Prof probes impact of post 9/11 surveillance
Immediately after the 9/11 Al-Qeada terrorist attacks, government officials in both the U.S. and Canada were quick to pass legislation to increase surveillance of their citizens. view more (2005-09-14)
Enhanced skin cancer risk linked to defects in cellular aging controls
Cell lifespan is limited by telomeres, DNA sequences that cap chromosomes and control the number of times a cell may be copied. A new study reported in Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), dmm.biologists.org, describes how telomere dysfunction in skin cells can lead to increased skin cancer risk and pigmentation. view more (2009-02-23)
Protein helps cells duplicate correctly, avoid becoming cancer
A Purdue University researcher has discovered that the absence of certain proteins needed for proper cell duplication can lead to cancer. view more (2009-10-06)
A pain in the neck
The world record for fastest text message typing is held by a 21-year old college student from Utah, but his dexterous digits could mean serious injury later on. view more (2009-11-11)
Antarctic Ice Cores - 2002 metres deep as the year 2002 arrives
In the first week of the New Year a team of European scientists reached successfully the depth of 2002 metres of ice at the site of Dome Concordia high on East Antarctica's plateau - one of the most hostile places on the planet. The team, working on a seven-year Antarctic ice core programme to discover the history of the Earth's climate and... view more... (2002-01-15)

Presidential primary 2008 polls: What went wrong
University of Michigan survey experts working with the American Association for Public Opinion Research have identified several reasons polls picked the wrong winners in the 2008 Presidential Primary. view more (2009-03-31)
ETH Zurich: Fast and Cheap Detection of Bacteria
Carbohydrates displayed on the surface of cells play critical roles in cell-cell recognition, adhesion, signaling between cells, and as markers for disease progression. Neural cells for instance use carbohydrates to facilitate development and regeneration and viruses recognize carbohydrates to gain entry into host cells. Identification of the... view more...

SLU scientists have identified the first gene regulating programmed cell death in plant embryos
A research team at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU, has succeeded in isolating a novel gene that regulates cell death in plant embryos. This is a world first. The team consists of scientists from the Department of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics, headed by Peter Bozhkov and Sara von Arnold. The team has discovered... view more... (2004-06-01)
No cell walls, no new cancer cells
Cancer cells, like houses, need building materials for their walls. And as with a house, the cell wall needs to be built at just the right moment to protect and allow the construction of internal components. view more (2006-08-02)
Cell phone sensors detect radiation to thwart nuclear terrorism
Researchers at Purdue University are working with the state of Indiana to develop a system that would use a network of cell phones to detect and track radiation to help prevent terrorist attacks with radiological "dirty bombs" and nuclear weapons. view more (2008-01-23)
Why you remember names and ski slopes
When you meet your boss's husband, Harvey, at the office holiday party, then bump into him an hour later over the onion dip, will you remember his name? view more (2007-11-26)
Pass the popcorn! Study finds that film enjoyment is contagious
Loud commentary and cell phone fumbling may be distracting, but new research from the Journal of Consumer Research suggests that the presence of other people may enhance our movie-watching experiences. view more (2007-12-05)
Heart attack in a laboratory dish
NWO researchers at Utrecht University have given heart muscle cells a heart attack in the laboratory. This allowed them to observe clearly the change that takes place in the cell membrane during an attack and how the change sometimes leads to the death of the cell. In a healthy cell, one of the components of the membrane, the phospholipids, are... view more... (2001-05-08)
Faults in newly discovered breast stem cells may lead to tumours
Victorian Breast Cancer Research Consortium scientists from The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, using a mouse model, have discovered the rare stem cell that drives the formation of all breast tissue. view more (2006-01-05)
PINK1 protects from Parkinson's
Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by the selective loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. view more (2007-06-19)
A tumor suppressor that promotes cancer cell growth?
Researchers have shown that the tumor suppressor gene H-REV107-1 may actually stimulate tumor progression in some non-small cell lung carcinomas. view more (2006-10-09)
New way to make stem cells avoids risk of cancer
A team of scientists has advanced stem cell research by finding a way to endow human skin cells with embryonic stem cell-like properties without inserting potentially problematic new genes into their DNA. view more (2009-03-27)
LaughLab - the final results are in!
The world's largest experiment into humour has finally ended. For more than a year, people in over 70 countries have submitted their best jokes and rated the jokes sent in by others. The experiment (hosted at www.laughlab.co.uk) captured the world's imagination, receiving more than 40,000 jokes and nearly 2 million ratings. In December 2001, our... view more... (2002-10-02)
