| Why Women Have Sex” finds reasons in evolutionary biology - Mens Newsdaily Posted: 30 Sep 2009 08:38 AM PDT A new study by psychologists Cindy Meston and David Buss, "Why Women Have Sex," has just been published. "Many of the women were having sex purely because they wanted the experience, they wanted the adventure, they wanted to see what it was like to be with men of different ethnicities," she said. "Some women said they wanted more notches on the belt. They simply wanted to get rid of their virginity."

| Taking sharper aim at stomach ulcer bacteria - Genetic Engineering News Posted: 30 Sep 2009 09:13 AM PDT Sep 30 2009, 11:20 AM EST Taking sharper aim at stomach ulcer bacteriaEUREKALERT Contact: Michael Woodsm_woods@acs.org 202-872-6293 American Chemical Society Scientists are reporting discovery of a much sought after crack in the armor of a common microbe that infects the stomachs of one-sixth of the world's population, causing stomach ulcers and other diseases. They identified a group of substances that block a key chemical pathway that the bacteria need for survival. Their study, which could lead to new, more effective antibiotics to fight these hard-to-treat microbes, is scheduled for the October 16 issue of ACS Chemical Biology, a monthly journal. Javier Sancho and colleagues note in the new study that Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) bacteria infect the stomach lining and can cause gastritis and ulcers. Treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics can cure H. pylori infections. However, an estimated one billion people remain infected worldwide because of the cost of existing antibiotics and the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of the bacteria, the researchers say. The scientists knew from past research that blocking flavodoxin, a key protein that H. pylori needs for survival, could be the key to developing narrow-spectrum antibiotics that specifically target H. pylori. Sancho's team screened 10,000 chemicals for their ability to block flavodoxin and identified four that showed promise. They then showed that three of the four substances killed H. pylori in cell cultures and did not have any apparent toxic effects in lab animals. "These new inhibitors constitute promising candidates to develop new specific antibiotics against H. pylori," the study states.

| New species of leech discovered in South Jersey - Asbury Park Press Posted: 30 Sep 2009 05:46 AM PDT An inky black, worm-eating leech discovered in a Salem County yard has been declared a new species, according to Rutgers-Camden researchers. Haemopis ottorum was named after the Ott family of Alloway, which first brought the creature to Daniel Shain, one of the nation's few leech experts and an associate professor of biology at Rutgers-Camden. Their find is documented in a recent edition of the journal Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution. The majority of the world's terrestrial leeches are found in tropical areas, but Haemopis ottorum lives in the swampy, wooded areas and cedar bogs of South Jersey. It is one of only three known North American terrestrial leeches. And compared with most of the world's leeches, it's a monster. The first specimen was more than a foot long and grew to about 17 inches. It has a sucker on one end. On the other end, its pointy head has a mouth that stretches wide to swallow its prey whole. Bill Ott found that first specimen while mowing the lawn on a hot July day in 2003. His wife, Carol, kept the creature alive for months in an aquarium while searching for more information about it online but she couldn't find anything. She did find Shain, and hand-delivered it to his Pennsville home. "I just was so curious and I knew it was something so different and so cool," said Ott. "We're very inquisitive people anyway. We love nature and anything like that." Certain they had a new species on their hands, Shain and his students dubbed the leech "Piwi" after a stem cell gene they were studying. Research stalled, however, when the hermaphroditic creature did not reproduce in the lab. More specimens were needed, but it turned out the leech was hard to find. Beth Wirchansky, then a graduate student, took up the project. Working with other students, she spent three years hunting for more "Piwi" leeches around South Jersey, studying topographical maps to find possible sites. "Leeches are really fascinating creatures when you start to look at them," said Wirchansky, co-author of the paper with Shain and a May graduate with a master's in biology. "They're extremely complex. They're very diverse and have very interesting life strategies. There's not a lot known about them." |
