Rosetta begins its 10-year journey to the origins of the Solar System
Europe's Rosetta cometary probe has been successfully launched into an orbit around the Sun, which will allow it to reach the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014 after three flybys of the Earth and one of Mars. During this 10-year journey, the probe will pass close to at least one asteroid.... view more (2004-03-02)

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.

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)

Despite significantly raising HDL, torcetrapib failed to slow the progression of coronary plaques
Investigators reported today that torcetrapib, a drug that substantially raises high-density lipoprotein cholesterol or HDL (the "good" cholesterol), did not slow the progression of plaque buildup in the coronary arteries as measured using an ultrasound probe (IVUS).   view more (2007-03-27)

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)

By straddling twin molecules, Sandia physicist obtains unique view of their breakup
Imagine you are standing, John Wayne style, on the backs of two runaway horses pulling a stagecoach. You try to bring the horses to a stop but instead the harnesses break, the horses separate, and an unlucky passenger gets thrown from the stage.   view more (2006-01-20)

EARLIER DETECTION FOR BREAST CANCER IN SIGHT
One in twelve women in the UK will experience breast cancer during their life, one of the highest incidences in the world. Scientists at Cranfield University's Shrivenham Campus have been looking at ways in which new developments in materials science can assist us in the fight against such cancers.   view more (2000-03-15)

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)

Measurements may help show if constants are changing
Physicists at JILA have performed the first-ever precision measurements using ultracold molecules, in work that may help solve a long-standing scientific mystery-whether so-called constants of nature have changed since the dawn of the universe.   view more (2006-05-01)

New Instrument Puts New Spin on Superconductors
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory are part of collaborative team that's used a brand new instrument at the DOE's Spallation Neutron Source to probe iron-arsenic compounds, the "hottest" new find in the race to explain and develop superconducting materials.   view more (2008-10-13)

Stanford researchers take first look at working muscle fiber
Using an unusual microscope with a tip the size of a needle, Stanford researchers are now able to look at tiny fibers of working muscles in live humans, with minimum discomfort to the patient-a development patients are sure to welcome.    view more (2008-07-11)

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... view more (2005-05-19)

'Smart' nanoprobes light up disease
Researchers from Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) have developed a "smart" beacon hundreds of times smaller than a human cell that is programmed to light up only when activated by specific proteases.   view more (2005-08-02)

Computer models suggest planetary and extrasolar planet atmospheres
The world is abuzz with the discovery of an extrasolar, Earth-like planet around the star Gliese 581 that is relatively close to our Earth at 20 light years away in the constellation Libra.   view more (2007-06-20)

Researchers propose new molecule to explain circadian clock
The internal clock in living beings that regulates sleeping and waking patterns -- usually called the circadian clock -- has often befuddled scientists due to its mysterious time delays. Molecular interactions that regulate the circadian clock happen within milliseconds, yet the body clock resets... view more (2007-08-28)

New protein tag enhances view within living cells
The view into the inner world of living cells just got a little brighter and more colorful. A powerful new research tool, when used with other labeling technologies, allows simultaneous visualization of two or more different proteins as well as the ability to distinguish young and old copies of a... view more (2008-02-25)

The Max-Planck Research Prize 2003 rewards an INTAS grantee

Glypican-3 gene function in regulating body size helps inform novel cancer treatments
In a leading study that has implications for the development of novel therapies for a number of breast, lung and ovarian cancers that have lost the expression of a gene called glypican-3 (GPC3), Sunnybrook researchers have discovered how the loss of the GPC3 gene induces overgrowth through certain... view more (2008-05-13)

NMR advance relies on microscopic detector
Detecting the molecular structure of a tiny protein using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) currently requires two things: a million-dollar machine the size of a massive SUV, and a large sample of the protein under study.   view more (2007-05-16)

Decoding protein structures helps illuminate cause of diabetes
Any photographer can vouch for the difficulty of capturing a clear picture of a moving target.
