Tiny roundworm's telomeres help scientists to tease apart different types of aging
The continual and inevitable shortening of telomeres, the protective "caps" at the end of all 46 human chromosomes, has been linked to aging and physical decline. view more (2005-08-08)
Father figures could prevent delinquency
Close attachment to a conventional, non-criminal father-figure may be the key to preventing 'at risk' adolescent boys turning to crime. This is the finding of research by Jenny Taylor of South London and Maudsley NHS Trust which is presented today, Wednesday 4 April, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology... view more...

Elderly women have better mental ability than men, despite less formal education
Elderly women have a better mental function than men despite their lower level of formal education, conclude Dutch researchers in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. These findings challenge the view that a limited formal education is associated with lower mental ability and suggest that biological differences between men and... view more... (2001-06-14)
MIT researchers offer glimpse of rare mutant cells
MIT biological engineers have developed a new imaging system that allows them to see cells that have undergone a specific mutation. view more (2008-07-22)
New Evidence on How our Eyes use Light to Manage our Body Clock - University of Surrey Groundbreaking Study Results
A new study published this week shows for the first time that the human eye is sensitive to short wave length visible light and transmits information to the body clock in a way that may make it possible to manipulate waking and sleeping rhythms. This new data, gained from a study carried out at the University of Surrey, might enable this type of... view more... (2001-08-20)
Argonne scientists peer into heart of compound that may detect chemical, biological weapons
A light-transmitting compound that could one day be used in high-efficiency fiber optics and in sensors to detect biological and chemical weapons at long distance almost went undiscovered by scientists because its structure was too difficult to examine. view more (2008-09-29)
Liverpool cell-imaging scientists receive £1million boost
Leading cell-imaging scientists in the School of Biological Sciences, at the University of Liverpool, have today received a boost of over £1million to carry out research that could lead to the improved detection and treatment of killer diseases such as heart disease and cancer. The research project is only one of 6 biotechnology projects in... view more... (2002-11-19)

Scientists at the University of York have uncovered the structure of an unusual enzyme which can be used to reverse the contamination of land by explosives. view more (2009-10-09)
Huygens test successful
ESA's Huygens probe, now orbiting Saturn on board the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft, is in good health and successfully passed its fifteenth 'In-Flight Checkout' on 14 September 2004. This in-flight checkout procedure was the last but one planned before separation of the Huygens probe from Cassini in December this year, and it included some... view more... (2004-09-17)
An effective target of biological therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma
It has been shown that constitutively activated STAT3 is detected in many HCC cell lines and tissues. This suggests that STAT3 is a promising molecular target for HCC gene therapy. view more (2009-06-15)
Genome fully mapped for potential biological weapon
The bacterium that causes the severe disease known as rabbit fever, Fancisella tularensis, is a potential biological weapon of devastating force. Now scientists at Ume'å, in collaboration with several international associates, have mapped the entire genome of the bacterium. Researchers at the Swedish Defense Research Agency FOI NBC Defense... view more... (2005-01-12)

Forgetting the future? Prospective memory impairments in ecstasy users
New research presented today, Wednesday 28 March, at The British Psychological Society’s Centenary Annual Conference, held at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow, now shows that ecstasy use can lead to impairments in ‘prospective memory’. This is the part of memory to do with remembering things ones has to do... view more... (2001-03-26)
Professor Eero Vuorio to chair the EMBL Council
Professor Eero Vuorio has been elected to chair the Council of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in 2003. His predecessor Professor Peter Gruss has assumed office as President of the Max-Planck Society. Professor Vuorio is Professor in Molecular Biology at the University of Turku, Finland, and Chair of the Research Council for... view more... (2002-11-29)
Adopted children in Cameroon compensate for male power
One in three children in East Cameroon do not live with their own mothers but with an adoptive aunt. As a result of this the adoptive aunt acquires a stronger position with respect to her husband and his family. This is the finding of Dr Catrien Notermans from the University of Nijmegen. In the age group 10 to 14 years, at least 1 in 3 children in... view more... (2002-05-23)

Landing on Titan: The new movies
Scientists at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL) have made two new movies of the Huygens probe's landing on Saturn's giant moon, Titan, on Jan. 14, 2005. view more (2006-05-05)
Electrical circuit runs entirely off power in trees
You've heard about flower power. What about tree power? It turns out that it's there, in small but measurable quantities. There's enough power in trees for University of Washington researchers to run an electronic circuit. view more (2009-09-09)
