Gene Expression And Splicing Vary Widely From One Tissue To The Next
Genes talk to themselves and to each other to control how a given cell manufactures proteins. But variation in the control of the same gene in two different tissues may contribute to certain human traits, including the likelihood of getting a disease, said a team of geneticists and neuroscientists.img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/kjj5VkulIcQ" height="1" width="1"/

Adult-onset Diabetes Slows Mental Functioning In Several Ways, With Deficits Appearing Early
Adults with diabetes experience a slowdown in several types of mental processing, which appears early in the disease and persists into old age, according to new research. Given the sharp rise in new cases of diabetes, this finding means that more adults may soon be living with mild but lasting deficits in their thought processes.img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/P0gjfUDoGRw" height="1" width="1"/

Mystery Of South American Trophy Heads Solved
A recent study using specimens from Chicago's Field Museum establishes that Nazca trophy heads came from people who lived in the same place and were part of the same culture as those who collected them.img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/N_gv2PCPY2g" height="1" width="1"/

Grazing Animals Help Spread Plant Disease
Researchers have discovered that grazing animals such as deer and rabbits are actually helping to spread plant disease -- quadrupling its prevalence in some cases -- and encouraging an invasion of annual grasses that threaten more than 20 million acres of native grasslands in California.img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/yzhhop8iDyg" height="1" width="1"/

Teens Girls Smoke Now, Pay Later With Larger Waistlines As Adults
Remember the cool girls, huddled together in high school restrooms, puffing their cigarettes? Well, here's consolation for the nerds in the crowd: Those teen smokers are more likely to experience obesity as adults, according to a new study from Finland.img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/usMe1L3dDH4" height="1" width="1"/

Increased Risk Of Pneumococcal Disease In Asthma Patients

Obesity Linked To Elevated Risk Of Ovarian Cancer
A new epidemiological study has found that among women who have never used menopausal hormone therapy, obese women are at an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer compared with women of normal weight.img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/LJ0x8EeXD_I" height="1" width="1"/

Stars Forming Just Beyond Black Hole's Grasp At Galactic Center
The center of the Milky Way presents astronomers with a paradox: It holds young stars, but no one is sure how those stars got there. The galactic center is wracked with powerful gravitational tides stirred by a 4 million solar-mass black hole. Those tides should rip apart molecular clouds that act as stellar nurseries, preventing stars from forming in place. Yet the alternative -- stars falling inward after forming elsewhere -- should be a rare occurrence.img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/UiYFgdvW2J0" height="1" width="1"/
