The immaculateness of both genetic and foster mother's white cheek patch was related to the strength of chick's immune response suggesting that this was due to both nurture and genetics.

mysterious disease syndrome as key factors in bee colony deathsa new long-term study of honey bee health has found that a little-understood disease study authors are calling idiopathic
The study evaluated the health of 80 commercial colonies of honey bees (Apis mellifera) in the eastern United states on an almost monthly basis over the course of 10 months
The goal of the study was to track changes in bee colony health and for those colonies that died off to determine what factors earlier in the year may have contributed to colony death.

Cohan's talk focused on uncertainties in estimating the health benefits that will result from efforts to control ozone pollution.
but some epidemiological studies show that substantial health benefits can also result from reducing ozone at other times he said.
Thus emission-control strategies aimed solely at achieving regulatory standards may not yield as great a health benefit as strategies that reduce ozone year-round.
At the same time we want to enhance our understanding of the health cost of pollution --and celebrate its continuing reduction.

#Zinc helps against infection by tapping brakes in immune responsenew research suggests that zinc helps control infections by gently tapping the brakes on the immune response in a way that prevents out-of-control inflammation that can be damaging and even deadly.
so helps balance the immune response. This study revealed for the first time that zinc homes in on this pathway
and helps shut it down effectively ensuring that the immune response does not spiral out of control.
The benefit to health is explicit: Zinc is beneficial because it stops the action of a protein ultimately preventing excess inflammation.
what happens when the immune response is launched. When a pathogen is recognized a series of molecules wake up from dormancy to create a process that activates the innate immune response.
A major part of this process involves the NF-Î B pathway named for a highly active protein that is known to play an important role in the immune response to infection.
Once NF-Î B is activated and enters the nucleus a gene is expressed that produces a zinc transporter called ZIP8.
Red meat and poultry provide the majority of zinc in the American diet according to the National institutes of health.
