Oregano oil works as well as synthetic insecticides to tackle common beetle pest
New research in the Society of Chemical Industry's Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture shows that oregano oil works as well as synthetic insecticides to combat infestation by a common beetle, Rhizoppertha dominica, found in stored cereals. view more (2008-05-22)
Better treatment selection and improved therapies -- key to improving prognosis in acute HF
Today, acute heart failure represents the most common reason for hospitalisation in the over-65 population. view more (2009-06-01)
Transgene Aspen And Cloned Karelian Birch
Long ago genetic engineering got deep reach into pharmacological and food industry, agriculture and medicine. The trees are no exclusion, but genetic engineers started to deal with them approximately ten years later than with other objects: the trees are too difficult for genetic investigations and manipulations. The wood plant genetic engineering... view more... (2003-06-16)
Simple reason helps males evolve more quickly

New study of gene evolution could lead to better understanding of neurodegenerative disease
Genetic evolution is strongly shaped by genes' efforts to prevent or tolerate errors in the production of proteins, scientists at The University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University have found. view more (2008-07-25)
How basil gets its zing
The blend of aromatic essential oils that gives fresh basil leaves their characteristic warm and sweet aroma is well characterized but not much is known about the enzymatic machinery manufacturing the odiferous mix. Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the University of Michigan followed their noses and solved part of the... view more... (2007-10-03)

Humans are reason for why domestic animals have strange and varied coat colors
HUMANS have actively changed the coats of domestic animals by cherry-picking rare genetic mutations, causing variations such as different colours, bands and spots, according to a new study. view more (2009-01-16)
Avian flu becoming more resistant to antiviral drugs, says University of Colorado study
A new University of Colorado at Boulder study shows the resistance of the avian flu virus to a major class of antiviral drugs is increasing through positive evolutionary selection, with researchers documenting the trend in more than 30 percent of the samples tested. view more (2009-01-08)
Fertility experts urge clinics to consider 'natural cycle' IVF instead of routine use of ovarian stimulants
A team of UK fertility experts wants IVF clinics to consider taking advantage of a woman's natural cycle during infertility treatment instead of routinely using drugs to stimulate ovaries into producing extra eggs. A study published today (Wednesday 31 January) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal, Human Reproduction*, has found that... view more... (2001-01-28)
Smithsonian researcher probes Hope Diamond's fiery red glow
A study released in the January 2008 edition of the journal Geology proves that a blue diamond's rare appeal goes far beyond its beauty. The study was conducted by Jeffrey Post, curator of the National Gem Collection and mineralogist, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. view more (2008-01-09)
Type of anesthetic will improve sleeping medication, probe mysteries of the snooze
Researchers at the University of Alberta have discovered sleep patterns in a type of anesthesia that are the closest ever to a natural, non-groggy snooze. view more (2008-04-17)
How 'secondary' sex characters can drive the origin of species
The ostentatious, sometimes bizarre qualities that improve a creature's chances of finding a mate may also drive the reproductive separation of populations and the evolution of new species, say two Indiana University Bloomington biologists. view more (2008-08-26)
ICSI and IVF are safe - results from world's largest, longest running study
Madrid, Spain: The world's largest and longest running study comparing children conceived through IVF and ICSI[1] with children conceived normally has confirmed that both assisted reproductive techniques are safe and that children conceived through these two techniques are healthy and, in general, doing as well as children conceived by natural... view more...

Scientists Identify Bovine Gene Regulating Milk Production
MTT Agrifood Research Finland and the University of Lie'ge, Belgium, have worked together successfully in locating a gene that regulates total yield and protein and fat content of milk. The scientists found a variation in the growth hormone receptor gene in the bovine chromosome 20. The variation in the receptor gene is associated with a major... view more... (2003-02-20)
Developing a voice-activated control device for household electrical goods and ticket machines
Fagor Home Electrics Group and Telvent (technological offshoot of Abengoa), working with the University of the Basque Country and the IKERLAN technological centre, are involved in the Genio project, with the aim of directing and designing the manufacture of devices capable of voice-based dialogue, thus enabling such products to join the new array... view more...
