Carnegie Mellon University-led team conducts most detailed cosmological simulation to date

Using a new computer model of galaxy formation, researchers have shown that growing black holes release a blast of energy that fundamentally regulates galaxy evolution and black hole growth itself. The model explains for the first time observed phenomena and promises to deliver deeper insights into our understanding of galaxy formation and the role of black holes throughout cosmic history. The results were generated by an international team of investigators.

2. Carnegie Mellon scientist plays key role in unveiling sea urchin genome
   11-09-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Carnegie Mellon University has played a key role in an international, multi-institutional collaboration to sequence the sea urchin genome. As part of the consortium, Charles Ettensohn, professor of biological sciences, led the team that cataloged the genes responsible for building the sea urchin's embryonic skeleton. He also contributed 51,000 cDNAs -- about one-third of the total genomic material critical for assembling the genome and for accurately predicting where genes lie within the DNA sequence.

3. Genes and genius: Researchers confirm association between gene and intelligence
   02-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A team of scientists, led by psychiatric geneticists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has gathered the most extensive evidence to date that a gene that activates signaling pathways in the brain influences one kind of intelligence. They have confirmed a link between the gene, CHRM2, and performance IQ.

4. Carnegie Mellon scientists find key HIV protein makes cell membranes bend more easily
   07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Carnegie Mellon University scientists have made an important discovery that helps to explain why HIV enters immune cells with ease. They found that after HIV docks onto a host cell, it dramatically lowers the energy required for a cell membrane to bend, making it easier for the virus to infect immune cells. The finding will provide vital data to conduct future computer simulations of HIV dynamics to help further drug discovery and prevent deadly infections.

   A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh has created and used an innovative ink-jet system to print "bio-ink" patterns that direct muscle-derived stem cells from adult mice to differentiate into both muscle cells and bone cells. The results, which could revolutionize the design of replacement body tissues, will be presented Sunday, Dec. 10 at the 46th annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Diego.

   03-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new digital ophthalmoscope, devised by a research team led by the University of Warwick, can provide both doctors and high street optometrists with a hand-held eye disease diagnosis device equal to the power of bulky hospital based eye diagnosis cameras. It will also give optometrists the ability to email detailed eye maps of patients to specialist eye doctors.

10. Researchers Estimate Significant Fatty Liver Disease In Children
    10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
    Until now little was known about the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children. To gauge its occurrence a University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine-led team studied 742 autopsy reports and tissue analysis of San Diego County children aged two to 19 who died from traumatic accidents, homicide or suicide and had a medical examiner autopsy between 1993 and 2003.
