Cells taken from men's testicles seem as versatile as the stem cells derived from embryos, researchers reported Wednesday in what may be yet another new approach in a burgeoning scientific field. The downside? Because of their source, these cells could only be used for regenerative medicine in male patients, not in female ones.
The study involved twenty-two samples from men aged seventeen to eighty-one. All of them men were undergoing treatments for other reasons

Female physicians have a better perception of asthma symptoms in children than their male counterparts, according to Turkish researchers.
The finding could indicate significant contribution of gender-related factors in clinical attitudes and beliefs,Bulent Sekerel (Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey) and colleagues explain in the journal BMC Health Services Research.
Understanding the level of management ability of physicians may guide interventions to improve quality of care and patient outcomes,?the authors write

A local government investigation over the appointment of a German university’s director is highlighting women’s struggle to reach top academic positions in the country...
Ordinarily, gender discrimination can be very hard to show, but in this case the woman at the center of the lawsuit made the appointment committee's final cut and the man who was eventually selected for the position did not.

There's no real difference between the scores of U.S. boys and girls on common math tests, according to a massive new study. Educators hope the finding will finally dispel lingering perceptions that girls don't measure up to boys when it comes to crunching numbers.
"This shows there's no issue of intellectual ability--and that's a message we still need to get out to some of our parents and teachers," says Henry "Hank" Kepner, president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in Reston, Virginia.
It won't be a new message

Women exposed to high levels of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls - a group of banned environmental pollutants) are less likely to give birth to male children.
A study published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Environmental Health found that among women from the San Francisco Bay Area, those exposed to higher levels of PCBs during the 50s and 60s, were significantly more likely to give birth to female children

What makes people gay? Biologists may never get a complete answer to that question, but researchers in Sweden have found one more sign that the answer lies in the structure of the brain.

Homosexual couples shed light on power sharing in relationships
Darkfrog submitted, created time 5 months 3 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
When Vermont legalized gay marriage, psychologists jumped on the opportunity to study human relationships. About a thousand heterosexual and homosexual couples participated in a study on relationships.
In general, homosexual relationships were more egalitarian, whereas in heterosexual ones the women got a disproportionate amount of the housework (and initiating conversations about relationship upkeep) and the men got a disproportionate amount of the financial responsibility. In addition, the homosexual couples argued better
MOF is a Key Regulator of Dosage Compensation and Gene Expression in Drosophila

Here the researchers report that the histone H4 lysine 16 (H4K16) specific histone acetyltransferase MOF displays differential binding behavior depending on whether the target gene is located on the X chromosome versus the autosomes. In conclusion, MOF is not only involved in the onset of dosage compensation, but also acts as a regulator of gene expression in the Drosophila genome.

The results reported here provide direct evidence for an essential function for N(6)-methyladenosine in a multicellular eukaryote, and the interaction with At FIP37 suggests possible RNA processing events that might be regulated or altered by this base modification.

In research that could give doctors a way to reassign sex in cases of unclear gender, scientists report this week that they have figured out why some children with genes that should make them boys are instead born as girls.

Recently, the researchers in the Universities of Exeter and Oxford suggests a high-calorie diet at pregnant time--and regular breakfasts--might increase the odds of a boy. And the modern trend to opt for low calorie diets might explain why the proportion of boys is falling in developed countries.
The study, by the Universities of Exeter and Oxford, appears in the Royal Society journal Biological Sciences.

It's interesting that hormone levels may affect success in the financial markets. The hormones testosterone and cortisol may reflect different stress triggers. The study finds a correlation between high and low testosterone levels and a higher or lower rate of success in stock trades, perhaps because of an increase or decrease in risk-taking. Female traders seem to be immune to this particular set of mood swings.
