Recent study has revealed the first common gene variants associated with an elevated risk of hypertension. Research team led by Christopher Newton-Cheh of the Massachusetts General Hospital's Center for Human Genetic Research studied the DNA of nearly 30,000 people.
The research team studied variants of two genes for these peptides -- atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Study showed clear relationship between three variants and higher levels of the peptides and, therefore, to lower blood pressure.
The number of children suffering from asthma is increasing continuously. Recent study has shown that pre-natal exposure pollution leads to some genetic changes in children which increase their risk of developing asthma.
Research team led by Dr Shuk-mei Ho, director of the Center for Environmental Genetics at the University of Cincinnati studied umbilical cord blood from 56 children. Study revealed "reprogramming" of a gene associated with exposure to compounds in traffic fumes.
Humans can have bad or good memories. Good memories give us happiness whereas bad memories can torture sometime. Recent study has shown that a drug, used for treating for high blood pressure can be used to remove bad memories.
Yahoo! announced to add variety of commercial models in its BOSS (Build Your Own Search Service) service, from recently announced free-based models to revenue sharing through advertising and co-branding of sites.

Leading telecommunications equipment and network solutions provider, ZTE Corporation ("ZTE") launched new data cards MF662 and MF645, adding two more products in its high speed packet access (HSPA) product portfolio. The MF662 is a compact HSDPA+ data card while MF645 is a USB TV data card used to relay highly quality digital TV signals over laptop with mobile broadband connection.
MF662, specially designed for HSPA+ networks, would offer high speed mobile internet surfing with its adapter offers download and upload rates of up to
21.6 Mbps over 3G network.
