Scientists determine structure of brain receptor implicated in epilepsy and PMT
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have published new research in the journal Molecular Pharmacology identifying the structure of a receptor in the brain implicated in conditions such as epilepsy and pre-menstrual tension. The same receptor has also been reported to be highly sensitive to... view more... (2008-03-10)
Researchers demonstrate use of gold nanoparticles for cancer detection
Binding gold nanoparticles to a specific antibody for cancer cells could make cancer detection much easier, say medical researchers from the University of California, San Francisco and Georgia Institute of Technology. view more (2005-06-03)
'Nanodrop' test tubes created with a flip of a switch
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new device that creates nanodroplet "test tubes" for studying individual proteins under conditions that mimic the crowded confines of a living cell. view more (2008-04-16)
Chinese Academy of Sciences Vice-President Wins Major Award. Professor Chunli Bai to Receive 2001 SCI International Medal
Professor Chunli Bai, Vice-President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has been announced as recipient of the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) International Medal for 2001. The medal will be presented on October 4 2001, followed by the International Medal Lecture, at SCI International Headquarters in Belgrave Square, London. The... view more... (2001-08-21)
A new light on the anti-tumor mechanisms of Scutellaria barbata
Medicinal plants have been used as traditional remedies for hundreds of years. Among them, S. barbata has been traditionally used in treatment of hepatitis, inflammation, osteomyelitis and gynecological diseases in China. view more (2009-01-05)
Microscope to aid shell-fishing industry
Groundbreaking research by University of Plymouth experts into the detection of harmful species of algae has helped develop a unique microscope, which could dramatically decrease cases of poisoning from contaminated shellfish. The HAB (harmful algae blooms)-Buoy is an innovative project, funded by the European Union, involving Dr Phil Culverhouse,... view more... (2003-05-29)
Bacteria and nanofilters - the future of clean water technology
Bacteria often get bad press, with those found in water often linked to illness and disease. But researchers at The University of Nottingham are using these tiny organisms alongside the very latest membrane filtration techniques to improve and refine water cleaning technology. view more (2008-02-25)
Scientists build 'magnetic semiconductors' one atom at a time
In a stride that could hasten the development of computer chips that both calculate and store data, a team of Princeton scientists has turned semiconductors into magnets by the precise placement of metal atoms within a material from which chips are made. view more (2006-07-28)
Rapid movements of living biomolecules visualised
Dutch researcher Chris Molenaar has made the rapid movements of proteins, DNA and RNA molecules visible in living cells. With this technique researchers can study the dynamics of biomolecules in their natural environment. Molenaar developed a method which makes it possible to follow the movements of RNA molecules in living cells. The researcher... view more... (2003-06-24)
Video shows buckyballs form by 'shrink wrapping'
The birth secret of buckyballs -- hollow spheres of carbon no wider than a strand of DNA -- has been caught on tape by researchers at Sandia National Laboratory and Rice University. An electron microscope video and computer simulations show that "shrink-wrapping" is the key; buckyballs start life as distorted, unstable sheets of... view more... (2007-10-29)
Researchers image molecular motor structural changes
An international team of researchers has shed new light on how tiny molecular motors that transport materials within cells generate the energy that powers their movements. view more (2006-09-15)
Signaling proteins may represent biomarkers for melanoma
For the first time, researchers studying patients with abnormal moles have identified proteins that could help predict whether such moles will progress into melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. view more (2006-04-06)
Magnet Lab researchers make observing cell functions easier
Now that the genome (DNA) of humans and many other organisms have been sequenced, biologists are turning their attention to discovering how the many thousands of structural and control genes -- the "worker bees" of living cells that can turn genes on and off -- function. view more (2008-05-09)
Cell phones using lens-free imaging promise to improve health monitoring
Cell phones have already revolutionized the way people around the world communicate and do business. Thanks to advances being made at UCLA, they are about to do the same thing for medicine. view more (2008-12-23)
Speed bumps less important than potholes for graphene
For electrical charges racing through an atom-thick sheet of graphene, occasional hills and valleys are no big deal, but the potholes-single-atom defects in the crystal-they're killers. view more (2007-07-13)
Gold bowties may shed light on molecules and other nano-sized objects
One of the great challenges in the field of nanotechnology is optical imaging-specifically, how to design a microscope that produces high-resolution images of the nano-sized objects that researchers are trying to study. view more (2005-08-31)
University of Saskatchewan and Canadian Synchrotron researchers shed light on esophageal disease
Canadian Light Source (CLS) staff scientist Luca Quaroni and Dr. Alan Casson, Head of the Department of Surgery at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) used the synchrotron's infrared microscope to identify tissue afflicted with a condition known as Barrett's Esophagus from chemical fingerprints associated with the disease, which can lead to... view more...

Automated microfluidic device reduces time to screen small organisms for genetic studies
Genetic studies on small organisms such as worms and flies can now be done more quickly using a new microfluidic device developed by engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. view more (2008-06-24)
FISH on a chip offers quicker, less costly cancer diagnosis
For the first time an important diagnostic test for cancer has been miniaturized and automated onto a microfluidic chip by a team of University of Alberta researchers in Edmonton, Canada. view more (2007-06-20)
£21M for Tomorrow's Technology: Research Councils UK News Release
Research Councils UK announces seven projects to benefit from latest round of funding for Basic Technology Programme. Computer codes that defy the fraudster, more efficient ways of diagnosing and treating disease and new techniques in oil exploration. These are just some of the potential benefits to society of the next seven research projects... view more... (2003-01-15)
