Can senile amyloidosis spread from mother to offspring? Researchers have demonstrated spread of senile amyloidosis from affected mice to their nursing offspring. view more (2006-05-01)
Bursting buds are dicing with death Scientists from the John Innes Centre (JIC), Norwich (1) have today reported that highly toxic compounds, called free radicals, are essential to plant growth. The researchers had found that the controlled production of free radicals is an essential first step in switching on the expansion of cells... view more (2003-03-26)
Quantum dot method rapidly identifies bacteria A rapid method for detecting and identifying very small numbers of diverse bacteria, from anthrax to E. coli, has been developed by scientists from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2006-03-31)
Ring-like formations in drying DNA drops could affect hybridization studies Coffee drinkers are familiar with the ring-shaped stains that result from spilled drops that have dried, in which the brown stain is not evenly distributed, but instead concentrated at the edge. view more (2006-05-12)
UC Irvine scientists unveil the 'face' of a new memory A century-old dream of neuroscientists to visualize a memory has been fulfilled, as University of California, Irvine researchers, using newly developing microscopic techniques, have captured first-time images of the changes in brain cell connections following a common form of learning. view more (2007-07-25)
Nanoscale dimensioning is fast, cheap with new NIST optical technique A novel technique under development at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses a relatively inexpensive optical microscope to quickly and cheaply analyze nanoscale dimensions with nanoscale measurement sensitivity. view more (2008-10-30)
Northwestern team develops 'MRI' for fuel cells As gasoline prices top $3 a gallon in major cities, the drive toward increasing energy efficiency and reducing air pollution has accelerated, and the development of fuel cells has become a major focus worldwide. view more (2006-06-19)
Tiny protein provokes healthy bonding between cells In human relationships, a certain "spark" often governs whether we prefer one person to another, and critical first impressions can occur within seconds. A team lead by Johns Hopkins researchers has found that cell-to-cell "friendships" operate in much the same way and that... view more (2008-11-26)
Heidelberg Virologists Make HIV Luminate A working group of virologists headed by Professor Hans-Georg Kr'¤usslich at Heidelberg University Hospitals, jointly with Professor Hanswalter Zentgraf, Division of Applied Tumor Virology of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, DKFZ), have been the first to label... view more (2005-02-28)
NYU, Austrian researchers create non-invasive imaging method with advantages over conventional MRI New York University's Alexej Jerschow, an assistant professor of chemistry, and Norbert Müller, a professor of chemistry at the University of Linz in Austria, have developed a completely non-invasive imaging method. view more (2006-04-25)
Novel biomarker for prediction of survival in colorectal carcinomas revealed Levels of a protein called thymidylate synthase (TS) within two separate compartments of a tumor cell-the nucleus and the cytoplasm-may be critical markers predicting survival in colorectal cancer, according to a study at Yale University School of Medicine. view more (2006-09-14)
A tiny protein plays a big role in DNA repair Two of DNA's worst enemies, ultraviolet light and chemical carcinogens, can wreak havoc on the molecule by mutating individual nucleotides or changing its physical structure. view more (2006-05-09)
Purdue engineers solve chaos mystery in use of high-tech microscope Mechanical engineers at Purdue University have proven that the same sort of "deterministic chaos" behind the baffling uncertainties of the stock market and long-term weather conditions also interferes with measurements taken with a commonly used scientific instrument. view more (2006-01-20)
Mouse model of osteoarthritis and more: Press release for PLoS Biology Mouse model of osteoarthritis view more (2004-10-12)
Scientists peel away the mystery behind gold's catalytic prowess Few materials have exercised as much of a hold on the human imagination, or on human history, as has gold. view more (2008-09-05)
UQ scientists break new ground in fight against infection & chronic disease University of Queensland (UQ) researchers are on track to develop new treatments for acute infections, chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer. view more (2005-11-30)
New 'superlens' reveals hidden nanostructures A microscope used to scan nanostructures can be dramatically enhanced by using a 'superlens,' reports an international team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biochemistry and The University of Texas at Austin in this week's issue of Science. view more (2006-09-15)
Scientists find how neural activity spurs blood flow in the brain New research from Harvard University neuroscientists has pinpointed exactly how neural activity boosts blood flow to the brain. The finding has important implications for our understanding of common brain imaging techniques such as fMRI, which uses blood flow in the brain as a proxy for neural... view more (2008-06-26)
New imaging approach promises insights into multiple sclerosis Researchers have developed a way to use three types of microscopic imaging techniques simultaneously to analyze living tissue and learn more about the molecular mechanisms of multiple sclerosis, information that could help lead to earlier detection and new treatments. view more (2007-04-18)
Run amok enzyme causes same problems in both humans and fruit flies An enzyme found at elevated levels in several human cancers has been linked to abnormal tumor growth in fruit flies, a discovery that provides a new model for understanding the link between stem cell biology and cancer, according to researchers at the University of Oregon. view more (2006-12-19)
University of Pennsylvania engineers discover natural 'workbench' for nanoscale construction Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have taken a step toward simplifying the creation of nanostructures by identifying the first inorganic material to phase separate with near-perfect order at the nanometer scale. view more (2007-07-18)
Porphyrin electron-transfer reactions observed at the molecular level Researchers at Temple University have observed and documented electron transfer reactions on an electrode surface at the single molecule level for the first time, a discovery which could have future relevance to areas such as molecular electronics, electrochemistry, biology, catalysis, information... view more (2007-08-03)
New Microwave Dielectric Resonator Materials for Wireless Communication - The Physics Congress 2003 A new group of ceramic materials could lead to more reliable and clearer microwave communication signals, according to engineers at South Bank University, London, speaking at the Institute of Physics Congress at Heriot-Watt University on Wednesday 26 March. view more (2003-03-17)
How a locust's eardrum could lead to tiny microphones Being able to hear the smallest of noises is a matter of life or death for many insects, but for the scientists studying their hearing systems understanding how insect ears can be so sensitive could lead to new microphones able to capture and analyse extremely faint sounds. view more (2006-03-31)
