New chemical tool kit manipulates mitochondria, reveals insights into drug toxicity
Why do nearly 1 million people taking cholesterol-lowering statins often experience muscle cramps? Why is it that in the rare case when a diabetic takes medication for intestinal worms, his glucose levels improve? Is there any scientific basis for the purported health effects of green tea? view more (2008-02-25)
Algae understand the language of bacteria
It has hitherto not been known that higher organisms, such as green algae, can communicate with bacteria. But Debra Milton, associate professor at Ume'å University in Sweden, shows in the recent issue of the prominent journal Science that bacteria attract green algae with the aid of signal molecules. Surfaces under water are rapidly... view more... (2002-11-12)
Unicellular microRNA discovery
In the May 15th issue of Genes & Development, an international collaboration of researchers, led by Dr. Yijun Qi (National Institute of Biological Sciences, China), report on their discovery of microRNAs in the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This is the first finding of microRNAs in a unicellular organism. view more (2007-04-30)
Bound by Attention: Bringing rats and humans together
When picking through a basket of fruit, it doesn't seem very difficult to recognize a green pear from a green apple. This is easy, thanks to "feature binding"- a process by which our brain combines all of the specific features of an object and gives us a complete and unified picture of it. view more (2008-11-19)
Galaxy Zoo hunters help astronomers discover rare 'Green Pea' galaxies
A team of astronomers has discovered a group of rare galaxies called the "Green Peas" with the help of citizen scientists working through an online project called Galaxy Zoo. The finding could lend unique insights into how galaxies form stars in the early universe. view more (2009-07-28)
The invasive green mussel may inspire new forms of wet adhesion
The green mussel is known for being a notoriously invasive fouling species, but scientists have just discovered that it also has a very powerful form of adhesion in its foot, according to a recent article in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. view more (2009-08-28)
British Antarctic Survey Wins Environment Award
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS), is winner of a national "Green Apple" Gold environmental award for the successful removal of an old waste dump from Antarctica. The Green Apple Awards were presented at The House of Commons yesterday (6 November) at a prize-winning ceremony hosted by The Rt. Hon. Patricia Hewitt MP, Secretary of State... view more...

A giant sucking sound for sea turtles
Sea turtles that receive the highest protection in Costa Rica and other neighboring countries are dying by the thousands at the hands of unregulated-and unsustainable-commercial fishing in Nicaragua, according to a study by the Bronx Zoo based Wildlife Conservation Society. view more (2005-08-04)
Clemson chemists discover new way antioxidants fight debilitating diseases
Cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are often linked to DNA damage that occurs when metal ions in the body such as iron and copper produce reactive oxygen compounds that damage human cells. view more (2007-08-20)
Green Roofs Differ in Building Cooling, Water Handling Capabilities
The first study to compare the performance of different types of green roofs has been completed by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at The University of Texas at Austin and suggests that buyers shouldn't assume these roofs are created equal. view more (2008-08-13)
Growing green roofs
One way to maximize the eco-friendly factor of a structure is to include a green roof-and this doesn't refer to the paint color. view more (2009-09-04)
'Reverse' tanning process could revolutionize leather industry
'Reverse' leather tanning, which essentially works backward from the point where conventional tanning ends, saves time, money and energy while drastically slashing water use and pollution, say researchers at the Central Leather Research Institute in Adyar, India. view more (2006-01-23)
Urban green spaces lengthen pensioners' lives
The availability of nearby parks and tree-lined streets in large, densely populated cities significantly increases the longevity of pensioners, finds a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. From 1992 onwards, the researchers monitored the longevity of over 3,000 people born in 1903, 1908, 1913, and 1918. All the study... view more... (2002-11-22)
Counting semi-viable bacteria in cheese
The Wageningen researcher Christine Bunthof has developed a direct method for counting bacteria in dairy products. The method not only distinguishes viable and non-viable bacteria but also semi-viable bacteria. These are too weak to divide, but still exhibit activity. The semi-viable bacteria play an important role in cheese ripening and therefore... view more... (2002-05-23)
A few squares of dark chocolate a day may stave off artery hardening in smokers
Dark chocolate may stave off artery hardening in smokers, and a few squares every day could potentially cut the risk of serious heart disease. view more (2005-12-20)
