Scientists discover important beauty secret for balanced skin color and tone

08-22-2007 · EurekAlert!

In the timeless quest for healthier, younger looking skin, scientists made an important discovery with implications ranging from helping doctors develop more natural looking bioengineered skin grafts to helping cosmetics companies develop new products for the "perfect" sunless tan. The research study, published in The FASEB Journal's September print issue, shows for the first time how to manipulate skin tone and color using cells previously thought to play no significant role in this function.

Location, location -- Cell sizes, lives influenced by host size
03-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
UF, Harvard scientists used mathematical models to discover that the size of a mammal affects the energy use, life span and at times even the size of its cells. Conceptually this is important because research on human diseases is often done on single cells or cultured cells that come from other animals without taking the size or other whole-body properties of the animals into consideration.

Cannabinoids produced in the human body have an anti-inflammatory effect
06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Endocannabinoids seem to play an important role in regulating inflammation processes. Scientists from the University of Bonn have discovered this in experiments on mice. Their results will be published in the distinguished scientific journal Science on Friday, June 8. The study may also have implications for therapy. In animal experiments, a solution with an important component made from cannabis reduced allergic reactions of the skin.

Patterns on tropical marine mollusk shell mirror gene expression patterns
11-21-2006 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have identified a group of genes that control the formation of shapes and color patterns on the shell of the tropical marine mollusk referred to as "abalone." A study published today in the open access journal BMC Biology reveals that the shape and color patterns on the shell of the mollusc mirror the localised expression of specific genes in the mantle, a layer of skin situated just below the shell.

Scientists discover new species of distinctive cloud-forest rodent
01-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
A strikingly unusual animal was recently discovered in the cloud-forests of Peru. The large rodent is about the size of a squirrel.The nocturnal, climbing rodent is beautiful yet strange looking, with long dense fur, a broad blocky head and thickly furred tail. A blackish crest of fur on the crown, nape and shoulders add to its distinctive appearance. Two color illustrations of Isothrix barbarabrownae, the bushy rodent, are available to the media.

Scientists discover a new player in innate immune response
01-16-2008 · EurekAlert!
All multicellular animals have an innate immune system: When bacteria, parasites or fungi invade the organism, small protein molecules are released that eliminate the attackers. Scientists of the German Cancer Research Center have now discovered a new molecule that plays an important role in triggering the innate immune response of the fruit fly Drosophila, mice and even humans. Their work has just been published in the journal Nature Immunology.
