CSHL links activity in brain synapses and developmental abnormalities with schizophrenia gene
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) researchers have identified a function of neuregulin1 (NRG1), a gene previously linked to schizophrenia but whose role in the disease was unknown.   view more (2007-05-25)

Physicists exploit ultra-cold gases to measure ultra-small magnetic fields
Capturing the coldest atoms in the universe within the confines of a laser beam, University of California, Berkeley, physicists have made a device that can map magnetic fields more precisely than ever before.   view more (2007-05-22)

UPMC performs first beating heart transplant procedure in the US
Protected by its own nutrients and blood supply, a beating heart supported by an investigational organ preservation device was successfully transplanted into a 47-year-old man with congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension on Sunday, April 8.   view more (2007-05-18)

Revamped, Renewed, Restarted: Oak Ridge High Flux Isotope reactor back on line
he research reactor at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is back in action and better than ever. After $70 million in renovations and more than a year of meticulous system checks, ORNL's High Flux Isotope Reactor was restarted this week, taken to 10 percent power, and reached its peak power of 85 megawatts Wednesday.   view more (2007-05-18)

Ten Inventions Created for James Webb Space Telescope Approved
Scientists and engineers have been working for years to develop ten technologies for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, like big mirrors that will actually move around in space and computer software that will make it happen, or the materials that make up a giant sunshield as big as a tennis court.   view more (2007-05-04)

Scripps research team sheds light on long-sought cold sensation gene
The discovery, reported in the May 3 issue of the journal Neuron, might one day lead to the development of drugs that induce cold sensation as an analgesic, or block it to prevent certain forms of chronic pain associated with cold sensation.   view more (2007-05-03)

Machine preservation may promote more organ sharing
Preserving the kidneys of deceased older donors on a pump - as opposed to the conventional method of storing and transporting organs in a cooler - may lower hospital costs, improve initial organ function, and promote greater use and more sharing of organs, according to new research by Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.   view more (2007-05-03)

Increasing survival of organ transplant patients by reducing time interval for transported organs
Preservation of an organ intended for transplant during transport from donor to recipient is of primary concern in ensuring a successful transplant.   view more (2007-04-27)

CSHL shows correcting rna splicing may help treat spinal muscular atrophy
RNA splicing antisense technology studied at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) effectively corrected an mRNA splicing defect found in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients, and is now ready to be tested in mouse models.   view more (2007-03-13)

UC Davis researchers discover key to body's ability to detect subtle temperature changes
Scientists have long known the molecular mechanisms behind most of the body's sensing capabilities. Vision, for example, is made possible in part by rhodopsin, a pigment molecule that is extremely sensitive to light.   view more (2007-02-26)

High-frequency cryocooler is tiny, cold and efficient
A new cryogenic refrigerator has been demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that operates at twice the usual frequency, achieving a long-sought combination of small size, rapid cooling, low temperatures and high efficiency.   view more (2007-02-16)

Cold climate produced by algae contributed to onset of multicellular life
The rise of multicellular animals about 540 million years ago was a turning point in the history of life. A group of Finnish scientists suggests a new climate-biosphere interaction mechanism for the underlying processes in a new study.   view more (2007-02-14)

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scientists discover new gene that prevents multiple types of cancer
A decades-old cancer mystery has been solved by researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). "We not only found a critical tumor suppressor gene, but have revealed a master switch for a tumor suppressive network that means more targeted and effective cancer therapy in the future," said CSHL Associate Professor Alea Mills, Ph.D.... view more...

Built-in molecular brakes curb the sniffles
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered how our anti-infection machinery turns itself down and limits the sniffles, congestion and fevers that are a side effect of the campaign against invading viruses.   view more (2007-01-18)

Plants point the way to coping with climate change
Roses flowering at Christmas and snow-free ski resorts this winter suggest that climate change is already with us and our farmers and growers will need ways of adapting.   view more (2007-01-10)

Cold sore virus might play role in Alzheimer's disease
A gene known to be a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease puts out the welcome mat for the virus that causes cold sores, allowing the virus to be more active in the brain compared to other forms of the gene.   view more (2007-01-04)

PET Imaging Shows Young Smokers Quick Benefit of Quitting
The early stages of coronary artery disease in young smokers can be reversed quickly if they choose to put out their cigarettes for good, according to a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging study in the December Journal of Nuclear Medicine.   view more (2006-12-06)
