Low-cost Parkinson's disease diagnostic test a world first
Scientists at Melbourne 's Howard Florey Institute have developed a cost-effective diagnostic test for Parkinson's disease (PD), which will also assist researchers to understand the genetic basis of PD and to undertake large-scale studies to identify the genes that cause this debilitating condition.   view more (2007-02-26)

MIT's nanoprinter could mass-produce nano-devices
Just as the printing press revolutionized the creation of reading matter, a "nano-printing" technique developed at MIT could enable the mass production of nano-devices currently built one at a time.   view more (2005-06-08)

Gene chip discovery may lead to individualized treatment for 5 hereditary liver diseases
Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have developed the first gene chip to use in the early diagnosis of at least five hereditary liver diseases, to detect genetic causes of jaundice in children and adults, and potentially to lead to personalized treatment options.   view more (2006-12-26)

'Lab on a chip' mimics brain chemistry
Johns Hopkins researchers from the Whiting School of Engineering and the School of Medicine have devised a micro-scale tool - a lab on a chip - designed to mimic the chemical complexities of the brain. The system should help scientists better understand how nerve cells in the brain work together to form the nervous system.   view more (2008-02-13)

The UK Must Exploit Its Strengths In Silicon Chip Design Or Lose Out In Global Computing Market
Urgent action by Government and business is needed to prevent substantial scientific and commercial opportunities in the international computing market being squandered. This call is made in Chips for Everything: Britain's opportunities in a key global market, a report from the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, published today.... view more...

Study identifies common flaws in oncology microarray studies
A substantial percentage of microarray-based studies in oncology contain critical flaws in analysis or in their conclusions, reports a study in the January 17 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.   view more (2007-01-17)

New 167-processor Chip Is Super-fast, Ultra Energy-efficient
A new, extremely energy-efficient processor chip that provides breakthrough speeds for a variety of computing tasks has been designed by a group at UC Davis. The chip, dubbed AsAP, is ultra-small, fully reprogrammable and highly configurable, so it can be widely adapted to a number of applications.   view more (2009-04-22)

New diagnostic tool brings effective treatment closer to cancer patients
Significant progress towards identifying the genetic make-up of individual tumours, hence allowing treatment choices to be made based on personalised information, was announced at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference today. Dr. Alane Koki, Chief Scientific Officer of Ipsogen, a French biotechnology company, told a news briefing that, subject... view more... (2004-03-15)

Scientists in America have made the first steps in identifying a group of genes which may be involved in the progression of breast cancer from non-invasive to invasive, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona heard today (Thursday 21 March).   view more (2002-03-19)

Gene chip data improved therapy in some patients with incurable cancer
Like many oncologists, Eric P. Lester, M.D., was faced with a dilemma: seven patients with advanced, incurable cancer, an arsenal of drugs that may or may not help them, and not enough solid proof about treatment efficacy to guide him.   view more (2007-09-20)

Deep and Crisp and Eaten: Scotland's Deep- Fried Mars Bar
Scotland has had a reputation as the home of the deep-fried Mars bar for many years. Researchers Dr Mark Petticrew, from the University of Glasgow, and Dr David Morrison had never actually seen them for sale but after a recent mention by Jay Leno, host of NBC's Tonight Show they set out to find if it is myth or fact.   view more (2004-12-17)

'Virus chip' detects new virus in prostate tumors
UCSF and Cleveland Clinic scientists have discovered a new virus in human prostate tumors. The type of virus, closely related to viruses typically found in mice, has never been detected in humans.   view more (2006-02-27)
