Articles for the Medical and Health Science. Monday, November 29, 2010. Same Face May Look Male or Female, Depending on Where It Appears in a Person's Field of View. Neuroscientists at MIT and Harvard have made the surprising discovery that the brain sees some faces as male when they appear in one area of a person's field of view, but female when they appear in a different location. In the real world, the brain's inconsistency in assigning gender to faces isn't noticeable, because there are so many other...

Articles for the Medical and Health Science. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Turning Bacteria Against Themselves. Bacteria often attack with toxins designed to hijack or even kill host cells. To avoid self-destruction, bacteria have ways of protecting themselves from their own toxins. Scientists determined the structures of a toxin and its antitoxin in Streptococcus pyogenes. If there were no antitoxin, the bacteria would kill itself.". That's the Achilles' heel that we would like to exploit," says Thomas E...

Articles for the Medical and Health Science. Monday, September 5, 2011. World's Smallest Electric Motor Made from a Single MoleculeWorld's Smallest Electric Motor Made from a Single Molecule. The smallest electrical motor on the planet, at least according to. Is 200 nanometers. Granted, that's a pretty small motor - after all, a single strand of human hair is 60,000 nanometers wide - but that tiny mark is about to be shattered in a big way. In research published online Sept. 4 in. There has been signific...

Articles for the Medical and Health Science. Wednesday, December 29, 2010. Honey before bedtime improves brain function, mental acuity. Insulin also inhibits an enzyme in the brain which allows the accumulation of glutamate in the synaptic space between brain neurons. This leads to irreversible damage of nerve cells in the brain and deterioration of brain function. Quality sleep which is critical for memory consolidation and vital in human learning may therefore be achieved by a simple strategy of consum...

Articles for the Medical and Health Science: Scientist Develops Virus That Targets HIV: Using a Virus to Kill a Virus
http://medicalsciencearticles.blogspot.com/2011/08/scientist-develops-virus-that-targets.html
Articles for the Medical and Health Science. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Scientist Develops Virus That Targets HIV: Using a Virus to Kill a Virus. In what represents an important step toward curing HIV, a USC scientist has created a virus that hunts down HIV-infected cells. Dr Pin Wang's lentiviral vector latches onto HIV-infected cells, flagging them with what is called "suicide gene therapy" - allowing drugs to later target and destroy them. So far, the lentiviral vector has only been tested in culture di...
