MIT reports new twist in microRNA biology
MIT scientists have found a new way that DNA can carry out its work that is about as surprising as discovering that a mold used to cast a metal tool can also serve as a tool itself, with two complementary shapes each showing distinct functional roles. view more (2008-01-14)
High-resolution CT scan modeling for creating facial implants aids in facial reconstruction surgery
A preliminary study suggests that high-resolution computed tomography (CT) modeling allows surgeons to custom-design acrylic implants prior to reconstructive surgery for patients with severe defects in their faces and eye cavities. view more (2006-11-21)
Swine flu: What does it do to pigs?
The effects of H1N1 swine flu have been investigated in a group of piglets. Scientists writing in BioMed Central's open access Virology Journal studied the pathology of the virus, finding that all infected animals showed flu-like symptoms between one and four days after infection and were shedding virus two days after infection. view more (2009-05-11)
Chlamydia screening should be done every 6 months in young women
All young women up to the age of 25 should be screened for chlamydial infection at least twice a year, finds research in Sexually Transmitted Infections.

Inhaled Antibiotic For Treatment Of Early Lung Infection In Patients With Cystic Fibrosis (p 983)
Inhalation of the antibiotic tobramycin could have an important future role in reducing lung infection of patients with cystic fibrosis, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. More than 80% of patients with cystic fibrosis are chronically infected by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Infection reduces lung... view more... (2001-09-19)
Salmonella in garden birds responsive to antibiotics

In the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Toronto, Ontario, about 20% of cases resulted from household transmission (spread of the infection within a household). view more (2006-11-07)
Bioengineers develop a microfabricated device to measure cellular forces during tissue development
A University of Pennsylvania-collaboration of bioengineers studying the physical forces generated by individual cells has created a tiny micron-sized device that allows researchers to measure and manipulate cellular forces as assemblies of living cells reorganize themselves into tissues. view more (2009-06-23)
Genital infection may be linked to miscarriage
