		<description><![CDATA[Researchers at Northwestern University have recently published findings involving the preservation of hearing in the elderly. Their study tested the neural response of 87 patients to auditory stimulus, in order to record the neural speed of analysis. Two subject groups were defined: one consisting of participants who were trained in music from an early age [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists at Purdue University have designed a novel in-vivo pressure sensor which generates power by absorbing low frequency sounds, such as the bass frequencies of most music. The sensor consists of an ultra-sensitive cantilever which vibrates at certain frequencies, generating an electric charge. This charge is stored within a capacitor until the vibrations stop, at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shiga toxin is a dangerous by-product of certain infectious bacteria, such as strains of Shigella and E. coli, which causes symptoms ranging from intestinal pain to kidney failure and even death. Over 150 million people are afflicted with Shiga toxicosis every year, mostly in developing countries where waterborne diseases are prevalent. It is estimated that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems obvious that to move comfortably at a fast speed, it is necessary to run rather than walk very quickly. Until recently, however, it was widely unknown as to what exactly makes it easier to run than to walk quickly. Biomedical Engineers at North Carolina State University, after some experimentation, have determined the reason. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Proteins regulate the expression of genes in order to maintain physiological balance within the body. Improper protein concentrations can lead to over or under expression of certain genes, resulting in pathological or psychological disorders. One such protein, MeCP2, has been shown to affect genes which regulate anxiety and social interaction. Scientists at the Neurological Research [...]]]></description>
