Molecules wrestle for supremacy in creation of superstructures
Research at the University of Liverpool has found how mirror-image molecules gain control over each other and dictate the physical state of superstructures. view more (2009-08-14)
Trans-fatty acids and insulin sensitivity
Trans-fatty acids have been the topic of a lot of negative health news, but in the July Journal of Lipid research, a dietary study in rats suggests that trans-fats do not increase the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes, which may ease at least one area of concern. view more (2008-07-09)
Scripps Research Scientists Discover Remarkable Editing System For Protein Production
Even small mistakes made by cells during protein production can have profound disease effects, but the processes cells use to correct mistakes have been challenging to decipher. Recent work by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute, however, has uncovered two surprising new methods for such editing. view more (2008-01-03)
Scientists succeed in designing artificial enzymes that also undergo 'evolution in a test tube'
Mankind triumphed in a recent 'competition' against nature when scientists succeeded in creating a new type of enzyme for a reaction for which no naturally occurring enzyme has evolved. This achievement opens the door to the development of a variety of potential applications in medicine and industry. view more (2008-03-25)
UCLA study shows altering fatty acid levels in diet may reduce prostate cancer growth rate
UCLA researchers found that altering the fatty acid ratio found in the typical Western diet to include more omega-3 fatty acids and decrease the amount of omega-6 fatty acids may reduce prostate cancer tumor growth rates and PSA levels. view more (2006-08-01)
Huge virulence gene superfamily responsible for devastating plant diseases
A research team from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech has identified an enormous superfamily of pathogen genes involved in the infection of plants. view more (2008-04-03)
Edible coating makes fish filets longer-lasting, healthier
Consumers may be able to eat longer-lasting, potentially healthier fish fillets if research at Oregon State University makes its way to the supermarket. view more (2009-07-17)
Grandma was right - cod liver oil is good for you!
In inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, the presence of unusual fatty acids, Omega or n-3 fatty acids, (that are uniquely present in fish oils but not other oils common in the diet) in the cartilage cells reduces the activity of specific enzymes (Proteolytic or aggrecanase enzymes) that are responsible for cartilage damage. view more (2000-01-12)
Omega-6 fats cause prostate tumors to grow twice as fast
Omega-6 fatty acids-such as those found in corn oil-caused human prostate tumors in cell culture to grow twice as quickly as tumors to which omega-6 fats had not been added, according to a study conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. view more (2006-02-01)
Improving your diet may not help you beat stress
Research published online in the Journal of Proteome Research, shows how improving the diet of rats placed in stressful environments did not normalise their metabolic profile, an indicator of their health. view more (2006-07-06)
Biologists discover 'death stench' is a universal ancient warning signal
The smell of recent death or injury that repels living relatives of insects has been identified as a truly ancient signal that functions to avoid disease or predators, biologists have discovered. view more (2009-09-14)
Discovery may help defang viruses
Researchers may be able to tinker with a single amino acid of an enzyme that helps viruses multiply to render them harmless, according to molecular biologists who say the discovery could pave the way for a fast and cheap method of making vaccines. view more (2007-08-29)
Fish vision discovery makes waves in natural selection
Emory University researchers have identified the first fish known to have switched from ultraviolet vision to violet vision, or the ability to see blue light. The discovery is also the first example of an animal deleting a molecule to change its visual spectrum. view more (2009-10-19)
Forecasting Heart Storms
The requirements of man to the weather forecast are changing before our eyes. Before, a temperature, precipitation and wind forecast could do, while now man want to know the condition of the electromagnetic field of the Earth in a month ahead, desirably. Those, who suffer from heart diseases, are the ones to worry most of all: cardio-vascular... view more... (2002-04-02)
New technique boosts by four times the size of a protein that researchers can analyze
Imagine you had to break a secret code, but you could see only part of the message. That's the kind of frustration researchers face when trying to identify proteins and characterize how those proteins are modified in cells by biological processes. view more (2006-10-09)
UF researchers develop improved gene therapy agent
Replacing one amino acid on the surface of a virus that shepherds corrective genes into cells could be the breakthrough scientists have needed to make gene therapy a more viable option for treating genetic diseases such as hemophilia, University of Florida researchers say. view more (2008-05-20)
U of M study: Health food supplement may curb addiction of pathological gamblers
University of Minnesota researchers have discovered that a common amino acid, available as a health food supplement, may help curb pathological gamblers' addiction. view more (2007-09-12)
Seeing Alzheimer's amyloids
In an important step toward demystifying the role protein clumps play in the development of neurodegenerative disease, researchers have created a stunning three-dimensional picture of an Alzheimer's peptide aggregate using electron microscopy. view more (2008-05-13)
Alteration of brain protein regulates learning
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a biochemical switch that affects how neurons fire in a part of the brain associated with learning, findings that may aid in understanding schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-08-18)
Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids-substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts-significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells. view more (2006-04-03)
