Novel mechanism discovered for communication between proteins that cause 'cell suicide'
A recent study undertaken by investigators at five research centres, amongst which is the CSIC-University of the Basque Country Biophysics Unit, provides new clues for the understanding of the 'cell suicide' process. View More (2010-09-28)
UAB Researchers Draft 3-D Protein Map
A new three-dimensional computer protein map is helping researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) unravel the biological pathways that control brain-cell death after a stroke. View More (2009-06-25)
Relaxation leads to lower elasticity
Many materials, when observed over a sufficiently long period of time, show changes in their mechanical properties. The exact course of these developments depends on the underlying microscopic mechanisms. View More (2011-03-02)
Professor Claude Héle'ne will be chairing UroGene`s Scientific Advisory Board
UroGene S.A. (Evry Génopole - France), is a biopharmaceutical company specialised in the development of new drugs in the field of urological cancers (prostate, kidney, bladder). The company is announcing that Professor Claude Héle'ne has undertaken the task of chairing their Scientific Advisory Board.

Scientists discover how to improve immune response to cancer at Princess Margaret Hospital
A team of scientists at The Campbell Family Institute for Breast Cancer Research (CFIBCR) at Princess Margaret Hospital and international collaborators have discovered how to trigger an improved immune response to cancer that could be included in new clinical trials that use a patient's own cells to destroy tumours.

Osmosis is not driven by water dilution
Osmosis - the flow of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower to higher solute concentration - is a well-developed concept in physics and biophysics. View More (2013-04-05)
U of MN researchers develop mouse model for muscle disease
Researchers from the University of Minnesota have identified the importance of a gene critical to normal muscle function, resulting in a new mouse model for a poorly understood muscle disease in humans. View More (2006-09-06)
Mixing genomics and geography yields insights into life and environment
In an upcoming issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Yale researchers used newly developed mathematical models to analyze huge amounts of data on physical characteristics such as temperature and salinity in different ocean habitats and metabolic activity in marine micro-organisms.

New Target Found to Fight, Treat Parkinson's
Neuroscientists from the University at Buffalo have described for the first time how rotenone, an environmental toxin linked specifically to Parkinson's disease, selectively destroys the neurons that produce dopamine, the neurotransmitter critical to body movement and muscle control.

Cholesterol-reducing drugs may lessen brain function, says ISU researcher
Research by an Iowa State University scientist suggests that cholesterol-reducing drugs known as statins may lessen brain function. View More (2009-02-24)
Worth a thousand words: Hopkins researchers paint picture of cancer-promoting culprit
They say that a picture can be worth a thousand words. This especially is true for describing the structures of molecules that function to promote cancer. Researchers at Johns Hopkins have built a three-dimensional picture of an enzyme often mutated in many types of cancers. View More (2008-01-07)
Slowing the racing heart
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago explain in the May 11 issue of Circulation Research how an enzyme acts on the heart's pacemaker to slow the rapid beating of the heart's "fight-or-flight" reaction to adrenaline. View More (2007-05-14)
Iowa State University researchers discover structure of key Ebola protein
Research led by Iowa State University scientists has them a step closer to finding a way to counter the Ebola virus. View More (2009-01-13)
VCU Findings May Help Explain High Blood Pressure in Pregnancy
Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine researchers have discovered that the infiltration of white blood cells into an expectant mother's blood vessels may explain high blood pressure in pregnancy. View More (2011-11-01)
Thermal Portrait Of Atherosclerosis Patients
Contemporary thermal imaging equipment may be applied to medicine for diagnostics and treatment efficiency control. Russian biophysicists used a thermal imager for recording the blood supply of atherosclerosis patients' extremities prior and after the treatment by gas-transport blood substitute injections. Researches in this area by Russian biophysicists have been funded through the... View More (2004-03-12)
Optogenetic tool elucidated
Controlling nerve cells with the aid of light: this is made possible by optogenetics. View More (2012-02-29)
Enzyme may drive breast cancer growth
A recently discovered enzyme drives the production of a potent form of estrogen in human breast cancer tissue, researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have found. View More (2011-05-19)
