Major breakthrough for special needs children
A groundbreaking project pioneered by a University of Sunderland researcher is having an extraordinary effect on the lives of children with special needs. Dr Phil Ellis, at the University’s school of arts, design and media, is working with youngsters from Davenport School in Houghton-le-Spring, with dramatic effect. He is using his sound... view more... (2001-01-25)
Vineyard weeds found to host Pierce's disease of grapes
New research just released in the September issue of Plant Disease suggests that weeds commonly found in California's wine country may enable the spread of Pierce's disease of grapes, one of the most destructive plant diseases affecting grapes. view more (2005-09-22)
Well-traveled wasps provide hope for vanishing species
They may only be 1.5mm in size, but the tiny wasps that pollinate fig trees can travel over 160km in less than 48 hours, according to research from scientists at the University of Leeds. The fig wasps are transporting pollen ten times further than previously recorded for any insect. view more (2009-11-10)
Thinking about moving? Let brain waves do the walking
Using brain waves to control screen cursor movements, rather than moving a mouse by hand, seems like science fiction! Yet such direct control over our environment is an integral part of the development work being undertaken by participants in the Presencia project. view more (2004-12-02)
Your mom was wrong: Horseplay is an important part of development
Playground roughhousing has long been a tradition of children and adolescents, much to the chagrin of several generations of parents who worry that their child will be hurt or worse, become accustom to violence and aggression. But animal research may paint a different portrait of rough and tumble play; one that suggests that social and emotional... view more... (2007-03-20)
A new dimension in display panels
For the first time, Fraunhofer researchers are presenting a 3D kiosk system at CeBIT: three-dimensional high-resolution objects appear to float in front of the display. Viewers will be able to see them with the naked eye and to "move" them by hand. view more (2004-03-18)
Global warming forces fish northwards

Case biologists show that what a neuron can do is a function of mechanical context
The brain as command center for bodily movement was too simple an idea, thought the Russian physiologist Nicolas Bernstein some 60 years ago. view more (2006-02-08)
Stem cell therapy for spinal injury
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown how the transplantation of stem cells improves recovery from spinal injury. However, a painful condition can also develop, which can be prevented if the stem cells are supplemented with a certain gene that controls their maturing process. The results are important for planning of stem cell therapy... view more... (2005-02-13)
Motor nerve targeting to limb muscles is controlled by ephrin proteins
A study from a team of researchers including Dr. Artur Kania, Director of the Neural Circuit Development Research Unit at the IRCM, and Dr. Dayana Krawchuk, postdoctoral fellow, shows how a family of proteins present in the developing limb control nerve targeting from the spinal cord to the muscles of the limb. view more (2008-12-29)
Can an over-the-counter vitamin-like substance slow the progression of Parkinson's disease?
Rush University Medical Center is participating in a large-scale, multi-center clinical trial in the U.S. and Canada to determine whether a vitamin-like substance, in high doses, can slow the progression of Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects about one million people in the United States. view more (2009-09-22)
Bugs expose underground carbon traffic system 10 times more important than fossil fuel burning
The flow of carbon through soil is ten times greater than the amount of carbon moved around by the burning of fossil fuel but until now how this happens was at best poorly understood. view more (2005-10-10)
UK research could lead to new treatments for Parkinson's
A team at the University of Sheffield has received a share of $3.6m from the Michael J. Fox Foundation to research potential causes and treatments for Parkinson's Disease. view more (2005-01-28)
