit the most Earth-like of conditions. For much of the scientific community, the search for alien life has long been dominated by the notion that our own planet serves as the best model of conditions best suited ...
