WHEN AN EARTHWORM DOES AS MUCH DAMAGE TO SOILS AS A BULLDOZER
The transformation of wet tropical forest into pastures causes profound changes in the physical structure of soils by favouring compaction. Such densification asphyxiates the soil. It is generally attributed to the compression caused by heavy machinery used for deforestation and in the creation of pastures and subsequently to trampling by cattle.... view more... (1999-05-11)
Putting a Korset on the spread of computer viruses
Anti-virus companies play a losing game. Casting their nets wide, they catch common, malicious viruses and worms (known to the industry as "malware"), but it may take days before their software updates can prepare your computer for the next attack. view more (2008-09-10)

Many longtime sailors have been mesmerized by the dazzling displays of green light often seen below the ocean surface in tropical seas. view more (2009-04-02)
Insects implicated in the evolution of new human infectious diseases
Insects and other invertebrates are the arena for the evolution of new infectious diseases in humans, new research shows. view more (2004-10-25)
No single gene for ageing
According to professor Thomas Kirkwood of the University of Newcastle, there is no single gene for ageing. view more (2005-09-13)
Scientists discover age-regulated cellular activities that protect against protein aggregation
Alzheimer's disease now strikes more than one in 30 Americans, and about half the population that lives past 85 acquires Alzheimer's. view more (2006-08-14)
Life's a beach
Scientists at Plymouth Marine Laboratory are developing new methods to rapidly assess the biodiversity of living organisms on beaches and other marine environments. They have already found many new creatures which have not been classified in previous studies. view more (2004-08-25)
Coral reef fish harbor an unexpectedly high biodiversity of parasites
IRD researchers showed that Epinephilus maculates, a fairly abundant species of grouper off New Caledonia, was parasitized by 12 species of microscopic monogenean worms. view more (2007-09-06)
New solutions to an age-old problem
Unique gathering of UK scientists, policy makers and leading figures in ageing research No one welcomes the physical effects of getting older yet we all want to live a long and active life. On November 12th the UK National Collaboration on Ageing Research will be launched in Birmingham. This new partnership is between four of the UK's Research... view more... (2001-11-02)
Scientists find molecular trigger that helps prevent aging and disease
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine set out to address a question that has been challenging scientists for years: How do dietary restriction-and the reverse, overconsumption-produce protective effects against aging and disease? view more (2009-11-19)
First national programme to combat Schistosomiasis launched in Uganda
The first national programme to tackle schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa will be launched today in Uganda by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Schistosomiasis, also known as Bilharzia, is a chronic parasitic disease that affects around 200 million people worldwide, causing liver damage and potentially death. The Ugandan initiative is the... view more... (2003-03-04)
New clues to how sex evolves
Sex is a boon to evolution; it allows genetic material from parents to recombine, giving rise to a unique new genome. But how did sex itself evolve\\\ view more (2006-12-05)
Pathway to cell death redefined in landmark study
A new study led by investigators from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine demonstrates that the process of necrosis, long thought to be a chaotic, irreversible pathway to cell death, may actually be triggered as part of a regulated response to stress by a powerful protein, SRP-6, that can potentially halt necrosis in its path. view more (2007-09-21)
Snails and humans use same genes to tell right from left
Biologists have tracked down genes that control the handedness of snail shells, and they turn out to be similar to the genes used by humans to set up the left and right sides of the body. view more (2008-12-22)
Grant of £20 million to establish the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative to give hope to developing countries
Imperial College London today announced that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has given a grant of $30 million (£20 million) to establish the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI), a partnership at Imperial College London including the foundation, the World Health Organization and the Harvard School of Public... view more...

A 'traffic light' for neurons means 'go' for improving brain research
Every thought, feeling and action originates from the electrical signals emitted by diverse brain cells enmeshed in a tangle of circuits. At this fundamental level, scientists struggle to explain the mind. view more (2007-04-05)
Giant Deep-Sea Tubeworm's Meal Ticket Comes in as a Skin Infection
Giant tubeworms found near hydrothermal vents more than a mile below the ocean surface do not bother to eat: lacking mouth and stomach, they stand rooted to one spot. view more (2006-05-22)
Trichoplax genome sequenced -- 'rosetta stone' for understanding evolution
Yale molecular and evolutionary biologists in collaboration with Department of Energy scientists produced the full genome sequence of Trichoplax, one of nature's most primitive multicellular organisms, providing a new insight into the evolution of all higher animals. view more (2008-09-04)
SLU scientists have identified the first gene regulating programmed cell death in plant embryos
A research team at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU, has succeeded in isolating a novel gene that regulates cell death in plant embryos. This is a world first. The team consists of scientists from the Department of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics, headed by Peter Bozhkov and Sara von Arnold. The team has discovered... view more... (2004-06-01)
Waterborne infectious diseases could soon be consigned to history, says expert
Waterborne infectious diseases, which bring death and illness to millions of people around the world, could largely be consigned to history by 2015 if global health partnerships integrate their programmes. view more (2006-08-25)
