  • Beauty of Butterfly Wing Patterns May Hold Key to Understanding Morphological Evolution
    3/7/02
    The beautiful patterns on butterfly wings are emerging as exceptional model systems that may reveal much about how the shapes, sizes and colors of specific organisms have evolved, a type of study called morphological evolution, according a paper featured on the cover of the March issue of Trends in Ecology and Evolution that is co-authored by Antonia Monteiro, Ph.D., University at Buffalo assistant professor of biological sciences.

  • Study Finds No Relationship Between Respiratory Illnesses and Frequent Exposure to Mists from "Dental Aerosols"
    3/7/02
    A study by dental researchers from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine offers a preliminary answer to the question of whether breathing in mists spun off by dental drills causes respiratory illness.
  • Novel Peptide May Possess Antifungal Activity, Study in Mice with Vaginal Candidiasis Shows
    3/6/02
    A novel peptide derived from a molecule found in human saliva may be effective in treating a fungal infection, researchers in the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine have found. The peptide, labeled MUC7 16-mer, has shown the capacity to kill strains of fungi in vitro that are resistant to most current antifungal treatments, making it a potential candidate for a new fungicide.
  • UB Part of Demonstration Project Developing Model Pediatric Palliative-Care Programs
    3/6/02
    In response to concerns that the American health-care system offers almost no palliative care for terminally ill children, psychologist James Donnelly, Ph.D., of the University at Buffalo, is conducting an assessment of the palliative-care needs of terminally ill children and their parents. The needs assessment will be conducted, in part, through brainstorming sessions over the World Wide Web between palliative-care workers, medical personnel and patients' families.
