Body's anti-HIV drug explained
Humans have a built-in weapon against HIV, but until recently no one knew how to unlock its potential. view more (2008-10-13)
Evolution study tightens human-chimp connection
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have found genetic evidence that seems to support a controversial hypothesis that humans and chimpanzees may be more closely related to each other than chimps are to the other two species of great apes - gorillas and orangutans. view more (2006-01-24)
UNC study: Tinkering with the circadian clock can suppress cancer growth
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have shown that disruption of the circadian clock - the internal time-keeping mechanism that keeps the body running on a 24-hour cycle - can slow the progression of cancer. view more (2009-02-04)
New study suggests the brain predicts what eyes in motion will see
When the eyes move, objects in the line of sight suddenly jump to a different place on the retina, but the mind perceives the scene as stable and continuous. view more (2009-08-26)
Systems biology approach identifies nutrient regulation of biological clock in plants
Using a systems biological analysis of genome-scale data from the model plant Arabidopsis, an international team of researchers identified that the master gene controlling the biological clock is sensitive to nutrient status. view more (2008-03-17)
Danish Researchers Break the Limits of the Internet
A team of Danish physicists has taken a crucial step towards an Internet that is faster and more secure than what we know today. The researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have created an atomic memory that, in time, will be able to break the limits for Internet communication. The team's breakthrough was... view more... (2004-11-26)
Size matters: Friction, adhesion change on atomic level
Physicists have a pretty good idea of what to expect when friction and adhesion occur in the visible world. You jam on the brakes, for instance, and your tires and the highway interact to stop your car. You glue two pieces of wood together, and they stick. view more (2005-06-30)
Scientists unravel the molecular basis of monarch butterfly migration
Since its discovery, the annual migration of eastern North American monarch butterfly has captivated the human imagination and spirit. That millions of butterflies annually fly up to 2000 miles to reach a cluster of pine groves in central Mexico comprising just 70 square miles is for many an awesome and mysterious occurrence. view more (2008-01-09)
Old gastrointestinal drug slows aging, McGill researchers say
Recent animal studies have shown that clioquinol - an 80-year old drug once used to treat diarrhea and other gastrointestinal disorders - can reverse the progression of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. view more (2009-01-07)
Rockefeller researchers discover a biological clock within a clock
Just as a pocket watch requires a complex system of gears and springs to keep it ticking precisely, individual cells have a network of proteins and genes that maintain their own internal clock - a 24-hour rhythm that, in humans, regulates metabolism, cell division, and hormone production, as well as the wake-sleep cycle. view more (2006-01-13)
Networking around the clock
A Brandeis University study published in Cell this week shows for the first time experimentally that the circadian cells in fruit flies function as a network that enables the insects to adapt their behavior according to seasonal changes. view more (2007-04-09)
MicroRNAs grease the cell's circadian clockwork
Most of our cells possess an internal clock, a group of genes displaying a cyclic expression pattern that reaches a peak once a day. view more (2009-06-01)
Clock-shifts affect risk of heart attack
Adjusting the clocks to summer time on the last Sunday in March increases the risk of myocardial infarction in the following week. In return, putting the clocks back in the autumn reduces the risk, albeit to a lesser extent. view more (2008-10-31)
Missing or mutated 'clock' gene linked to vascular disease
The circadian clocks that set the rhythmic motion of our bodies for wakeful days and sleepy nights can also set us up for vascular disease when broken, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-03-26)
Molecular fossils uncover link between viruses and the immune system
Researchers from the Viikki Biocenter, University of Helsinki, show that atomic structures can reveal evolutionary history of viruses in a similar fashion as fossils did for the dinosaurs and reptiles. Their article is published in the April 15 issue of Molecular Cell. view more (2005-04-14)
The Max-Planck Research Prize 2003 rewards an INTAS grantee
INTAS is pleased to congratulate Prof. Klaas Bergmann who, on 26 November 2003, as well as 11 other scientists from Germany, United States, Israel and Canada, won a Max-Planck Research Prize 2003 (Max Planck Forschungspreis fuer Internationale Kooperation 2003). This prize rewards a scientist who carried out, with his co-workers at the University... view more... (2003-12-16)
New fruit fly protein illuminates circadian response to light
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a new protein required for the circadian response to light in fruit flies. view more (2006-06-30)
Gene controlling circadian rhythms may be involved in onset of bipolar disorder
Disrupt the gene that regulates the biological clocks in mice and they become manic, exhibiting behaviors similar to humans with bipolar disorder, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2007-03-20)
How Old is the Universe?
Most astronomers would agree that the age of the Universe - the time elapsed since the "Big Bang" - is one of the "holy grails of cosmology". Despite great efforts during recent years, the various estimates of this basic number have resulted in rather diverse values. When derived from current cosmological models, it depends on a number of... view more... (2001-02-06)
Interacting protein theory awaits test from new neutron analysis tools
An international collaboration directed by an Oak Ridge National Laboratory researcher has performed the first-ever atomic-detail computer simulation of how proteins vibrate in a crystal. view more (2007-09-28)
