 UCLA
Study Links Air Pollution to Clogged Arteries
This is a new UCLA study led by Andre Nel, Chief of
Nanomedicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine, linking diesel exhaust to
atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which significantly
increases one’s risk for heart attack and stroke. Published in the
July 26 edition of the online journal Genome Biology, the findings are
the first to explain how fine particles in air pollution conspire with
artery-clogging fats to switch on the genes that cause blood vessel
inflammation and lead to cardiovascular disease.

Scientist Gary Lynch and His Colleagues Unveil the 'Face' of a New
Memory
Detailed in recent issue of
the Journal of Neuroscience, the study shows that synaptic
connections in a region of rats' brains critical to learning
change shape when the rodents learn to navigate a new, complex
environment. In turn, when drugs are administered that block these
changes, the rats don't learn, confirming the essential role the
shape change plays in the production of stable memory. Contributions
from UC Riverside Biologist, David Reznick, Support a Controversial
Theory of Genetic Conflict in Reproduction
Part of the significance
of the research is in providing experimental proof of a theory put
forth in the 1990s proclaiming that, in animals with a placenta,
genetic material from the father and the mother promote different
growth rates in the embryo, producing a conflict over nutrients.
