MIT closes in on bionic speed
Robots, both large and micro, can potentially go wherever it's too hot, cold, dangerous, small or remote for people to perform any number of important tasks, from repairing leaking water mains to stitching blood vessels together. view more (2005-11-08)
Temperature sensing by the circadian clock
In the September 1 issue of G&D, Dr. Michael Brunner and colleagues have uncovered the molecular mechanism whereby temperature affects circadian patterns in the fungus Neurospora. view more (2005-08-17)
Researchers Identify New Function of Protein in Cellular Respiration
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have found that the protein Stat3 plays a key role in regulating mitochondria, the energy-producing machines of cells. This discovery could one day lead to the development of new treatments for heart disease to boost energy in failing heart muscle or to master the abnormal metabolism of cancer. view more (2009-01-29)
Link between obesity and diabetes discovered
A Monash University study has proven a critical link between obesity and the onset of Type 2 diabetes, a discovery which could lead to the design of a drug to prevent the disease. view more (2009-07-08)
EMBC extends agreement with EMBO
At their recent meeting, the European Molecular Biology Conference (EMBC) voted unanimously to support the European Molecular Biology Organization's (EMBO) activities for nine further years. "This decision is particularly interesting at a time when the concept of a European Research Council is actively discussed," said Julio Celis,... view more... (2002-08-20)
Car jack lifts another major award
Last night an innovative 'airbag' car jack developed in conjunction with engineers from Sheffield Hallam University won yet another major national award, when Leeroy Brown beat off stiff competition to scoop the coveted Consumer Award at the BBC's Tomorrows World Awards, in association with NESTA. He collected the £5000 prize at a... view more... (2002-09-26)
Labs on a chip
The American bio-technology company, WaferGen, is planning to produce three micro laboratories on three different sensor chips, which were developed in Delft. To this end the company will acquire licences to for the patented design. The contracts will be signed by representatives of WaferGen and by Ir. G.J. van Luijk (chairman of the TU Delft... view more... (2004-06-03)
Chemical Cudgel in Plants
Defense mechanisms of single-celled algae Plankton are at the bottom of the food chain in all natural bodies of water and are thus correspondingly important for their ecological balance. In the cycle of eating and being eaten it isn't only fish and whales that prey on these tiny animals and plants - they also eat each other. For example, a variety... view more... (2000-11-29)
Princeton scientists confirm long-held theory about source of sunshine
Scientists are a step closer to understanding sunshine. A monumental experiment buried deep beneath the mountains of Italy has provided Princeton physicists with a clearer understanding of the sun's heart -- and of a mysterious class of subatomic particles born there. view more (2007-08-21)
Muscular dystrophy mystery solved; Mizzou scientist moves closer to MD solution
Muscular dystrophy, which affects approximately 250,000 people in the United States, occurs when damaged muscle tissue is replaced with fibrous, bony or fatty tissue and loses function. view more (2009-02-27)
The Structural Basis of Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is Revealed
Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (FHC), the leading cause of sudden death in athletes and young people, is a genetic disorder of the heart that is characterized by an increased thickness in tissue of the left ventricle. view more (2007-11-12)
Researchers create artificial enzyme that mimics the body's internal engine
The protein cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) is the ultimate enzyme responsible for all aerobic life on Earth, from bacteria to people. view more (2007-03-16)
Molecular Biologists Reveal Historical Secrets
By analysing DNA from ancient human remains researchers can determine the sex and ethnicity of our ancestors and help historians to compose a complete picture of their life and customs. In the region of Altai Mountains archaeologists discovered remains of an ancient civilisation. During excavations, they found many bones of newborns and wondered... view more... (2002-07-05)
Common insecticide can decimate tadpole populations
The latest findings of a University of Pittsburgh-based project to determine the environmental impact of routine pesticide use suggests that malathion--the most popular insecticide in the United States--can decimate tadpole populations by altering their food chain, according to research published in the Oct. 1 edition of Ecological Applications. view more (2008-09-30)
Researchers shed more light on conversion of water to hydrogen gas
Chemists are several steps closer to teasing hydrogen fuel from water using man-made molecular devices that collect electrons and use them to split hydrogen from oxygen. view more (2005-08-29)

Three molecular triggers threaten leukemia patients
The road to better treatment for the most common form of adult leukemia will require blocking multiple molecular pathways that fuel the disease. view more (2006-10-04)
Protein discovery could unlock the secret to better TB treatment
UCL scientists have found a protein that could unlock the secret to quicker, more effective treatment of TB by waking TB bacteria in the body. Once the TB bacteria are active again, the disease becomes treatable using common drugs like antibiotics. Scientists believe that uncovering the molecular structure of this protein will lead the way to... view more... (2005-02-28)
