Genetically engineered bacteria compute the route
US researchers have created 'bacterial computers' with the potential to solve complicated mathematics problems. view more (2009-07-24)
Launch of the first standard graphical notation for biology
Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and their colleagues in 30 labs worldwide have released a new set of standards for graphically representing biological information - the biology equivalent of the circuit diagram in electronics. view more (2009-08-12)
New £6m biocentre to revolutionise the production of safer medicines
The University of Manchester has been awarded £6m to open a new biocentre which will revolutionise the way future medicines are produced - making them safer and more effective. view more (2005-03-14)
Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology. view more (2007-04-25)
A clearer view on biology
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL] has developed a new computational tool that makes images obtained with cutting-edge microscopes even sharper. view more (2007-03-06)
College science success linked to math and same-subject preparation
Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Virginia have found that high school coursework in one of the sciences generally does not predict better college performance in other scientific disciplines. view more (2007-07-27)
New open access journal set to challenge Nature, Science and Cell
Journal of Biology (http://www.jbiol.com) is a new international journal, published by BioMed Central, which provides immediate open access to research articles of exceptional interest. It will only publish research articles of the highest standard, similar to those published by Nature, Science or Cell. While these journals restrict access to only... view more... (2002-05-17)
Synthetic biology: The next biotech revolution is brewing
The safety of early applications of synthetic biology may be adequately addressed by the existing regulatory framework for biotechnology, especially in contained laboratories and manufacturing facilities. view more (2009-03-25)
Hormone clue to root growth
Plant roots provide the crops we eat with water, nutrients and anchorage. Understanding how roots grow and how hormones control that growth is crucial to improving crop yields, which will be necessary to address food security and produce better biofuels. view more (2009-07-08)
Modelling Life
The Biochemist April 2005 issue: systems biology and mathematical modelling view more (2005-04-01)
Scientists develope a new model of artificial canine skin
Researchers at UNIVET, a spin-off of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, in cooperation with the animal nutrition company Affinity Petcare, have developed an artificial cellular model which faithfully reproduces the characteristics of dog's skin and which will allow, therefore, the carrying out of various lines of research related to... view more...

Infrastructure award for integrated approach to bioscience research
A key feature of the new infrastructure will be a centralised Technology Facility. This will provide a world class technology base to serve both the Biology Department and the Structural Biology Laboratory of the University's Department of Chemistry, and to foster synergistic and multidisciplinary approaches to research and training. Crucially,... view more... (1999-12-07)
Small RNAs can play critical roles in male infertility/contraception
University of Nevada School of Medicine scientists in the Department of Physiology and Cell Biology have discovered insight into the reproductive workings of the male sex chromosome that may have significant implications for male infertility and contraception. view more (2009-04-10)
18th Century Reverend Enlightens Evolutionary Biologists
Evolutionary biologists are often interested in reconstructing how different genes evolved from each other. Large numbers of genes can now be sequenced quickly but the development of statistical methods has lagged behind. To analyse even moderately large data sets under realistic evolutionary models, researchers have been forced to use... view more... (2001-12-20)
£25m University building open for business
Researchers were busy moving into the University of York`s new £25 million Biology Building today. The building, which will be dedicated to York`s cutting-edge biology research, gives researchers working in many different fields of biology access to the very latest scientific equipment and techniques. The investment will allow new research... view more... (2002-07-01)
Issue 1 of the new journal 'Molecular BioSystems' launched
Celebrations are underway at the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), where the first issue of the new chemical biology journal Molecular BioSystems has just been published. The electronic issue is freely available at www.molecularbiosystems.org. The new journal has particular relevance to the -omic sciences, systems biology and molecular medicine... view more...

Insect population growth likely accelerated by warmer climate
Insects have proven to be highly adaptable organisms, able through evolution to cope with a variety of environmental changes, including relatively recent changes in the world's climate. But like something out of a scary Halloween tale, new University of Washington research suggests insects' ability to adapt to warmer temperatures carries an... view more... (2006-10-31)
From delicious to death: Understanding taste
Despite the significance of taste to both human gratification and survival, a basic understanding of this primal sense is still unfolding. view more (2008-02-26)
Elastic interactions of membrane proteins
Cellular survival relies crucially on the ability to receive and communicate signals from and to the outside world. A major part of this regulation and communication is performed by proteins within the membrane of a cell. view more (2007-05-04)
Exploring the final frontier: Disease proposed as major barrier to Mars and beyond
New research published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggests that prolific virulence and growth of bacteria, coupled with reduced production of antibodies could limit future space travel. view more (2009-10-30)
