Two new BRAF fusions in melanomas previously considered to be negative for molecular targets, and that melanomas with these fusions were found to be potentially sensitive to anticancer drugs called MEK inhibitors, reveal scientists. The findings of the study were published in iClinical Cancer Research/i, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

Charm Your Girl With the Right Testosterone Levels
A right mixture of testosterone can make healthy brain changes and a new study sheds light on how testosterone acts in the human brain to regulate speech and could help explain how anabolic steroids affect human behaviours. Singing and courting a female canary is more than just motivation. What's needed is a right mix of testosterone. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University have found that introducing testosterone in select areas of a male canary's ...A Good Night's Sleep Helps to Promote Brain Health
Swedish scientists on Tuesday said they had found further evidence that good sleep habits help to promote the health of brain cells while lack of sleep may promote neurodegenerative processes. The clues come in two so-called biomarkers -- tell-tales of biological activity -- found in the blood of sleep-deprived young men. A team at Uppsala University recruited 15 healthy volunteers, and deprived them of sleep for a night or let them sleep for eight hours. ...Global New Year 2014 Party Starts in Sydney With Dazzling Fireworks
New Year 2014 begins with a bang as Sydney kicked off New Year celebrations with a dazzling fireworks display, the first in a wave of pyrotechnics to usher in 2014 from Hong Kong to world record-chasing Dubai.
