Drug resistance may travel same path as quorum sensing
The cellular "pumps" associated with multi-drug resistance in bacteria may also be involved in exporting signals responsible for cell-cell communication, a process known as quorum sensing. view more (2006-02-07)
Newly Located Greek Temple to Be Discussed at AIA Annual Meeting
The discovery in Albania of a Greek temple dating back to the 6th century B.C. by researchers from UC's Classics Department will be publicly presented for the first time at the Archaeological Institute of America's annual meeting in early January. view more (2006-01-09)
Toad tadpoles and the 'Laurel and Hardy' effect
Research at the University of Kent has revealed a remarkable phenomenon among tadpoles of the Mallorcan midwife toad, one of Europe's most threatened species. The researchers, from the University's Durrell Institute for Conservation and Ecology, (DICE) have discovered that the toad tadpoles can change shape when they smell snakes swimming nearby.... view more...

Ice has a starring role - CMD19/CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
When even moderately hot stars like our Sun have surface temperatures of around 6,000°C, it is hard to imagine that ice plays an important part in their formation. But that`s exactly what astrophysicists have recently discovered by turning to surface scientists for help. At the Condensed Matter conference on Monday 8 April, part of the... view more...

System failure at heart of child abuse case disasters
System failure lies at the heart of the current crisis surrounding cases of suspected child abuse, argues a retired paediatrician in this week's BMJ. The recent quashing of Sally Clark's conviction for the murder of two of her children and the collapse of the case against Trupti Patel have shaken public confidence. But we need to look less... view more... (2003-08-06)
Dictators in the workplace

These effects have implications for managers and politicians who are concerned about such issues as employee turnover and the ‘brain... view more... (2002-02-27)
Pesticide build-up could lead to poor honey bee health
Honey bees industriously bring pollen and nectar to the hive, but along with the bounty comes a wide variety of pesticides, according to Penn State researchers. view more (2008-08-19)
Discovery points to more effective ways of regulating cell signalling
A discovery made at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute provides new insights into enhancing the function of the protein SOCS3, which regulates the response of cells to external stimuli. view more (2006-04-21)
New materials for high efficiency organic solid state lighting
A new organic molecule developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists may significantly improve the efficiency of organic solid state lighting. Direct conversion of electricity to light in "solid state" thin films of organic molecules occurs in organic light emitting devices which can be far more efficient than... view more... (2006-03-30)

Demand for emergency ambulances has risen
Demand for emergency ambulances in the United Kingdom is rising. A study in this week's BMJ examines the reasons for this rise. Researchers analysed emergency ambulance dispatches using a randon sample of records held by Wiltshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust. They identified details of 6,100 calls relating to 5,821 incidents over a nine year... view more... (2002-03-13)
Astronomers find record-old cosmic explosion
Using the powerful one-two combo of NASA's Swift satellite and the Gemini Observatory, astronomers from a number of institutions, including Johns Hopkins, have detected a mysterious type of cosmic explosion farther back in time than ever before. view more (2008-01-10)
Brain protein improves stroke symptoms in rats, even when injected after 3 days
A protein naturally occurring in the brain improves recovery from stroke when injected up to three days after the onset of the stroke, and could be used as an effective stroke drug. view more (2006-10-18)
Higher risk of death in heart attack victims with no chest pain
An absence of chest pain during a heart attack increases the risk of death, shows research in Heart. Previous research shows that chest pain is not typical of a heart attack in around one in four patients. The study focused on 3684 admissions to 20 adjacent hospitals in Yorkshire for suspected heart attack for three months in 1995. In 2100 cases a... view more... (2001-10-12)
Bacterial slime helps cause serious disease
Leptospirosis is a serious but neglected emerging disease that infects humans through contaminated water. Now research published in the May issue of the journal Microbiology shows for the first time how bacteria that cause the disease survive in the environment. view more (2008-05-05)
Trigger-happy star formation
A new study from two of NASA's Great Observatories provides fresh insight into how some stars are born, along with a beautiful new image of a stellar nursery in our Galaxy. view more (2009-08-13)
Einstein researchers find convincing evidence that probiotics are effective
Up to one in five people on antibiotics stop taking their full course of antibiotic therapy due to diarrhea. Physicians could help patients avoid this problem by prescribing probiotics, according to a study by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University published in American Family Physician. view more (2008-12-18)
