Mitochondrial dysfunction and redox signaling in atrial tachyarrhythmia
Researchers at the University Hospital of Magdeburg (Germany) have discovered that atrial tachycardia is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress followed by the activation of the NF-kB signalling pathway with induction of NF-kB target gene expression in atrial tissue. view more (2008-04-24)
Hormone helps mice 'hibernate,' survive starvation
A key hormone enables starving mice to alter their metabolism and "hibernate" to conserve energy, revealing a novel molecular target for drugs to treat human obesity and metabolic disorders, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2007-06-06)
Using combinatorial libraries to engineer genetic circuits advances synthetic biology
Streamlining the construction of synthetic gene networks has led a team of Boston University researchers to develop a technique that couples libraries of diversified components with computer modeling to guide predictable gene network construction without the back and forth tweaking. view more (2009-04-23)
University of Sussex launches world's first degree programme in 'seed banking'
Biologists are being offered the chance to help save the planet by enrolling in an innovative new postgraduate degree at the University of Sussex this autumn. Together with the world-renowned Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the University is to offer the world's first degree programme in 'seed banking', which includes strategies for safeguarding the... view more...

Uncovering the molecular basis of obesity
Why does the same diet make some of us gain more weight than others? view more (2007-06-06)
Systems biology brings hope of speeding up drug development
Almost every day brings news of an apparent breakthrough against cancer, infectious diseases, or metabolic conditions like diabetes, but these rarely translate into effective therapies or drugs, and even if they do clinical development usually takes well over a decade. view more (2008-11-20)
Molds for Molecules
Molecular imprints in polymers as reaction vessels for pharmaceuticals research Materials with the tiniest of cavities, which can take up other molecules as "guests", play a meaningful role in science and technology. A particularly interesting process for the synthesis of materials with precisely fitted cavities is known as molecular imprinting.... view more... (2002-11-28)
Science Matters in Northern Ireland
SBS today welcomed the opening of the new Centre for Molecular Biosciences at the University of Ulster, but highlighted the general lack of government investment in science in Northern Ireland. In a talk to scientists in Northern Ireland, Dr Peter Cotgreave, Director of SBS, pointed out that overall government investment in the science base is... view more... (2002-02-01)
Less expensive anti-clotting medication appears as safe and effective as more expensive treatment
Subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection of the original and less expensive form of the anticoagulant medication heparin is as effective and safe as subcutaneous administration of the newer and more expensive low-molecular-weight heparin for treatment of venous thromboembolism (blood clots in the deep veins of the legs or in the lungs). view more (2006-08-23)
New technique can be breakthrough for early cancer diagnosis
Early detection of disease is often critical to how successful treatment can be. Therefore, the development of new methods of diagnosis is a hot research field, where every small step is of great importance. In an article in the latest issue of Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, Uppsala University researchers describe a technique that the... view more... (2007-09-12)
rotein folding: Building a strong foundation
Like a 1950's Detroit automaker, it appears that nature prefers to build its proteins around a solid, sturdy chassis. view more (2006-09-18)
New open access journal set to challenge Nature, Science and Cell
Journal of Biology (http://www.jbiol.com) is a new international journal, published by BioMed Central, which provides immediate open access to research articles of exceptional interest. It will only publish research articles of the highest standard, similar to those published by Nature, Science or Cell. While these journals restrict access to only... view more... (2002-05-17)
A case of mistaken molecular identity
Researchers in Argentina have determined that night blindness is a new clinical symptom of Chagas disease. view more (2006-02-28)
The inside dope
Often, things can be improved by a little 'contamination.' Steel, for example is iron with a bit of carbon mixed in. To produce materials for modern electronics, small amounts of impurities are introduced into silicon - a process called doping. view more (2007-07-27)
UC Santa Barbara scientists clarify molecular basis of interferon action
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have made a significant discovery relating to viral infections in humans. view more (2007-07-20)
U. of Colorado team solves mystery of carcinogenic mothballs
Chemical compounds in household products like mothballs and air fresheners can cause cancer by blocking the normal process of "cell suicide" in living organisms, according to a new study spearheaded by the University of Colorado at Boulder. view more (2006-06-21)
NEW FOCUS FOR UK BIOSCIENTISTS
A new bioscience federation is proposed to represent the UK bioscience community in the new Millennium. The Institute of Biology (IoB) and the UK Life Sciences Committee (UKLSC) have been looking at ways to provide a more cohesive base from which better to promote the interests of biologists in science and society. view more (2000-02-07)
Study points to molecular origin of neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington's disease
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine points to the possible molecular origin of at least nine human diseases of nervous system degeneration. view more (2005-09-26)
Argonne scientists develop techniques for creating molecular movies
They may never win an Oscar, but scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed techniques for creating accurate movies of biological and chemical molecules, a feat only theorized up until now. view more (2008-04-16)
It`s good to talk: new multidiciplinary journal aims to improve communication between researchers
Although there has been an intensive research effort focused on diseases caused by kinetoplastid parasites, there has been little success in developing effective ways of treating them. The launch of the online journal Kinetoplastid Biology and Disease represents the practical first step in tackling some of the communication difficulties that face... view more... (2002-08-19)
