A fundamental question about how sugar units are strung together into long carbohydrate chains has also pinpointed a promising way to target new medicines against tuberculosis. view more (2009-06-23)
Los Angeles fast-food restaurant ban unlikely to cut obesity, study finds
Restrictions on fast-food chain restaurants in South Los Angeles are not addressing the main differences between neighborhood food environments and are unlikely to improve the diet of residents or reduce obesity, according to a new RAND Corporation study. view more (2009-10-06)
Atlantic snails are increasing dramatically in size, Queen's researcher discovers
A Queen's University biologist has discovered that the shell lengths of northwest Atlantic Ocean snails - an important member of the Atlantic food chain - have increased by 22.6 per cent over the past century. Until now, this significant change in the marine ecosystem has gone unnoticed. view more (2009-03-25)
Molecular engineers consult nature
Nature has been manipulating structures on the atomic and molecular scale for millions of years, in comparison humans have only been developing these techniques over the last few decades. Molecular engineering builds structures and devices at the smallest scales imaginable, aiming to make better materials, new types of information technologies,... view more... (2002-09-10)
Commercial BSE testing now a reality in the UK
The announcement today (Jan 16, 2002) by Reading Scientific Services Ltd, that it has been granted UKAS accreditation by the Government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to conduct commercial BSE testing, is a first for the UK. view more (2002-01-16)
New strategies against bird flu
The Spanish flu outbreak of 1918 killed between 30 and 50 million people. In the infected patients, the ultimate cause of death was acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). view more (2008-04-18)
Standards for a new genomic era

Outsmarting cancer - new results from novel enzyme inhibitors
Smart drugs that can break the chain of command between enzymes and the genes involved in cell division and cell death are a new way forward in tackling breast cancer, according to Dr Stephen Johnston, a consultant oncologist from The Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK. He was speaking at a news briefing on Thursday (21 March) at the 3rd European... view more... (2002-03-19)
Self-digestion as a means of survival
In times of starvation, cells tighten their belts: they start to digest their own proteins and cellular organs. The process - known as autophagy - takes place in special organelles called autophagosomes. view more (2009-02-27)
NASA satellites catch 2 views of Felicia already affecting Hawaii
Tropical Storm Felicia is closing in on the Hawaiian Island chain and its center is now expected to pass just north of the big island before moving through the islands Tuesday and Wednesday. view more (2009-08-11)
HIV-1 spread through six transmission lines in the UK
Contrary to the prevailing belief that the HIV epidemic in the UK can be traced back to one source, a new study suggests that HIV spread via at least six independent virus introductions and subsequent transmission chains. The findings, published in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, also suggest that antiviral... view more... (2005-03-14)
Geneticists aim to develop test to identify learning disability
Clinical geneticist and principal investigator Dr David FitzPatrick explains: "In approximately 10% of CGMH cases, the condition will be caused by a chromosomal abnormality such as a chromosome 21 problem as in Down's Syndrome. Recent studies have suggested that a further 6% of cases may be caused by tiny sub-microscopic abnormalities at the ends... view more... (2000-01-20)
