Swedes in favor of genetic engineering but against spread of genetic information
Swedes are becoming more and more favorably inclined toward genetic engineering. Two out of three Swedes now accept genetic engineering. This makes Swedes the people with the most favorable views in the EU. This has been demonstrated in a European research project in which three researchers from Mid Sweden University have participated, based on interviews with 1,000 Swedes regarding their views...

MU scientists convert pigs' connective tissue cells into stem cells
For years, proponents have touted the benefits of embryonic stem cell research, but the potential therapies still face hurdles. View More (2009-06-26)
Scientists take a step nearer to creating an artificial egg using a somatic cell
Scientists believe that they are an important step nearer to success in creating an artificial egg from the combination of the nucleus of a somatic cell and an oocyte which has had its DNA-carrying nucleus removed, a conference of international fertility experts heard today (Tuesday 1 July). Dr Peter Nagy, from Reproductive Biology Associates, Atlanta, collaborating with the University of... View More (2003-06-28)
Cancer scientists discover new way breast cancer cells adapt to environmental stress
An international research team led by Dr. Tak Mak, Director, The Campbell Family Institute for Breast Cancer Research at Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH), has discovered a new aspect of "metabolic transformation", the process whereby tumour cells adapt and survive under conditions that would kill normal cells.

Basic research into Parkinson's
Parkinson's disease was first described in 1817 by the London physician James Parkinson. A great amount of research has been carried out since that time but the fundamental causes of the disease remain unresolved. Some time ago now researchers found that a neurotransmitter, dopamine, played a key role in this illness. This is why the majority of treatments used today to counter Parkinson's...

Scientists solve mystery of polyketide drug formation
Many top-selling drugs used to treat cancer and lower cholesterol are made from organic compounds called polyketides, which are found in nature but historically difficult for chemists to alter and reproduce in large quantities. View More (2008-04-02)
Egg donation for stem cell research — balancing the risks and benefits
In the wake of the scandal involving fraudulent cloning research, concerns about the welfare of women donating eggs for research purposes have arisen. View More (2006-06-20)
Small mechanical forces have big impact on embryonic stem cells
Applying a small mechanical force to embryonic stem cells could be a new way of coaxing them into a specific direction of differentiation, researchers at the University of Illinois report. Applications for force-directed cell differentiation include therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine. View More (2009-10-19)
SPECIFIC GENE MUTATION LINKED TO CROHN'S DISEASE (pp 1902, 1925)
Genetic susceptibility to Crohn's disease is likely to be the result of an insertion mutation into a specific gene on chromosome 16, conclude authors of a fast-track study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. In 1996, genetic linkage of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to chromosome 16 was established. The recently identified NOD2 gene is a possible candidate since it is located in the...

Quantum computers will require complex software to manage errors
Highlighting another challenge to the development of quantum computers, theorists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have shown* that a type of software operation, proposed as a solution to fundamental problems with the computers' hardware, will not function as some designers had hoped.

University of Illinois researchers discover potential new virus in switchgrass
University of Illinois researchers have confirmed the first report of a potential new virus belonging to the genus Marafivirus in switchgrass, a biomass crop being evaluated for commercial cellulosic ethanol production. View More (2010-11-04)
First calves from gene diagnosed embryos born at MTT Agrifood Research Finland
Results from quantitative trait gene mapping (QTL) have been utilised for the first time in the selection of bovine embryos. The genotypes of two genes affecting milk yield and composition have been analysed from pre-implantation embryo biopsies. The first four female calves with known milk production genotypes were recently born at the experimental herd of MTT Agrifood Research Finland,... View More (2003-08-14)
Research News From BBSRC
* New approach to selective killing of tumour cells A new protein-based system offers a potential strategy for molecular cancer therapy without the need for viral or DNA vectors. It uses natural peptides, capable of transporting material through membranes, and a viral protein that induces cancer cells to kill themselves.

EMBO supports researchers from emerging economies
The first fellows benefiting from the European Molecular Biology Organization's (EMBO) new World Programme fellowship scheme will start their work in their guest laboratories from now on. The four selected researchers come from Bangladesh, Brazil, Cuba and India and will visit German or Israeli laboratories for six or nine months: * Miah Bari (Bangladesh) will visit the Institute for Biology,...

Discovery Predicts Patient Sensitivity to Important Drug Target in Deadly Brain Cancer
A recent discovery by Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) scientists enables the prediction of patient sensitivity to proposed drug therapies for glioblastoma - the most common and most aggressive malignant brain tumor in humans. View More (2012-02-07)
Group led by UCLA Engineering devises new method for securing location-sensitive data
A research group led by computer scientists at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science has proved that cryptography - the practice and study of hiding information - that is based solely on physical location is possible by using quantum mechanics. View More (2010-07-27)
University of Missouri researcher study provides insight into how corn makes hormones

Philosophers Look To Bentham's Individualism To Promote Philosophy In The UK
The new British Philosophical Association (BPA), set to support learning, teaching and research in Philosophy, is embracing Jeremy Bentham's Individualism to ensure the subject is represented in the UK. Unlike the National Committee for Philosophy that it replaces, membership is open to individual philosophers, as well as Higher Education departments, and philosophical societies. The BPA is the...
