Cardiac cell transplant studies show promise in cardiac tissue repair
Two studies published in the current issue of CELL TRANSPLANTATION (17:6) examine the efficacy of transplanting bone marrow cells (BMCs) for the repair of heart tissue. view more (2008-09-04)
Going Ballistic: Soft Structures Could Spell The End For Slow Shrimps
Many animals are able to rapidly extend their tongues to catch prey. In fact, the chameleon extends its tongue at an acceleration rate of 500 metres per second square - generating 5 times the G force experienced by an F-16 fighter during its most demanding maneouvre! New research presented at the Society for Experimental Biology conference in... view more... (2002-04-09)
MAXUS 4 is now ready for launch
Following the success of the earlier Maxus flights which have taken place since 1992, the countdown is underway for the launch of ESA’s Maxus 4 sub-orbital microgravity mission on 29 April from ESRANGE, near Kiruna in northern Sweden. During the last two years, scientists from five European countries have been working together with the... view more... (2001-04-26)
Scientists identify how gastric reflux may trigger asthma
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center appear to have solved at least a piece of a puzzle that has mystified physicians for years: why so many patients with asthma also suffer from GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. view more (2008-07-22)
Researchers design model for automated, wearable artificial kidney
Two researchers from UCLA and the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System have developed a design for an automated, wearable artificial kidney, or AWAK, that avoids the complications patients often suffer with traditional dialysis. view more (2008-07-11)
Tracking Cystic Fibrosis with Mice: DFG fellow develops an animal model for the disease
Cystic fibrosis, also known as mucoviscidosis, is one of the most common genetic diseases with a fatal outcome in western Europe. The disease is caused by a defective gene that affects the salt and fluid composition of respiratory tract secretions. As a result, they become highly viscous. The viscous mucous then clumps in the smaller lung... view more... (2004-04-26)
Avenir Energie's Geopack pumps up the energy
Geopack, the latest geothermal heating system from Avenir Energie, is on show at Frankfurt's ISH Trade Fair from 15 to 19 March 2005. Designed to meet all the heating needs of a typical domestic house or similar building, Geopack captures the free and unlimited energy that naturally exists in the soil, and converts it to a useable form via a... view more...

Inflammation may cause preterm labor and fetal deaths
Inflammation from bacterial infections is linked to preterm births and deaths, according to researchers from Case Western Reserve University's School of Dental Medicine and the Case School of Medicine. view more (2007-08-09)
Fluid theory confirmed by Foton
n scientific research, there is great satisfaction when theoretical work is eventually supported by experimentation. Such was the case this week for a team of Italian and US scientists when they received preliminary confirmation of a 10-year-old theory from a fluid science experiment that is currently orbiting the Earth on the Foton-M3 spacecraft. view more (2007-09-26)
Robotic whiskers can sense three-dimensional environment
Many mammals use their whiskers to explore their environment and to construct a three-dimensional image of their world. Rodents, for example, use their whiskers to determine the size, shape and texture of objects, and seals use their whiskers to track the fluid wakes of their prey. view more (2006-10-09)
Brownian motion under the microscope
An international group of researchers from the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), the University of Texas at Austin and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany have demonstrated that Brownian motion of a single particle behaves differently than Einstein postulated one century ago. view more (2005-10-12)
Triptolide: A potential drug for polycystic kidney disease
A treatment for polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a leading cause of fatal kidney failure worldwide, has been identified by a research team led by Yale biochemist Craig Crews, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-03-06)
Brain Wave Monitor Could Replace Lumbar Puncture
Scientists in Southampton have developed non-invasive technology to measure the fluid pressure in the brain safely and painlessly which they hope will eventually reduce the need for a lumbar puncture. Collaborators in London now believe it could be a major advance in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as meningitis, head injury and... view more... (2004-12-16)
Nevada company, ORNL develop potential lifesaver
A Las Vegas business and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are improving the odds for people medically at risk from dehydration or congestive heart failure. view more (2007-12-21)
Prepregnancy Weight Increasing, Bringing More Risk
A growing number of women are overweight or obese when they become pregnant, a condition that is risky to both mother and baby, a new study conducted by researchers at the University at Buffalo has shown. view more (2005-12-16)
Study reveals new player in sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome
Every year, more than 200, 000 Americans die from sepsis, a severe illness caused by bacterial infection of the bloodstream. view more (2006-01-24)
Production of spherical beads with the JetCutter
A major problem in particle production technology is the large scale production of uniform beads from viscous fluids. Producing such beads is of interest in various industrial sectors, e.g. chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry, agriculture, biotechnology. The JetCutter is a new and simple technology for bead production that meets the... view more... (2003-11-03)
Tiny samples could yield big predictive markers for pancreatic cancer
A handful of proteins, detected in incredibly tiny amounts, may one day help doctors distinguish between a harmless lesion in the pancreas and a potentially deadly one, say researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center. view more (2009-03-11)

New data supports a non-invasive approach to routine prenatal genetic testing
Research studies demonstrating the viability of an approach to routinely detect the presence of fetal DNA in a mother's blood to accurately diagnose or rule out genetic defects — as early as the first trimester — was presented today at the 27th Annual Meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine being held in San Francisco. view more (2007-02-12)
