Novel bacterial strains clear algal toxins from drinking water
Novel bacterial strains capable of neutralizing toxins produced by blue-green algae have been identified by researchers at Robert Gordon's University, Aberdeen. view more (2009-09-08)
Detecting poisons in nectar is an odour-ous task for honeybees
Though many spring flowers have bright advertisements offering sweet rewards to honeybees, some common flowers have not-so-sweet or even toxic nectars. view more (2007-04-02)
Simpler and quicker toxin detection
Several naturally occurring moulds that can grow in and on fruits such as apples, pears and grapes produce the toxic chemical Patulin, which has been shown to cause adverse effects in animals. Now scientists, collaborating with industrial partners, have developed a rapid test for Patulin, something that has eluded the fruit industry for 20 years,... view more... (2005-04-07)
Researchers develop new way to see single RNA molecules inside living cells
Biomedical engineers have developed a new type of probe that allows them to visualize single ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules within live cells more easily than existing methods. The tool will help scientists learn more about how RNA operates within living cells. view more (2009-04-07)
Protein clue to tailor-made antibiotics
Scientists at the University of York have made a huge leap forward in the search for 'smarter' antibiotics. view more (2006-08-23)
Dysport proves safe, effective anti-wrinkle treatment, UT Southwestern plastic surgeons find
The new anti-wrinkle facial filler Dysport, which could be used as an alternative to Botox, noticeably reduced frown lines between the eyes, according to users and independent reviewers in a study involving plastic surgeons at UT Southwestern Medical Center. view more (2009-08-03)
Researchers show that fibrosis can be stopped, cured and reversed
University of California, San Diego researchers have proven in animal studies that fibrosis in the liver can be not only stopped, but reversed. view more (2007-12-27)
A low-cholesterol diet leaves a bitter taste in the gut
One role for the proteins on the tongue that sense bitter tasting substances, type 2 taste receptors (T2Rs), is to limit ingestion of these substances, as a large number of natural bitter compounds are known to be toxic. view more (2008-10-10)
Of Mice and Peanuts: A new mouse model for peanut allergy
Chicago researchers report the development of a new mouse model for food allergy that mimics symptoms generated during a human allergic reaction to peanuts. view more (2009-01-13)
Same gene protects from 1 disease, opens door to another
Botanists at Oregon State University have discovered that a single plant gene can cause resistance to one disease at the same time it produces susceptibility to a different disease - the first time this unusual phenomenon has ever been observed in plants. view more (2007-08-29)
Negative effects of plastic's additive blocked by nutrient supplements
Experiments in animals have provided additional and tantalizing evidence that what a pregnant mother eats can make her offspring more susceptible to disease later in life. view more (2007-07-31)
Safe seed: Researchers yielding good results on food cotton in field
Field trials of a new cotton are verifying previous lab and greenhouse studies indicating the crop could become a source of protein for millions of malnourished people in the world. view more (2009-09-04)
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)
Evidence links cocaine abuse and Parkinson's disease
Adults who abuse cocaine might increase their risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD), and pregnant women who abuse cocaine could increase the risk of their children developing PD later in life. view more (2005-12-13)
German researchers make significant strides in identifying cause of bacterial infections
Several bacterial pathogens use toxins to manipulate human host cells, ultimately disturbing cellular signal transduction. Until now, however, scientists have been able to track down only a few of the proteins that interact with bacterial toxins in infected human cells. view more (2009-04-23)
WUSTL research finds individual cells isolated from the biological clock can keep daily time, but are unreliable
Alexis Webb enters a small room at Washington University in St. Louis with walls, floor and ceiling painted dark green, shuts the door, turns off the lights and bends over a microscope in a black box draped with black cloth. Through the microscope, she can see a single nerve cell on a glass cover slip glowing dimly. view more (2009-09-10)
Larvae shun the light
Drosophila larvae avoid light during the foraging stage of their development. Research published in the open access journal BMC Neuroscience shows that both 5-HT (serotonergic) and corazonergic neurons have a role in regulating this behavior. view more (2009-06-23)
Forget cooking"¦
There are some preferences among the consumers that establish the tendency in the development of new formulations and technologies of food preserving. Those preferences are toward food of easy and rapid preparation, less severely processed (preserving vitamins and nutrients), natural (without preservatives and other artificial additives), fresh,... view more...

Ironing out malnutrition
Two of the three keys are in place to unlock the secret to controlling and enhancing plant iron uptake. Scientists are poised to identify the final step in the process that could supply the world with iron-rich crops. Collaboration between American and French scientists has led to the identification of three key genes involved in iron uptake in... view more... (2001-04-02)
Diffuse ways to get rid of ammonia?
Ammonia is a problem. All animal cells produce it, but how do they get rid of it? New research by Dr Dirk Weihrauch (University of Illinois at Chicago) to be presented on Wednesday 2 April (session A2.2) suggests that the crab may have evolved a rather novel solution. For us mammals, the key to getting rid of waste ammonia is to detoxify it into... view more... (2003-03-26)
