Findings reveal how dengue virus matures, becomes infectious
Biologists at Purdue University have determined why dengue virus particles undergo structural changes as they mature in host cells and how the changes are critical for enabling the virus to infect new host cells. view more (2008-03-28)
Mini-batteries for mobile phones
CIDETEC is working on a project the aim of which is to carry out a direct assessment of the technology of fuel cells for "mini" applications which have between 1 and 10 watt power requirements - such as for mobile phone or PDA chargers or for remote signalling, etc. to this end, a series of technologies are being developed in order to... view more...

What makes an axon an axon?
Inside every axon is a dendrite waiting to get out. Hedstrom et al. converted mature axons into dendrites by banishing a protein crucial for neuron development. view more (2008-11-10)
Discovery could lead to new types of Alzheimer's drugs
A ground-breaking new research approach to understanding the cellular processes of Alzheimer's and other degenerative diseases has revealed a promising pathway to the development of new types of drugs for these diseases. view more (2005-07-12)
New research helps explain genetics of Parkinson's disease
A new study by Narendra et al. suggests that Parkin, the product of the Parkinson's disease-related gene Park2, prompts neuronal survival by clearing the cell of its damaged mitochondria. view more (2008-11-24)
Researchers 'see' structure of open nicotinic acetylcholine ion channels
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is an essential chemical communicator, carrying impulses from neurons to skeletal muscle cells and many parts of the nervous system. view more (2008-04-08)
Why could prednisolone suppress the hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury?
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury is a serious complication but unavoidable problem in liver surgery including liver transplantation and hepatic resection. view more (2008-10-08)
Fusion in the fast lane
Using fast digital imaging, scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, together with researchers from Collîge de France, have succeeded in developing two different protocols by which one can initiate the fusion process in a controlled manner and observe the subsequent fusion dynamics with a... view more...

Researchers collaborate to understand phenomena controlling PEM fuel cell performance, durability
Two researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are working to understand several key phenomena that control hydrogen-fueled PEM (proton exchange membrane or polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cells. One, Ken S. Chen, is developing computational models to describe the phenomena while the other, Mike Hickner, is performing physical experimentation. view more (2006-01-27)
Team reveals molecular mechanism underlying a form of diabetes
By investigating a rare and severe form of diabetes in children, University of Iowa researchers have discovered a new molecular mechanism that regulates specialized pancreatic cells and insulin secretion. view more (2009-09-09)
Latest fuel cell material advance overcomes low humidity conductivity problem
Fuel cells have been a workable technology for decades - but expensive and lacking in infrastructure. In recent years, researchers have addressed durability, manufacturability, and conductivity challenges in alternative proton exchange membrane (PEM) materials for fuel cells - bringing the hydrogen-based energy source closer to reality. view more (2006-09-11)
Cost-saving waste water filtration
Nobody likes to find coffee grounds in their morning "brew", which is why coffee percolators are so popular. But the last drops emerge slowly from the meanwhile compacted coffee in the filter, causing the waiting sleepyhead to lose patience! The operators of sewage plants experience a similar situation to separate solids out of their brown "brew".... view more... (2001-05-15)
Features of replication suggest viruses have common themes, vulnerabilities
A study of the reproductive apparatus of a model virus is bolstering the idea that broad classes of viruses - including those that cause important human diseases such as AIDS, SARS and hepatitis C - have features in common that could eventually make them vulnerable to broad-spectrum antiviral agents. view more (2007-08-14)
Laser surgery does not appear to have long-term effects on corneal cells
Laser eye surgery to correct vision problems does not appear to be associated with lasting changes to cells lining the inside of the cornea at nine years after the procedure. view more (2009-11-10)
Weizmann Institute scientists discover a control mechanism for metastasis
Metastasis - when cancer cells dissociate from the original tumor and migrate via the blood stream to colonize distant organs - is the main cause of cancer death. view more (2007-08-08)
Together, biological membranes prevail
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a novel method to visualize the fusion of biological membranes at the single-event resolution. view more (2007-01-29)
Cucumber Versus Cucumber
Marine invertebrate called sea cucumber resembles vegetable cucumber by not only shape, but also by some metabolites. The substances produced by the animal can affect the growth of the plant. This study was conducted by Russian biochemists and supported by the RFBR. view more (2004-11-15)
New platinum-phosphate compounds kill ovarian cancer cells
A new class of compounds called phosphaplatins can effectively kill ovarian, testicular, head and neck cancer cells with potentially less toxicity than conventional drugs, according to a new study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-11-20)
Weizmann Institute scientists discover a key player in embryonic muscle development
Muscle fibers are large cells that contain many nuclei. They begin, like all animal cells, as naive embryonic cells. These cells differentiate, producing intermediate cells called myoblasts that are now destined to become muscle. view more (2007-04-12)
Study Examines Role of Helicobacter Pylori in Esophageal Cancer Development
Infection with bacteria that can cause peptic ulcers and distal stomach cancer may be associated with a reduced risk of a type of esophageal cancer called adenocarcinoma, according to a study in the March 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. However, that same study found that people infected with the bacteria, called... view more... (2004-03-03)
