Detergents, eye rinses and other products with an on/off switch
Researchers in Australia have developed a "switchable" detergent with a wide range of potential applications - from a laundry detergent that hardly needs a rinse cycle to a non-irritating eye rinse to increasing the amount of oil that companies can extract from a well.   view more (2007-08-22)

Scripps research team unravels new cellular repair mechanism
The cell cycle, which allows cells to replicate their DNA and produce new cells, is controlled by a complex concert of enzymes and other components. In addition there are "checkpoint" mechanisms that can block continuation of the process if something goes amiss.   view more (2008-08-07)

Hormone irregularities linked to chronic migraine
Hormonal irregularities may explain why migraine becomes chronic, shows research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Around 3 per cent of the population are chronic migraineurs, suffering pounding headaches for around 15 days a month. Hourly blood samples were taken from 17 chronic migraine sufferers, three of whom were men.... view more... (2001-11-23)

Confusing risk information may lead to poor cancer treatment choices
A new study from researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center found that a tool commonly used by doctors to estimate the risk of a woman's breast cancer returning after surgery is not very effective at explaining risk to patients.   view more (2008-12-09)

Molecular basis for neurodegeneration in Ataxia telangiectasia
An upcoming paper from Dr. David Wassarman (University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health) in the May 1 issue of G&D lends new insight into the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration in Ataxia telangiectasia.   view more (2008-04-15)

Scientists demonstrate feasibility of preventing malaria parasite from becoming sexually mature
Researchers have demonstrated the possibility of preventing the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, which is responsible for more than a million malaria deaths a year, from becoming sexually mature.   view more (2008-06-03)

Study links obesity to elevated risk of ovarian cancer
A new epidemiological study has found that among women who have never used menopausal hormone therapy, obese women are at an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer compared with women of normal weight.   view more (2009-01-05)

Forests - just how absorbing are they?
Forests form an integral part of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change because they act as terrestrial "sinks" to soak up the carbon emissions that are contributing to global warming. Countries that have ratified the protocol can offset their carbon emissions quota by planting trees, either at home or in developing countries. But how... view more... (2003-03-13)

Health Risks of Phthalates
Phthalates, largely used as plasticisers, have long been suspected in connection with rising infertility rates, particularly among men. These substances are quite common and are considered highly hazardous to human health because they disrupt the hormonal balance and impair reproduction and development. What has not been clear up to now is the... view more... (2004-03-19)

Research shows that the Pill does not deserve its reputation for causing weight gain
Research has not proven that the Pill causes weight gain. But many women are put off using contraceptive pills because this has been listed as one of their adverse effects.   view more (2008-10-31)

Placental precursor stem cells require testosterone-free environment to survive
Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), cells found in the layer of peripheral embryonic stem cells from which the placenta is formed, are thought to exhibit "immune privilege" that aids cell survivability and is potentially beneficial for cell and gene therapies.   view more (2009-10-29)

A warmer world might not be a wetter one
A NASA study is offering new insight into how the Earth's water cycle might be influenced by global change.   view more (2005-10-17)

Hubble's main camera stops working
On Saturday 27 January, Hubble's main camera, the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), stopped working. Until a solution, at least in part, can be found, Hubble will be returned to work with the remaining instruments.   view more (2007-01-31)

New compound 'highly efficacious' at reducing human tumour growth
Innsbruck, Austria: Treatment with a new dual cell cycle and angiogenesis pathway inhibitor blocks VEGF-induced vascular permeability, inhibits tumour angiogenesis and induces apoptosis in human tumour models said Dr Gerhard Siemeister of Schering AG, Corporate Research, Berlin speaking at the 18th meeting of the European Association of Cancer... view more...

Study aims to find which breast cancer patients need chemotherapy
Most postmenopausal women with small breast tumors don't need chemotherapy to reduce their recurrence risk after lumpectomy.   view more (2007-03-13)

Scientists issue unprecedented forecast of next sunspot cycle
The next sunspot cycle will be 30 to 50 percent stronger than the last one, and begin as much as a year late, according to a breakthrough forecast using a computer model of solar dynamics developed by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo.   view more (2006-03-07)

Yeast missing sex genes undergo unexpected sexual reproduction
An emerging form of the pathogenic yeast Candida is able to complete a full sexual cycle in a test tube, even though it's missing the genes for reproduction.   view more (2009-05-26)

New isotope cluster could lead to better understanding of atmospheric carbon dioxide
A team of researchers has discovered an unexpected concentration of a certain isotopic molecule in parts of the stratosphere that could have implications for understanding the carbon cycle and its response to climate change.   view more (2009-07-15)

Faulty cell cycle checkpoints linked to lung cancer risk in African-Americans
Faulty cell cycle "checkpoints" that fail to respond to DNA damage effectively may contribute to the high incidence of lung cancer in African-Americans.   view more (2005-10-17)
