Robust time estimation reconciles views of the antiquity of placental mammals
Despite great progress over the past decade, the evolutionary history of placental mammals remains controversial. While a consensus is emerging on the topology of the evolutionary tree, although with occasional disagreement, divergence times remain uncertain. view more (2007-04-18)
Why predicting the next influenza pandemic is difficult and how scientists can best prepare
In planning for a future influenza pandemic, most experts agree that two things are known for certain—there will be another pandemic someday, and nobody can predict when. view more (2007-05-09)
Test helps identify patients with breast cancer who will likely benefit from chemotherapy
A test that measures the amounts of two members of the same protein family-one of which appears to act as an oncogene, and the other as a tumor suppressor-helps identify patients with breast cancer who will likely benefit from chemotherapy and those who won't, according to researchers. view more (2006-09-18)
UIC and Japanese chemists close in on molecular switch
The electronics industry believes that when it comes to circuits, smaller is better -- and many foresee a future where electrical switches and circuits will be as tiny as single molecules. view more (2007-07-11)
Patent Granted For A Chemical Compound That Acts As A Molecular Switch
The University Jaume I (UJI), together with researchers from the CSIC and the Universitat Polite'cnica de Vale'ncia, has patented a new compound whose physico-chemical characteristics open up a wide range of technological applications. The compound is one of the metallodendrimers, which are molecules that undergo reversible changes in their... view more... (2004-06-30)
How can we know early who will benefit from tumor target therapy?
The precise tailoring of tumor target treatment for patients with cancer is an unmet challenge. The goal is to only administer treatments that have a high probability of being effective. view more (2007-11-26)
To evade chemotherapy, some cancer cells mimic stem cells
Anti-cancer treatments often effectively shrink the size of tumors, but some might have an opposite effect, actually expanding the small population of cancer stem cells believed to drive the disease, according to findings presented today in Atlanta, Georgia at the American Association for Cancer Research's second International Conference on... view more...

SLU Researchers Uncover Direct Evidence on How HIV Invades Healthy Cells
Using sophisticated detection methods, researchers at the Saint Louis University Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) have demonstrated the molecular mechanism by which the HIV virus infects, or integrates, healthy cells. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments for HIV. view more (2005-12-22)
ANALYTICA 2004: Analyses for Medicine and Environment
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) presents the prototype of a modular kit for a „chip-based lab". Thanks to ingenious fluidics and a miniaturised tempering unit, the modular construction system makes it possible to realize reproducable PCR reactions in less than five minutes. The single chips of the modular kit are... view more... (2004-05-05)
NIST team proves bridge from conventional to molecular electronics possible
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have set the stage for building the "evolutionary link" between the microelectronics of today built from semiconductor compounds and future generations of devices made largely from complex organic molecules. view more (2008-03-19)
New research may overturn conventional wisdom on drug-resistant tuberculosis
A newly released study suggests that the majority of cases of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) among patients undergoing treatment for the disease may be due to new infections, not acquired resistance. view more (2007-02-21)
A molecular ripcord for chemical reactions
Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have developed an entirely new method for starting chemical reactions. view more (2009-04-07)
Stanford blood scanner detects even faint indicators of cancer
A team led by Stanford researchers has developed a prototype blood scanner that can find cancer markers in the bloodstream in early stages of the disease, potentially allowing for earlier treatment and dramatically improved chances of survival. view more (2008-12-02)
Scientists design simple dipstick test for cocaine, other drugs
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a simple "dipstick" test for detecting cocaine and other drugs in saliva, urine or blood serum. view more (2006-11-14)
UT Health Science Center researchers decoding saliva to detect breast cancer
Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston can identify and quantify specific protein markers in human saliva to provide an early, non-invasive diagnosis of breast cancer, according to a study published in the Jan. 10, 2008 issue of the journal "Cancer Investigation." view more (2008-01-11)
Issue 1 of the new journal 'Molecular BioSystems' launched
Celebrations are underway at the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), where the first issue of the new chemical biology journal Molecular BioSystems has just been published. The electronic issue is freely available at www.molecularbiosystems.org. The new journal has particular relevance to the -omic sciences, systems biology and molecular medicine... view more...

Nanowires can detect molecular signs of cancer, scientists find
Harvard University researchers have found that molecular markers indicating the presence of cancer in the body are readily detected in blood scanned by special arrays of silicon nanowires - even when these cancer markers constitute only one hundred-billionth of the protein present in a drop of blood. view more (2005-09-26)
