A Zen discovery: Unrusted iron in ocean
Iron dust, the gold of the oceans and rarest nutrient for most marine life, can be washed down by rivers or blown out to sea or - a surprising new study finds - float up from the sea floor.   view more (2009-02-09)

Human sperm created from embryonic stem cells
Human sperm have been created using embryonic stem cells for the first time in a scientific development which will lead researchers to a better understanding of the causes of infertility.   view more (2009-07-08)

Studies to find better ways to preserve human eggs, ovarian tissue under way
The goal is to make human eggs, ovarian tissue, blood vessels, even whole organs available when needed.   view more (2007-06-07)

Scientists produce neurons from human skin
Scientists from Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine have succeeded in producing neurons in vitro using stem cells extracted from adult human skin.   view more (2007-02-23)

Late preterm births present serious risks to newborns
More than half a million babies are born preterm in the United States each year, and preterm births are on the rise. Late preterm births, or births that occur between 34 and 36 weeks (approximately 4 to 6 weeks before the mother's due date), account for more than 70% of preterm births.   view more (2008-12-11)

Sperm created in the laboratory from embryonic stem cells produce viable progeny
Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that embryonic stem (ES) cells cultured in the laboratory can produce sperm with the capacity to produce viable offspring.   view more (2006-07-12)

First for stem cell researcher
In an Australian-first, a UNSW researcher based at the Diabetes Transplant Unit at the Prince of Wales Hospital has produced a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line without the use of any animal products.   view more (2006-01-23)

Penn Veterinary Medicine report new strategy to create genetically modified animals
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have demonstrated the potential of a new strategy for genetic modification of large animals.   view more (2007-09-21)

Engineering Bouncing Babies, One at a Time
As hopeful moms-to-be learn, there are important considerations to the successful implantation of a fertilized human egg. A calm environment, regular hormonal injections and the timing of the implantation can all affect the outcome of an in-vitro procedure.   view more (2009-03-03)

Air dried sperm could allow home storage
Madrid, Spain: A novel method of preserving sperm through air drying is showing initial promise and has the potential to revolutionize sperm storage, allowing men awaiting in vitro fertilization (IVF) to take care of their sperm at home. Dr Daniel Imoedemhe, a consultant in reproductive medicine and endocrinology, working in Saudi Arabia, told the... view more... (2003-06-28)

Iron on its route to the sea-floor: A new path
Iron dust, the rarest nutrient for most marine life, can be washed down by rivers or blown out to sea or--a surprising new study finds--float up from the sea floor in the material spewed from hydrothermal vents.   view more (2009-02-09)

Stem cells could halt osteoporosis, promote bone growth
While interferon gamma sounds like an outer space weapon, it's actually a hormone produced by our own bodies, and it holds great promise to repair bones affected by osteoporosis.   view more (2009-03-05)

Aminoguanidine: An attractive line as a multi-modal avenue to overcome tumor
Aminoguanidine is a compound that exerts multiple biological actions. Aminoguanidine has well described antioxidant properties and is also an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthases, the enzymes that produce nitric oxide.   view more (2009-03-09)

How to select anti-hepatitis B virus agents for drug-resistance patients?
HBV infection may lead to acute liver disease, chronic active hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Over 350 million people worldwide are estimated to be infected chronically by HBV and are therefore at risk of liver failure, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma.   view more (2008-09-25)

Stem cells could reveal secrets of illness in later life
Mums to be have known for some time that what they eat when pregnant affects their unborn child but now scientists believe that the diet of our mothers during pregnancy may even affect our predisposition to illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure in late life.   view more (2004-12-24)

IVF insurance coverage yields fewer multiple births, Yale researchers find
The proportion of in vitro fertilization (IVF) multiple births was lower in the eight states that provide insurance coverage for couples seeking IVF treatment, primarily due to fewer embryos transferred per cycle.   view more (2009-10-21)

New links in the cystic fibrosis chain uncover potential therapeutics
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. Each mutation has number of effects on the cells of the lungs.   view more (2007-10-19)

First evidence that genetic imprinting occurs at earliest stage in test tube-matured eggs
Madrid, Spain: New research indicates that attempts to mature ovarian follicles in the laboratory may hit a stumbling block unless better 'growing' conditions can be identified. A French team[1] of fertility experts has revealed for the first time that maternal genetic imprinting errors can occur at the very earliest stages of egg follicle... view more... (2003-06-27)

NEOTEC programme awards the first two loans for biotechnology projects to two companies located in the Barcelona Science Park
The companies Advancell and Oryzon genomics, located in the Parc Cient'­fic de Barcelona (PCB)(Barcelona Science Park), are the first Spanish biotechnological companies to receive loans from the NEOTEC programme to carry out R+D projects. Advancell will use this loan to prepare and validate new in vitro cell models for the development of... view more... (2002-07-19)

Are men in danger of extinction?
Despite having had most of the social determinants of health in their favour, men have higher mortality rates for all 15 leading causes of death and have a life expectancy about seven years shorter than women's. An editorial in this week's BMJ asks are men in danger of extinction? Men's reluctance to embrace preventive strategies has also... view more... (2001-10-31)
