Gene therapy technique thwarts cancer by cutting off tumor blood supply
University of Florida researchers have come up with a new gene therapy method to disrupt cancer growth by using a synthetic protein to induce blood clotting that cuts off a tumor's blood and nutrient supply. view more (2009-06-12)
Managing an ocean of information to monitor coastal environments
Europe's coastlines are exposed to risk of pollution. I-MARQ's prototype Geographical Information System (GIS) delivers detailed information on coastal water quality, helping decision makers shore up defences by taking appropriate action against contamination. view more (2004-12-21)
Science & Public Affairs - June 2001
In this month's Science & Public Affairs"¦.. should genes be patented?, George W's Star Wars II folly, is fusion the future of power generation?, examining dialogue as the new key to science communication, gaining recognition for scientist's new role as advisors, what is to become of Kyoto?, scientific organisations consulting the public... view more...

Most powerful laser in the world fires up
The Texas Petawatt laser reached greater than one petawatt of laser power on Monday morning, March 31, making it the highest powered laser in the world, Todd Ditmire, a physicist at The University of Texas at Austin, said. view more (2008-04-08)
Researchers discover how compounds prevent viruses from entering cells
Compounds called defensins-known to prevent viruses from entering cells-appear to do so by preventing the virus from merging to cells' outer membrane. view more (2005-09-16)
Membrane fusion at the synapse: Janus faced synaptotagmin-1 helps to keep the fast pace
Imagine a bathtub with two soap bubbles colliding but never fusing. Then you add detergent, and the surface of the water goes flat as the walls of the bubbles collapse and merge. view more (2008-10-30)
Were the first stars dark?
Perhaps the first stars in the newborn universe did not shine, but instead were invisible "dark stars" 400 to 200,000 times wider than the sun and powered by the annihilation of mysterious dark matter, a University of Utah study concludes view more (2007-12-03)
Suppression of FOXO1a gene might kill resistant ARMS tumors
The loss of function of a gene called FOXO1a plays an important role in the development of the most common cancer of soft tissues in children, and restoring the function of that gene in cancer cells suppresses that cancer. view more (2005-09-22)
Major collaboration uncovers surprising new genetic clues to diabetes
An international team that included scientists from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today reported it has identified six more genetic variants involved in type 2 diabetes, boosting to 16 the total number of genetic risk factors associated with increased risk of the disease. view more (2008-03-31)
Research breakthrough pinpoints aim of ion beams fired at cancer tumors
Nonsurgical cancer therapy that destroys tumors but leaves healthy surrounding tissue intact could be available at every hospital if research reported this week in the journal Nature eventually comes to fruition. view more (2006-01-26)
PET/CT Imaging Proves Golden for Detecting Cancer in Children
PET/CT imaging exhibits significantly higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy than conventional imaging when it comes to detecting malignant tumors in children. view more (2007-12-13)
First Components for the Wendelstein 7-X Fusion Device Ready
The first major components for the Wendelstein 7-X fusion experiment have been delivered to the Greifswald branch of Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP): a magnet coil, the first plasma vessel segment, vessel ports and a microwave transmitter for the plasma heating. The goal of fusion research is to reproduce on earth the energy... view more... (2004-03-02)
Even 'failed stars' form planets
An international team of astronomers shows that even brown dwarfs start to form planets. view more (2005-10-26)
Jaguar upgrade brings ORNL closer to petascale computing
Upgrades to Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Jaguar supercomputer have more than doubled its performance, increasing the system's ability to deliver far-reaching advances in climate studies, energy research, and a wide range of sciences. view more (2008-05-16)
CSHL team develops mouse models of leukemia that predict response to chemotherapy
Being able to accurately predict how a given cancer will respond to chemotherapy would spare patients with non-responsive tumors the burden of undergoing toxic and ultimately unhelpful treatment. Just as important, knowing which of a patient's cancer-causing genetic lesions are contributing to drug resistance might help doctors redesign therapy... view more... (2009-04-01)
Estrogen Helps Drive Distinct, Aggressive Form of Prostate Cancer
Using a breakthrough technology, researchers led by a Weill Cornell Medical College scientist have pinpointed the hormone estrogen as a key player in about half of all prostate cancers. view more (2008-05-28)
Leading European Research Organisations Join Forces in EIROFORUM
Since the early 1950s, a number of powerful research infrastructures and laboratories which are used by an extensive network of scientists have been developed and deployed within Europe by European Intergovernmental Research Organisations (EIRO). Together, they represent European spearheads in some of the most crucial basic and applied research... view more... (2001-05-21)
Targeting the more lethal form of the cancer rhabdomyosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive muscle cancer that mostly affects children. The most common forms of RMS are embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS). view more (2009-05-26)
Promoting positive changes in youth -- even at-risk youth
Millions of dollars are spent annually on research to reduce risky and problem behaviors in youth. Conversely, far less has been directed toward research promoting positive development -- particularly in at-risk youth. view more (2008-04-21)
Reducing inflammation plays key role in type 1 diabetes therapy
Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have found that a triple combination therapy consisting of both tolerance-inducing and anti-inflammatory properties is successful in abolishing adverse autoimmunity against insulin-producing cells in a mouse model of Type 1 diabetes. view more (2007-08-01)
