Worms hold clue to link between cancer and ageing in humans
A type of protein linked to cancer prevention in humans may also play a role in ageing, according to findings published in the journal Science tomorrow. view more (2006-06-02)
Smithsonian scientists discover new marine species in eastern Pacific
Smithsonian scientists have discovered a biodiversity bounty in the Eastern Pacific—approximately 50 percent of the organisms found in some groups are new to science. The research team spent 11 days in the Eastern Pacific, a unique, understudied region off the coast of Panama. view more (2007-03-09)
Working with `worms` to reveal the secrets of a long life
10 meter long, 25 year old tape worms living in human and animal digestive systems are the subjects for the latest research project at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA). A group of scientists led by Dr Peter Brophy and Professor John Barrett of the University`s Institute of Biological Sciences are taking a new perspective on how... view more... (2001-12-10)
Tiny worms paving way for better anesthetics
Ten genes that may make patients more or less susceptible to a common anesthetic agent have been identified by researchers using tiny worms and sophisticated technology that eliminates the activity of individual genes. view more (2005-10-24)
480-million-year-old fossil sheds light on 150-year-old paleontological mystery
Discovery of an exceptional fossil specimen in southeastern Morocco that preserves evidence of the animal's soft tissues has solved a paleontological puzzle about the origins of an extinct group of bizarre slug-like animals with rows of mineralized armor plates on their backs, according to a paper in Nature. view more (2008-01-10)
Carbon nanotube absorption measured in worms, cancer cells
University of Michigan researchers have discovered how to measure the absorption of multi-walled carbon nanoparticles into worms and cancer cells, a breakthrough that will revolutionize scientists' understanding of how the particles impact the living environment. view more (2006-03-29)
More Frequent Ivermectin Treatment Could Reduce Symptoms Of Disease Responsible For River Blindness
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET propose that more frequent drug therapy with ivermectin could reduce symptoms of the parasitic disease onchocerciasis, which affects around 18 million people in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and can lead to river blindness. The parasitic worms (Onchocerca volvulus)... view more... (2002-07-17)
Gut worms may protect against house-dust mite allergy
A study conducted in Vietnam has added further weight to the view that parasitic gut worms, such as hookworm, could help in the prevention and treatment of asthma and other allergies. view more (2009-09-29)
Scientists Use MicroRNAs to Track Evolutionary History for First Time
The large group of segmented worms known as annelids, which includes earthworms, leeches and bristle worms, evolved millions of years ago and can be found in every corner of the world. view more (2009-09-10)
Antibiotics help combat dangerous tropical disease
The disease is triggered off by the bite of an infected mosquito: together with its anticoagulant the mosquito pumps threadworm larvae into its host's body. These gravitate towards the lymph nodes, where they grow into threadworms which may be up to ten centimetres long. view more (2005-06-27)
Parasitic worms make sex worthwhile
The coevolutionary struggle between a New Zealand snail and its worm parasite makes sex advantageous for the snail, whose females favor asexual reproduction in the absence of parasites, say Indiana University Bloomington and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology biologists in this week's Current Biology. view more (2009-07-24)
The bizarre lives of bone-eating worms
The females of the recently discovered Osedax marine worms feast on submerged bones via a complex relationship with symbiotic bacteria, and they are turning out to be far more diverse and widespread than scientists expected. view more (2009-11-10)
Mate or hibernate? That's the question worm pheromones answer
If worms could talk, they might tell potential suitors, "I like the way you wriggle," complete with that telltale come slither look. view more (2008-07-25)
Forget the antioxidants? McGill researchers cast doubt on role of free radicals in aging
For more than 40 years, the prevailing explanation of why we get old has been tied to what is called oxidative stress. This theory postulates that when molecules like free radicals, oxygen ions and peroxides build up in cells, they overwhelm the cells' ability to repair the damage they cause, and the cells age. view more (2009-02-18)
New Lifespan Extension Genes Found
New genes tied to lifespan extension in yeast have been identified by researchers from UC Davis and Harvard Medical School. view more (2005-10-03)
BA Festival: Asthma and the Sinister Infiltrator
Professor Tim Williams, head of the Leukocyte Biology Section, Imperial College School of Medicine, will tell the BA Festival of Science on Tuesday 12 September how asthma may be caused primarily by a body defence system that has gone wrong - when allergens in the air are mistaken by the body for products from parasitic worms. Professor Williams... view more... (2000-09-12)
Researchers find level of special protein is critical to proper formation of muscles
Proper formation of the proteins that power heart and skeletal muscle seems to rely on a precise concentration of a "chaperone" protein known as UNC-45, according to a new study. view more (2007-04-25)
Putting a Korset on the spread of computer viruses
Anti-virus companies play a losing game. Casting their nets wide, they catch common, malicious viruses and worms (known to the industry as "malware"), but it may take days before their software updates can prepare your computer for the next attack. view more (2008-09-10)
Worms control lifespan at high temperatures, UCSF study finds
The common research worm, C. elegans, is able to use heat-sensing nerve cells to not only regulate its response to hotter environments, but also to control the pace of its aging as a result of that heat, according to new research at the University of California, San Francisco. view more (2009-04-17)
Study finds doxycycline effective against filariasis in Southeast Asia
Doxycycline alone is more effective against the most common form of filariasis in Southeast Asia than the standard treatment, with significantly fewer side effects, according to a new study published in the May 1 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases and currently available online. view more (2008-04-10)
