Study offers insights into failed HIV-1 vaccine trial
Following the disbandment of the STEP trial to test the efficacy of the Merck HIV-1 vaccine candidate in 2007, the leading explanation for why the vaccine was ineffective - and may have even increased susceptibility to acquiring the virus - centered on the hypothesis that high levels of baseline Ad5-specific neutralizing antibodies may have... view more...

Researchers discover a protein responsible for shaping the nervous system
A team of researchers led by The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), the University of Toronto (U of T) and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have discovered a protein that is responsible for shaping the nervous system. view more (2005-12-08)
Yale study shows why cigarette smoke makes flu, other viral infections worse
A new study by researchers at Yale School of Medicine could explain why the cold and flu virus symptoms that are often mild and transient in non-smokers can seriously sicken smokers. Published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the study also identified the mechanism by which viruses and cigarette smoke interact to increase lung... view more... (2008-07-25)

Many characteristics of Mars, including ice, are similar to Earth, paper says
Mars gets as far as 250 million miles away, but many parts of it closely resemble places on Earth, including its landscape, history of water, soil and even its weather, says a Texas A&M University researcher in the current issue of "Science" magazine. view more (2009-07-06)
Wheezing and asthma in young children
The diagnosis of asthma in a young child may well be more challenging to pediatricians than previously appreciated, according to a review of research and clinical experience literature by Howard Eigen, M.D., of the Indiana University School of Medicine and Riley Hospital for Children appearing in the October 2008 issue of Clinical Pediatrics. view more (2008-10-08)
Foggy road
What happens if fog comes on roads? First of all, visibility falls down, so the risk for a car accident increases, especially on highways. Scientists from Central Aerological Observatory have constructed a special electrostatic filter, which eliminates the fog at a distance up to 10 meters. The filter looks like a metal frame with a precipitation... view more... (2002-10-18)
PET Imaging Shows Young Smokers Quick Benefit of Quitting
The early stages of coronary artery disease in young smokers can be reversed quickly if they choose to put out their cigarettes for good, according to a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging study in the December Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2006-12-06)
Killer freeze of '07 illustrates paradoxes of warming climate
A destructive spring freeze that chilled the eastern United States almost a year ago illustrates the threat a warming climate poses to plants and crops, according to a paper just published in the journal BioScience. The study was led by a team from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. view more (2008-03-06)
Novel virus detection identifies new viruses in study of respiratory infections and asthma attacks
A new study has found an unexpected number of viruses and viral subtypes in patients with respiratory tract infections (RTIs). The technique used in the study may help identify new viruses associated with human diseases. view more (2007-09-07)
Fish Blood Preserves Sperm
In the Arctic and Antarctic seas the water gets cold to minus 1.9 C in winter, but somehow some fish live there. These cold-blooded creatures survive in the icy water because the blood in their veins contains antifreeze proteins and glycoproteins. High levels of the antifreeze proteins are found in the blood serum, they are present in cell... view more... (2002-06-04)
Preventing colds: Washing your hands is more effective than taking vitamins
The days are getting shorter, temperatures are dropping, and the cold and flu season is beginning. Many people have started taking vitamin C tablets as a precautionary measure. But research has shown that vitamin supplements do not provide nearly as much protection as other measures, like frequently washing your hands - and that high doses can... view more... (2008-10-09)
For sardine and anchovy, El Ni'ħo events do not always have the same effects
Near the coasts of Peru and Chile, the Humboldt Current ecosystem is the world's most productive fishing zone. This cold-current zone, with frequent coastal upwellings (2), occupies less than 1 % of the world's ocean surface and provides 15 to 20 % of global maritime catches. view more (2005-03-01)
Secrets of the 4 chambers revealed by reptile hearts
The first genetic link in the evolution of the heart from three-chambered to four-chambered has been found, illuminating part of the puzzle of how birds and mammals became warm-blooded. view more (2009-09-03)
Cooling with tiny crystals
Refrigeration equipment prevents sweaty brows in the summer and also keeps our food fresh for longer periods. With CryoSol®, a new and easily pumpable liquid ice suspension, space requirements for cold storage are much lower than with conventional coolants. view more (2004-08-27)
Robust sensor yields cleaner car exhaust
Emissions from cars have to be reduced further in order to meet today's environmental demands. A new and robust exhaust sensor developed by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden has proven to meter the consistency of exhaust gases extremely well and is now on its way to the market. view more (2005-04-27)
Japanese Researchers Get to the Heart of Atherosclerosis
Using positron emission tomography (PET), the medical isotope 15O-water and cold pressor tests, Japanese researchers were able to detect the beginnings of atherosclerosis—before the disease became clinically evident. view more (2006-06-05)
First Cryopreservation Seed Bank For Arabica Coffee
The storage of coffee (Coffea arabica) seeds to ensure preservation of their genetic resources is an important problem. Like many other tropical plants, coffee seeds cannot be conserved in cold storage because they remain cold-sensitive. IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement), with the financial backing of the BRG (Bureau des... view more... (2000-09-14)
