A new clinical trial suggests that long-term use of candesartan, a drug currently used to treat hypertension, may significantly reduce the symptoms of genetic heart disease. view more (2008-12-30)
Materials Today (February issue) Molecular electronics: What is it? How will it be applied in the future?
Introducing molecular electronics "In the natural world, molecules are used for many purposes. Using molecule-based materials for electronics, sensing, and optoelectronics is a new endeavor, called molecular electronics, and the subject both of riveting new research, and substantial popular press interest," says Mark Ratner. As one of... view more... (2002-02-06)
Gold nanostar shape of the future

Breakthrough in national diseases: Common factor behind myocardial infarction, rheumatism and MS
A common gene variant has been identified as the risk factor behind a number of common diseases by research scientists at Karolinska Institutet and the Centre for Molecular Medicine (CMM), Stockholm, Sweden. Up to a quarter of the population could be affected. view more (2005-04-08)
Plastic-Protein Hybrids
Functional membrane proteins in a block copolymer matrix Biological membranes form a fluid matrix, in which proteins "swim". Many of these membrane proteins are of interest for both pharmacological and biotechnological applications - for example, they are under consideration as biosensors for the rapid screening of pharmaceutical agents.... view more...

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)
Confronting the challenge of antimicrobial resistance
Drug resistance is making many diseases increasingly difficult--and sometimes impossible--to treat, according to Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. view more (2008-03-11)
New Non-Invasive Method In Lung Diagnostics
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a non-invasive diagnostic method has been evolving into an attractive alternative to methods which are associated with radiation exposure. This development now also starts to manifest itself in lung perfusion imaging. This was reported by Dr. Christian Fink and colleagues of the Radiology Division of the... view more... (2004-06-24)
Public event highlights lifesaving risk assessment test for Type 2 diabetes
The vital role that screening tests can play in the early identification and treatment of Type 2 diabetes has been highlighted at a public event in Oxford run by DiagnOx, the organisation that aims to increase the commercialisation of UK diagnostics research and BIVDA (the British In-Vitro Diagnostics Association). The audience at the event... view more... (2004-03-11)
Thermal Portrait Of Atherosclerosis Patients
Contemporary thermal imaging equipment may be applied to medicine for diagnostics and treatment efficiency control. Russian biophysicists used a thermal imager for recording the blood supply of atherosclerosis patients' extremities prior and after the treatment by gas-transport blood substitute injections. Researches in this area by Russian... view more... (2004-03-12)
