New technique can be breakthrough for early cancer diagnosis
Early detection of disease is often critical to how successful treatment can be. Therefore, the development of new methods of diagnosis is a hot research field, where every small step is of great importance. In an article in the latest issue of Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, Uppsala University researchers describe a technique that the... view more... (2007-09-12)
The new source of islet cells
The shortage of islet cells limits the development of islet transplantation. One new approach was reported in the October 21 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology because of its great significance in enhancing the output of islet cells.

Aurorae and Volcanic Eruptions
Impressive thermal-infrared images have been obtained of the giant planet Jupiter during tests of a new detector in the ISAAC instrument on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory (Chile).

Chemistry & Industry Magazine - 16 August Issue
NEWS Brain’s grammar function separates us from apes (page 5) Until now there has been no comprehensive and scientific evidence to explain why monkeys and humans are so different, despite having a mere 1.23% difference in their genome but researchers in Japan have discovered that humans possess a grammar function whereas monkeys do not. It... view more... (2002-08-14)
