Research into viral infections: Cardiff University enters agreement with Glaxo Wellcome Inc.
The collaboration is based on the work of the research group of Professor Chris McGuigan at Cardiff University's Welsh School of Pharmacy, which has discovered a new method for inserting charged molecules into living cells. The Cardiff team is collaborating with virologists at the Rega Institute1 in Belgium on this invention, which may have major... view more... (1999-07-20)

atugen AG demonstrates in vivo proof-of-concept in siRNA therapeutics
Berlin, 11 May 2004 - atugen AG, The Gene Silencing Company, announced today that it has demonstrated, in vivo, proof-of-concept in functional delivery of its highly stable siRNA therapeutics. In a series of repeat studies to test glucose tolerance in normal rodents, atugen's siRNA therapy was shown to be effective in regulating blood sugar... view more... (2004-05-11)

Theory shows mechanism behind delayed development of antibiotic resistance
Inhibiting the "drug efflux pumps" in bacteria, which function as their defence mechanisms against antibiotics, can mask the effect of mutations that have led to resistance in the form of low-affinity drug binding to target molecules in the cell.   view more (2009-05-06)

Unusually stable glasses may benefit drugs, coatings
Just spray and chill. That sums up a new approach to making remarkably stable glassy materials from organic (carbon-containing) molecules that could lead to novel coatings and to improvements in drug delivery.   view more (2006-12-11)

Molecular spintronic action confirmed in nanostructure
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made the first confirmed "spintronic" device incorporating organic molecules, a potentially superior approach for innovative electronics that rely on the spin, and associated magnetic orientation, of electrons.   view more (2006-10-13)

Scientists at VTT and the University of Florida take immunotechnology to a new level
Scientists at VTT and the University of Florida take immunotechnology to a new level Mimicking the cell walls transport system by biocoated nanotubes opens novel possibilities for numerous applications Living cells transport selectively molecules in and out through their cell walls. This process is remarkably accurate and efficient. In... view more... (2002-07-04)

Flip-Flopped Chromosome Reveals a First Clue to Tourette Syndrome

Step forward for nanotechnology: Controlled movement of molecules
Scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting an advance toward overcoming one of the key challenges in nanotechnology: Getting molecules to move quickly in a desired direction without help from outside forces.   view more (2009-10-01)

Solution to elusive problem
Scientists at the University of Leicester are on the way to solving a problem that has long beset chemists trying to study chemical reactions. To establish reaction mechanisms the observation of reaction intermediates is vital, but they are incredibly short-lived under normal conditions, and therefore difficult to detect.   Freezing... view more...

Argonne scientists develop techniques for creating molecular movies
They may never win an Oscar, but scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed techniques for creating accurate movies of biological and chemical molecules, a feat only theorized up until now.   view more (2008-04-16)

A pathway towards cures for Parkinson`s and cancer
Researchers studying the Hedgehog signaling pathway have identified small molecules that could form the foundations of exciting new treatments for Parkinson's disease and certain cancers. New research published in Journal of Biology - the open access journal for exceptional research - has identified small molecules that are able to stimulate or... view more... (2002-11-01)

Computer predicts reactions between molecules and surfaces, with 'chemical precision'
Good news for heterogeneous catalysis and the hydrogen economy: computers can now be used to make accurate predictions of the reactions of (hydrogen) molecules with surfaces. An international team of researchers, headed by Leiden theoretical chemist Geert-Jan Kroes, published on this subject this week in the journal Science.    view more (2009-11-09)

Plastic-Protein Hybrid Materials
Enzymatic films for bioactive surfaces We encounter them every day in laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, or shower gel: surfactants - surface-active substances. Surfactants belong to a category of molecules called amphiphiles, molecular hermaphrodites consisting of a water-loving (hydrophilic) "head" and a water-hating (hydrophobic) "tail".... view more...

Hankering for molecular electronics? Grab the new NIST sandwich
The sandwich recipe recently concocted by scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may prove tasty for computer chip designers, who have long had an appetite for molecule-sized electronic components - but no clear way to satisfy it until now.   view more (2009-08-27)

Research could help finger more criminals
Scientists at the University of Sunderland are working on new technology that could help police forces catch criminals, by providing more clear and detailed fingerprints. Researchers at the university's School of Health, Natural & Social Sciences are developing what's known as a nanoparticle suspension, which could be a major breakthrough for... view more...

Genetically engineered blood protein can be used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen
Scientists have combined two molecules that occur naturally in blood to engineer a molecular complex that uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.   view more (2006-12-01)

An obstacle to cancer cells
The circulation of cancer cells through the blood vessels is often the cause of metastasis. These cancer cells contaminate normal cells and the pathology spreads throughout the body.   view more (2005-12-19)

Measurements may help show if constants are changing
Physicists at JILA have performed the first-ever precision measurements using ultracold molecules, in work that may help solve a long-standing scientific mystery-whether so-called constants of nature have changed since the dawn of the universe.   view more (2006-05-01)
