Scientists have come closer to solving the mystery of what humankind has known for some time: adding salt to fruit makes it taste sweeter. Researchers at Tokyo Dental Junior College discovered it's not just a gene that allows the brain to register the taste of sweetness. Nor is it the T1R receptors on the tastebuds. Previous studies found disabling those cells had no effect in stopping the ability to perceive sweetness. Science Magazine reports the final type of receptor employs both pathways and also responds to fatty acids and umami flavors. This is an interesting piece of work that suggests the sweet taste is more complicated than we previously realized. Kathryn Medler, Taste Signaling Expert University of Buffalo
Salamanca, Spain, Feb 20 (EFE), (Camera: Carlos García).- Spanish and Portuguese researchers from Salamanca, Spain, and Coimbra, Portugal, have launched IDIALNET, a research network aiming the study of diagnosis and early prevention of leukemia.FOOTAGE OF RESEARCHERS.SOUNDBITES OF JULIA ALMEIDA, PROFESSOR AT THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE IN UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA AND COORDINATOR OF THE PROJECT:“Recently, the therapeutic strategies have radically changed in the sense of the treatment, which is aimed at molecules or molecular mechanisms, mechanisms related to the signals of altered molecules that can be typically seen with leukemia. So we are personalising or trying to personalise the treatment of these kinds of illnesses.”
Scientists at the University of Bath in the U.K. have made a discovery that they say challenges almost two centuries of knowledge on fertilization.
Since the Tesla Model X hit the market in October, some problems have persisted to plague some of the electric SUVs, though they are not widespread. Although it arrived far later than CEO Elon Musk anticipated, the vehicle is presenting problems to drivers due to design, components, and software. With complaints related to the large and angled windshield, drivers have noticed a "ghosting" effect can occur at night, producing an illusion of double vision. Other owners have noticed faulty falcon wing doors; outfitted with sensors to detect obstacles, one owner noted they don't look up as their doors struck a concrete overhang.
A team at Scripps Research Institute has discovered a new therapy that could prove to be a safer way to battle cancer.
