Men assign less importance to care-oriented careers than women do, possibly because men internalize different values than women, suggests new research.

People with Type 2 diabetes who don't sleep well could need more time to heal their wounds, according to a new study.

Pilot fish's company brings in a new student intern to work in IT, and it seems like he should be a perfect fit — but it's not quite working out.
“He had great grades at a top institution, but he struggled mightily,” says fish. “He did not have a bad attitude, but he just couldn't pick up our technology.
“He had done well at everything he had ever tried, at least according to him. He came from a very successful family, and he just could not get how things could be so difficult.
“I put in extra time, because it seemed like it was my fault — like I wasn't explaining things so he could understand them. In the end, we gave him an A for effort and sent him back to school.

In a pioneering study, scientists have demonstrated that the use of chemically-modified DNA aptamers as protein markers allows one to enhance the power of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy as an imaging tool.

Fourteen years after one-year fellowship programs were created to give primary care physicians the clinical skills to better manage diabetes and its complications, new research finds resistance among payers and other physicians may slow growth of the fledgling specialty.

Researchers have found that fragments of the protein pepsinogen, an enzyme used to digest food in the stomach, can kill bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli. Such peptides could potentially be developed as new antibiotics.

The dynamics of water near solid surfaces play a critical role in numerous technologies, including water filtration and purification, chromatography and catalysis. One well-known way to influence those dynamics, which in turn affects how water “wets” a surface, is to modify the surface hydrophobicity, or the extent to which the surface repels water. Such modifications can be achieved by altering the average coverage, or surface density, of hydrophobic chemical groups on the interface.
