- Scripps research study shows humans and plants share common regulatory pathway
04-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
In findings that some might find reminiscent of science fiction, scientists at the Scripps Research Institute have shown for the first time that humans and plants share a common pathogen recognition pathway as part of their innate immune systems. The data could help shed fresh light on how pathogen recognition proteins function and the role they play in certain chronic inflammatory diseases.

- Tears reveal some of their deepest secrets to researchers
01-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
It's no secret why we shed tears. But exactly what our tears are made of has remained a mystery to scientists. A new study sheds some light on the complex design of tears. What we think of as tears, scientists call tear film, which is made up of three distinct, microscopic layers.

- Insights into activity-dependent neuronal growth through RSRF-supported research
10-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
BDNF has been a subject of keen interest, turning up in studies of conditions ranging from central hypoventilation syndrome to obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia -- a range of disorders uncannily parallel to those produced by mutations in the "Rett gene," MeCP2. In 2003, two groups found that MeCP2 regulates BDNF transcription. New studies have begun to shed light on the interplay of MeCP2 and BDNF.

- Scripps Research scientists reveal pivotal hearing structure
09-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of scientists made up of two laboratory groups from the Scripps Research Institute and one from the National Institutes of Health has shed light on how our bodies convert vibrations entering the ear into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. Exactly how the electrical signal is generated has been the subject of ongoing research interest.

- Scripps Research scientists shed new light on how antibodies fight HIV
09-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Leading an international team of scientists, immunologists at the Scripps Research Institute have uncovered the first evidence that an HIV antibody is most effective when it binds not only to the virus, but also to host immune cells. The findings suggest that antibody efficiency depends on both directly neutralizing the virus and activating the host immune response.

- R rating might be unlikely to affect teens exposure to smoking in movies
09-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Several recent research studies published in the US have determined that young adolescents who see smoking scenes in movies are more likely to smoke. To combat smoking among youth, public health groups have called for restricted ratings for movies that depict smoking. A new study from New Zealand, however, calls that strategy into question, noting that the R rating may not have the intended effect of putting such movies 'out of reach' of children.
