Harvard researchers have created a genetic map that could serve as an “early warning system” for detecting drug resistance in a malaria-causing parasite. The results of the study, released Sunday in the advance online edition of the journal Nature Genetics, may help in the fight against Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly of the four parasites responsible for human malaria. The lead researcher, Dyann F. Wirth, who is also chair of the School of Public Health’s Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, said that the finding could help producers of malaria vaccines...

Physical activity leads to both physical and mental health, and, as a college bent on producing successful world citizens, Harvard can’t afford to ignore the body-mind connection. An August 2006 study in the journal “Stress & Health” found, in college students, a significant negative relationship between physical activity and perceived hassles/anxiety. As Wellesley College PE department chair Bridget Belgiovine said, “You’ve got to have an active body in order to continue to keep your mind rejuvenated.” Harvard students, whose day-to-day environment...
...this link has not been proven. In this case there is dispute among researchers about when a fetus's nervous system and brain are mature enough to allow for pain, with some saying this occurs around 26 weeks, not the 20 weeks the bill stipulates. (An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggested pain was unlikely before 29 weeks; but the bill's defenders pointed out that some of the paper's authors were abortion rights activists with a clear conflict of interest...
...capable of interfering with the hormones that regulate masculinity and femininity. Several hundred animal studies have linked phthalates to prostate and breast cancers, abnormal genitals, early puberty onset and obesity. More recently, they've been shown to affect humans as well. In a paper published last year in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and several universities found that boys born to mothers with higher phthalate levels are far more likely to show altered genital development, linked to incomplete testicular descent. Harvard School of Public Health studies report that men with higher...
