How Iron Gets into the North Pacific
Most oceanographers have assumed that, in the areas of the world's oceans known as High Nutrient, Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) regions, the iron needed to fertilize infrequent plankton blooms comes almost entirely from wind-blown dust. view more (2008-03-20)
Insulin therapy shown to treat early experimental diabetic retinopathy
Researchers will present study results that indicate that subconjunctivally delivered insulin ameliorates degenerative and inflammatory responses in diabetic rat retinas at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2007 Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. view more (2007-05-10)
Understanding Infertility - The Role of Genes in the Control of Reproduction
The problem of infertility is not confined to humans alone. There has been a noticeable decline in the reproductive ability of cattle that have been bred specifically for their high milk yields. Two scientists at Department of Animal Science and the Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research, University College Dublin have been... view more... (2003-01-21)
DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOULD LEAD TO BETTER CONTROL
A genetic test targeted at cattle could have a substantial impact in controlling sleeping sickness in east Africa, conclude authors of a fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (transmitted by the tsetse fly) is fatal if not treated. Drug treatment can be associated with... view more... (2001-12-12)
Lessons from yeast: A possible cure for Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson disease (PD) is a debilitating and lethal neurodegenerative disease, for which there is currently no cure. It is caused by the progressive loss of nerve cells that produce the chemical dopamine and is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal aggregates of a protein called alpha-syn in these dopaminergic nerve cells. view more (2008-08-15)
Laughing Gas in a Vicious Circle
Italian researchers discover another mechanism for the formation of atmospheric N2O Summer smog, the ozone hole, the greenhouse effect – the complex web of chemical reactions in the atmosphere, which leads to manifold environmental problems, is still not fully cleared up. In a tricky way, a single chemical compound is found at the center of... view more... (2001-05-15)
Is hepatic differentiation of embryonic stem cells induced by valproic acid and cytokines?
Embryonic stem (ES) cells, known for their capacity to proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into almost all types of cells including hepatocytes, have raised the hope of cellular replacement therapy for liver failure. view more (2009-11-18)
Xie Lab demonstrates the role of microRNA pathway
Ting Xie, Ph.D., Associate Investigator, and Zhigang Jin, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Xie Lab, have published results showing that the microRNA pathway is essential for controlling self-renewal of germline stem cells and somatic stem cells in the Drosophila ovary. view more (2007-02-16)
Antibody-based therapies effective at controlling malaria
Passive immunization through the development of fully human antibodies specific to Plasmodium falciparum may be effective at controlling the disease, report researchers led by Dr. Richard S. McIntosh from the University of Nottingham in a paper published this week in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens. view more (2007-05-18)
Varicocele Treatment Does Not Improve Male Fertility
Authors of a systematic review in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how a common treatment for impaired male fertility may well be ineffective. Up to 15% of men are thought to suffer from varicoceles-dilation of veins in the scrotum-which sometimes leads to lower fertility because of decreased sperm quality and quantity arising from... view more...

It takes a thief to know a thief
Mental time-travel, the ability to use memories of past experiences and plan for the future, has traditionally been considered a quality unique to humans. Now scientists at the University of Cambridge have identified the same ability in a bird - the Western Scrub Jay, a US native similar to the British jay. view more (2001-11-21)
Groundbreaking research highlights myriad health benefits of flavanol-rich cocoa
Research has demonstrated that consumption of naturally occurring compounds in cocoa can lead to a range of circulatory health benefits including the first observed brain and cardiovascular blood flow improvements. view more (2006-07-26)
Peregrine's PS-targeting antibodies highlighted in AACR Annual Meeting studies
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPHM), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of cancer and serious virus infections, today reported that two preclinical studies presented during the AACR 100th Annual Meeting 2009 provided further confirmation of the immunomodulatory mechanisms... view more...

HIV-1 : RECOMBINATION BETWEEN TWO STRAINSFROM WIDELY DISTANT GROUPS
Scientists have known for a long time that the AIDS virus is genotypically highly variable. Two main types of the virus exist: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1, the most widespread throughout the world, can be divided into three groups (M, N and O) each of which has different genetic characteristics. Within group M, which gathers together the most frequent... view more... (2000-03-09)
Inhibitory systems control the pattern of activity in the cortex
Inhibitory systems are essential for controlling the pattern of activity in the cortex, which has important implications for the mechanisms of cortical operation, according to a Yale School of Medicine study in Neuron. view more (2005-08-29)
Cracking the egg
Sexual reproduction is not necessarily sexy (especially when scientists start analyzing it), but it is fascinating. As we all know, the basics entail bringing together an egg and a sperm, a whole lot of cell division and growth, and sooner or later a young organism that carries a mix of genes from both parents. view more (2006-10-04)
p90RSK: A new therapeutic target for liver fibrosis?
Cirrhosis is a world wide, bad prognosis liver disease and characterized by excessive collagen deposition and liver function damage. view more (2009-05-13)
A potential molecular target for biotherapy esophageal squamous cell carcinomas
The cadherin superfamily has a correlate relationship with the invasion and metastasis of carcinoma. view more (2009-02-19)
Anticancer drugs might be of benefit to sickle-cell patients
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder caused by a genetic mutation that leads to the generation of a mutant form of the beta-globin chain of hemoglobin (Hb). view more (2007-12-07)
The physics of muck spreading
Physicists have to tread carefully when it comes to fertiliser, but the first tentative steps to a better understanding of the ancient art of fertilising the soil are described in a paper published today in the Institute of Physics publication, The Journal of Measurement Science and Technology. Frederic Cointault, Philippe Sarrazin and Michel... view more... (2002-06-18)
