Researchers discover pathway to cell size, division
Organisms precisely regulate cell size to ensure that daughter cells have sufficient cellular material to thrive or to create specific cell types: a tiny sperm versus a gargantuan egg for example. view more (2007-07-31)
Novel fungus helps beetles to digest hard wood
A little known fungus tucked away in the gut of Asian longhorned beetles helps the insect munch through the hardest of woods according to a team of entomologists and biochemists. Researchers say the discovery could lead to innovative methods of controlling the invasive pest, and potentially offer more efficient ways of breaking down plant biomass... view more... (2008-08-19)
University of the Basque Country study on proteins related to Alzheimer
The cause, or at least one of the possible causes, of memory loss amongst Alzheimer sufferers is related to the location of certain proteins. view more (2009-10-16)
New clues to stroke role in Alzheimer's
Researchers have discovered key details of how stroke or traumatic brain injury can trigger Alzheimer's disease (AD) by enhancing formation of brain-clogging amyloid plaques. view more (2007-06-07)
Tech researchers using nanotechnology in biofuel process to save money, environment
Dr. James Palmer, associate professor of chemical engineering at Louisiana Tech University, is collaborating with fellow professors Dr. Yuri Lvov, Dr. Dale Snow, and Dr. Hisham Hegab to capitalize on the environmental and financial benefits of "biofuels" by using nanotechnology to further improve the cellulosic ethanol processes. view more (2009-10-09)
Selfing DNA prevents genomes from mixing
Genomes of multicellular organisms are one of the greatest mysteries of biology. The more is discovered about them, the more questions are to be answered. One of such questions is connected with the size of a genome. As is known since the middle of the 20th century, the level of organization of an organism does not depend on the genome size, i.e.,... view more... (2002-10-11)
Researchers discover RNA repair system in bacteria
In new papers appearing this month in Science and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, University of Illinois biochemistry professor Raven H. Huang and his colleagues describe the first RNA repair system to be discovered in bacteria. view more (2009-10-13)
Blocking previously unrecognized links between inflammatory systems could make COX-2 inhibitors safe
A recently identified path of inflammation once thought to be wholly independent of other inflammatory systems has now been linked to another major pathway. view more (2005-12-23)
Even natural perfumes may cause allergies
Hypersensitivity to perfumes is the most common contact allergy in adults. Research at the University of Gothenburg has demonstrated that even natural aromatic oils, which many deem harmless compared to synthetic perfumes, may cause allergic reactions. view more (2009-02-04)
Scientists discover new chemical reaction for DNA production in bacteria and viruses
A team of researchers has discovered a new chemical reaction for producing one of the four nucleotides, or building blocks, needed to build DNA. view more (2009-04-17)
Cause of nerve fiber damage in multiple sclerosis identified
Researchers have identified how the body's own immune system contributes to the nerve fiber damage caused by multiple sclerosis, a finding that can potentially aid earlier diagnosis and improved treatment for this chronic disease. view more (2006-10-17)
Study allays fears about the physical and psychological development of ICSI children
Lausanne, Switzerland: Children born with the help of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) appear to be developing normally, despite earlier concerns about their physical and psychological development, according to American researchers. Dr Gianpiero Palermo, from the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility at Cornell University, USA,... view more... (2001-07-01)
Key to lung cancer chemo resistance revealed
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have discovered how taking the brakes off a "detox" gene causes chemotherapy resistance in a common form of lung cancer. view more (2006-10-11)
Virginia Tech engineer investigates enzyme link to neurological disease
Several neurologically based afflictions, such as Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer diseases, have been correlated to a higher than normal presence of a specific type of enzymes, called transglutaminases (TGase) in the human body. view more (2005-08-31)
Plastic-Protein Hybrid Materials
Enzymatic films for bioactive surfaces We encounter them every day in laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, or shower gel: surfactants - surface-active substances. Surfactants belong to a category of molecules called amphiphiles, molecular hermaphrodites consisting of a water-loving (hydrophilic) "head" and a water-hating (hydrophobic) "tail".... view more...

Shining sweetness â€" fluorescent sugars shed new light on future TB therapies
The discovery that fluorescent sugar molecules mark important enzymes of the tuberculosis bacillus will facilitate investigation of the potential importance of the enzymes for future tuberculosis (TB) therapies. This insight is a gratifying "by-product" of research at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Graz University of... view more... (2003-05-19)
Insulin Pills
The issue of insulin-dependent diabetes has long been discussed. No wonder, as the problem concerns more than 5% of the world population. However, despite the enormous efforts and funds spent on its solution, the scientists so far have failed to replace the injections with pills. The difficulty is that insulin (like any other polypeptide) gets... view more... (2002-02-26)
Arsenic remedy for arsenic poisoning? - Homeopathic solutions for a global catastrophe
A homeopathic remedy made from arsenic oxide could ease the suffering of the hundreds of millions of people at risk from arsenic poisoning worldwide. Research, published this week in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, suggests that Arsenicum Album reduces the liver damage caused by arsenic poisoning. Arsenic contamination of groundwater... view more... (2003-10-17)
Growing green gold
A new way to make gold form inside the cells of a micro-organism is published today in the Institute of Physics journal Nanotechnology. Researchers from the National Chemical Laboratory and the Armed Forces Medical College, both in Pune, India, have been using “green chemistry” to develop an eco-friendly way to make tiny gold particles... view more...
