Fly population set to double with global warming
A leading biological scientist from the University of Southampton is warning of massive increases in the UK's fly population if temperatures continue to rise. view more (2004-09-27)
Sleeping beauties test the toxicity of the natural world
Scientists have developed a 'magic box' containing dormant organisms that can be woken up anytime and anywhere to test the toxicity of contaminated waters and soils. This new technology, called Toxkits, will be described by Professor Guido Persoone (Gent University, Belgium) and Dr. Kirit Wadhia (ALcontrol laboratories) on Monday 29th March at the... view more...

A biological technique could save up to 2 million euros at sewage treatment plants
A new method for treating the smell of rotten eggs emitted by sewage plants, developed in conjunction by a researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona's Engineering School (ETSE) and a researcher from the University of California, could lead to worldwide savings of two million euros a year. The researchers have discovered a simple... view more... (2003-07-15)
Biological FM signal maintains inflammation in cancer, asthma and other diseases
A study published in Science examines a key player in conditions such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma and has shown that cells use a sophisticated communication system to coordinate responses to infection and maintain inflammation in the body. view more (2009-04-10)
Osteoarthritis may be sign of faster 'biological ageing'
Osteoarthritis, the degenerative inflammatory bone disease, may be a sign of faster "biological ageing," suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2006-10-02)
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 for the rapid screening of pharmaceutical agents.... view more...

Study shows that genetic quality of sperm deteriorates as men age
New research indicates that the genetic quality of sperm worsens as men get older, increasing a man's risk of being infertile, fathering unsuccessful pregnancies and passing along dwarfism and possibly other genetic diseases to his children. view more (2006-06-06)
BRAIN RESEARCH REVEALS STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES IN VIOLENT OFFENDERS WITH MENTAL DISORDERS
New brain imaging data has revealed structural differences in the brains of violent offenders with mental disorders, bringing research closer to finding a biological basis for violent behaviour in the mentally ill. Preliminary findings were reported by researchers from London's Institute of Psychiatry at the International Congress on Schizophrenia... view more... (1999-04-19)
Scientists Conduct Shark Survey off U.S. East Coast
Sandbar, dusky and tiger sharks are among dozens of shark species living in the coastal waters off the U.S. East Coast. Little is known about many of the species, but a survey begun nearly 25 years ago is helping scientists and fishery resource managers to monitor shark populations and their role in marine ecosystems. view more (2009-08-14)
New Method Developed by UC San Diego Bioengineers Gives Regenerative Medicine a Boost
Bioengineers at UC San Diego have developed a breakthrough method for sequencing-based methylation profiling, which could help fuel personalized regenerative medicine and even lead to more efficient and cost-effective methods for studying certain diseases. view more (2009-04-24)
New micro instrument controls medicine flows
Research scientists at the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory in Oslo have developed a flow metre with fluid channels thinner than a strand of hair. The new device controls that patients receive the correct dosage of medicine. view more (2004-11-03)
LSU scientist finds evidence of 'rain-making' bacteria
Brent Christner, LSU professor of biological sciences, in partnership with colleagues in Montana and France, recently found evidence that rain-making bacteria are widely distributed in the atmosphere. view more (2008-02-29)
Rice ties in race for atomic-scale breakthrough
Everybody loves a race to the wire, even when the result is a tie. The great irony is the ultraprecise clocks that could result from this competition could probably break any tie. view more (2009-11-18)
Just like old times: Generating RNA molecules in water
A key question in the origin of biological molecules like RNA and DNA is how they first came together billions of years ago from simple precursors. view more (2009-11-23)
Drops in blood oxygen levels may be key to sudden death in some epilepsy patients
A new study by researchers at UC Davis Medical Center suggests that the sudden unexplained deaths of some epilepsy patients may be a result of their brains not telling their bodies to breathe during seizures. view more (2008-11-18)
Science From Space
Scientists working at the Bristol Glaciology Centre at the University of Bristol will be staying up all night to watch the lift-off of the largest and most powerful Earth observation satellite ever to be launched by the European Space Agency. The satellite, called ENVISAT, is 25 metres high, ten metres wide and weighs over eight tons. Fully... view more... (2002-02-28)
Semiconductor membrane mimics biological behavior of ion channels
A semiconductor membrane designed by researchers at the University of Illinois could offer more flexibility and better electrical performance than biological membranes. view more (2007-07-13)
Scientists discover key factor in regulating placenta and fetal growth
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have shown that a common biological protein molecule called SHP-2 is crucial for encouraging placenta growth. view more (2009-09-21)
Diabetes Risk Factors Develop Earlier in Women than Men
The "diabetes clock" may start ticking in women years in advance of a medical diagnosis of the disease, new research has shown view more (2007-02-21)
New method to directly probe the quantum collisions of individual atoms
The first demonstration of a fundamentally new method for measuring a particular quantum property of individual atoms will be described in a research paper to be published in the 19 April 2007 edition of the journal Nature. view more (2007-04-19)
