Structure Of Key Breast Cancer Target Enzyme Unraveled

Most people know that breast cancer is the most common cancer among women affecting about 1 in 8 women in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. Seventy-five to 80 percent of all breast cancer tumors are estrogen-fed. A key estrogen-related breakthrough has been discovered by a scientist in Buffalo, NY which can be the basis for developing customized novel breast cancer drugs that cause minimal side effects.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/DXwadBJp1mk" height="1" width="1"/>

Smoking During Pregnancy Fosters Aggression In Children

Women who smoke during pregnancy risk delivering aggressive kids according to a new Canada-Netherlands study published in the journal Development and Psychopathology. While previous studies have shown that smoking during gestation causes low birth weight, this research shows mothers who light up during pregnancy can predispose their offspring to an additional risk: violent behavior.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/5_QnS0ptUuU" height="1" width="1"/>

When there is a threat of disease during pregnancy, mothers produce less aggressive sons with more efficient immune systems, researchers have discovered. The new study provides the first evidence for a transgenerational effect on immune response based on environmental cues -- with maternal perception of disease risk in the immediate environment potentially determining offspring disease resistance and social dominance.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/cfgw4gcZODc" height="1" width="1"/>

Brown Dwarfs Don't Hang Out With Stars

Brown dwarfs, objects that are less massive than stars but larger than planets, just got more elusive, based on a study of 233 nearby multiple-star systems by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble found only two brown dwarfs as companions to normal stars. This means the so-called "brown dwarf desert" (the absence of brown dwarfs around solar-type stars) extends to the smallest stars in the universe.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/imTbI1_G8V8" height="1" width="1"/>

Life on a planet ruled by two suns might be a little complicated. Two sunrises, two sunsets. Twice the radiation field. Astronomers suggest that planets may easily form around certain types of twin star systems.

An assessment concludes that despite well-publicized concerns about some harmful effects of aquaculture, the technique may, when practiced well, be no more harmful to biodiversity than other food production systems. Aquaculture production of aquatic animals now accounts for about a third of the total supply and will probably remain the most rapidly increasing food production system worldwide through 2025, according to the author.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/2qPjn-Zylto" height="1" width="1"/>

Few things are as tiresome as house hunting and moving. Unfortunately, metastatic cancer cells have the relocation process down pat. Tripping nimbly from one abode to another, these migrating cancer cells often prove far more deadly than the original tumor. Although little has been known about how these rogue cells choose where to put down roots, researchers have now learned just how nefarious they are.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/p4dkTeQooO4" height="1" width="1"/>

Nerve Cells In The Brain And Spinal Cord Sense Pain Caused By Physical Insult
http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/h-Af7OusQEg/090105175019.htm
Researchers have shown that the protein COX2 in mouse nerve cells in the central nervous system (CNS) is crucial for hypersensitivity to pain caused by the physical insult associated with inflammation, but not pain caused by the heat associated with inflammation. As pain caused by physical insult is a major symptom of postoperative and arthritic inflammation, it seems that COX2 in nerve cells in the CNS is central to the pain that accompanies these conditions.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/h-Af7OusQEg" height="1" width="1"/>

Novel Glioblastoma Mouse Model Developed
http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/VRairGvn5Hw/090104164206.htm
Researchers have developed a versatile mouse model of glioblastoma -- the most common and deadly brain cancer in humans -- that closely resembles the development and progression of human brain tumors that arise naturally.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/VRairGvn5Hw" height="1" width="1"/>

With a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicting that diabetic retinopathy will triple from 5.5 million in 2005 to 16 million in 2050, improved treatments are urgently needed for this leading cause of blindness in working-age people. The CDC study is the latest indicator of a world-wide diabetes epidemic that is motivating ophthalmic research around the globe.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/vK-jNp3gSd8" height="1" width="1"/>

U.S. Congressional Health-care Reform Proposals Would Offer Coverage To Many Without Insurance
http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/wy5-Mx044jM/090109035312.htm
With health reform high on the agenda of the incoming Congress and president, a new analysis of legislative proposals -- including the plans of President-elect Barack Obama and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) -- shows that several proposals already put forth could substantially reduce the number of uninsured Americans, and would either reduce health-care spending or add only modestly to annual health-care expenditures.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/wy5-Mx044jM" height="1" width="1"/>

Eating Habits And Exercise Behaviors In Children Can Deteriorate Early
http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/7A5Ou6_s1Xc/090109035310.htm
School-age children may develop eating habits and leisure-time patterns that may not meet current recommendations and contribute to childhood obesity. In a study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, researchers report that parents perceived that their pre-school children had relatively good eating habits and physical activity levels, but that parents of school-aged children (6 to 12 years) felt their children had less healthful diets and leisure-time activities.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/7A5Ou6_s1Xc" height="1" width="1"/>

Half-baked Asteroids Have Earth-like Crust

Asteroids are hunks of rock that orbit in the outer reaches of space, and scientists have generally assumed that their small size limited the types of rock that could form in their crusts. But two newly discovered meteorites may rewrite the book on how some asteroids form and evolve.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/Qf8bAy41C5Y" height="1" width="1"/>

A mysterious flash of light from somewhere near or far in the universe is still keeping astronomers in the dark long after it was first detected by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in 2006.

Restoring Trust Harder When It Is Broken Early In Relationship

In relationships built on trust, a bad first impression can be harder to overcome than a betrayal that occurs after ties are established, a new study suggests. While betraying trust is never good for a relationship, the results show that early violations can be particularly devastating, and plant seeds of doubt that may never go away.<img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/DlxgGlMJD58" height="1" width="1"/>
