MU Research Adds To the Body of Evidence That Finds Exercise Pivotal in Preventing or Fighting Diabetes
One in three American children born in 2000 will develop type II diabetes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). view more (2007-02-08)
First experimental evidence for speedy adaptation to pesticides by worm species
Scientists at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia (IGC) and the Faculty of Science of the University of Lisbon, in Portugal, have shown that populations of the worm Caenhorabditis elegans become resistance to pesticides in 20 generations, that is, in only 80 days. view more (2008-12-18)
Discovering soybean plants resistant to aphids and a new aphid
This year farmers in the Midwest are growing a new variety of soybeans developed by University of Illinois researchers that has resistance to soybean aphids. view more (2009-08-11)
Defense peptide found in primates may block some human HIV transmissions
As primates evolved 7 million years ago, the more advanced species stopped making a protein that University of Central Florida researchers believe can effectively block the HIV-1 virus from entering and infecting blood cells. view more (2006-08-10)
Chemical genomic screening identifies novel therapeutic strategies for cancer
A sophisticated new chemical genetic screening strategy that serves as a tool for identifying anticancer compounds may significantly enhance the drug discovery process. view more (2006-09-29)
Slowing insect resistance to genetically modified crops
Genetically modified Bt crops are now widely used in the USA. These crops contain genes from bacteria that make them toxic to some insect pests. A central concern in regulating these genetically modified crops is the risk of insects evolving resistance to the Bt toxins. To reduce this risk, the "high dose/refuge" strategy is now being used, in... view more... (2002-10-30)
Call not to use certain type of anti-viral drugs for influenza a virus for 2006 flu season
Recent, additional data show that the prevalence of adamantane-resistant influenza A viruses is high across the United States, according to a new study published online today by JAMA because of its public health importance. view more (2006-02-03)
Older drugs may be good stopgap treatment for malaria in Africa
A combination of older malaria drugs could treat malaria efficiently in some parts of Africa until a newer antimalarial drug called is widely available in those areas, a new review of recent studies suggests. view more (2006-01-25)
Key to treating killer disease may be uncovered by UK team
UK researchers think they are close to finding the first effective treatment to fight one of the biggest killer diseases in the UK. Professor Peter Barnes will present the work at the British Endocrine Societies 2005 meeting in Harrogate. view more (2005-04-01)
Cell Analysis wins EC grant to develop rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing
Cell Analysis has just won an EC grant worth approximately £500,000 to develop further its patented technology for the rapid testing of antibiotic susceptibility in bacteria. This project aims to improve significantly the efficiency of antibiotic prescription practice by increasing the speed of susceptibility testing. Cell Analysis is the... view more... (2001-03-01)
Weight lifting can help overweight teens reduce risk of diabetes
Teens at risk of developing diabetes can prevent or delay its onset through strength training exercise, a University of Southern California study has found. view more (2006-07-26)
Zinc deficiency an underestimated problem
Children in Java have better resistance to disease if they take not only vitamin A and iron supplements but also extra zinc. NWO nutrition researchers have shown that shortages of vitamin A and the two minerals often occur together. Zinc deficiency appears to be a problem which has so far not been fully recognised. Indonesian children currently... view more... (2001-07-26)
U of M study finds new insight on therapy for a devastating parasitic disease
University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have discovered an important new insight into how a commonly prescribed drug may work to treat those infected by a parasitic flatworm. view more (2009-06-24)
Postmenopausal women with higher testosterone levels
Postmenopausal women who have higher testosterone levels may be at greater risk of heart disease, insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome compared to women with lower testosterone levels. view more (2009-11-04)
Battling virus disease of watermelon with bottlegourds
New help may be on the way for beleaguered growers of popular cucurbit crops like cucumbers and watermelons. Many varieties of the widely grown bottlegourd (Lagenaria siceraria) appear to have resistance to Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), a scourge of commercial cucurbits that includes pumpkins, squashes and other kinds of melons, including... view more...

Agent that triggers immune response in plants is uncovered
Although plants lack humans' T cells and other immune-function cells to signal and fight infection, scientists have known for more than 100 years that plants still somehow signal that they have been attacked in order to trigger a plantwide resistance. view more (2007-10-05)
Outsmarting cancer - new results from novel enzyme inhibitors
Smart drugs that can break the chain of command between enzymes and the genes involved in cell division and cell death are a new way forward in tackling breast cancer, according to Dr Stephen Johnston, a consultant oncologist from The Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK. He was speaking at a news briefing on Thursday (21 March) at the 3rd European... view more... (2002-03-19)
Antibiotic resistance in farm animals
Pigs and other farm animals are harbouring major reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to research presented today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting in Trinity College Dublin, by researchers from the University of Leeds. view more (2004-08-23)
Cancer stem cells linked to radiation resistance
Certain types of brain cancer cells, called cancer stem cells, help brain tumors to buffer themselves against radiation treatment by activating a "repair switch" that enables them to continue to grow unchecked. view more (2006-10-19)
Pioneer and Devgen to collaborate on pest resistance research
Devgen has announced a research collaboration with Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., a subsidiary of DuPont, to develop crop varieties with increased resistance to plant pests. view more (2004-09-14)
