First steps to EMBO research awards agreed by the EMBC
At the summer meeting of the European Molecular Biology Conference (the EMBC), it was decided to initiate the process of launching an EMBO Research Award Programme. This would be a major expansion of the EMBO activities that are predominantly funded by the EMBC. As such, it requires the establishment of a special project, a process that was used with success when the EMBC established the European... View More (2003-07-01)

Royal Entomological Society Awards For The Best Entomological Publications
The Royal Entomological Society have established a series of awards for the best papers published in their six scientific journals over the preceding two years. The winners are decided by the Editors and Editorial Board of each of three journals each year. This year the journals selected are: Agricultural and Forest Entomology - The following paper has been awarded the best paper published in... View More (2002-06-20)


UT Southwestern researchers identify key molecular step to fighting off viruses
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have determined how a protein that normally latches onto molecules inside cells and marks them for destruction also gives life to the body's immune response against viruses. View More (2010-04-22)


U Alberta-led team studies T cell activation with nanoparticles
A University of Alberta-led research team has taken a major step forward in understanding how T cells are activated in the course of an immune response by combining nanotechnology and cell biology. T cells are the all important trigger that starts the human body's response to infection.  View More (2010-04-29)


Launch of the first standard graphical notation for biology
Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and their colleagues in 30 labs worldwide have released a new set of standards for graphically representing biological information - the biology equivalent of the circuit diagram in electronics. View More (2009-08-12)


TARA OCEANS completes 60 000-mile journey to map marine biodiversity

How cells export and embed proteins in the membrane
Like an overprotective parent on the first day of school, a targeting factor sometimes needs a little push to let go of its cargo. Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Grenoble, France, have visualised one such hand-over.  View More (2010-12-14)


Protein discovery could unlock the secret to better TB treatment
UCL scientists have found a protein that could unlock the secret to quicker, more effective treatment of TB by waking TB bacteria in the body. Once the TB bacteria are active again, the disease becomes treatable using common drugs like antibiotics. Scientists believe that uncovering the molecular structure of this protein will lead the way to designing drugs which enable treatment of dormant and... View More (2005-02-28)


Molecular fossils uncover link between viruses and the immune system
Researchers from the Viikki Biocenter, University of Helsinki, show that atomic structures can reveal evolutionary history of viruses in a similar fashion as fossils did for the dinosaurs and reptiles. Their article is published in the April 15 issue of Molecular Cell. View More (2005-04-14)


Gene therapy breakthrough offers hope to patients with inherited high cholesterol levels
New research published in BMC Molecular Biology explains how a new technique for introducing genes into mammalian cells using the virus responsible for warts could be a major step forward in developing gene therapy treatments for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disease that affects around 12 million people worldwide. People with FH have a genetic defect that prevents... View More (2002-05-14)


What did the scientist say to the sommelier? 'Show me the proof!'
What does lemon pan sauce chicken have to do with biochemistry and molecular biology? If you ask the students in Joseph Provost's class at Minnesota State University Moorhead, they'll tell you that successful execution of the dish requires the Maillard reaction, a chemical process that's responsible for the flavors and colors in a variety of food, including toast and maple syrup.  View More (2012-04-23)
