It's relative: Contrasting hurricane theories heat up
In a paper published in the journal Science today, scientists Gabriel A. Vecchi of NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Kyle L. Swanson of the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Atmospheric Sciences Group and Brian J. Soden from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science teamed up to study hurricane... view more... (2008-11-03)
Triptolide: A potential drug for polycystic kidney disease
A treatment for polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a leading cause of fatal kidney failure worldwide, has been identified by a research team led by Yale biochemist Craig Crews, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-03-06)
Brain Wave Monitor Could Replace Lumbar Puncture
Scientists in Southampton have developed non-invasive technology to measure the fluid pressure in the brain safely and painlessly which they hope will eventually reduce the need for a lumbar puncture. Collaborators in London now believe it could be a major advance in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as meningitis, head injury and... view more... (2004-12-16)
"Gray's Paradox" Solved: Researchers Discover Secret of Speedy Dolphins
There was something peculiar about dolphins that stumped prolific British zoologist Sir James Gray in 1936. view more (2008-11-25)
Nevada company, ORNL develop potential lifesaver
A Las Vegas business and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are improving the odds for people medically at risk from dehydration or congestive heart failure. view more (2007-12-21)
Cells from amniotic fluid used to tissue-engineer a new trachea
Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston report using tissue engineering to reconstruct defective tracheas (windpipes) in fetal lambs, first using cells from the amniotic fluid to grow sections of cartilage tube, and then implanting these living grafts into the lambs while still in the womb. view more (2005-10-10)
Study reveals new player in sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome
Every year, more than 200, 000 Americans die from sepsis, a severe illness caused by bacterial infection of the bloodstream. view more (2006-01-24)
Production of spherical beads with the JetCutter
A major problem in particle production technology is the large scale production of uniform beads from viscous fluids. Producing such beads is of interest in various industrial sectors, e.g. chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry, agriculture, biotechnology. The JetCutter is a new and simple technology for bead production that meets the... view more... (2003-11-03)
Gene-bender proteins may sway to DNA
Among the many genes packed into each cell of our body, those that get turned on, or expressed, are the ones that make us who we are. Certain proteins do the job of regulating gene expression by clasping onto key spots of DNA - the nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions. view more (2006-12-05)
Tiny samples could yield big predictive markers for pancreatic cancer
A handful of proteins, detected in incredibly tiny amounts, may one day help doctors distinguish between a harmless lesion in the pancreas and a potentially deadly one, say researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center. view more (2009-03-11)

For patients with severe lung injury, less is more
Results from the largest controlled clinical trial of fluid management methods in patients with severe lung injury provide important new information on the risks and benefits of patient care strategies currently used in the intensive care unit. view more (2006-05-22)
Research advances understanding of how hydrogen fuel is made
Oxygen may be necessary for life, but it sure gets in the way of making hydrogen fuel cheaply and abundantly from a family of enzymes present in many microorganisms. view more (2005-10-06)
UAB/Southern Research Scientists Discover How Flu Damages Lung Tissue
A protein in influenza virus that helps it multiply also damages lung epithelial cells, causing fluid buildup in the lungs, according to new research from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Southern Research Institute. view more (2009-07-20)
Laser Goes Tubing for Faster Body-Fluid Tests
University of Rochester researchers announce in the current issue of Applied Optics a technique that in 60 seconds or less measures multiple chemicals in body fluids, using a laser, white light, and a reflective tube. view more (2007-04-03)
Water flows like molasses on the nanoscale
A Georgia Tech research team has discovered that water exhibits very different properties when it is confined to channels less than two nanometers wide - behaving much like a viscous fluid with a viscosity approaching that of molasses. view more (2007-04-25)
MIT researchers explain mystery of gravity fingers
Researchers at MIT recently found an elegant solution to a sticky scientific problem in basic fluid mechanics: why water doesn't soak into soil at an even rate, but instead forms what look like fingers of fluid flowing downward. view more (2008-12-12)
Inactivity of proteins behind longer shelf life when freezing
Frozen biological material, for example food, can be kept for a long time without perishing. A study by researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, is close to providing answers as to why. view more (2009-03-03)
Dopamine agonist can prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in IVF patients
A class of drug widely used in a number of gynaecological conditions can prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), an infrequent but serious complication of assisted reproduction treatments. view more (2006-06-22)
From frog skin to human colon: rapid responses to steroid hormones
New research on steroid hormone action in the human colon and kidney could pave the way for novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of hypertension and diarrhoea. Prof Brian Harvey at University College Cork has been studying how the hormones oestrogen and aldosterone produce rapid changes in the transport of salt and water through human... view more...
