BRIGHTON, ENGLAND, December 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Barclays is making it easier for customers to manage their statements and log in securely to Online Banking using their Barclays Mobile Banking app.
The app now comes with PINsentry - the security feature that customers use with their debit card to log in to Online Banking. It means they don't have to carry their PINsentry card reader around with them.
Mobile PINsentry can be used to log in to Online Banking, set up new payees, authenticate international payments and register for other Barclays services.
Another new feature allows customers to manage statements using their Barclays Mobile Banking app, including switching from paper to online statements and ordering them in large print or Braille.
The Barclays Mobile Banking app was launched in 2012 and has already been downloaded by more than 800,000 customers who want to do their banking on the go. They can check their balances, view recent transactions, transfer money between their Barclays accounts, make mobile payments to existing payees and find their nearest Barclays branch or ATM.
It's just one in a family of apps that includes Barclays Pingit, which allows people to make mobile payments using just a phone number.

MicroRNA-218 targets medulloblastoma, most aggressive childhood brain cancer
2012-12-13
Between the blueprint of the genome and the products of its expression lie microRNAs, which can boost or lower the rate at which genes become stuff. In fact, many cancers use microRNA to magnify the expression of faulty genes or shrink the expression of helpful genes that would otherwise suppress tumors. A University of Colorado Cancer Center study published in the December issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry shows that in medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor of children, microRNA-218 is especially low. The article also shows that adding microRNA-218 to neural ...
Cloud forest trees drink water through their leaves
2012-12-13
Tropical montane cloud forest trees use more than their roots to take up water. They also drink water from clouds directly through their leaves, University of California, Berkeley, scientists have discovered.
While this is an essential survival strategy in foggy but otherwise dry areas, the scientists say that the clouds the trees depend on are now disappearing due to climate change.
"The study highlights the vulnerability of this rare and already endangered ecosystem to climate change," said Todd Dawson, senior author of the study and UC Berkeley professor of integrative ...
Social synchronicity
2012-12-13
PASADENA, Calif.—Humans have a tendency to spontaneously synchronize their movements. For example, the footsteps of two friends walking together may synchronize, although neither individual is consciously aware that it is happening. Similarly, the clapping hands of an audience will naturally fall into synch. Although this type of synchronous body movement has been observed widely, its neurological mechanism and its role in social interactions remain obscure. In a new study, led by cognitive neuroscientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), researchers ...
Singapore scientists identify new biomarker for cancer in bone marrow
2012-12-13
1. Singapore scientists have identified FAIM, a molecule that typically prevents cell death, as a potential biomarker to identify an incurable form of cancer in the bone marrow. Patients with this form of cancer usually do not get cured with current standard treatments such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, with an average survival of only about four years. FAIM could thus be a therapeutic target in these patients, as drugs developed to target the molecule could destroy multiple myeloma cells and hence eradicate the cancer.
2. Multiple myeloma is an incurable ...
New study brings long-sought vaccines for deadly parasite closer to reality
2012-12-13
One major cause of illness from food-borne diseases is the parasite Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). New insights into how the immune system combats T. gondii are provided in a study published by Cell Press December 13th in the journal Immunity. The findings could lead to the development of long-sought vaccines to protect against T. gondii and related parasites.
To fight off pathogens, the immune system relies on Toll-like receptors (TLRs)—a class of proteins that recognize microbes and activate immune responses. The important role of TLR11 in recognizing the T. gondii ...
Ability to sit and rise from the floor is closely correlated with all-cause mortality risk
2012-12-13
A simple screening test of musculo-skeletal fitness has proved remarkably predictive of all-cause mortality in a study of more than 2000 middle-aged and older men and women. The study, performed in Brazil by Dr Claudio Gil Araújo and colleagues at the Clinimex - Exercise Medicine Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, is reported today in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention.(1,2)
The test was a simple assessment of the subjects' ability to sit and then rise unaided from the floor. The assessment was performed in 2002 adults of both sexes and with ages ranging from 51 ...
