		<description><![CDATA[Last month, cardiac researchers at the University of Cincinnati discovered a unique gene associated with heart disease and diabetes. This gene, the HDAC9, was shown to prevent the effects of obesity (e.g. high blood sugar, cholesterol, and fatty liver disease) when deleted from mice being fed high fat diets. The HDAC9 gene codes for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Differential equations, or equations involving the rate of change of variable(s), are useful in modelling many natural phenomena. Population growth, for example, can be modeled quite simply using differential equations given that we accept the following premises: The rate of change of a population is proportional to the current population (since more people mean more [...]]]></description>

In fact, you don&#8217;t even have to spend much time walking or exercising, just 30 minutes a day will do.&#160;According to Dr. Mike Evans, the health benefits of walking or mildly intense aerobic exercise are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those seeking an easy, healthy, flavorful snack to supplement their daily diet, popcorn should be on the list. Researchers at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania have determined that popcorn actually contains higher levels (up to 300 mg per serving) of the antioxidant polyphenol than comparable fresh fruits and vegetables. Polyphenols assist in removing harmful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The thirst response doesn&#8217;t engage until the body has lost 1-2% of its total water volume. Mild dehydration, however, can potentially set in before the thirst response&#160;(at a loss of around 1.5% of total water volume). Hence the timeless advice: drink before you&#8217;re thirsty. But does dehydration really impact behavior? Researchers at the University of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists at MIT have recently developed micro-sized beads (roughly 200nm in diameter), comprised of a new sponge-like material, which act as carriers of a potential cancer treatment. Small strands of short interfering RNA (siRNA) are tightly packed into these microspheres and then injected into the bloodstream. Eventually, these microsponges pass through small openings created by a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is increasingly prevalent in young children, affecting about 5% of children globally. This disorder causes inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. When combined with a common comorbid disorder, oppositional defiant disorder (characterized by disobedience and hostility towards authority figures), children can become extremely difficult to manage and treat. Based on the response of [...]]]></description>
