Research team finds link between asthma and depressive disorders
11-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Young people with asthma are about twice as likely to suffer from depressive and anxiety disorders than are children without asthma, according to a study by a research team in Seattle.

Simple recipe turns human skin cells into embryonic stem cell-like cells
11-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
A simple recipe -- including just four ingredients -- can transform adult human skin cells into cells that resemble embryonic stem cells, researchers report in an immediate early publication of the journal Cell, a publication of Cell Press. The converted cells have many of the physical, growth and genetic features typically found in embryonic stem cells and can differentiate to produce other tissue types, including neurons and heart tissue, according to the researchers.

New research may show why some prostate cancer recurs after treatment
10-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Cancer researchers have long worked to understand why some prostate cancers recur after the use of therapies designed to stop the production of testosterone and other androgens that fuel cancer cell growth. New research has now detected that androgen-synthesizing proteins are present within cancer cells, which suggests that cancer cells may develop the capacity to produce their own androgens.

Very young children can step into the minds of storybook characters
09-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
A University of Waterloo psychology study shows that preschoolers can already perform an impressive feat: getting immersed in the life, thoughts and feelings of a character. The study used an innovative approach to explore children's storytelling ability, focusing on how well they comprehend stories instead of how well they tell them. The study, entitled "The Emergence of the Ability to Track a Character's Mental Perspective in Narrative," was published in Developmental Psychology in July.
