Argonne breakthrough may revolutionize ethylene production
A new environmentally friendly technology created by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory may revolutionize the production of the world's most commonly produced organic compound, ethylene. view more (2008-02-06)
Common bacteria pirate natural mechanism to get inside cells
Bacteria and viruses utilize a natural mechanism to get inside cells and grow, researchers say. view more (2006-01-26)
New findings contradict a prevailing belief about the inner ear
A healthy ear emits soft sounds in response to the sounds that travel in. Detectable with sensitive microphones, these otoacoustic emissions help doctors test newborns' hearing. A deaf ear doesn't produce these echoes. view more (2008-02-13)
New study reveals structure of E. coli multidrug transporter protein
This new study could potentially help researchers find new ways to avoid the problem of multidrug resistance and enhance the potency of existing drug compounds. view more (2006-05-05)
Biofuel cells without the bio cells
Proteins keep cells humming. Some are enzymes that taxi electrons to chemicals outside the cell, to discharge excess energy generated during metabolism. This maintains energy flow in the cell and, in turn, keeps the cell alive. view more (2006-10-18)
GEN reports on strategies to overcome blood-brain barrier
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains a major obstacle to the successful delivery of drugs to treat central nervous system (CNS) disorders, reports Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News (GEN). view more (2009-02-06)
Caltech biologists spy on the secret inner life of a cell
The transportation of antibodies from a mother to her newborn child is vital for the development of that child's nascent immune system. view more (2008-10-13)
Improving Fuel Cell Durability: Research into Better Fuel Cell Materials and Designs Starts with Studying Failures
Fuel cells can be expensive and they typically don't last as long as their internal combustion counterparts. view more (2007-11-29)
Advance in understanding cellulose synthesis
Cellulose is a fibrous molecule that makes up plant cell walls, gives plants shape and form and is a target of renewable, plant-based biofuels research. view more (2009-06-15)
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2003
The two American scientists Peter Agre, 54, and Roderick MacKinnon, 47, will receive this years Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for discoveries concerning channels in cell membranes". view more (2003-10-09)
Medical Breakthrough in Engineering and Monitoring 3-D Tissue
Researchers at Oxford University's Department of Engineering Science have recently made great lengths in both engineering and monitoring 3-dimensional tissue. Engineering tissue involves the seeding of appropriate cells into a scaffold to form a bio-construct or matrix. The Oxford team has improved this process by developing a new kind of nutrient... view more... (2003-10-13)
Could hormones explain gender differences in neurological disease?
Neurological diseases including Parkinson's, Tourette's, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer's, and schizophrenia are all associated with alterations in dopamine-driven function involving the dopamine transporter (DAT). view more (2009-06-16)
Nanotech Research Featured in Nature Nanotechnology Journal
Using an RNA-powered nanomotor, University of Cincinnati (UC) biomedical engineering researchers have successfully developed an artificial pore able to transmit nanoscale material through a membrane. view more (2009-09-29)
Gold nanorods shed light on new approach to fighting cancer
Researchers have shown how tiny "nanorods" of gold can be triggered by a laser beam to blast holes in the membranes of tumor cells, setting in motion a complex biochemical mechanism that leads to a tumor cell's self-destruction. view more (2007-10-17)
Technique used commonly in physics finds application in neuroscience
o understand how brain cells release compounds (or transmitters) used when the cells communicate with each other, Vladimir Parpura, associate professor of neuroscience, and Umar Mohideen, professor of physics at UC Riverside, devised a new technique, used commonly in physics, that can be applied now to the study of a wide range of biological... view more...

The Prestige oil spill caused changes in the cell structure of mussels
The oil spill from the Prestige petroleum oil tanker in 2002 caused serious damage to the ecosystems in the Bay of Biscay. A PhD thesis at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) has studied the consequences of this spill for the mussels inhabiting this northern coast of the Iberian peninsula. view more (2009-03-25)
HIV infection requires an accomplice: B cells with special protein direct HIV to T cells
HIV infection of T cells requires activation of a molecule on the surface of B cells, a finding that reveals yet another pathway the virus uses in its insidious attack on the immune system. view more (2006-08-14)
Stretching bone marrow stem cells pushes them towards becoming blood vessel
When stretched, a type of adult stem cell taken from bone marrow can be nudged towards becoming the type of tissue found in blood vessels, according to a new study by bioengineers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2006-10-24)
Tuning in on cellular communication in the fruit fly
In their ongoing study of the processes involved in embryonic development in fruit flies, researchers at WPI's Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center at Gateway Park have identified the function of a protein that sticks out of the embryonic cell membrane like an antenna and processes signals needed for the flies' wings to develop properly. view more (2009-02-19)
Stem cells' electric abilities might help their safe clinical use
Researchers from Johns Hopkins have discovered the presence of functional ion channels in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs). view more (2005-10-21)
