A drug given to pregnant mice with models of autism prevents autistic behavior in their offspring, according to a new report, and though the drug could not be administered prenatally in humans -…

Researchers have discovered an unusual bacterial protein that attaches to virtually any antibody and prevents it from binding to its target. Protein M, as it is called, probably helps some bacteria…

The autism community agrees that autism has its origins in early life—fotal and/or postnatal. A team led by Yehezkel Ben-Ari, Inserm Emeritus Research Director at the Mediterranean Institute of…

Satellite observations of global sea-surface temperature have shown that a 30-year upward trend slowed in the last 15 years.  It can't be due to successful mitigation, since outside the United…

For the past eight years, the Amazon rain forest has gotten greener as the weather seemingly got hotter and drier each year from June to October.  Limited rainfall didn't prevent thriving…

Evolutionary biology sounds exciting - there wouldn't be any movies on the SyFy Channel without Gatoroids and Sharknados and other feats of life science run amok - but in reality you are going to…

Why do men and women have different heights? Why do people have different predispositions to BMI, blood pressure and lipid levels? Chromosome X is one of the two sex-determining chromosomes and…
