Does the face fit?
As any viewer of Crimewatch will know, E-fit pictures don't always give a true likeness of a human face.

A new kind of mutation could explain numerous phenotypic variations in various species
The authors describe the discovery of a novel class of mutations that disrupt the function of a gene and thereby cause a specific phenotype. The mutation created the appearance of an "illegitimate" microRNA (miRNA) recognition site in a gene that did not have it in its normal form. view more (2006-06-06)
Royal Medals for scientific achievement
The Royal Society - the UK's independent academy for science - has announced the winners of its Royal Medals for 2002. The three winners receive the awards in recognition of their achievements in the fields of cancer research, nuclear magnetic resonance and the epidemiology of smoking and chronic disease.

Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Nature Immunology how infection fighting mechanisms in the body can distinguish between a virus and the healthy body, shedding new light on auto immune disorders. view more (2006-01-11)
Precise Location and Navigation in the Centimetre Range
The importance of position recognition systems for control and monitoring processes is steadily increasing. As dictated by the particular application, very high precision and measuring repetition rate are required for this purpose. Consequently, work for developing a novel system for commercial applications has been in progress at the Institute of... view more... (2003-03-31)
DEMAND FOR GREATER REGULATION OF CHINESE HERBALISTS
In their study of Chinese herbal remedies obtained by patients for the treatment of dermatological conditions, Keane et al found that eight of the eleven creams tested contained a prescription only steroid (Dexamethasone) - the prescription of which by unauthorised people is illegal in the UK.

Synthetic faces assist hearing-impaired
With the help of computer-animated faces, people with hearing impairments will soon be able to read lips over the phone. More powerful computers and better methods of animation make expressions and movements in synthetic faces so natural that they can be used for lip-reading. The quality is only marginally different from videotaped natural faces,... view more... (2003-06-16)
