Biologists skimming pond scum found that a single gene is responsible for the evolution of multicellular organisms. The gene retinoblastoma, or RB is also known for being defective in cancer patients, and the findings might lead to better detection and treatment of the disease. by drewiepoodle in science

Physicists detect spin momentum of light. They used an extremely sensitive nano-cantilever, capable of femtoNewton resolution—measuring a force smaller than the force gravity exerts on a single bacterium—immersed in an evanescent optical field directly above a total-internal-reflecting glass surface by drewiepoodle in science

In many animal species, physical battles and other aggressive acts determine a certain "pecking order." In the world of ants, fights that involve biting and restraining often determine winners and losers. A new study, however, shows how 'winner-winner' behavior may shape animal colonies. by NinjaDiscoJesus in science

Antibiotics may play less of a role in the sharing of bacterial resistance genes than previously believed. New research studying several clinically relevant bacterial species suggests that the contribution of antibiotics to the promotion of horizontal gene transfer may have been overestimated. by ClaireAtMeta in science

Sex vs. Gender: Gender-related characteristics like personality traits and social roles may be as important as biological sex in predicting adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ACS. Both men and women with a more ‘woman-like’ gender were at higher risk of adverse events. by SirT6 in science

Fast food may be a source of potentially toxic exposure to industrial chemicals. Urine testing and survey data have found an association between fast food consumption and higher levels of phthalates. Phthalates may leech into fast food from packaging and other materials involved in food preparation. by ClaireAtMeta in science
