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)
A new metal detector to study human disease
Zinc may be a familiar dietary supplement to millions of health-conscious people, but it remains a mystery metal to scientists who study zinc's role in Alzheimer's disease, stroke and other health problems. view more (2006-03-22)
Adult stem cell changes underlie rare genetic disease associated with accelerated aging
Adult stem cells may provide an explanation for the cause of a Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), a rare disease that causes premature aging in children, according to researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). view more (2008-03-03)
Molecular mechanism provides intra-cellular traffic signal
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have found that intra-cellular trafficking is tightly coordinated for maximum flow through cellular compartments - much as vehicles on a crowded road are allowed to pass quickly through a succession of green traffic lights. view more (2006-10-18)
Powerful genome ID method extended to humans
A mathematical discovery has extended the reach of a novel genome mapping method to humans, potentially giving cancer biology a faster and more cost-effective tool than traditional DNA sequencing. view more (2006-10-10)
£17.5m Research Boost for University of Ulster
The University of Ulster today revealed details of an unprecedented £17.5m investment for research which will fund two exciting new world class facilities at its Coleraine and Magee College campuses. The two projects which have received funding under the DFHETE’s SPUR (Support Programme for University Research) are: The Centre for... view more... (2000-12-18)
Synthetic biology: The next biotech revolution is brewing
The safety of early applications of synthetic biology may be adequately addressed by the existing regulatory framework for biotechnology, especially in contained laboratories and manufacturing facilities. view more (2009-03-25)
Microbial 'cheaters' help scientists ID 'social' genes
The first genome-wide search for genes governing social behavior has found that even the simplest social creatures -- the amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum -- have more than 100 genes that help regulate their cooperative behavior. view more (2008-02-14)
ECCO 13-Chernobyl legacy sheds light on link between thyroid cancer and radiation exposure
The unique circumstances of this study were provided for by the legacy of the radioactive accident at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in April 1986. view more (2005-11-02)
Anchovies In The Net: Concealed Identities Revealed
For those who delight in eating Mediterranean anchovies, the taste of inshore varieties has long been preferred to that of the open-sea kind. An IRD researcher has shown that this organoleptic difference coincides with a real biological distinction. In the Mediterranean Sea there is not just one species of European anchovy but two, each occupying... view more... (2003-09-24)
Virtual Reality on the Laboratory Table
Manipulating 3D molecules in real time Virtual Reality on the Laboratory Table view more (2003-05-11)
Shedding new light on biology
Physicists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have developed a state-of-the-art microscope that gives scientists a much deeper look into living organisms than ever before. The new technology will undoubtedly become a standard fixture in modern biology labs. Its many advantages and applications are described in the latest edition... view more... (2004-08-09)
Scientists demonstrate feasibility of preventing malaria parasite from becoming sexually mature
Researchers have demonstrated the possibility of preventing the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, which is responsible for more than a million malaria deaths a year, from becoming sexually mature. view more (2008-06-03)
Finding Will Improve Accuracy of Cancer Diagnosis
Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) investigators working in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic researchers have determined that two types of kidney tumors previously thought to be different diseases are actually variations of the same disease. view more (2009-04-30)
Gene Function Breakthrough
A breakthrough in understanding the functions of human genes has been reported by scientists working at the Wellcome Trust Biocentre at the University of Dundee. view more (2002-01-08)
Dog's place and date of birth identified
Earlier studies of this field have shown that Eastern Asia is the place where the wolf was tamed to become the dog. view more (2009-09-01)
Snomipede races to solve the mysteries of life
A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the Universities of Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and Glasgow has been awarded a £3m research grant to develop a new nanotechnology tool which they have called the 'Snomipede'. The team, led by Professor Graham Leggett at the University of Sheffield, hopes that once developed, the Snomipede... view more... (2005-02-15)
McMaster University researchers discover zip codes for protein
McMaster scientists are very close to defining small molecule drugs that should be able to redirect the huntingtin protein from accumulating in the wrong place within brain cells, which could potentially translate to a therapy for Huntington's Disease (HD). view more (2007-01-30)
Researchers reveal basis for debilitating hereditary disease
A research team led by scientists at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston has determined the structure of an enzyme that when defective causes an inherited disease that afflicts sufferers with severe abdominal pain, psychiatric symptoms, skin fragility, and light sensitivity. view more (2005-10-10)
Hormone clue to root growth
Plant roots provide the crops we eat with water, nutrients and anchorage. Understanding how roots grow and how hormones control that growth is crucial to improving crop yields, which will be necessary to address food security and produce better biofuels. view more (2009-07-08)
