Gas explosions: A new way to study phantom traffic jams
A University of Alberta researcher has devised a new theoretical approach to studying phantom traffic jams. Normally a traffic tie-up happens when vehicles reach a bottleneck and traffic flow is reduced, or in the case of an accident, halted completely. view more (2009-06-09)
Binghamton University researchers investigate evolving malaria resistance
Funded by a $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, scientists at Binghamton University, State University of New York, hope to understand how the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum evolved resistance to the once-effective medication chloroquine. view more (2007-08-30)
Unexpected discovery can open a new chapter in the fight against tuberculosis
A close relative of the microorganism that causes tuberculosis in humans has been found to form spores. view more (2009-06-09)
New joint replacement material developed at MGH put to first clinical use
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) surgeons have performed the first total hip replacement using a joint socket lined with a novel material invented at the MGH. view more (2007-07-24)
Plymouth Diabetes Research Project Hits £0.5 million
Why diabetes? One of the most worrying health problems in the Western world is the rising incidence of diabetes in adults. Diabetes is virtually unknown in undeveloped countries, but wherever westernisation spreads, diabetes appears and the problem is now epidemic in some parts of the world. Diabetes is a major health risk because of its... view more... (1999-09-22)
Mice and men should have more in common in clinical trials
Just as no two humans are the same, a Purdue University scientist has shown treating mice more as individuals in laboratory testing cuts down on erroneous results and could significantly reduce the cost of drug development. view more (2009-03-31)
Blocking nerve cells delays onset of prion disease
A chemical that specifically blocking parts of the nervous system can delay the onset of scrapie and could lead to new drugs to prevent vCJD and BSE, medical experts heard today (Thursday 10 January 2002) during a joint meeting of the European Societies of Clinical and Veterinary Virology and the Society for General Microbiology at the Royal... view more...

Effective preventive drug against bird flu developed in the mouse
Researchers have developed what could be used as an effective preventive drug against bird flu. view more (2006-10-13)
Durability of dental fillings improves if the enzyme activity of teeth is inhibited
Composite dental fillings have one problematic feature, in that the bond between the filling and the dental tissue deteriorates over time - in fact, sometimes by as much as 50 per cent in one year. As the bond deteriorates, it may allow bacteria to enter and this brings a high risk of further tooth decay. view more (2009-02-12)
NIST team develops novel method for nanostructured polymer thin films
All researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) wanted was a simple, quick method for making thin films of block copolymers or BCPs (chemically distinct polymers linked together) in order to have decent samples for taking measurements important to the microelectronics industry. view more (2007-09-17)
Novel vaccine approach offers hope in fight against HIV
A research team may have broken the stubborn impasse that has frustrated the invention of an effective HIV vaccine, by using an approach that bypasses the usual path followed by vaccine developers. view more (2009-05-18)
What makes a fungus virulent? It's lipase
Infection with the fungus Candida parapsilosis is a major problem for individuals in intensive care units, as well as for premature infants and immunocompromised adults. Despite this, little is known about which of its genes account for its virulence. view more (2007-09-14)
Chemo-radiation before prostate removal may prevent cancer recurrence
Researchers in the Oregon Health & Science University Knight Cancer Institute and the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center have found a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy given before prostate removal is safe and may have the potential to reduce cancer recurrence and improve patient survival. view more (2009-11-05)
Discovery of new protein could provide new understanding of male fertility
Scientists have discovered a new enzyme involved in the degradation of proteins inside cells, a process that helps eliminate or recycle proteins that are no longer needed. view more (2007-08-03)
A new view of asthma's cause
A newly recognized type of immune cell may play an important role in causing asthma, perhaps explaining why current therapies sometimes fail, report researchers from Children's Hospital Boston in the March 16th New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2006-03-16)
Stem cell transplant can grow new immune system in certain mice, Stanford researchers find
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have taken a small but significant step, in mouse studies, toward the goal of transplanting adult stem cells to create a new immune system for people with autoimmune or genetic blood diseases. view more (2007-11-26)
What is the role of reactive oxygen species in ethanol-mediated cell death of polarized hepatic cells?
Liver disease that results as a consequence of alcohol abuse is a major medical problem worldwide. Ethanol consumption leads to a variety of liver alterations including the accumulation of fat, inflammation of the liver, as well as the presence of scar tissue. view more (2009-06-15)
Researchers develop flood-tolerant California rice
Rice grown anywhere in the world soon could be made completely flood-tolerant because of new research by UC Riverside geneticists, done in collaboration with scientists at UC Davis and the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines. view more (2006-08-23)
Terahertz imaging may reduce breast cancer surgeries
A promising new technique to ensure complete tumor removal at breast cancer excision is introduced in the May issue of Radiology. view more (2006-04-26)
Colon cancer a disease of hormone deficiency, Jefferson team finds
Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have found new evidence suggesting that colon cancer is actually a disease of missing hormones that could potentially be treated by hormone replacement therapy. view more (2007-08-01)
