"Sloppy Genes" Behave Like Their Neighbours: New Findings Reveal That The Regulation Of Gene Expression Is Much Less Strictly Controlled Than Was Previously Thought
The inaugural issue of Journal of Biology features groundbreaking research that challenges the traditional view of how genes are controlled. Our current understanding of gene expression, the fundamental process by which proteins are made from the instructions encoded in DNA, is that the process is tightly controlled so that the correct amount of... view more...

Drug users unaware of memory problems
Ecstasy and cannabis do impair memory - but regular users don't think so. view more (1999-03-26)
Study validates means to measure possible leukemia marker
A study led by cancer researchers at The Ohio State University has validated a method for reliably measuring variations in certain proteins that may make good biomarkers in chronic leukemia patients. view more (2009-05-01)
Post-combat syndromes are not unique to the Gulf war
Post-combat syndromes are not unique to the Gulf war, but have arisen after all major wars over the past century, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Records for 1,856 British servicemen were randomly selected from war pension files. The research team identified three clusters of post-combat syndromes - a debility syndrome (related to the Boer war... view more... (2002-02-06)
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. This article will undoubtedly bring benefit to diabetic patients. view more (2007-10-25)
OU Cancer Institute Scientists Identify New Cancer Stem Cell Marker; Developing Drug to Stop Cancer Recurrence
After years of working toward this goal, scientists at the OU Cancer Institute have found a way to isolate cancer stem cells in tumors so they can target the cells and kill them, keeping cancer from returning. view more (2008-09-12)
Heart derived stem cells develop into heart muscle
Dutch researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht and the Hubrecht Institute have succeeded in growing large numbers of stem cells from adult human hearts into new heart muscle cells. view more (2008-04-24)
Brothers in arms
A joint venture from researchers from the Helmholtz-Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig, the Otto-von-Guericke-University in Magdeburg, and the Karolinska institute in Sweden have taken an in-depth look at the connection between flu infection and pneumonia. Their results, recently released in the scientific journal "PLoS... view more... (2009-03-17)
Anesthesia or hypothermia: Warning for Alzheimer's patients
Everyone knows that its important to keep a cool head, but a new study published online in The FASEB Journal shows that for Alzheimer's patients, a cool head may make the disease worse. view more (2009-03-12)
Antibody-altering protein found in developing B cells
In order for the B cells of the immune system to identify and fight disease pathogens, they produce a protein called activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). view more (2007-07-20)
Web-wise Society launches new European chemistry network
The Network will provide links to many other useful sites as well as featuring: Major European chemical societies and organisations, including the homepage for the Federation of European Chemical Societies (FECS) Chemical initiatives and projects from the European Union Industrial and research developments across Europe... view more...

Human embryonic stem cells display a unique pattern of chemical modification to DNA
Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (BIMR) and Illumina Inc., in collaboration with stem cell researchers around the world, have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells is chemically modified in a characteristic, predictable pattern. view more (2006-08-07)
Growth in ADHD medication use due to improved ADHD identification in adult and female patients
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been traditionally viewed as a childhood disorder, while ADHD in adults has been underdiagnosed and undertreated. view more (2007-06-08)
Mayo Clinic researchers discover and manipulate molecular interplay that moves cancer cells
Based on research that reveals new insight into mechanisms that allow invasive tumor cells to move, researchers at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida have a new understanding about how to stop cancer from spreading. A cancer that spreads elsewhere in the body, known as metastasis, is the process that most often leads to death from the disease. view more (2009-03-30)
Physical exercise for life in prison
Physical exercise can play a very positive role in the daily routine of a prisoner serving a life sentence and is not just a way of keeping prisoners out of 'mischief'. view more (1999-03-26)
Microbiological Food Safety for Children and Vulnerable Groups
Young children, the elderly and other vulnerable people are more susceptible to food poisoning than the rest of the population. Here we outline who are the vulnerable groups and the precautions that should be taken, including view more (1998-10-12)
Shedding light on cancer cells
Scientists label cells with coloured or glowing chemicals to observe how basic cellular activities differ between healthy and cancerous cells. Existing techniques for labelling cells are either too slow or too toxic to perform on live cells. view more (2009-09-25)
Making sense of ADHD
The research team studied 4000 school children in two age groups, either seven to eight years or 13-14 years. Case studies were carried out on triplets of children, parents and teachers. Although all members of each triplet tended to favour 'within child' explanations as contributing towards attentional and activity difficulties, teachers and... view more... (2001-08-31)
Cell Therapy for Parkinson's Disease
According to research work at the University Hospital, cell therapy could improve many of the motor deficits of patients with Parkinson's Disease. view more (2004-05-03)
New gene discovery that stops skin cancer in its tracks
Tumour Suppressor Genes (TSGs) are important in controlling the growth of cells. Cancer is caused when cells multiply uncontrollably, so the TSGs play a vital role in stopping healthy cells from becoming cancerous. Experts already know that one particular TSG called P16 is able to stop the growth of cells in the most aggressive form of skin cancer... view more... (1999-02-22)
