Scientists restore sight to chickens with blinding disease
University of Florida scientists have delivered a gene through an eggshell to give sight to a type of chicken normally born blind
Controlling movement through thought alone
For the first time, a team led by Brown University researchers is publishing detailed clinical trial results that show a tiny new brain sensor allowed a quadriplegic to open a prosthetic hand, control a robotic limb and move a computer cursor – using thoughts alone

Nano-particles effective in killing cancer with one-two punch of chemotherapeutics
Research studies, based at the University of Pennsylvania, demonstrate that biodegradable nano-particles containing two potent cancer-fighting drugs are effective in killing human breast tumors
Practice builds brain connections for babies learning language, how to speak
Experience, as the old saying goes, is the best teacher. And experience seems to play an important early role in how infants learn to understand and produce language
Production of key alzheimer's protein monitored for first time in humans
Science is now poised to answer an important and longstanding question about the origins of Alzheimer's disease: Do Alzheimer's patients have high levels of a brain protein because they make too much of it or because they can't clear it from their brains quickly enough?

Cancer therapy based on anatomical location may soon be obsolete
The results of a new study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis could eventually have oncologists removing their specialties from their shingles by making therapy based on a tumor's anatomical location obsolete
Researchers reveal lung's unique innate immune system
For the first time, scientists have documented an organ-specific innate immune system

Genetic data from an island population proves to be a useful tool in understanding
With fewer than 4,000 residents, the genetically isolated Micronesian island of Kosrae, in the West Pacific, provides an ideal population in which to research heritability of disease
NHGRI announces latest sequencing targets
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has announced several new sequencing targets including the Northern white-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys), setting the stage for completing a quest to sequence the genome of at least one non-human primate genome from each of the major positions along the evolutionary primate tree and making available an essential resource for researchers unraveling the genetic factors involved in human health and disease. Comparing the genomes of other species to humans is an exceptionally powerful tool to help researchers understand the working parts of the human genome in both health and illness
Study finds sleep vital for memory
Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School and the University of Pennsylvania found that sleep benefits an individual's ability to recall recently learned declarative memories, even when recall of these memories is challenged hours later by competing information
Researchers identify very first neurons in the "thinking" brain
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine and the University of Oxford have identified the very first neurons in what develops into the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that makes humans human
Research gives lazy eye theory a workout
In a study that challenges conventional thinking about the condition known as lazy eye, researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory show that it's the quality, not the quantity, of images and light striking the retina that causes one eye to lose function
Researchers find new molecular target for obesity
Mice bred without the enzyme MKP-1 are resistant to weight gain despite consuming high fat foods and eating more than control mice, according to a research study published online in Cell Metabolism
A step closer to understanding how calcium controls our bodies
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have taken a major step forward in unravelling one of the key control mechanisms of the human body.
Think fast!
In the second it takes you to read these words, tens of thousands of vesicles in your optic nerves are released in sequence, opening tiny surface pores to pass chemical signals to the next cell down the line, telling your brain what you're seeing and your eyes where to move.
Oxigen supply sufficient to sustain heart during hypothermia
Researchers from Norway may have ruled out insufficient oxygen supply to the heart as the critical variable in whether a mammal's heart survives while in a hypothermic state.
Honey helps problem wounds
A household remedy millennia old is being reinstated: honey helps the treatment of some wounds better than the most modern antibiotics.
