Scientists Identify Key Roadblock to Gene Expression
A team of scientists has provided, for the first time, a detailed map of how the building blocks of chromosomes, the cellular structures that contain genes, are organized in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. view more (2008-05-09)
Different genes may cause autism in boys and girls
Like detectives trying to solve a murder case, researchers searching for the biological cause of autism have come up with some surprising suspects. view more (2006-08-01)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)

MBL leads effort to update E. coli genome
E.coli is one of the most important model organisms for molecular science today and is arguably the single organism about which the most is known. view more (2006-01-10)
CNRS Use F1000 Biology To Evaluate Researchers
Top French scientists will use Faculty of 1000 Biology as a tool to assess the research it funds, it was announced today. Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the main French government-funded research organization, has given its lab heads access to Faculty of 1000 Biology as part of a package of evaluation tools. A literature... view more... (2003-07-30)
IUPUI scientists report first 3-D view of anti-cancer agent
Researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Purdue School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis have created the first three-dimensional image of how a well-established chemotherapy agent targets and binds to DNA. view more (2008-03-19)
Researcher finds new use for botox
Botox, used by Hollywood stars to smooth out facial wrinkles, is playing an important role in UQ research to understand how nerve cells communicate with each other. view more (2005-09-22)
Joint research into an enzyme that causes genetic diseases
Researchers from CIC bioGUNE's Structural Biology Unit and Columbia University (New York) have conducted a joint research project, published in the prestigious scientific journal Structure, to gain in-depth knowledge of the structure of pyruvate carboxylase when it is in solution (in the "natural" state). view more (2009-08-06)
Discovery of the cell's water gate may lead to new cancer drugs
The flow of water into and out from the cell may play a crucial role in several types of cancer. Scientists at the University of Gothenburg have now found the gate that regulates the flow of water into yeast cells. view more (2009-06-17)

Statins lower cholesterol by blocking certain enzymes involved in our metabolism. view more (2009-10-28)
Online collaboration identifies bacteria
A new website has been launched which allows scientists everywhere to collaborate on the identification of bacterial strains. This new resource, described in the open access journal BMC Biology, provides a portal for electronic bacterial taxonomy. view more (2009-02-19)
Rewind, please: Nature paper shows that cell division is reversible
Gary J. Gorbsky, Ph.D., a scientist with the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, has found a way to reverse the process of cell division. view more (2006-04-13)
Leading cause of death in 'preemies' might be controlled by resetting a molecular switch
Blocking signals from a key molecular receptor that normally switches on the intestine's immune response but instead becomes too intense in the presence of stress and toxins may help reverse necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a leading cause of death in premature newborns. view more (2007-12-03)
Nobel Prize Winner says that to take Advantage of all the Government's work in Improving the Science Base it must act now to Bolster Chemistry Student Numbers
Nobel Laureate and new President of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Professor Sir Harry Kroto today issued a stark warning of the economic consequences of the failure to attract more Chemistry students. He said that the present number of around 3000 new undergraduates per year must be increased by at least 50 per cent if the UK is to retain a... view more... (2002-11-13)
Green Plants Share Bacterial Toxin
A toxin that can make bacterial infections turn deadly is also found in higher plants, researchers at UC Davis, the Marine Biology Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass. view more (2006-11-07)
Exploring the molecular origin of blood clot flexibility
How do blood clots maintain that precise balance of stiffness for wound healing and flexibility to go with the flow? Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the School of Arts and Sciences have shown that a well-known protein structure acts as a molecular spring, explaining one way that clots may stretch and bend under... view more...

British students win international medals
Four British students have won medals from this year’s International Biology Olympiad, competing against 148 others from around the world. Thirty-eight countries took part in the competition, which was held this year in Turkey. The British representatives – all winners of the British Biology Olympiad – received a silver medal... view more... (2000-07-20)
KGI professor contributes new insights on 'jumping genes'
Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) today announced that Dr. Animesh Ray, KGI professor and director of KGI's PhD program, has published a paper in the international online journal PLoS ONE that sheds new light on the evolution of moveable genetic elements, or "jumping genes." view more (2007-10-09)
