Community MRSA is re-emergence of 1950s pandemic, study suggests
An early type of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that caused a global epidemic of infections in the 1950s has re-emerged as one of the community-acquired MRSA 'superbugs', according to a study published in this weeks issue of The Lancet.   view more (2005-03-31)

New gene for dyslexia located
No gene for dyslexia has been isolated until now, although scientists have long suspected a genetic basis for the disorder and have even roughly mapped the region of the brain likely to be involved. The researchers anticipate that they will now be able to clone the genetic sequence and so gain... view more (1999-09-02)

All Hajj pilgrims should get meningitis jab
Seventeen per cent of those returning from the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina (Hajj) are carrying meningococcal bacteria, finds a study in this week's BMJ. As such, vaccination should become mandatory for all Hajj pilgrims, and should also be considered for their families, say the... view more (2002-08-14)

Xantos Biomedicine AG, a leading functional biology and drug discovery company, announced that it has expanded its collection of full-length human cDNA clones in mammalian expression vectors to 35,000, representing one of the world's largest collections. The... view more (2003-11-18)

Researchers discover key mechanism to emergence of deadly strep bacteria
The incidence of serious strep infections has risen dramatically in the last three decades, and this increase is largely attributed to the spread around the globe of a single strain of strep known as the invasive M1T1 clone.   view more (2007-07-16)

Researchers identify a worldwide-distributed clone of bacteria responsible for Legionnaire's disease
A study published online today in Genome Research describes new insights into Legionella pneumophila, the bacteria responsible for most cases of Legionnaires' disease.   view more (2008-02-06)

Trapping white blood cells proves novel strategy against chronic viral infections
Seeing disease-fighting white blood cells vanish from the blood usually signals a weakened immune system. But preventing white blood cells' circulation by trapping them in the lymph nodes can help mice get rid of a chronic viral infection, researchers at Yerkes National Primate Research Center and... view more (2008-08-14)

UK's MRSA problem is in the genes - Microbiology Today: February 2005 issue
Britain's MRSA epidemic may be due to the emergence of highly transmissible clones of the superbug, according to an article in the February 2005 issue of Microbiology Today, the quarterly magazine of the Society for General Microbiology.   view more (2005-02-09)

OHSU Cancer Institute research discovery opens new window to understanding chronic myeloid leukemia
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have opened a new window into the roots of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).   view more (2007-12-10)

Novel antigen-cloning technique may boost efforts to develop a melanoma vaccine
In recent years, researchers have worked to develop a number of vaccines to help the immune system fight tumors. Cancer vaccines are not intended to prevent cancer; rather, they are used to boost immune responses to preexisting tumors.   view more (2007-04-16)

Researchers identify cells that make relapse inevitable in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
In "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" Robert Louis Stevenson wrote about the good and evil sides of the same person; now scientists in Australia have discovered that in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) there are Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde cells - "good" and "evil" clones of the... view more (2006-11-09)

The Dana Centre Launches 2004 Programme
From breast implants to live heart surgery, cloning to Edinburgh-Fringe-style stand-up's - The Dana Centre is the only place in the UK where the public can meet with top scientists and discuss the issues that matter.

Discovery of the genetic basis of two diseases
In a first article, Loeys et al describe a new aortic aneurysm syndrome characterized by the main triad of hypertelorism, bifid uvula and/or cleft palate and aortic aneurysms with arterial tortuosity. This new entity also presents with alterations of the skeletal, craniofacial, neurocognitve... view more (2005-03-17)

Irresponsible use of fertility techniques will jeopardise the future of reproductive medicine warns new ESHRE president
Lausanne, Switzerland: The new president of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology has warned that the future of reproductive medicine and the hopes of infertile couples could be put in jeopardy by the abusive use of fertility techniques. Professor Hans Evers from Academisch... view more (2001-07-04)

Scientists clone mice from adult skin stem cells
For cells that hold so much promise, stem cells' potential has so far gone largely untapped. But new research from Rockefeller University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists now shows that adult stem cells taken from skin can be used to clone mice using a procedure called nuclear... view more (2007-02-13)

Cloned stem cells prove identical to fertilized stem cells
Scientists generally agree that all cloned animals are biologically flawed. But they don't agree about what that means for stem cells derived from cloned embryos, the basis for therapeutic cloning.   view more (2006-01-17)

Biosensor sniffs out explosives
Temple University School of Medicine researchers have developed a new biosensor that sniffs out explosives and could one day be used to detect landmines and deadly agents, such as sarin gas, according to a paper in the June issue of Nature Chemical Biology.   view more (2007-05-09)

Mice cloned from skin cells
Healthy and viable mice that survive until adulthood have, for the first time, been cloned from adult stem cells. Scientists from Rockefeller University, including Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Elaine Fuchs, used cells called keratinocyte stem cells, which represent a new model... view more (2007-02-13)

A reduced arousal threshold in Drosophila mutants prevents them from staying asleep
Most short-sleeping mutant phenotypes in Drosophila (a genus of small flies) are characterized by an inability to stay asleep, most likely because of a reduced arousal threshold, according to a study published in the April 1 issue of the journal SLEEP.   view more (2008-04-01)
