'Shuttling' protein possibly key to resilience of cancer cells
Researchers at Purdue University have discovered a molecular mechanism that may play a crucial role in cancer's ability to resist chemotherapy and radiation treatment and that also may be involved in Alzheimer's and heart disease.   view more (2006-03-08)

'Micro-boxes' of water used to study single molecules
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated the use of water droplets as minuscule "boxes" for small numbers of biomolecules.   view more (2006-07-24)

C1XS catches first glimpse of X-ray from the moon
The C1XS X-ray camera, jointly developed by the UK's STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has successfully detected its first X-ray signature from the Moon.   view more (2009-01-26)

A potential drug for liver carcinoma
Looking for efficient anti-tumor drugs is a hot research area. Chrysin (5,7-dihydroxy flavone), a natural widely-distributed flavonoid, has been reported to have many different biological activities such as anti-oxidant, anti-virus, antidiabetogenic activity and clear anxiolytic effect.   view more (2009-05-22)

Multitasking nanotechnology

Fluorescence microscopy reveals why some antifreeze proteins inhibit ice growth better than others
Antifreeze or "ice structuring" proteins - found in some fish, insects, plants, fungi and bacteria - attach to the surface of ice crystals to inhibit their growth and keep the host organism from freezing to death.   view more (2007-03-07)

Tiny computers go where no computer has gone before
A major breakthrough in the use of molecules as information processors is to be announced at this year's BA Festival of Science in Dublin.   view more (2005-09-08)

Cancer cells forming blood vessels send their copper to the edge
New information about a link between the growth of blood vessels critical to the spread of cancer and the copper in our bodies has been discovered by researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, using a beamline at the Advanced Photon Source.   view more (2007-02-28)

Bigelow Laboratory Scientists develop new approach to study marine microbes
Drs. Michael Sieracki and Ramunas Stepanauskas, scientists at Bigelow Laboratory, have proven a new approach of obtaining genetic codes of ocean microbes, based on the analysis of individual unicellular organisms.   view more (2007-05-22)

Vigilance needed in nanotechnology
University of Calgary chemistry professor David Cramb is a step closer to helping solve a complex problem in nanotechnology: the impact nanoparticles have on human health and the environment.   view more (2010-03-04)

Nano machine switches between biological and silicon worlds
Scientists have created a molecular switch that could play a key role in thousands of nanotech applications. The Mol-Switch project successfully developed a demonstrator to prove the principle, despite deep scepticism from specialist colleagues in biotechnology and biophysics.   view more (2006-04-25)

Laser fluorescence could find life on Mars
A team of scientists from the United States and the United Kingdom has developed a technique using ultraviolet light to identify organic matter in soils that they say could be used to document the existence of life on Mars.   view more (2008-06-23)

Fluorescent cancer cells to guide brain surgeons
Gliomas are malignant brain tumors that arise from glial (supporting) cells of the brain. Gliomas are often resistant to chemotherapy.   view more (2009-04-06)

Changes in chromosomal constitution of preimplantation embryos suggest caution in genetic screening
Embryos that are selected out as abnormal can undergo chromosomal modifications, a scientist will tell the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics today.   view more (2007-06-19)
