Men may have natural aversion to adultery with friends' wives
2013-03-21
After outgrowing teenage infatuations with the girl next door, adult males seem to be biologically designed to avoid amorous attractions to the wife next door, according to a University of Missouri study that found adult males' testosterone levels dropped when they were interacting with the marital partner of a close friend. Understanding the biological mechanisms that keep men from constantly competing for each others' wives may shed light on how people manage to cooperate on the levels of neighborhoods, cities and even globally.
"Although men have many chances to pursue ...
Scientists develop drug that might be next best hope against malaria
2013-03-21
PORTLAND, Ore. – Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University and the Portland VA Medical Center have developed a drug that may represent one of the world's best hopes for treating and preventing malaria — a disease that kills more than one million people each year.
The scientists have described the drug, and its effectiveness against mice infected with malaria, in the March 20 issue of Science Translational Medicine, an interdisciplinary journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The drug — called ELQ-300 — "is an exciting compound as it ...
The neuroscience of finding your lost keys
2013-03-21
LA JOLLA, CA----Ever find yourself racking your brain on a Monday morning to remember where you put your car keys?
When you do find those keys, you can thank the hippocampus, a brain region responsible for storing and retrieving memories of different environments-such as that room where your keys were hiding in an unusual spot.
Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have helped explain how the brain keeps track of the incredibly rich and complex environments people navigate on a daily basis. They discovered how the dentate gyrus, a subregion of ...
Parents should do chores together, study says
2013-03-21
You may have heard of couples that strive for exact equality when it comes to chores, i.e. I scrub a dish, you scrub a dish, I change a diaper, you change a diaper.
But new research finds that keeping score with chores isn't the best path to a high-quality relationship. Instead the data points to two items that should have a permanent place on a father's to-do list:
Do housework alongside your spouse
Spend quality time with the kids
"We found that it didn't matter who did what, but how satisfied people were with the division of labor," said Brigham Young University ...
To forgive or not to forgive: What Josh Hamilton tells us about sports fandom

Study reveals potential treatments for Ebola and a range of other deadly viruses
2013-03-21
Illnesses caused by many of the world's most deadly viruses cannot be effectively treated with existing drugs or vaccines. A study published by Cell Press in the March 21 issue of the journal Chemistry & Biology has revealed several compounds that can inhibit multiple viruses, such as highly lethal Ebola virus, as well as pathogens responsible for rabies, mumps, and measles, opening up new therapeutic avenues for combating highly pathogenic viruses.
"The medical field currently does not have ideal antiviral therapies, often no therapeutics at all, and the development ...
Harnessing immune cells' adaptability to design an effective HIV vaccine
2013-03-21
In infected individuals, HIV mutates rapidly to escape recognition by immune cells. This process of continuous evolution is the main obstacle to natural immunity and the development of an effective vaccine. A new study published by Cell Press in the March 21 issue of the journal Immunity reveals that the immune system has the capacity to adapt such that it can recognize mutations in HIV. The findings suggest that our immune cells' adaptability could be harnessed to help in the fight against AIDS.
An international collaboration between research groups in France, England, ...
Functional characteristics of antitumor T cells change w increasing time after therapeutic transfer
2013-03-21
PHILADELPHIA — Scientists have characterized how the functionality of genetically engineered T cells administered therapeutically to patients with melanoma changed over time. The data, which are published in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, highlight the need for new strategies to sustain antitumor T cell functionality to increase the effectiveness of this immunotherapeutic approach.
Early clinical research has indicated that cell-based immunotherapies for cancer, in particular melanoma, have potential because patients treated ...
