Antibiotic not sufficient for serious eye infection in communities with high disease prevalence
Treating trachoma, an eye infection that can lead to blindness, with a single mass antibiotic distribution in Ethiopian communities with high prevalence of infection is not effective in eliminating the disease. view more (2006-03-08)
LGC awarded £2m in contracts for DTI`s Measurements for Biotechnology (MfB) programme
LGC, the UK`s leading independent analytical laboratory providing chemical, biochemical and DNA analysis, has won over £2m funding in a series of eight DTI contracts spanning five themes of the Measurements for Biotechnology (MfB) programme. The two largest contracts - for improving the comparability of data generated from gene expression... view more... (2002-08-01)
Leeches provide source for cardiovascular drugs
The leech has recently confirmed its biomedical interest for scientists by showing that it contains an extensive list of new potential molecules that may become useful tools in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. view more (2005-10-26)

Potassium limitation, ammonium toxicity and amino acid excretion in yeast
As a single-celled eukaryote organism, the yeast strain S. cerevisiae has some limitations in terms of how it can be used as a model for more complex multicellular eukaryotes. view more (2006-10-17)
European scientists unite to fight diseases transmitted via animals - Zoonotic diseases.
300 of Europe's top scientists in 16 Institutes/Organisations in 10 European countries have come together to form "Med-Vet-Net". This "Virtual Institute" will, at last, create the critical mass of European scientists needed to attack the problems caused by zoonotic disease. The institute is financed by the EU and will cost... view more... (2004-09-09)
THE BIOCHEMIST - June 2002 Issue; Theme: A morbid fascination - Deadly serious
Introduction - The answer to a shortage of organs? It is a transplant surgeon's dream to find an endless supply of organs and tissues that match their recipient. The prospect of transplanting animal organs into humans (xenotransplantation) is increasingly promising, but there are still obstacles to be overcome. Not least are the weighty ethical... view more... (2002-06-06)
Precision biochemistry tracks DNA damage in fish
Like coal-mine canaries, fish DNA can serve as a measure of the biological impact of water and sediment pollution-or pollution clean-up. view more (2006-05-15)
Baby bathwater contains fragrance allergens
A group of chemists from the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) has developed a method to quantify the fragrance allergens found in baby bathwater. view more (2009-07-17)
Spit tests may soon replace many blood tests
One day soon patients may spit in a cup, instead of bracing for a needle prick, when being tested for cancer, heart disease or diabetes. A major step in that direction is the cataloguing of the "complete" salivary proteome, a set of proteins in human ductal saliva, identified by a consortium of three research teams. view more (2008-03-26)
A sweet step toward new cancer therapies
By recognizing sugars, a technique developed by University of Michigan analytical chemist Kristina Hakansson sets the stage for new cancer diagnosis and treatment options. view more (2007-04-02)
Recent advances at Institute of Food Research
The latest issue of Institute of Food Research (IFR) News (Issue 2.00) describes some of our most recent publications. Understanding Evolution: Ian Roberts and Steve James, with colleagues from the Universities of Manchester and Oxford, are trying to understand how chromosomes evolve. Their research, published in Nature, has shown that... view more... (2000-07-12)
MIT IDs link between brain tumor proteins
MIT researchers have identified a critical link between two proteins found in brain tumors, a discovery that could eventually help treat a form of brain cancer that kills 99 percent of patients. view more (2007-07-20)
Contamination from depleted uranium found in urine 20 years later
Inhaled depleted uranium (DU) oxide aerosols are recognised as a distinct human health hazard and DU has been suggested to be responsible in part for illness in both military and civilian populations that may have been exposed. view more (2007-10-24)
