Potassium limitation, ammonium toxicity and amino acid excretion in yeast
As a single-celled eukaryote organism, the yeast strain S. cerevisiae has some limitations in terms of how it can be used as a model for more complex multicellular eukaryotes. view more (2006-10-17)
Carnegie Mellon scientists create PNA molecule with potential to build nanodevices
For the first time, a team of investigators at Carnegie Mellon University has shown that the binding of metal ions can mediate the formation of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) duplexes from single strands of PNA that are only partly complementary. view more (2005-10-04)
New UNC experiments show very weak chlorine solutions can kill noroviruses
Chlorine solutions much weaker than previously believed can still be used to kill more than 99 percent of noroviruses, the chief cause of outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness around the world, a new University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill study concludes. view more (2005-12-20)
Hot volcanic eruptions could lead to a cooler Earth
Volcanic eruptions may be an agent of rapid and long-term climate change, according to new research by British scientists. view more (2005-06-13)
New EU regulations lead to increased risk of cannibalism in hens
A hen has a hard time surviving on feed containing 100% environmentally certified ingredients, as the EU proposes to require as of the summer of 2005. Hens would not take in enough of the vital amino acid metionin, which would increase the risk of feather pecking and cannibalism, according to a new study by the Swedish University of Agricultural... view more...

arrow researcher finds natural hydrogel helps heal spinal cord
Research led by a scientist at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center has shown injecting biomaterial gel into a spinal cord injury site provides significantly improved healing. view more (2009-09-17)
Cornell researchers identify natural herbicide that controls weeds around some common lawn grasses
Certain varieties of common fescue lawn grass come equipped with their own natural broad-spectrum herbicide that inhibits the growth of weeds and other plants around them. view more (2007-11-09)
Uric acid and spinal cord injury treatment
Uric acid is commonly associated with the excruciatingly painful joint disease known as gout, but it can also play a crucial role in the treatment of spinal cord injury and other central nervous system disorders, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, according to Rutgers' Bonnie Firestein. view more (2007-01-04)
Supplementing babies' formula with DHA boosts cognitive development
Research has shown that children who were breast fed as infants have superior cognitive skills compared to those fed infant formula, and it's thought that this is due to an essential fatty acid in breast milk called docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). view more (2009-09-15)
Can an omega-3 fatty acid slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease?
Nutritionists have long endorsed fish as part of a heart-healthy diet, and now some studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids found in the oil of certain fish may also benefit the brain by lowering the risk of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-05-11)
Enzyme defect leads to hyperinsulinism
A recent study in the Journal of Biological Chemistry confirms that mutations in an enzyme called glutamate dehydrogenase can cause congenital hyperinsulinism. view more (2006-05-25)
Argonne researchers develop method that aims to stabilize antibodies
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have developed a systematic method to improve the stability of antibodies. view more (2009-09-04)
Plants' management of nutrient suggests environmental remedies
A new understanding of how plants manage their internal calcium levels could potentially lead to genetically engineering plants to avoid damage from acid rain, which robs soil of much of its calcium. view more (2007-03-09)
Drop in acid rain altering Appalachian stream water
Appalachian hardwood forests may be getting a respite from acid rain but data from a long-term ecological study of stream chemistry suggests that the drop in acid rain may be changing biological activity in the ecosystem and hiking dissolved carbon dioxide in forest streams. view more (2006-12-12)
Researchers block damage to fetal brain following maternal alcohol consumption
In a study on fetal alcohol syndrome, researchers were able to prevent the damage that alcohol causes to cells in a key area of the fetal brain by blocking acid sensitive potassium channels and preventing the acidic environment that alcohol produces. view more (2008-08-11)
Preserving a 460 year old wreck
An international team of researchers has analysed the sulphur and iron composition in the wooden timbers of the Mary Rose, an English warship wrecked in 1545, which was salvaged two decades ago. view more (2005-09-28)
Strange molecule in the sky cleans acid rain, scientists discover
Researchers have discovered an unusual molecule that is essential to the atmosphere's ability to break down pollutants, especially the compounds that cause acid rain. view more (2008-08-13)
Biochemists manipulate fruit flavor enzymes
Would you like a lemony watermelon? How about a strawberry-flavored banana? Biochemists at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston say the day may be coming when scientists will be able to fine tune enzymes responsible for flavors in fruits and vegetables. In addition, it could lead to environmentally-friendly pest control. view more (2008-08-21)
New synthetic compounds appear to prevent brain cell death
Spanish chemists have developed a promising set of synthetic compounds that one day could help slow or perhaps halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders. view more (2005-12-21)
Low cholesterol cues cataract development
Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Using a rat model of cataract formation, Masayuki Mori and researchers at Shinshu University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan have now found a link between cataracts and cholesterol. view more (2006-01-27)
