Cancer Cell Detection Technology Wins Kaye Award For Hebrew University Researchers
A unique technology for optoelectronic detection of the presence of cancer cells has been developed at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem by a team of researchers headed by Itamar Willner, Enrique Berman Professor of Solar Energy at the Institute of Chemistry. The technology detects the presence of telomerase, an active enzyme appearing in cancer... view more... (2004-06-20)
'Muscle' protein drives prostate cancer
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have for the first time implicated the muscle protein myosin VI in the development of prostate cancer and its spread. view more (2006-11-09)
Chips are down as Manchester makes protein scanning breakthrough
Scientists at The University of Manchester have developed a new and fast method for making biological 'chips' - technology that could lead to quick testing for serious diseases, fast detection of MRSA infections and rapid discovery of new drugs. view more (2008-08-25)
New technique boosts protein NMR imaging speeds
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, or SSNMR, is a valuable tool to image and analyze the chemical makeup of proteins and other biomolecules. But the imaging process is time-consuming and requires large amounts of costly isotope-labeled sample for study. view more (2009-02-10)
Random picks better than complicated process in gene identification
Researchers at Purdue University have found a way to save time, money and a little frustration in searches for specific genes that shed light on the biological processes associated with all forms of life. view more (2009-05-07)
FSU research produces images of AIDS virus that may shape vaccine
As the world marks the 25th year since the first diagnosed case of AIDS, groundbreaking research by scientists at Florida State University has produced remarkable three-dimensional images of the virus and the protein spikes on its surface that allow it to bind and fuse with human immune cells. view more (2006-05-30)
'Corrective genes' closer thanks to enzyme modification
Scientists from the Université de Montréal and McGill University have re-engineered a human enzyme, a protein that accelerates chemical reactions within the human body, to become highly resistant to harmful agents such as chemotherapy, according to a new study published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry. view more (2009-07-29)
New steroid test uses oil exploration technique
It's a technique that has previously been used for oil exploration - now researchers at The University of Nottingham have developed a new, highly sensitive, anti-doping steroid test using hydropyrolysis. view more (2008-03-05)
Research To Improve Screening For Warts Linked To Cervical Cancer Risk
Researchers are testing thousands of cervical smear samples to try and identify which types of wart viruses may lead to cancer. They will also examine the benefits of a new form of smear testing. Collaborating scientists and doctors from the University of Edinburgh, Lothian University Hospitals NHS Trust- and Lothian GPs- are creating a bank of... view more... (2002-04-24)
Turning a nuclear spotlight on illegal weapons material
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have demonstrated that they can cheaply, quickly and accurately identify even subnanogram amounts of weapon-grade plutonium and uranium. view more (2006-10-30)
For the paper trail of life on Mars or other planets, find cellulose
Looking for evidence of life on Mars or other planets? Finding cellulose microfibers would be the next best thing to a close encounter, according to new research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2008-03-31)
More than drought affecting wheat yields
Wheat producers have more than the drought cutting into their yields this year, said two Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researchers. view more (2006-06-07)
Experts lament lack of informed public debate on bioterrorism
Some misleading media reports about the threat from bioterrorism may be increasing the risk of widespread panic if an attack was to occur, a leading expert will warn at an open public meeting today (12 November). Scientists and journalists must work together to ensure that the public has an accurate understanding of the effects of biological... view more... (2001-12-11)
Cocktails ameliorate celiac disease
The University Rovira i Virgili (Spain), the company Trace Biotech AG (Braunschweig), the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM, Mainz), and seven other European partners are jointly developing a biosensor for the detection of gluten in food. The goal of the ambitious project is to manufacture a disposable microsystem with integrated... view more... (2002-11-28)
Treatment Of Residues With Wine Making
Amongst the activities involved in the making of wine is that of a number of effluents with a high organic level being produced and which generally do not respond particularly well to purification with conventional biological treatment. This type of residue, although not having toxic components, can prove environmentally problematic at times... view more... (2003-09-24)
Oxygen increase caused mammals to triumph, researchers say
The first, high resolution continuous record of oxygen concentration in the earth's atmosphere shows that a sharp rise in oxygen about 50 million years ago gave mammals the evolutionary boost they needed to dominate the planet. view more (2005-09-30)
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...

New polymer coatings prevent corrosion, even when scratched
Imagine tiny cracks in your patio table healing by themselves, or the first small scratch on your new car disappearing by itself. This and more may be possible with self-healing coatings being developed at the University of Illinois. view more (2008-12-10)
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)
