Coffee Drinking Linked To Lower Mortality Risk, New Study Finds
That morning cup of coffee may be linked to a lower risk of dying, researchers from a study published Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine concluded. From a report: Those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar.....»»
Biosynthesis of cyanobacterin opens up new class of natural compounds for applications in medicine and agriculture
The fact that nature is an excellent chemist is demonstrated by the abundance of molecules, so-called natural products, which it produces biosynthetically. These natural products are also of central importance to us humans. They are used in many ways.....»»

Victorian medicine shaped modern concepts of race
Charles Darwin raised the question of whether darker skin is correlated with immunity to certain diseases in his 1871 book "The Descent of Man," an erroneous claim that reflected beliefs about the reality and fixity of race that were widespread in th.....»»
Advance in understanding cell division could lead to new cancer treatments
A protein called CDC7, long thought to play an essential role early in the cell division process, is in fact replaceable by another protein called CDK1, according to a study by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the Dana Farber Cancer Instit.....»»
