Sleeping sickness parasite shows how cells divide their insides
Graham Warren, professor of cell biology, and his colleagues at Yale study Trypanosoma brucei, the parasite that causes Sleeping Sickness.   view more (2005-11-08)

Unmasking the "Foreman" Of The Golgi Apparatus
The cell is a highly organized factory where each constituent has its place and a role to play. If one piece of this machinery falters, the whole cell is imperiled. The least anomaly may result in an uncontrolled cell likely to engender a variety of diseases, such as cancers. At the Institut... view more (2004-08-05)

Commencement 2008: Undergrad Has Sweet Success With Invention of Artificial Golgi
An undergraduate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has learned very quickly that a spoonful of sugar really does help the medicine go down. In fact, with his invention, the sugar may actually be the medicine.   view more (2008-05-08)

Molecular mechanism provides intra-cellular traffic signal
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have found that intra-cellular trafficking is tightly coordinated for maximum flow through cellular compartments - much as vehicles on a crowded road are allowed to pass quickly through a succession of green traffic lights.   view more (2006-10-18)

Certain diseases, birth defects may be linked to failure of protein recycling system
A group of signaling proteins known as Wnt - which help build the human body's skin, bone, muscle and other tissues - depend on a complex delivery and recycling system to ensure their transport to tissue-building cell sites, according to a study at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.   view more (2007-12-21)

How the Neuron Sprouts Its Branches
Neurobiologists have gained new insights into how neurons control growth of the intricate tracery of branches called dendrites that enable them to connect with their neighbors.   view more (2005-12-12)

Artificial night lighting jeopardises the survival of sea life
Artificial night lighting can jeopardise the survival of sea turtles by obliterating environmental cues. Writing in the August issue of Biologist, Mike Salmon, of Florida Atlantic University, USA, explains how artificial coastal lighting disturbs female sea turtles' navigation to nest beaches and... view more (2003-08-01)

Study supports the use of mechanical assistance for acute or chronic heart failure in high-risk patients
The success of long-term implantable ventricular assist devices (LVAD) or artificial hearts has led to their increased use in patients previously thought to be unsuitable for mechanical support. This study documents the shift in the demographic profile of patients in need of artificial hearts to a... view more (2004-11-10)

Cellular traffic backups implicated in skeletal malformations
A defective link in the intracellular protein "transit system" may lie at the heart of some craniofacial defects, new research in zebrafish suggests.   view more (2006-09-19)

Shark skin saves naval industry money
Covering ship hulls with artificial shark skin could help ships sailing smoothly. The growth of marine organisms such as barnacles on ship hulls is a major cause of increased energy costs in the naval industry. Shark skin offers a structural design that prevents this so called 'bio-fouling'.   view more (2005-07-18)

Press invitation: World's first cyborg visits University of Sussex
Kevin Warwick, Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading will give a talk entitled 'When will Cyborgs rule the World?' on Tuesday 28 May at the University of Sussex. Kevin Warwick hit the headlines most recently in March this year when he had electrodes inserted into his arm in order... view more (2002-05-23)

Early feeding could help reduce liver dysfunction in critically ill patients
Changing the way that critically ill patients suffering from sepsis or multiple organ failure are fed could reduce liver dysfunction.   view more (2007-01-29)

Plastic-Protein Hybrids
Functional membrane proteins in a block copolymer matrix Biological membranes form a fluid matrix, in which proteins "swim". Many of these membrane proteins are of interest for both pharmacological and biotechnological applications - for example, they are under consideration as biosensors... view more (2000-12-11)

Mechanical engineering helps research into the liver
Artificial glass livers being developed at the University of Leeds could help those suffering from liver failure, and improve understanding of how the organ works, researchers believe. Dr Peter Walker of mechanical engineering is leading Leeds' contribution to a three-year £320,000 project... view more (2004-01-26)

`Artificial vision` for recycling
The technological centre Robotiker from Zamudio (Basque Country) has developed a system of artificial sight to separate metals that come with copper, in order to obtain high purity copper. To recover copper from old cables it is not something new. However, the recycled copper is not pure, because... view more (2002-08-09)

Artificial gravity: the next small step?
Dr Kevin Fong will talk about artificial gravity, one of the latest technologies being considered for human missions to Mars, in an event organised by the Royal Institution on 11 May 2004. The latest results from the Mars Rovers are impressive but the red planet will not yield its secrets easily.... view more (2004-04-13)

Artificial membranes can reveal biological weapons
Today there is a great need for portable equipment that can quickly detect chemical and biological weapons such as nerve gases, viruses, bacteria, and toxins.   In a new dissertation the Swedish researcher Inga Gustafsson shows that artificial membranes can be used for this purpose... view more (2004-01-16)

Sunderland wins national AI award
A team of scientists from the University of Sunderland have won a major national award for their breakthrough in artificial intelligence. The team beat off stiff competition from the UK and abroad to win the British Computer Society's (BSC) Machine Intelligence Award, which recognises substantial... view more (2004-01-15)

Classical Physics falls short
With the aid of so-called quantum dots, PhD student Wilfred van der Wiel has gained new insight into quantum-mechanical processes. "This is one of the paths that could lead to smaller, but also fundamentally different electronics, " says Van der Wiel. He will receive his degree on 28... view more (2002-01-20)

Snow made from potatoes
Films set in snow-laden winter landscapes cannot always be produced in the dead of winter. Until now, expensive artificial snow had to be imported from Hollywood to obtain the desired effects. In addition, it is always a laborious task to remove the splendid white chips made from polyethylene film... view more (2002-12-20)

Fishy sixth sense could help robots navigate the oceans
Taking their cue from fish, scientists in the US have built a navigational aid that will help robots and remote sensors find their way around the world`s vast oceans. The team describes its research today in the Institute of Physics publication Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. Fish... view more (2002-06-21)
