A shape comparison of the most complete fossil femur (thigh bone) of one of the earliest known pre-humans, or hominins, with the femora of living apes, modern humans and other fossils, indicates the earliest form of bipedalism occurred at least six million years ago and persisted for at least four million years.
Eli Hatchwell, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Pathology at Stony Brook University Medical Center, and colleagues have found that a disruption of the Contactin 4 gene on chromosome 3 may be linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
In a population of African origin, persons with diagnosed and treated glaucoma appeared to have an increased risk of death from cardiovascular causes, according to a study by Suh-Yuh Wu, and colleagues in the Departments of Preventive Medicine and Ophthalmology at Stony Brook University, the University of the West Indies, and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers at Stony Brook University Medical Center has identified a family of genes linked to the development of liver cancer. Principal Investigator Wadie F. Bahou, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Genetics, and colleagues discovered in a mouse model that the loss of one specific gene (Iqgap2) in this family causes Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
A team of research scientists led by Robert S. Haltiwanger, Ph.D., Professor and Interim Chair, Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University School of Medicine, identified a novel gene in flies that if mutated shuts off the Notch receptor. Notch initiates an essential cell-signaling pathway involved in cell differentiation during animal development.
A record five of the 40 high school students selected nationwide as finalists in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search, also known as the "junior Nobel Prize" research competition, conducted their research at Stony Brook University under the mentoring of Stony Brook faculty.
The world will experience a significant acceleration in the speed of population aging over the coming years but slow down by mid-century, according to a study by Warren Sanderson, Professor and Co-Chairman of the Department of Economics, Stony Brook University; and colleagues from the World Population Program at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria.
People from East Asian cultures use their brains differently than people from American culture when solving the same mental task based on simple visual perception. This finding is based on the results of a brain imaging study by researchers from Stony Brook University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University.
Clinical evidence suggests that drug-eluting stents in patients undergoing coronary artery revascularization procedures relieve obstructive coronary artery disease, provide durable mechanical results, and do more good than harm.
The December 24 issue of TIME Magazine selected to its list of "Top 10 Scientific Discoveries in 2007" the findings of a Stony Brook University-led team of international scientists that used a sophisticated method to accurately date a human skull found in South Africa in 1952.
Stony Brook University Medical Center researcher Kanokporn (Noy) Rithidech, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Research Pathology, received a $1.4 million grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research that is designed to gain a better understanding about the possible cancer risks encountered by astronauts when they are exposed to space radiation.
A new radiotherapy system that combines high-tech imaging with precision tumor-targeting capability is helping cancer specialists at Stony Brook University Medical Center treat patients.
The Department of Family Medicine at Stony Brook University Medical Center received a five-year $1.33 million grant from the N.Y. State Department of Health (DOH) to create a Center for Best Practices to Prevent and Reduce Childhood Obesity. The Center coordinates with healthcare providers to prevent, treat, and screen for obesity in women of child-bearing years, pregnant women and infants.
Two Long Island students who spent the majority of their summer doing research in the Chemistry Lab of Professor Iwao Ojima at Stony Brook University, were selected as Grand Prize winners in the Team category of the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology.
Mirjana Maletic-Savatic, M.D., Ph.D, and co-investigators at Stony Brook University Medical Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory are the first worldwide to find a way to image a biomarker of neural stem and progenitor cells (NPCs) in the living human brain.
Seeds from a plant which grows in wheat fields in the Balkan region and which has been used throughout Europe and Asia as an herbal remedy for 2000 years, is contaminating the wheat grain, leading to a devastating kidney disease, a study led by Dr. Arthur Grollman of Stony Brook University and published in PNAS (July 17) suggests.
