University of Leicester scientists discover technique to help 'friendly bacteria'
There is currently a great deal of interest in the health-associated properties of probiotics, also known as 'beneficial' or 'friendly' bacteria, and prebiotics, the food needed for the growth of probiotic when inside our bodies. view more (2007-09-21)
'Invisible' bacteria dupe the human immune system
Scientists at the University of York have characterised an important new step in the mechanism used by bacteria to evade our immune system. view more (2008-02-20)
The beat goes on: a vertebrate heart that beats without oxygen
Scientists have discovered that the heart of a carp keeps beating when it is starved of oxygen for five days. "This is the first time that a vertebrate heart has been shown to survive such prolonged periods without oxygen and actually keep beating at the same rate as when oxygen is available" says Jonathan Stecyk (Simon Fraser... view more...

Taking folic acid does not reduce risk of precancerous colon tumors
Taking folic acid supplements does not reduce the risk of developing precancerous tumors in the colon and may even increase the risk, a new study has found. view more (2007-06-11)
Scrubbing sulfur
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a reusable organic liquid that can pull harmful gases such as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide out of industrial emissions from power plants. view more (2009-08-18)
Folic acid may prevent cleft lip and palate
A new study finds that women who take folic acid supplements early in their pregnancy can substantially reduce their baby's chances of being born with a facial cleft. view more (2007-01-29)
New folic acid seal helps women choose enriched grain foods to help prevent birth defects
Not enough American women understand that consuming the B vitamin folic acid every day can help prevent serious birth defects, and only 40 percent are taking daily multivitamin supplements containing this essential nutrient beginning before pregnancy, two recent surveys show. view more (2008-01-14)
Gene expands malaria's invasion options
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum uses different pathways to invade red blood cells, evading the body's immune system and complicating efforts to create effective vaccines against the disease. view more (2005-08-26)
The Natural Choice: Organic food has more of what it takes to keep you healthy
EATING organic food may help reduce your risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer. The finding will reignite the debate over its health benefits and may force regulatory agencies to reconsider their position. Until now there has been little scientific evidence to suggest that organic food is any... view more... (2002-03-13)
Drug used in coronary artery bypass graft surgery may increase risk of death
Aprotinin, a drug used for limiting blood loss in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, is associated with an increased risk of death during five years following the surgery. view more (2007-02-07)
Cranberries contain possible anti-caries/anti-plaque agents
Scientists have discovered that the humble cranberry harbors several anti-oxidants (flavonoids) that show the ability to counteract the damaging effects of the bacterium Streptococcus mutans, which causes dental caries (tooth decay). view more (2006-06-29)
Porous Silicon Joining Humans To Machines
Porous silicon was discovered as scientists attempted to electropolish silicon with an electrolyte containing hydrofluoric acid. The acid left a number of quantum dots in the silicon which trap electrons making it an efficient, luminescent semiconductor. The initial research findings from De Montfort suggest that the material may also be... view more... (1999-03-26)
Gut bacteria can manufacture defenses against cancer and inflammatory bowel disease
Bacteria naturally present in the human gut could produce substances that help to protect against colon cancer and provide therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. In a paper published in the journal Microbiology, researchers from the University of Aberdeen Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health and from the MTT Agrifood Research Institute in... view more...

Folic Acid Can Prevent Heart Disease
Folic acid is not only a safeguard against spina bifida and other birth defects in babies - it can also prevent heart disease and strokes, two of Northern Ireland's biggest killers, according to research from the University of Ulster. Research at the University has shown and folic acid and three other related B-vitamins can prevent the... view more... (2002-09-18)
University of Sussex biologists estimate the pace of evolution
Scientists at the University of Sussex have provided the key to resolving a 30-year-old controversy in evolutionary biology: what proportion of the differences between similar species came about as a result of natural selection, and how many are just the result of 'random genetic drift'. In a paper in this week's issue of Nature (28 February),... view more... (2002-02-26)
Injection of 'skin filler' material appears to stimulate collagen production
Injections with "dermal fillers" containing hyaluronic acid appear to stimulate production of collagen, a primary protein in the skin, and may partially restore the structure of sun-damaged skin, according to an article in the February issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-02-20)
Major 'missed' biochemical pathway emerges as important in virtually all cells
A new study by Duke University researchers provides more evidence that the nitric oxide (NO) system in the life of a cell plays a key role in disease, and the findings point to ways to improve treatment of illnesses such as heart disease and cancer. view more (2008-05-23)
Xylitol reduces risk of cavities
The sugar substitute xylitol affects the bacterial composition of the oral cavity even in low doses. On the other hand, a relatively high intake is needed to counteract the production of acid between the teeth. view more (2007-02-16)
New studies reveal that night-time acid reflux can impact sleep
According to results of a survey presented at the 72nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, nighttime acid reflux, along with some of the less typical manifestations or symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is associated with significant sleep impairment. view more (2007-10-15)
