Nottingham project to improve treatment for patients with incurable blood disease
The new Sickle Cell Anaemia Detector research project, being launched today by MP Paul Boateng, has been funded with a £237,000 grant from the Big Lottery Fund - £112,000 of which will be coming to Nottingham - and involves partners at Imperial College and the Sickle Cell Society. view more (2005-04-01)
Titan's pebbles 'seen' by Huygens radio
An unexpected radio reflection from the surface of Titan has allowed ESA scientists to deduce the average size of stones and pebbles close to the Huygens' landing site. The technique could be used on other lander missions to analyse planetary surfaces for free. view more (2006-07-26)
Sandia researchers develop unique 'surfactant' material
A unique class of materials developed by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, Calif., may prove useful in textile manufacturing, biomedical diagnostics, and other applications requiring the modification of surface properties of liquids or solids. view more (2005-06-08)
Breakthrough in combating the growing risk from E.coli food poisoning
Certain pathogenic strains of the E. coli bacteria appear to harpoon themselves into intestine lining cells in order to colonise large sections of the gut, say scientists at Imperial College in London. The researchers, reporting the breakthrough in the new edition of BBSRC Business today, hope that by understanding how the bacteria latches onto... view more... (2001-04-05)
Newly appreciated membrane estrogen receptor important therapeutic target for breast cancer
New research at Rhode Island Hospital has uncovered the biological effects of a novel membrane estrogen receptor, a finding that has potential implications for hormonal therapy for breast cancer. view more (2009-07-02)
Unfolded proteins may protect cells from dying
When cells get stressed, their proteins go unfolded. It's a reaction with a straightforward name: the unfolded protein response. Now, new research from Rockefeller University shows that this phenomenon actually serves a protective role; rather than a sign that the cell has given up, it may be a mechanism by which the cells cope with adversity. view more (2006-12-27)
Proteins that stop a major signaling pathway can also generate new proteins
Duke University Medical Center researchers have recently discovered that a crucial communications pathway in cells not only stops cells from making proteins, it also makes them go. view more (2008-04-25)
Cystic fibrosis research could benefit from multi-functional sensing tool
Researchers are using an innovative, multi-functional sensing tool to investigate adenosine triposphate (ATP) release and its role in cystic fibrosis. view more (2006-03-27)
Geologists use biotools to understand geosystems
Geologists are now becoming microbiologists in order to discover how biosystems affect geosystems. view more (2005-10-12)
Scientists Recreate Martian Environment
Scientists at the University of Leicester's Space Research Centre are recreating the hostile environment found on Mars in their laboratory, with a device known as the Martian Environment Simulator (MES). The machine reproduces the temperature, air pressure and unbreathable atmosphere known to exist on Mars. The MES is currently being used to test... view more... (2002-05-31)
Human factors researchers help to avoid runway incursions and errors
Major airports around the country will be safer after they implement a new Federal Aviation Administration standard to help prevent runway incursions, which the FAA defines as "any occurrence on an airport runway . . . that creates a collision hazard . . ." view more (2006-09-27)
New efficiency record for solar cells
The efficiency improvement is achieved by the use of an ultra-thin aluminum oxide layer at the front of the cell, and it brings a breakthrough in the use of solar energy a step closer. view more (2008-05-15)
Oxygen triggered the evolution of complex life forms
Oxygen played a key role in the evolution of complex organisms, according to new research published in BMC Evolutionary Biology. The study shows that the complexity of life forms increased earlier than was thought, and in parallel with the availability of oxygen as an energy source. In the largest study to date that does not focus on vertebrates,... view more... (2004-01-22)
Researchers find new way to block destructive rush of immune cells
Researchers have found a way to selectively block the ability of white blood cells to "crawl" toward the sites of injury and infection when such mobility drives disease, according to a study published today in The Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2008-01-14)
Methane doesn't necessarily mean life on Mars, says Dartmouth study
Two Dartmouth researchers have weighed in on the debate over whether the presence of methane gas on Mars indicates life on the red planet. Mukul Sharma, Assistant Professor of Earth Sciences, and Chris Oze, a postdoctoral fellow, argue that the Martian methane could have been produced by inorganic processes just as easily as by bacteria. view more (2005-06-08)
Iowa State scientists demonstrate first use of nanotechnology to enter plant cells
A team of Iowa State University plant scientists and materials chemists have successfully used nanotechnology to penetrate plant cell walls and simultaneously deliver a gene and a chemical that triggers its expression with controlled precision. view more (2007-05-17)
Genes found to play a role in breast cancer's spread to the brain
New research led by investigators at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) identifies three genes that specifically mediate the metastasis, or spread, of breast cancer to the brain and illuminates the mechanisms by which this spread occurs. The study was published online today in Nature. view more (2009-05-07)
Scientists discover how body fights to control spread of cancer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how two molecules fight in the blood to control the spread of cancer cells. view more (2007-01-09)
ESA's 'shipping forecast' - from Titan!
ESA could be releasing its own marine weather report next January - but not for any Earthly ocean. Thanks to the NASA/ESA Cassini/Huygens mission, the first data about an extraterrestrial ocean may finally be received, ending 25 years of scientific speculation. There is a growing body of evidence that at least part of Titan's surface is covered... view more... (2004-04-02)
Med school discovery could lead to better cancer diagnosis, drugs
A Florida State University College of Medicine research team led by Yanchang Wang has discovered an important new layer of regulation in the cell division cycle, which could lead to a greater understanding of the way cancer begins. view more (2008-11-24)
