...make matters worse, the same climatic changes that caused the abundance of herpes and plankton on the Atlantic coast - and which contributed to an explosion of jellyfish in Mediterranean waters have also caused a proliferation of Vibrio splendidus bacterium. The effects of that bacteria left younger oysters both more vulnerable to herpes infection, and less capable of battling the virus as it killed them. Scientists fear that as waters heat up thanks to global warming oysters may regularly face such conditions in the future, disrupting France's annual oyster production of 120,000 tons - the largest in Europe and fourth...
...concluded that, for elderly patients, treatment is often debilitating and reduces quality of life, while the disease itself might have minimal impact during a patient's lifetime if left alone. It also found that a test widely used to screen for the disease may not be wholly beneficial for younger men either...
...slain general was buried on Sunday at his home village of Draykish, 15 miles east of Tartous, in a funeral attended by Maher al-Assad, younger brother of the President. Bashar al-Assad, who is said to be deeply upset by Suleiman's murder, stuck to his schedule and flew to Tehran on Saturday for talks with top Iranian officials, followed by a trip to Turkey.

...reason for that delay in onset of cardiovascular disease could be that women are relatively iron-deficient compared to men - especially younger women, those in their late teens and early 20s - because of menstruation. Iron plays a very important part in the reactions in our cells that produce damaging free radicals, which glom onto cell membranes and DNA, and may translate into aging the cell. In fact, in our diets, red meat is the main source of iron, and lack of iron is probably one major reason that being vegetarian is healthy for you. There was a very good study...
...from healthy middle-aged people in his study). Eggan and Henderson tackled both issues at once, by working with cells from two siblings, ages 82 and 89, who both had ALS. It turned out that generating iPS cells from older patients proved no more difficult than growing them from younger ones, says Eggan. "This study puts those issues definitively to rest," he says. "It opens the door to being able to make patient-specific stem-cell lines [to treat] diseases that affect people very late in life, like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease...
