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)
Selecting life: Scientists find new way to search for origin of life
Over the last half century, researchers have found that mineral surfaces may have played critical roles organizing, or activating, molecules that would become essential ingredients to all life-such as amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) and nucleic acids (the essence of DNA). But which of the countless possible combinations of... view more... (2006-11-10)
The 'see food' diet
Current research suggests that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent one of the leading causes of legal blindness among the elderly. view more (2009-07-23)
Researchers Discover Master Metabolism Regulator with Links to Obesity, Heart Disease, and Malnutrition
Two biologists at Penn State have discovered a master regulator that controls metabolic responses to a deficiency of essential amino acids in the diet. view more (2007-02-07)
Researchers 'see' structure of open nicotinic acetylcholine ion channels
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is an essential chemical communicator, carrying impulses from neurons to skeletal muscle cells and many parts of the nervous system. view more (2008-04-08)
Peptides-on-demand: McGill researcher's radical new green chemistry makes the impossible possible
McGill University chemistry professor Chao-Jun (C.J.) Li is known as one of the world leading pioneers in green chemistry, an entirely new approach to the science which eschews the use of toxic, petrochemical-based solvents in favour of basic substances like water and new ways of making molecules. view more (2009-02-25)
Prevention of scrapie by means of selection in animals
To help prevent scrapie in sheep by means of animal selection is the aim of a project, throughout the whole of Spain, by a research group from the Agrarian Production Department of the Public University of Navarre together with other institutions such as the National Institute for Agrarian and Animal Feed Research & Technology (INIA), the... view more...

Microbes at work cleaning up the environment
It may sound counterintuitive to use a microbial protein to improve water quality. view more (2007-06-18)
Using microbes for the quick clean up of dirty oil
Microbiologists from the University of Essex, UK have used microbes to break down and remove toxic compounds from crude oil and tar sands. view more (2009-09-08)
UIC researchers show how cancer-preventing foods work
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago are unraveling the biochemical mechanism by which functional foods combat cancer. view more (2005-07-11)
Life detection instrument passes key test on road to Mars
The dry, dusty, treeless expanse of Chile's Atacama Desert is the most lifeless spot on the face of the Earth, and that's why Alison Skelley and Richard Mathies joined a team of NASA scientists there earlier this month. view more (2005-06-29)
Omega fatty acid balance can alter immunity and gene expression
For the past century, changes in the Western diet have altered the consumption of omega-6 fatty acids (w6, found in meat and vegetable oils) compared with omega-3 fatty acids (w3, found in flax and fish oil). view more (2009-06-01)
Researchers discover key mechanism by which lethal viruses Ebola and Marburg cause disease
Researchers in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Caribbean Primate Research Center have discovered a key mechanism by which the Filoviruses, Ebola and Marburg, cause disease. view more (2006-10-17)
Healthier Salmon Means Healthier Cardiac Patients
A study carried out by the Heart and Lung Centre at Ullevaal Hospital in Oslo has demonstrated that domesticated salmon fed with fish oil containing a large amount of omega-3 fatty acids is better for cardiac patients than salmon fed with vegetable oil (rapeseed oil). view more (2004-09-01)
Natural-born divers and the molecular traces of evolution
An aquatic lifestyle imposes serious demands for the organism, and this is true even for the tiniest molecules that form our body. view more (2009-06-29)
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)
Eating fish cuts risk of dementia
Elderly people who eat fish or seafood at least once a week are at lower risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Using data from a large ageing study, a team of French researchers set out to test whether there was a relation between consumption of fish (rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids) or... view more...

3-D forms link antibiotic resistance and brain disease
The story of what makes certain types of bacteria resistant to a specific antibiotic has a sub-plot that gives insight into the cause of a rare form of brain degeneration among children, according to investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2006-08-21)
Omega-3 fatty acids may slow down early Alzheimer's in some cases
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements may slow cognitive decline in some patients with very mild Alzheimer's disease, according to new findings from Karolinska Institutet (KI) in Sweden. view more (2006-10-11)
Research shows aerobic exercise helps maintain muscle in elderly
Why do older people tend to lose muscle mass and grow frail? One important factor identified by medical science is the reduced ability of the elderly to respond to the muscle-building stimulus of the hormone insulin. view more (2007-05-31)
