Biology could be the root of bother
Better understanding of the biological and cognitive bases of disruptive behaviour in children will help psychologists determine which types of treatments are most likely to be effective. view more (2005-03-21)
Fitting in: Newly evolved genes adopt a variety of strategies to remain in the gene pool
When Mother Nature creates an identical copy of a gene in an organism's genome, the duplicated copy is usually deleted, inactivated, or otherwise rendered nonfunctional in order to prevent genetic redundancy and to preserve biological homeostasis. view more (2005-10-03)
Europe's largest climate change experiment launched
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have launched a large scale experiment to monitor the impact of climate change on freshwater systems. view more (2006-01-18)
Molecules in glass houses
Trapping biological molecules such as proteins and enzymes or even whole cells in rigid structures make them easier to use for a whole range of industrial and medical applications. But combining fragile biological molecules with tough materials is difficult to do without damaging the molecules and destroying their biological activity. As well as... view more... (2001-08-01)
UNIVERSITY SPIDER MAN CHARTS REGION`S SPECIES
A University of Plymouth lecturer has helped to compile a two-volume atlas detailing the biology, habitat and conservation of over 600 species of British spider. Peter Smithers of the Department of Biological Sciences has spent the last 20 years gathering information in Devon and Cornwall as part of the nationwide project, which was initiated in... view more...

Treating SSRI-Resistant Depression
When your antidepressant medication does not work, should you switch to a different medication from the same class or should you try an antidepressant medication that has a different mechanism of action? This is the question asked by researchers in a new report scheduled for publication in Biological Psychiatry on April 1st. view more (2008-03-26)
New system of wastewater treatment could reduce the size of treatment plants by half
A group of researchers from the University of Granada (Universidad de Granada) have come up with a wastewater treatment system which has three clear advantages with respect to systems currently used: it is possible to obtain cheaper water of a higher quality, it considerably reduces the size of treatment plants (by more than half) and it minimizes... view more...

A global model for the origin of species independent of geographical isolation
The tremendous diversity of life continues to puzzle scientists, long after the 200 years since Charles Darwin's birth. view more (2009-07-20)
Synergy between biology and physics drives cell-imaging technology
Developing techniques to image the complex biological systems found at the sub-cellular level has traditionally been hampered by divisions between the academic fields of biology and physics. However, a new interdisciplinary zeal has seen a number of exciting advances in super-resolution imaging technologies. view more (2008-06-02)
Researchers To Reveal Aging's Origins on Global Stage
Four of the biologists who described the underlying causes of aging will soon share their findings with an international audience during a symposium at the upcoming World Congress of Gerontology and Geriatrics. view more (2009-06-24)
On-Line System Propels Learning
Cranfield University’s Department of Process and Systems Engineering and Department of Power Engineering and Propulsion have developed a new web-based learning system to support postgraduate and short course programmes. The ‘on-line course companion’ is intended to provide additional support to part-time students who are studying... view more... (2001-02-19)
Digital Communication Technology Helps Clear Path to Personalized Therapies
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have shown that search algorithms used in digital communications can help scientists identify effective multi-drug combinations. view more (2009-01-12)
Shaping health-systems research for the developing world (997)
The Ministerial Summit on Health Research (November 16-20, 2004, Mexico City), convened by WHO, will focus on health-policy development, health-systems research, knowledge dissemination, and promoting the use of findings by decision makers. view more (2004-09-08)
Tiny avalanche photodiodes target bioterrorism agents
After the anthrax attacks in the United States in 2001 the threat of a larger and more deadly bioterrorism attack - perhaps from smallpox, plague or tularemia - became very real. But the ability to detect such biological agents and rapidly contain an attack is still being developed. view more (2005-09-14)
Modelling Life

Microscopes at microscopic size
Traditionally if scientists wanted to look at something small they would put a sample under a microscope but now researchers have managed to shrink the microscope itself to the size of a single human cell. An interdisciplinary research team, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC) and the Engineering and... view more... (2005-04-07)
Work with power grids leads to cell biology discovery
Gene therapy, in which a working gene is inserted into a cell to replace a faulty or absent gene, is a promising experimental technique for the prevention and treatment of disease. view more (2008-03-18)
Genomic sequences processed in minutes, rather than weeks
A new computational tool developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is speeding up our understanding of the machinery of life - bringing us one step closer to curing diseases, finding safer ways to clean the environment and protecting the country against biological threats. view more (2005-06-22)
Systems biology brings hope of speeding up drug development
Almost every day brings news of an apparent breakthrough against cancer, infectious diseases, or metabolic conditions like diabetes, but these rarely translate into effective therapies or drugs, and even if they do clinical development usually takes well over a decade. view more (2008-11-20)
New cell-based sensors sniff out danger like bloodhounds
A small, unmanned vehicle makes its way down the road ahead of a military convoy. Suddenly it stops and relays a warning to the convoy commander. The presence of a deadly improvised explosive device, or IED, has been detected by sophisticated new sensor technology incorporating living olfactory cells on microchips mounted on the unmanned vehicle.... view more...
