20 Thousand Leagues Under The Sea"¦ And Up Into Space
What could an astronaut learn from a crab? In the ocean, detecting depth is crucial. If an animal swims too deep it may be crushed by the immense pressure it encounters. Fortunately for the crab it is able to detect pressure using its balance system and, by exploiting the sensitivity of this system, it may be possible to compensate for the... view more...

Scientists identify cell changes leading to impaired 'artificial kidney' function
Molecular targets identified by a Spanish research team may hold the key to freedom for some sufferers of kidney disease. A new study published in Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), dmm.biologists.org, reveals the cellular signals which cause one treatment for kidney failure to lose its usefulness over time. view more (2008-10-28)
New Drugs Prevent Scarring After Glaucoma Eye Surgery
Highly innovative new drugs that can prevent scarring in the eye after glaucoma surgery have been discovered by a London-based team of scientists, who report today in the journal Nature Biotechnology.* By targeting more than one aspect of the scarring process at the same time, the team has been able to use the drugs safely and successfully in... view more...

New Type Of Reactor Developed For Cleaner, Safer Chemical Processing
Scientists in the UK are using an unusual form carbon dioxide in a new type of reactor capable of carrying out commercially important chemical processes which could be cheaper, safer and cleaner than their conventional counterparts. The work, reported in this month’s EPSRC Newsline is being carried out at the University of Nottingham led by... view more... (2001-02-05)
Materials scientists find better model for glass creation
Harvard materials scientists have come up with what they believe is a new way to model the formation of glasses, a type of amorphous solid that includes common window glass. view more (2009-11-05)
Debunking Constipation Myths: The Truth about High Fiber Diets and Laxatives
There are a lot of common myths about constipation treatment. An article in the January issue of The American Journal of Gastroenterology dispels those myths and clears numerous misconceptions regarding chronic constipation. From a high fibre diet to taking laxatives, researchers address the common beliefs concerning various aspects of the... view more... (2004-12-23)
Fruit fly phlebotomy holds neuroscience promise
Drawing blood from a fruit fly may only be slightly easier than getting it from a proverbial stone or turnip, but success could provide substantial benefits for neuroscientists. view more (2008-03-26)
MS patients have higher spinal fluid levels of suspicious immune molecule
A protein that helps keep immune cells quiet is more abundant in the spinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), further boosting suspicion that the protein, TREM-2, may be an important contributor to the disease. view more (2008-09-30)
Earth's core rotates faster than its crust, scientists say
Scientists have ended a 9-year-old debate by proving that Earth's core rotates faster than its surface, by about 0.3 to 0.5 degree per year. view more (2005-08-26)
UT Southwestern cardiologists find physical exams just as good for assessing heart failure
Patient history and physical examination, traditionally the cornerstone diagnostic tool for medical care, may still be among the most accurate and cost-efficient methods to assess patients with congestive heart failure, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2008-09-17)
Spinal taps carry higher risks for infants and elderly, study shows
An X-ray-guided spinal tap procedure fails more than half of the time in young infants and should be used sparingly, if at all, for those patients, according to a new study done by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. view more (2009-03-19)
Psychopathic behaviour linked to brain chemical imbalance
Psychopathic behaviour seems to be linked to an imbalance in critical brain chemicals, reveals a study of violent and sexual offenders, reported in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. The findings are based on 28 men up to the age of 45, all of whom had committed violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, aggravated... view more... (2003-06-18)
Purdue findings reveal possible Alzheimer's link to brain organ
Researchers have discovered that an organ in the brain called the choroid plexus apparently plays a critical role in preventing the accumulation of a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-03-22)
How to help baby like fruits and veggies
Moms, want your baby to learn to like fruits and vegetables? According to new research from the Monell Center, if you're breast feeding, you can provide baby with a good start by eating them yourself. view more (2007-12-03)
Lead-flapping objects experience less wind resistance than their trailing counterparts
It is commonly known that racing cars and bicyclists can reduce air resistance by following closely behind a leader, but researchers from New York University and Cornell University have found the opposite is true with flapping objects, such as flags. view more (2008-11-11)
Butterfly proboscis to sip cells
A butterfly's proboscis looks like a straw -- long, slender, and used for sipping -- but it works more like a paper towel, according to Konstantin Kornev of Clemson University. He hopes to borrow the tricks of this piece of insect anatomy to make small probes that can sample the fluid inside of cells. view more (2009-11-23)
Newly discovered proteins in seminal fluid may affect odds of producing offspring
Seminal fluid contains protein factors that, when transferred from a male to a female at mating, affect reproductive success. This is true of many different animals, from crickets to primates. view more (2008-07-29)
ANALYTICA 2004: The 5 Minute PCR
At Analytica 2004, the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) presents the prototype of its modular kit for a "chip-based lab". Thanks to the special microfluidic system and a miniaturized tempering unit, the modular construction system makes it possible to realize reproduceable polymerase chain reactions in less than five... view more...

Dark chocolate helps diarrhea
A new study conducted by researchers at Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland is the first to discover that a chemical in cocoa beans can limit the development of fluids that cause diarrhea. view more (2005-09-30)
Carbon nanotube membranes allow super-fast fluid flow
Membranes composed of manmade carbon nanotubes permit a fluid flow nearly 10,000 to 100,000 times faster than conventional fluid flow theory would predict because of the nanotubes' nearly friction-free surface. view more (2005-11-04)
