Old Stain in a New Combination
New combinations of agents based on the oldest synthetic malaria drug, the methylene blue stain, can curb the spread of malaria parasites and make a significant contribution to the long-term eradication called for by the international "Roll Back Malaria Initiative." view more (2009-05-21)
Blow for hair link to breast cancer
The promising link between certain properties in human hair which could have potentially helped in diagnosis of breast cancer is "dubious" according to research published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Physics in Medicine and Biology. Dr Mark Sutton of the McGill University in Canada and colleagues have found no clear association... view more... (2002-04-26)
Mouse experiments shed light on age effects in arthritis
Older mice are more susceptible to proteoglycan-induced arthritis (PGIA). Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Immunity & Ageing have shown, for the first time, that young mice are completely resistant, but become fully susceptible to the disease with age. view more (2009-06-11)
Race and gender influence people's perceptions of how fairly they are paid
Race and gender have a strong influence on people's perceptions of how fairly they are paid, according to new research by University of Warwick Researcher Maureen Paul, to be presented at the Royal Economic Society's Annual Conference on Tuesday 8 April. Her analysis of data from the British Social Attitudes Survey reveals that the average... view more... (2003-04-02)
Ant has given up sex completely, report Texas researchers
The complete asexuality of a widespread fungus-gardening ant, the only ant species in the world known to have dispensed with males entirely, has been confirmed by a team of Texas and Brazilian researchers. view more (2009-08-26)
Plastic surgeons identify hidden facial cheek fat compartments that are key to youthful appearance

METVIX PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY (PDT) SUPERIOR TO CRYOTHERAPYIN THE TREATMENT OF ACTINIC KERATOSIS (AK)
Positive Results From a Large Scale Phase III Study in Australia PhotoCure ASA has recently completed a large scale phase III clinical trial in Australia, where more than 800 pre-cancerous skin lesions (actinic keratosis or “sun spots”) caused by sun damage, in over 200 patients were studied. A novel photodynamic therapy, was compared... view more... (2001-01-15)

Fishing in the dark
Nanotechnology is a relatively new scientific field that holds immense promise for the future. A nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter, and nanoparticles form the basis of completely new materials for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, electronic and optical applications. The size and structure of the particles are decisive in regulating the optical,... view more... (1999-09-03)

A new computer-based technique could eliminate hours of manual adjustment associated with a popular cancer treatment. view more (2007-02-07)
Hope for a rabies eradication strategy in Africa
Most of the rabies virus circulating in dogs in western and central Africa comes from a common ancestor introduced to the continent around 200 years ago, probably by European colonialists. view more (2009-01-22)
From 2-D blueprint, material assembles into novel 3-D nanostructures
An international team of scientists affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center has coaxed a self-assembling material into forming never-before-seen, three-dimensional nanoscale structures, with potential applications ranging from catalysis and chemical separation to semiconductor manufacturing. view more (2006-01-30)
Hospital volume doesn't explain racial disparity in cardiovascular procedure deaths
Although hospitals that perform fewer cardiovascular procedures tend to have higher death rates than higher-volume hospitals, and although African-American and Hispanic patients tend to be treated at lower-volume hospitals, differences in volume do not explain racial disparities in cardiovascular procedure death rates. view more (2006-01-16)

Biochip mimics the body to reveal toxicity of industrial compounds
A new biochip technology could eliminate animal testing in the chemicals and cosmetics industries, and drastically curtail its use in the development of new pharmaceuticals, according to new findings from a team of researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the University of California at Berkeley, and Solidus Biosciences Inc. view more (2007-12-18)
Possible solution to Group B streptococci infection in newborn infants
The search for a vaccine against group B streptococci Group B streptococci are one of the leading causes of infection in newborn infants, causing pneumonia, septicaemia or meningitis. view more (2007-02-09)
Cancer-causing protein may heal damaged spinal cord and brain cells
Cancer researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have found that a protein known for driving the growth of cancer also plays a surprising role in restoring the ability of neurons to regenerate, making it an important target for addressing spinal cord damage or neurological diseases like Alzheimer's. view more (2006-06-29)
Electronic equipment gets a second life
As of next year, electronics manufacturers in Europe will be required to take back and partially recycle old equipment. Beginning in 2006, electronics must be completely lead-free. An industry conference in Berlin sheds light on how companies can meet these regulations. view more (2004-08-27)
Fossils excavated from Bahamian blue hole may give clues of early life
Long before tourists arrived in the Bahamas, ancient visitors took up residence in this archipelago off Florida's coast and left remains offering stark evidence that the arrival of humans can permanently change -- and eliminate -- life on what had been isolated islands, says a University of Florida researcher. view more (2007-12-04)
Tumor-killing virus selectively targets diseased brain cells
New findings show that a specialized virus with the ability to reproduce its tumor-killing genes can selectively target tumors in the brains of mice and eliminate them. view more (2008-02-20)
