A Grab for Iron - Breakthrough for Innsbruck Scientists
Nearly all organisms need iron to survive, even mould. For people with a weakened immune system such fungi pose a deadly threat. Scientists from Innsbruck (Austria) have now been able to genetically block the iron metabolism of Aspergillus fumigatus mould and thus render it harmless to humans. This discovery opens up completely new paths for... view more... (2004-10-25)
Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology. view more (2007-04-25)
Zebrafish to shed light on human mitochondrial diseases
Zebrafish can now be used to study COX deficiencies in humans, a discovery that gives scientists an unprecedented window to view the earliest stages of mitochondrial impairments that lead to potentially fatal metabolic disorders. view more (2007-09-14)
Rethinking the genetic theory of inheritance
Scientists at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have detected evidence that DNA may not be the only carrier of heritable information; a secondary molecular mechanism called epigenetics may also account for some inherited traits and diseases. view more (2009-01-20)
Transgenic songbirds provide new tool to understand the brain
You can learn a lot from an animal. By manipulating the DNA of mice, flies, frogs and worms, scientists have discovered a great deal about the genes and molecules behind many of life's essential processes. view more (2009-09-29)
Penn Researchers Identify First Sex Chromosome Gene Involved in Meiosis and Male Infertility
A team of scientists led by University of Pennsylvania veterinary researchers have identified a gene, TEX11, located on the X chromosome, which when disrupted in mice renders the males sterile and reduces female fecundity. This is the first study of the genetic causes of infertility that links a particular sex chromosome meiosis-specific gene to... view more... (2008-03-17)
European researchers launch 10 million Euro collaborative technology project
European researchers launch 10 million Euro collaborative technology project: EMBL-Hamburg coordinates a four-year integrated research project within the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission: The European Commission has given Europe a huge boost in the field of Structural Genomics, awarding the European Molecular Biology Laboratory... view more...

Possible safer target for anti-clotting drugs found
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have identified a new molecular target in blood clot formation, which seems to reduce clotting without excessive bleeding, the common side-effect of anti-clotting agents. view more (2007-09-27)
New deal between top UK and US research laboratories
A major new US/UK research collaboration focusing on identifying new health products from plants has been launched. The CNAP research group at the University of York is to work with the Oklahoma-based Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation. The joint research programme will be carried out in the Noble Laboratory, newly established in the new £25... view more... (2003-03-17)
Tracing the formation of long-term memory
The formation of long-term memory in fruit flies can be demonstrated by the influx of calcium into cells called mushroom body neurons that occurs after special training that includes periods of rest, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in a report that appears in the current issue of the journal Neuron. view more (2006-12-07)
Teachers get a taste of their own medicine in Heidelberg at the weekend
123 teachers from 20 countries met in Heidelberg last weekend for the European Molecular Biology Organizations (EMBO) second international teachers workshop,and brushed up their knowledge of modern biology. Everyone who participated was very enthusiastic about the event, which covered both the theoretical and practical aspectsof science... view more... (2003-05-27)
What Are Muscle Proteins Doing in the Nucleus?
The proteins actin and myosin have a firm place in the muscles where they are responsible for contraction. While recent investigations have shown that they are also found in the nucleus, it has been unclear to date just what they are doing there. Now an international team of investigators headed by Professor Dr. Ingrid Grummt, head of the Division... view more... (2005-02-01)
Study shows blood markers can help choose best dose for antiangiogenic drugs
Scientists at Sunnybrook have new information that may help to improve the use of anti-cancer drugs designed to block the growth of new blood vessels in tumors, a process called angiogenesis that is critical to tumor growth. view more (2007-10-26)
Unraveling the viral mechanism
Using powerful computer tools and cryo-electron microscopes, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine unmasked the secrets of a tiny virus that infects bacteria and, in doing so, opened the door to a better understanding of a variety of viruses that infect people and animals. view more (2006-02-02)
Key protein that may cause cancer cell death identified
Researchers at A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) have become the first to discover and characterize a human protein called Bax-beta (Baxβ), which can potentially cause the death of cancer cells and lead to new approaches in cancer treatment. view more (2009-01-20)
College science success linked to math and same-subject preparation
Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Virginia have found that high school coursework in one of the sciences generally does not predict better college performance in other scientific disciplines. view more (2007-07-27)
Scientists explain how 'death receptors' designed to kill our cells may make them stronger
It turns out that from the perspective of cell biology, Nietzsche may have been right after all: that which does not kill us does make us stronger. view more (2009-06-02)
Study shows how daughter is different from mother
The mother-daughter relationship can be difficult to understand. Why are the two so different? Now a Northwestern University study shows how this happens. In yeast cells, that is. view more (2008-08-19)
How butterflies got their spots: A 'supergene' controls wing pattern diversity
Butterflies are known to employ some interesting convergent evolutionary tactics to survive-some nonpoisonous species have similar wing patterns to those of noxious species that predators avoid. view more (2006-09-26)
Scientists equip bacteria with custom chemo-navigational system
Using an innovative method to control the movement of Escherichia coli in a chemical environment, Emory University scientists have opened the door to powerful new opportunities in drug delivery, environmental cleanup and synthetic biology. view more (2007-05-11)
