Assembling the jigsaw puzzle of drug addiction
Using an integrative meta-analysis approach, researchers from the Center for Bioinformatics at Peking University in Beijing have assembled the most comprehensive gene atlas underlying drug addiction and identified five molecular pathways common to four different addictive drugs. view more (2008-01-07)
Detailed 3-D image catches a key regulator of neural stem cell differentiation in action
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in collaboration with scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) took a high resolution "action shot" of a protein switch that plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system. view more (2006-12-08)
New technology illuminates protein interactions in living cells
While fluorescence has long been used to tag biological molecules, a new technology developed at Yale allows researchers to use tiny fluorescent probes to rapidly detect and identify protein interactions within living cells while avoiding the biological disruption of existing methods, according to a report in Nature Chemical Biology. view more (2007-11-12)
3D Molecular Sciences Announces IP Agreement with University of Hertfordshire
Cambridge, UK, 17th July 2002...3D Molecular Sciences Ltd (3DMS™), a recent spin-out from The Generics Group, has announced the strengthening of its patent estate in the area of optically readable encoded microscopic particles and 3D array bead-based technologies through an agreement with the University of Hertfordshire and Imperial College... view more...

Red alert! How disease disables tomato plant's 'intruder alarm'
How a bacterium overcomes a tomato plant's defences and causes disease, by sneakily disabling the plant's intruder detection systems, is revealed in new research out today (4 December) in Current Biology. view more (2008-12-05)
Vibrations key to efficiency of green fluorescent protein
University of California, Berkeley, chemists have discovered the secret to the success of a jellyfish protein whose green glow has made it the darling of biologists and the subject of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. view more (2009-11-12)
Researchers examine potential for 'refilling' hydrogen storage material
Performing quantum calculations on a supercomputer, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have characterized a material that might allow on-board refueling of hydrogen powered vehicles. view more (2005-08-29)
Heart regenerates after infarction -- first trials with mice
Up until today scientists assumed that the adult heart is unable to regenerate. Now, researchers and cardiologists from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch and the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Germany) have been able to show that this dogma no longer holds true. view more (2008-12-12)
Molecular imaging technology used in gastric cancer
Modern cancer care is critically dependent on imaging technologies, which are used to detect early tumors and guide their therapy or surgery. Molecular imaging technologies provide information about the functional or metabolic characteristics of malignancies, tumor stage and therapeutical response, and tumor recurrence; whereas conventional... view more...

Tuatara, the fastest evolving animal
In a study of New Zealand's "living dinosaur" the tuatara, evolutionary biologist, and ancient DNA expert, Professor David Lambert and his team from the Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and Evolution recovered DNA sequences from the bones of ancient tuatara, which are up to 8000 years old. view more (2008-03-24)
Spatial Molecular Structure of the Bovine Prion Protein Decoded at the ETH Zurich
The healthy prion proteins of humans and bovine cattle are very similar. It therefore appears, that transmission of Mad Cow Disease (BSE) to humans might be rationalized on the level of the molecular structure. This is reported by a research team from the Institute for Molecular Biology and Biophysics of the ETH Zurich (The Swiss Federal Institute... view more... (2000-07-11)
NRC team uses new Quantum Technology to control molecules
A research team at the National Research Council Canada (Ottawa) has developed a new quantum technology which uses laser pulses to control quantum processes. view more (2006-10-13)

New risk factor for heart disease identified
Physicians can now identify overweight people at very high risk of developing heart disease, thanks to research published this week in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. People who suffer from heart disease are more likely to produce smaller versions of a protein called apolipoprotein(a). Being overweight increases your risk of suffering from heart... view more...

Agent orange chemical, dioxin, attacks the mitochondria to cause cancer, says Penn research team
Researchers with the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have demonstrated the process by which the cancer-causing chemical dioxin attacks the cellular machinery, disrupts normal cellular function and ultimately promotes tumor progression. view more (2007-12-18)
Advice, devices ineffective in preventing worker back pain
Back pain is the number one cause of worker-compensation complaints, second only to the common cold in causing lost workdays. view more (2007-07-20)
HIRA, a new factor in the genome's 3D organizational assembly chain
At the heart of every cell, vital information is "written" on the DNA, a long molecular ribbon almost one meter long bundled inside the nucleus of the cell. For the DNA to fit inside this small space, it is rolled up like a ball of yarn in a highly organized structure called chromatin. Beyond its purely structural role, the spatial... view more...

Leicester scientists seek to disarm TB's 'molecular weapon'
Scientists at the University of Leicester are claiming a new advance in their fight against the resurgence of TB in Britain. view more (2008-03-06)
Albatross study shows regional differences in ocean contamination
As long-lived predators at the top of the marine food chain, albatrosses accumulate toxic contaminants such as PCBs, DDT, and mercury in their bodies. A new study has found dramatic differences in contaminant levels between two closely related albatross species that forage in different areas of the North Pacific. view more (2006-04-05)
Mixing genomics and geography yields insights into life and environment
In an upcoming issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Yale researchers used newly developed mathematical models to analyze huge amounts of data on physical characteristics such as temperature and salinity in different ocean habitats and metabolic activity in marine micro-organisms. view more (2009-01-23)
