A protein fragment called 12.5 kda cystatin may generate first simple test for multiple sclerosis
Johns Hopkins scientists report the discovery of a protein found only in cerebrospinal fluid that they say might be useful in identifying a subgroup of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) or identifying those at risk for the debilitating autoimmune disorder. view more (2006-03-03)
Less-invasive ultrafiltration device may be practical alternative to diuretics
A device that performs ultrafiltration of blood, without requiring specialized nursing care or invasive central intravenous access, can reduce fluid overload in patients with congestive heart failure. view more (2005-11-30)
St. Jude study solves mystery of mammalian ears
A 30-year scientific debate over how specialized cells in the inner ear amplify sound in mammals appears to have been settled more in favor of bouncing cell bodies rather than vibrating, hair-like cilia. view more (2007-07-30)
Newly identified biomarker detects and regulates spread of brain tumors
Researchers at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute have identified a novel biomarker for brain tumors and have uncovered a potential role the marker may play when the tumor spreads or comes back after treatment. view more (2006-11-13)
Inside a quantum dot: Tracking electrons at trillionths of a second
Researchers at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) have developed a new machine that can reveal how electrons behave inside a single nano-object. view more (2005-11-28)
Diabetes drug class linked to vision-threatening complication
Treatment with the glitazone class of diabetes drugs leads to a "modest" increase in the risk of diabetic macular edema (DME)-a common complication that can lead to vision loss. view more (2009-04-02)
Johns Hopkins researchers discover key protein linked to transverse myelitis and multiple sclerosis
Hopkins researchers have discovered a single molecule that is a cause of an autoimmune disease in the central nervous system, called transverse myelitis (TM), that is related to multiple sclerosis. view more (2005-09-23)
Researchers study signaling networks that set up genetic code
In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois have identified and visualized the signaling pathways in protein-RNA complexes that help set the genetic code in all organisms. view more (2009-04-15)
Fabric design approaches the jet age.
New research into jet printing on textiles could lead to a faster, cheaper alternative to conventional ways of dyeing fabrics. Jet printing could also deliver valuable design benefits, such as a wider choice of colours and avoidance of the need to repeat patterns in a design. The research is being carried out at Leeds University, with funding from... view more... (2003-08-13)
Diversity of trees in Ecuador's Amazon rainforest defies simple explanation
Trees in a hyper-diverse tropical rainforest interact with each other and their environment to create and maintain diversity, researchers report in the Oct. 24 issue of the journal Science. view more (2008-10-24)
Stable polymer nanotubes may have a biotech future
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created polymer nanotubes that are unusually long (about 1 centimeter) as well as stable enough to maintain their shape indefinitely. view more (2006-02-03)
Researchers make nanosheets that mimic protein formation
University of Michigan researchers have discovered a way to make nanocrystals in a fluid assemble into free-floating sheets the same way some protein structures form in living organisms. view more (2006-10-13)
A fast diagnosis for bacterial meningitis
University of Sydney researchers at Westmead Millennium Institute develop an accurate and rapid method of diagnosing bacterial meningitis. view more (2005-11-17)
Sunlight and serotonin underlie seasonal mood disorders
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide further evidence that the effect of sunlight on neurotransmitters in the brain plays a significant role in seasonal mood disorders. The success of phototherapy (ultraviolet light therapy to stimulate brain neurotransmitter activity) and drugs that prevent the reuptake of the... view more... (2002-11-29)
Amateur boxing linked to brain cell injury
A study of 14 Swedish amateur boxers suggests that they have higher levels of certain chemicals in their cerebrospinal fluid in the days following a bout, indicating injuries to neurons and other cells important to brain function. view more (2006-09-12)
Earth's turbulence stirs things up slower than expected
In a simple world rivers would flow in straight lines, every airplane ride would be smooth, and we would know the daily weather 10 years into the future. But the world is not simple - it is turbulent. view more (2006-03-06)
Physicists create a 'perfect' way to study the Big Bang
Physicists have created the state of matter thought to have filled the Universe just a few microseconds after the big bang and found it to be different from what they were expecting. Instead of a gas, it is more like a liquid. Understanding why it is a liquid should take physicists a step closer to explaining the earliest moments of our Universe. view more (2005-07-21)
Special topics in environmental mechanics
With rapid development of economics since the 1980s, people have been increasingly realized that the environment plays an important role in the sustainable development of society and economy. view more (2008-07-01)
Drug controls high-altitude illness
Acetazolamide, a drug used to manage fluid retention in heart failure, controlled the serious effects of pulmonary edema, the accumulation of fluid in lung tissue from high altitude, as well as improved brain oxygenation, during a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study. view more (2007-02-01)
Fusion in the fast lane
Using fast digital imaging, scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, together with researchers from Collîge de France, have succeeded in developing two different protocols by which one can initiate the fusion process in a controlled manner and observe the subsequent fusion dynamics with a... view more...
