Toronto, Dec 17 (IANS) Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder, but also in the relationship of the eyes and mouth of the person, according to new research by Canadian and American researchers.
The distance between a woman’s eyes and the distance between her eyes and her mouth determine her attractiveness, say researchers [...]
Washington, Dec 17 (ANI): A new study has helped researchers from the University of California, San Diego and the University of Toronto discover ‘golden ratios’ for female facial beauty.

London, Dec 14 (ANI): New biosensors developed by researchers from the University of California, San Diego have successfully shown how a popular class of drugs used to treat schizophrenia works.
The biosensors have revealed previously hidden components of chemical communication in the [...]
Washington, December 5 (ANI): A new study by an international research team has opened up a window into the earth to reveal Hawaii’s deep roots, by suggesting that the Hawaiian hot spot is the result of an upwelling high-temperature plume from the lower mantle.
The project, called the Plume-Lithosphere Undersea Melt Experiment (PLUME), deployed a large [...]
Washington, December 5 (ANI): In a new research, computer scientists from University of California, San Diego, are creating a network of environmental sensors that will help people avoid air pollution hot spots by tracking their exact location.
The network is known as “CitiSense”, which is the vision of computer scientists from the UC San Diego Jacobs [...]
Washington, Nov 15 (ANI): Human milk can significantly improve nutritional and neurodevelopmental outcomes in premature babies, say experts.
University of California, San Diego Health Sciences have recently launched a website dedicated to offering families and the medical community valuable information about the best way to provide human milk to premature and underweight infants.

London, Nov 9 (ANI): Scientists from University of California, San Diego claim to have uncovered a mechanism that explains how bacteria interact with each other – a finding that would lead to new therapies for diseases such as cancer, diabetes and allergies.
Lead researcher Dr Pieter C. Dorrestein, assistant professor at UC San Diego’s Skaggs School [...]
Washington, Oct 28 (ANI): Electrical engineers at UC San Diego have created a new kind of music search engine that listens to music, and could even beat Genius – the music recommendation system in Apple’s iTunes.
It was found that Genius apparently captures acoustic similarities among songs within the same playlist.
They also discovered that the music [...]
Washington, October 26 (ANI): A team of biologists in California led by researchers at The Scripps Research Institute and the University of California (UC), San Diego, has solved the structure of a critical molecule that helps plants survive during droughts.
Understanding the inner workings of this molecule may help scientists design new ways to protect [...]
Washington, Sept 23 (ANI): While parents always teach their kids to be honest in life, they regularly lie to them as a way of influencing their behavior and emotions, says a new study.
The research team from University of California San Diego and University of Toronto refer to this practice as “parenting by lying.”
During the study, [...]
Washington, Sept 22 (ANI): Researchers have discovered gene variants for glaucoma.
The international team, led by researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the National Eye Institute, claims the discovery could lead to future treatments or a cure for the disease.
The study by Kang Zhang, MD, PhD, Director of the Institute [...]
London, September 7 (ANI): American scientists say that a molecular signature that that helps account for the aggressive behaviour of a variety of cancers-such as pancreatic, breast and melanoma-may also help identify patients who are likely to respond to a particular anti-cancer drug.
Researchers at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California-San Diego [...]
London, August 10 (ANI): An international team of researchers have established a link between mutations in the INPP5E gene and ciliopathies.
Led by scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, the research team say that their findings may lead to new therapies for these disease.
Ciliopathies are a newly emerging group of [...]
