Protein changes in heart strengthen link between Alzheimer's disease and chronic heart failure
A team of U.S., Canadian and Italian scientists led by researchers at Johns Hopkins report evidence from studies in animals and humans supporting a link between Alzheimer's disease and chronic heart failure, two of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States. view more (2009-11-16)
Seventeen per cent of veterans believe they have Gulf war syndrome
Seventeen per cent of Gulf war veterans believe they have Gulf war syndrome, find researchers in this week's BMJ. The study has implications for future health protection programmes intended to protect against the threat of chemical and biological warfare. Questionnaires were sent to a large random sample of British service personnel who served in... view more... (2001-08-29)
Microgrid Allows Simultaneous Study of Multiple Variables
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a method for correlating the results of microscopic imaging techniques in a way that could lead to improved understanding, diagnosis, and possibly treatment of a variety of disease conditions, including Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-10-11)
New ORNL process brings nanoparticles into focus
Scientists can study the biological impacts of engineered nanomaterials on cells within the body with greater resolution than ever because of a procedure developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. view more (2008-06-24)
Radioactive plutonium remains from US military accident in Spain
Researchers from the Physics Department and the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA) of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have detected concentrations of radioactive plutonium and americium in plankton from the coast of Palomares (south-east coast of Spain), with an activity level five times higher than the average... view more...

Largest-ever database for liver proteins may lead to treatments for hepatitis
Scientists at a group of 11 research centers in China are reporting for the first time assembly of the largest-ever collection of data about the proteins produced by genes in a single human organ. view more (2009-11-12)
Helping to finger fraud
Researchers at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC) have been working with a group of more than two hundred volunteers from among the general public to develop better ways to tackle credit card fraud. Working with partners across Europe, Professor Mike Fairhurst and Dr Farzin Deravi, from UKC`s Electronics Department, are currently... view more... (2002-05-02)
Clumps of red and white blood cells may contribute to sickle cell disease
It's long been known that patients with sickle cell disease have malformed, "sickle-shaped" red blood cells - which are normally disc-shaped - that can cause sudden painful episodes when they block small blood vessels. view more (2008-04-29)
Stress, hormones, and UN soldiers
It is possible to measure levels of the stress hormone cortisol not only in blood but also in saliva. Linköping physician Elisabeth Aardal-Eriksson has further developed a saliva test to make it reliable and easy to use, not only in hospitals but also in the field. The findings are presented in a dissertation at Linköping University,... view more... (2002-02-22)
Truly sick or simply scared?
Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered a way to increase the sensitivity of test strips that will enable creation of a portable biosensor that can address a major concern associated with incidents involving chemical or nerve agents - the need to quickly distinguish between individuals who have been exposed and the... view more...

Integrating restoration and conservation within the ecosystem approach
The Society for Ecological Restoration International (SER) released its May 2008 Briefing Note on the "Opportunities for Integrating Ecological Restoration & Biological Conservation within the Ecosystem Approach" at the Convention on Biological Diversity's Ninth Conference of the Parties held in Bonn, Germany, May 19-30, 2008. view more (2008-05-19)
Financial risk-taking behavior is associated with higher testosterone levels
Higher levels of testosterone are correlated with financial risk-taking behavior, according to a new study in which men's testosterone levels were assessed before participation in an investment game. The findings help to shed light on the evolutionary function and biological origins of risk taking. view more (2008-09-30)
Remote sheep population resists genetic drift
A whimsical attempt to establish a herd of mouflon for sport hunting on a remote island in the Indian Ocean 50 years ago has inadvertently created a laboratory for genetic researchers and led to a surprising discovery. view more (2007-03-12)
Nature's ambush: new research shows pregnancy more likely from single act of unprotected intercourse than previously believed
US research published today (Thursday 10 June) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1] suggests that a single act of unprotected intercourse is more likely to lead to an unwanted pregnancy than was previously believed. In a study on women who had either been sterilised or were using an intrauterine device (IUD) the... view more... (2004-06-08)

A biomolecular console
In the future, could molecules in complex biotechnological processes be programmed like today's semiconductor microelectronic circuits? To find out, researchers are currently studying the interaction between biological and electrical information. Insights and applications from the field of electronic microfluidics are bringing the reality of... view more... (2003-03-17)
Gas from the past gives scientists new insights into climate and the oceans
In recent years, public discussion of climate change has included concerns that increased levels of carbon dioxide will contribute to global warming, which in turn may change the circulation in the earth's oceans, with potentially disastrous consequences. view more (2008-10-06)
Argonne scientists develop techniques for creating molecular movies
They may never win an Oscar, but scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed techniques for creating accurate movies of biological and chemical molecules, a feat only theorized up until now. view more (2008-04-16)
