Cover of Journal shows cell infected by virus first viewed by MSU scientists
The June cover of the Journal of Virology features a photograph of the unusual effects on a cell infected by a virus. Montana State University researchers were the first to view the virus, which they collected from a boiling, acidic spring in Yellowstone. view more (2009-07-20)
Visualizing virus replication in 3 dimensions
Dengue fever is the most common infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes - some 100 million people around the world are infected. Researchers at the Hygiene Institute at Heidelberg University Hospital were the first to present a three-dimensional model of the location in the human cell where the virus is reproduced. view more (2009-05-08)
Scientific evidence of the significant anti-cancer effect of milk thistle
Recently, scientists demonstrated the anti-cancer effects of silibinin, a major biologically active compound of milk thistle. Being widely used as a folk remedy for liver diseases, milk thistle is safe and well-tolerated, and it protects the liver from drug or alcohol-related injury. view more (2007-11-15)
Can heart tissue be regenerated?
When human hearts are injured, as during a heart attack, healthy tissue normally can't regrow. Researchers now demonstrate in rats that a sponge-like patch, soaked in a compound called periostin and placed over the injury, can not only get heart cells to begin dividing and making copies of themselves again, but also improves heart function. view more (2007-07-18)
Study of placenta unexpectedly leads to cancer gene
University of Rochester Medical Center scientists discovered a gene mutation that impairs the placenta and also is influential in cancer development, according to a study published online December 16, 2008, in the journal PLoS (Public Library of Science) Biology. view more (2008-12-17)
Tumor suppressor gene in flies may provide insights for human brain tumors
In the fruit fly's developing brain, stem cells called neuroblasts normally divide to create one self-renewing neuroblast and one cell that has a different fate. But neuroblast growth can sometimes spin out of control and become a brain tumor. view more (2009-06-23)
Euro Area Business Cycle: Stylized Facts and Measurement Issues
In recent years, studies of the euro area business cycle have flourished. However, national statistics have only recently been harmonized and aggregate statistics have only been available for a short period of time. Clearly, there is a need to establish stylized facts for the euro area economies and European Monetary Union gives an opportunity to... view more... (2005-02-04)
DNA replication behavior in complex organisms may foreshadow leaps in genomic discoveries
For the first time, findings by scientists at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) may be paving the way for more efficient analyses and tests related to the replication of cells, and ultimately, to the better understanding of human biology, such as in stem cell research. view more (2007-08-16)
NOAA announces next solar storm cycle will likely start next March
The next 11-year cycle of solar storms will most likely start next March and peak in late 2011 or mid-2012-up to a year later than expected-according to a forecast issued by the NOAA Space Environment Center in coordination with an international panel of solar experts. view more (2007-04-30)
CHECKING HOW CELLS GROW: New research dismisses a widely held assumption about cell growth
Research published today in Journal of Biology challenges an assumption about cell growth that underpins modern cellular biology. Ian Conlon and Martin Raff, of University College London, show that mammalian cells do not regulate their size in the way scientists have assumed they do since the 1970s. Conlon and Raff conducted a series of... view more... (2003-04-23)
Eisai announces Phase II data on E7389, a potential new therapy for the treatment of breast cancer
Researchers today presented preliminary safety and efficacy data for E7389 in the treatment of advanced, refractory breast cancer during the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. view more (2005-12-12)
Brain memory area modifies its wiring diagram during the female cycle
Researchers at Northwestern University and Columbia University have found that "wiring" in female rat brain memory area expands and retracts in relation to the amount of estrogen present during the estrous/menstrual cycle. view more (2005-11-15)
Targeted therapy shows significant benefits over standard treatment for advanced kidney cancer
According to a new study, the drug sunitinib malate (Sutent®) is more effective than the current standard cytokine treatment given as an initial therapy for patients with advanced kidney cancer, also known as metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). view more (2006-06-05)
Women cured of childhood leukaemia should be advised to have children while they are young
Vienna, Austria: Women who have survived having leukaemia as children should receive fertility counselling because their reproductive life may be shortened even though they have an apparently normal menstrual cycle after treatment, according to Danish researchers. Dr Elisabeth Larsen, a research assistant from the Fertility Clinic at Copenhagen... view more... (2002-07-01)
Discovery suggests why stem cells run through stop signs
Everyone knows that stem cells are controversial. Many people know that stem cells can grow into virtually any cell type found in the body, from a red blood cell to a muscle cell to a brain cell. But no one really knows why stem cells continue to divide and renew themselves long after the point where other cells stop dividing. view more (2005-06-13)
A potent and selective anti-tumor agent on human gastric cancer
A research article to be published on June 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. view more (2009-06-29)
Microbe has huge role in ocean life, carbon cycle
Researchers at Oregon State University and Diversa Corporation have discovered that the smallest free-living cell known also has the smallest genome, or genetic structure, of any independent cell-and yet it dominates life in the oceans, thrives where most other cells would die, and plays a huge role in the cycling of carbon on Earth. view more (2005-08-19)
Fertilizers - a growing threat to sea life
New study on landscape around Chesapeake Bay says imbalance in nitrogen cycle is damaging water quality and fish populations. view more (2008-10-22)
Preliminary study shows promise for treatment of renal cell cancer
A new study suggests that sunitinib is a promising agent for treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer, currently a disease without highly effective treatment options. view more (2006-06-07)
Scientists take a step nearer to creating an artificial egg using a somatic cell
Scientists believe that they are an important step nearer to success in creating an artificial egg from the combination of the nucleus of a somatic cell and an oocyte which has had its DNA-carrying nucleus removed, a conference of international fertility experts heard today (Tuesday 1 July). Dr Peter Nagy, from Reproductive Biology Associates,... view more... (2003-06-28)
