Some biochemical processes, especially those in bacteria, have been so well studied it's assumed that no discoveries are left to be made. view more (2007-08-23)
'MilliBots' for the millennium National Science Week at Loughborough University
The 'MilliBots' will be judged by a panel of University staff, who will assess each entry's fitness for purpose and look for the most innovative and novel designs. The winning entries in each age group will receive tickets to Snibston Discovery Park, and prizes designed to stimulate their interest in science, engineering and technology. The... view more...

Leading toxicologist warns against new drug of abuse
Professor Alison Jones said benzylpiperazine was a "new drug of abuse" which could have serious clinical effects - similar to those of ecstasy to which it is structurally related. view more (2007-04-30)
New image analysis techniques to monitor how breast tumours respond to drugs
New techniques that might allow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to be used to give doctors subtle information about a tumour’s physiology and how it reacts to drug therapy are being developed. view more (2001-12-18)
Researchers discover human embryonic stem cells are the ultimate perpetual fuel cell
A startling discovery on the development of human embryonic stem cells by scientists at McMaster University will change how future research in the area is done. view more (2007-07-12)
Cancer cells lose drug resistance following electrical stimulation in vitro
Drug-resistant tumour cells lose their drug resistance when exposed to low intensity, low frequency electric pulses for three days. view more (2006-03-17)
Scientists up the ante in war against "superbugs"
Scientists have discovered a weakness in tuberculosis-causing "superbugs" which could help doctors fight the emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, says Dr Jim Naismith speaking at the BA Festival of Science at the University of Glasgow today [3rd Spetember 2001]. Tuberculosis (TB) affects more than 50 million people worldwide.... view more... (2001-08-30)
Halting retrieval of drug-associated memories may prevent addiction relapse
Disrupting the brain's retrieval of drug-associated memories may prevent relapse in drug addiction, according to new research in the August 13 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. view more (2008-08-13)
Research in PNAS by Hydra shows that TRP ion channel drug can treat allergy-induced asthma
Hydra Biosciences, Inc., a biotech company developing novel ion channel drugs, today announced that research published by Hydra Biosciences scientists and collaborators at Yale University for the first time identified the ion channel TRPA1 as playing an essential role in allergic asthma and demonstrated that Hydra's TRPA1 antagonist HC-030031... view more...

Monash researchers lead the way in blood clotting discovery
A Monash-led research team has discovered an entirely new mechanism that promotes blood clot formation - a major breakthrough that will impact on treatment and prevention of heart disease and stroke. view more (2009-05-26)
Many receptor models used in drug design may not be useful after all
It may very well be that models used for the design of new drugs have to be regarded as impractical. This is the sobering though important conclusion of the work of two Leiden University scientists published in Science this week. view more (2008-10-03)
Heparin prepared synthetically could replace animal-derived drug
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered an alternative way to produce heparin, a drug commonly used to stop or prevent blood from clotting. view more (2006-02-07)
Team discovers possible 'Universal Strategy' to combat addiction
An international research team led by the University of Saskatchewan has discovered a signaling pathway in the brain involved in drug addiction, together with a method for blocking its action, that may point to a single treatment strategy for most addictions. view more (2006-02-13)
LSD finds new respectability
It was the drug of choice on university campuses, the drug that spawned psychedelic culture as well as countless jail sentences and fines, but LSD actually has respectable roots-roots that a McMaster University researcher is uncovering. view more (2005-09-01)
Selective amnesia — How a traumatic memory can be wiped out
French CNRS scientists in collaboration have shown that a memory of a traumatic event can be wiped out, although other, associated recollections remain intact. view more (2007-04-02)
Amateurs shown to have crucial role in scientific discovery
Everyone knows how science is advanced. We can all picture the serried rows of white-coated scientists working methodically in their laboratories, with instruments flickering and bright towers of glassware on every bench. The way that a new discovery sweeps across the world is familiar to everyone. Science, they say, is a highly professional... view more... (2000-05-24)
Random drug testing not reliable in keeping teen athletes from using
Random drug and alcohol testing does not reliably keep student-athletes from using. In fact, the mere presence of drug testing increases some risk factors for future substance use, Oregon Health & Science University researchers report. view more (2007-10-19)
