World's rarest big cat gets a check-up
The world's rarest big cat is alive and well. At least one of them, that is, according to researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) who captured and released a female Far Eastern leopard in Russia last week. view more (2008-10-31)
New reference materials support industrial zeolites
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued three new reference materials to support researchers studying the properties of commercially important zeolites. view more (2006-09-18)
Jungle yeast
A new species of yeast has been discovered deep in the Amazon jungle. In a paper published on-line in FEMS Yeast Research, IFR scientists and colleagues from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador describe the novel characteristics of Candida carvajalis sp. nov. view more (2009-05-21)
Male sabertoothed cats were pussycats compared to macho lions
Despite their fearsome fangs, male sabertoothed cats may have been less aggressive than many of their feline cousins, says a new study of male-female size differences in extinct big cats. view more (2009-11-06)
Systems biology approach identifies nutrient regulation of biological clock in plants
Using a systems biological analysis of genome-scale data from the model plant Arabidopsis, an international team of researchers identified that the master gene controlling the biological clock is sensitive to nutrient status. view more (2008-03-17)
MRI/PET Scanner Combo
Two kinds of body imaging -- positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) -- have been combined for the first time in a single scanner. view more (2008-03-10)
Study by Children's Hospital and Carnegie Mellon explains crucial deficit in children with autism
Young children with autism appear to be delayed in their ability to categorize objects and, in particular, to distinguish between living and nonliving things. view more (2006-10-12)
One shot of gene therapy spreads through brain in animal study
By targeting a site in a mouse brain well connected to other areas, researchers successfully delivered a beneficial gene to the entire brain-after one injection of gene therapy. If these results in animals can be realized in people, researchers may have a potential method for gene therapy to treat a host of rare but devastating congenital human... view more... (2007-10-09)
Dog owners more likely to share germs with pets by not washing hands than by sleeping with dog
Dog owners who sleep with their pet or permit licks on the face are in good company. Surveys show that more than half of owners bond with their pets in these ways. view more (2009-01-28)
Computer aid ensures speedy, high-quality translations
With 20 official languages and dozens more unofficial ones there is an immense and expanding need for translations in the European Union. Increasing translators' productivity is the goal of TransType2, an innovative computer-aided system that allows rapid and efficient high quality translations. view more (2005-01-12)
Successful cell engineering may lead to mad cow prevention, say researchers
Researchers at Texas A&M University have successfully "knocked down" the expression of possible disease-causing genes in a cloned goat fetus, perhaps paving the way for breeding disease resistance in other animals, even those genes that might cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as Mad Cow Disease. view more (2006-03-23)
Discovery is a step towards pollution-free cars
Scientists have made a world-first discovery which is a step towards using environmentally-friendly hydrogen to power our cars. view more (2004-10-13)
Cats' Eye Diseases Genetically Linked to Diseases in Humans
About one in 3,500 people are affected with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a disease of the retina's visual cells that eventually leads to blindness. Now, a University of Missouri researcher has identified a genetic link between cats and humans for two different forms of RP. This discovery will help scientists develop gene-based therapies that will... view more... (2009-03-05)
Diversity of trees in Ecuador's Amazon rainforest defies simple explanation
Trees in a hyper-diverse tropical rainforest interact with each other and their environment to create and maintain diversity, researchers report in the Oct. 24 issue of the journal Science. view more (2008-10-24)
Study links low-frequency hearing to shape of the cochlea
Shape matters, even in hearing. Specifically, it is the shape of the cochlea - the snail-shell-shaped organ in the inner ear that converts sound waves into nerve impulses that the brain deciphers - which proves to be surprisingly important. view more (2008-04-28)
Further Evidence Of Increase In Allergic Disease In Western Countries (p 691)
Danish authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide further evidence which suggests that allergic diseases are becoming increasingly common in western populations. Allergic diseases are thought to be increasingly common in more-developed countries, but few studies have measured the frequency of atopy with objective... view more... (2002-08-28)
Medimmune announces phase 2 safety data for anti-RSV antibody and national RSV surveillance results
MedImmune, Inc. today announced results from two important studies presented at the 2007 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) 45th Annual Meeting adding to the body of knowledge about respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). view more (2007-10-05)
Toxoplasmosis infection trick revealed by scientists
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease, primarily carried by cats. It is transmitted to humans by eating undercooked meat or through contact with cat faeces. view more (2007-05-11)
Owners should count calories for obese pets, consider several factors for good health
ou might watch your daily calorie intake or glance over nutritional information on food packages, but do you do the same for your pet? view more (2009-10-09)
