This fall, voters in Colorado chose to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. In doing so, Colorado became one of two states to allow recreational and medical marijuana. Eighteen others allow residents to use marijuana for medicinal purposes only. While these laws can prevent marijuana users from getting charged with state crimes, they do not mean that people in Colorado have a completely free pass to use marijuana whenever they want. A recent ruling by the Colorado Court of Appeals held that workers can be fired from their jobs for testing positive for marijuana, ...

Mark Zuckerberg could be the poster child for tech industry success in Silicon Valley. He is the epitome of an ambitious, free-thinking innovator willing to work around the clock to help develop the next big business venture. Because of Mr. Zuckerberg's success, and the success of many other young tech leaders, some companies have found themselves caught up in this stereotype. As a result, qualified candidates that do not fit within this label are accusing these companies of focusing on an applicant's age instead of his or her qualifications when making hiring decisions. Recent ...

In many neurodegenerative diseases the neurons of the brain are over-stimulated and this leads to their destruction. After many failed attempts and much scepticism this process was finally shown last year to be a possible basis for treatment in some patients with stroke. But very few targets for drugs to block this process are known. In a new highly detailed study, researchers have discovered a previously missing link between over-stimulation and destruction of brain tissue, and shown that this might be a target for future drugs. This research, led by the A. I. Virtanen ...

The composition of gut microbiota in a new-born baby's gut has been linked to the rate of early infant growth, reports research published this week in PLOS Computational Biology. The findings support the assertion that the early development of "microbiota" – the body's microbial ecosystem - in an infant can influence growth and thereby the likelihood of obesity. The sterile gut of a new-born baby is quickly populated by a variety of different microbes. This study identified connections between different bacteria and both expected and reduced infant growth rates. The ...

Doctors should not have the right or responsibility to force-feed their patients with genomic information about their future health risks, according to bioethicists writing on May 9 in Trends in Biotechnology, a Cell Press publication. They write in response to controversial recommendations from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) on the reporting of incidental findings in clinical genome sequencing. "A lot of people in this field would agree that no one has a right to withhold your health information from you," said Megan Allyse from the Stanford ...

That's according to findings reported in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on May 9 based on an analysis that combines the latest science on reef dynamics with the latest climate models. "People benefit by reefs' having a complex structure—a little like a Manhattan skyline, but underwater," said Peter Mumby of The University of Queensland and University of Exeter. "Structurally complex reefs provide nooks and crannies for thousands of species and provide the habitat ...

Heart failure is one of the most debilitating conditions linked to old age, and there are no specific therapies for the most common form of this condition in the elderly. A study published by Cell Press May 9th in the journal Cell reveals that a blood hormone known as growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) declines with age, and old mice injected with this hormone experience a reversal in signs of cardiac aging. The findings shed light on the underlying causes of age-related heart failure and may offer a much-needed strategy for treating this condition in humans. "There ...
