The holy grail of human resources

2010-09-22
Just about everyone has a story about being trapped in the wrong job, flip-flopping careers in search of one that fits, or just wasting time with the guidance counsellor. Imagine the impact of a new system that would easily and accurately identify individual strengths, point people toward occupations in demand, estimate the likelihood that they would be good at them and help determine whether they would enjoy them. It would be the human resources equivalent of speed-dating, but with a higher chance of going home happy. "This is going to seriously improve people's ability ...

MIT neuroscientists reveal how the brain learns to recognize objects

2010-09-22
Understanding how the brain recognizes objects is a central challenge for understanding human vision, and for designing artificial vision systems. (No computer system comes close to human vision.) A new study by MIT neuroscientists suggests that the brain learns to solve the problem of object recognition through its vast experience in the natural world. Take for example, a dog. It may be sitting nearby or far away or standing in sunshine or shadow. Although each variation in the dog's position, pose or illumination produces a different pattern of light on the retina, ...

Acetylation may contribute to dementia and Alzheimer's disease

2010-09-22
A new study uncovers a protein modification that may contribute to the formation of neuron-damaging neurofibrillary tangles in the human brain. The research, published by Cell Press in the September 23 issue of the journal Neuron, may lead to new strategies for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases that result from pathological aggregation of tau protein. Tau protein is common in the central nervous system where it helps to stabilize microtubules that form the neuronal cytoskeleton. Tau mutations have been linked with dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD), and accumulation ...

Getting off tract: Polyglutamine disease involves other regions of protein

2010-09-22
Many genes code for proteins that have a "polyglutamine tract," several glutamine amino acid residues in a row. Nine inherited neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's disease and spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), are associated with mutations that cause abnormally long polyglutamine tracts. One theory suggests that accumulation of proteins with extra glutamines damages and kills neurons. However, there is evidence that glutamine tract expansion alone is not sufficient to cause disease. Now, new research published by Cell Press in the September 23 issue ...

Amazing horned dinosaurs unearthed on 'lost continent'

Amazing horned dinosaurs unearthed on lost continent
2010-09-22
Two remarkable new species of horned dinosaurs have been found in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, southern Utah. The giant plant-eaters were inhabitants of the "lost continent" of Laramidia, formed when a shallow sea flooded the central region of North America, isolating the eastern and western portions of the continent for millions of years during the Late Cretaceous Period. The newly discovered dinosaurs, close relatives of the famous Triceratops, were announced today in PLoS ONE, the online open-access journal produced by the Public Library of Science. The ...

Salmonella creates environment in human intestines to foster its own growth

2010-09-22
A study led by researchers at UC Davis has found how the bacteria Salmonella enterica — a common cause of food poisoning — exploits immune response in the human gut to enhance its own reproductive and transmission success. The strategy gives Salmonella a growth advantage over the beneficial bacteria that normally are present in the intestinal tract and promotes the severe diarrhea that spreads the bacteria to other people. The findings are published in the Sept. 23 issue of the journal Nature. "The human body normally has 10 times more microbes than human cells that ...

Scientists reveal structure of dangerous bacteria's powerful multidrug resistance pump

2010-09-22
LA JOLLA, CA – September 20, 2010 –– A team at The Scripps Research Institute has detailed the structure of a member of the only remaining class of multidrug resistance transporters left to be described. The work has implications for combating dangerous antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria, as well as for developing hardy strains of agricultural crops. The study was published in an advance, online issue of the journal Nature on September 22, 2010. "Now with our crystal structure, scientists can for the first time figure out exactly how this transporter works," ...

New computer-tomography method visualizes nano-structure of bones

New computer-tomography method visualizes nano-structure of bones
2010-09-22
Osteoporosis, a medical condition in which bones become brittle and fragile from a loss of density, is among the most common diseases in aging bones: In Germany around a quarter of the population aged over 50 is affected. Patients' bone material shrinks rapidly, leading to a significantly increased risk of fracture. In clinical research to date, osteoporosis is diagnosed almost exclusively by establishing an overall reduction in bone density. This approach, however, gives little information about the associated, and equally important, local structure and bone density changes. ...
