The bonsai effect: Wounded plants make jasmonates, inhibiting cell division, stunting growth
It is well known that plants growing under unfavourable conditions are generally smaller than those growing in stress-free conditions: indeed it is estimated that in the US, abiotic stress reduces the yield of agricultural crops by an average of 22%.   view more (2008-11-12)

Embryonic stem cells could help to overcome immune rejection problems
Tissues derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells could help to pacify the immune system and so prevent recipients from rejecting them, the UK National Stem Cell Network Science Meeting will hear today (11 April).   view more (2008-04-11)

Memory loss in older adults due to distractions, not inability to focus
The short-term memory problems that accompany normal aging are associated with an inability to filter out surrounding distractions, not problems with focusing attention, according to a study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley.   view more (2005-09-12)

Lack of deep sleep may increase risk of type 2 diabetes
Suppression of slow-wave sleep in healthy young adults significantly decreases their ability to regulate blood-sugar levels and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.   view more (2008-01-02)

Mystery Of Charisma Revealed By Famelab Study
New research suggests that highly charismatic people possess an exceptional ability to induce their own emotions and feelings in others. A study of over 200 of those taking part in FameLabTM - a national competition launched by the Cheltenham Science Festival in partnership with NESTA (The National... view more (2005-05-23)

The prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection in inflammatory bowel disease patients
Patients with IBD have high risk of infection by hepatitis viruses B or C because during the course of their disease, they need blood transfusions, and sometimes surgical and endoscopic procedures for diagnosis and treatment.   view more (2008-09-18)

New treatment model for HIV
Treatment of HIV patients must balance the need to suppress viral replication against the harmful side effects and significant cost to the patient of antiretroviral therapy.   view more (2007-07-13)

Research offers new approach to developing treatments for cocaine and amphetamine addiction
The study shows that highly addictive drugs, like cocaine and amphetamine, require a neurotransmitter called CART (Cocaine- and Amphetamine-Regulated Transcript) peptides to produce their maximal effects.   view more (2005-09-29)

New pathways for autoimmune treatment identified
A rare genetic defect that can trigger a host of diseases from type 1 diabetes to alopecia has helped explain the imbalance of immune regulator and killer cells in autoimmune disease.   view more (2006-05-30)

A tumor suppressor that promotes cancer cell growth?
Researchers have shown that the tumor suppressor gene H-REV107-1 may actually stimulate tumor progression in some non-small cell lung carcinomas.   view more (2006-10-09)

More large forest fires linked to climate change
Large forest fires have occurred more frequently in the western United States since the mid-1980s as spring temperatures increased, mountain snows melted earlier and summers got hotter, according to new research.   view more (2006-07-07)

Study shows big power of small RNAs, not just proteins, in halting cancer
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) researchers led by Lin He, Xingyue He, and Professor and Howard Hughes Medical Investigator (HHMI) Greg Hannon have identified a family of micro RNAs (miRNAs) that enable a critical tumor suppressor network, called the p53 pathway, to fight cancer growth.   view more (2007-06-07)

Penn State research shows withdrawal drug offers relief for Crohn's sufferers
A Penn State College of Medicine pilot study suggests that a drug used to ease symptoms of alcohol and drug addiction may also bring relief to people with Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory disorder of the intestine that affects an estimated 500,000 Americans.   view more (2006-05-30)

Researchers identify cancer preventive properties in common vitamin supplement
Early laboratory research has shown that resveratrol, a common dietary supplement, suppresses the abnormal cell formation that leads to most types of breast cancer, suggesting a potential role for the agent in breast cancer prevention.   view more (2008-07-07)

Penn study points to how COX-2 inhibitors can eventually lead to heart disease
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers have found additional evidence that may help explain how selective inhibitors of COX-2 might predispose individuals to heart disease and stroke.   view more (2005-05-25)

NIST evaluates firefighting tactics in NYC high-rise test
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) fire protection engineers turned an abandoned New York City (NYC) brick high-rise into a seven-story fire laboratory last month to better understand the fast-moving spread of wind-driven flames, smoke and toxic gases through corridors and... view more (2008-03-19)

Study by Einstein researchers could lead to a novel strategy for treating obesity
In their latest finding on the brain's role in controlling appetite and weight, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have shown that reducing levels of fatty acids in the hypothalamus causes rats to overeat and become obese.   view more (2006-01-16)

Researchers at IRB Barcelona discover one of the mechanisms that prevents the spread of colon cancer
The first step in the development of colon cancer is the formation of benign tumours, called adenomas, in the intestine. Over time, these tumours may progress to produce colon cancer if they undergo a series of mutations and genetic alterations.   view more (2007-10-01)

ETH Researchers Decipher Learning Processes in Mice
Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) belongs to a group of molecules that on the basis of earlier studies has been proposed to be a controlling factor for learning and memory. The ETH researchers produced genetically modified mice in which the activity of PP1 can be reduced at will. These animals were... view more (2002-08-28)

Royal corruption is rife in the ant world
Far from being a model of social co-operation, the ant world is riddled with cheating and corruption - and it goes all the way to the top, according to scientists from the Universities of Leeds and Copenhagen.   view more (2008-03-12)
