Scientists learn why the flu may turn deadly

clipped from www.curingdeath.com As the swine flu continues its global spread, researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have discovered important clues about why influenza is more severe in some people than it is in others. In their research study published online in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology (http://www.jleukbio.org), the scientists show that the influenza virus can actually paralyze the immune systems of otherwise healthy individuals, leading to severe secondary bacterial infections, such as pneumonia. Furthermore, this immunological paralysis can be long-lived, which is important to know when developing treatment strategies to combat the virus.

Estrogen controls how the brain processes sound

clipped from www.brainmysteries.com Scientists at the University of Rochester have discovered that the hormone estrogen plays a pivotal role in how the brain processes sounds. This is Liisa Tremere, Jin Jeong, and Raphael Pinaud. - University of Rochester "While we are currently conducting further experiments to confirm it, we believe that our findings extrapolate to other sensory systems and vertebrate species," says Pinaud. "If this is the case, we are on the way to showing that estrogen is a key molecule for processing information from all the senses."
