Brain works more chaotically than previously thought
The brain appears to process information more chaotically than has long been assumed. This is demonstrated by a new study conducted by scientists at the University of Bonn.   view more (2007-02-28)

An implanted nerve stimulator helps drop foot sufferers walk faster and better
The partners in EUREKA project E! 2526 IMPULSE have developed an implanted nerve stimulator which helps patients with drop foot to walk much better. Over 500,000 people suffer from a stroke each year in Europe and 10% of stroke victims are left with drop foot, which causes severe walking problems.   view more (2005-02-15)

Research scientists discover gene defect responsible for epilepsy
Some 70 million people world-wide suffer from what is known as idiopathic epilepsy. The symptoms can vary considerably, ranging from brief unconsciousness and twitching of arms or legs to serious attacks of cramp. Research scientists at the Universities of Bonn, Ulm and Aachen have now been able to... view more (2003-02-27)

Light-sensitive photoswitches could restore sight to those with macular degeneration
A research center newly created by the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) aims to put light-sensitive switches in the body's cells that can be flipped on and off as easily as a remote control operates a TV.   view more (2006-11-01)

New stem-cell findings can help the body to cure itself
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified an important mechanism that regulates how many new cells are produced by each intestinal stem cell. The study is published in the latest issue of the prestigious scientific journal, Cell.   view more (2006-06-16)

Structural mechanism of the E. coli drug efflux pump AcrB
In a new study published online in the open access journal PLoS Biology, Gaby Sennhauser, Marcus Gruetter, and colleagues use structural biology techniques to probe the molecular mechanisms of the major drug efflux pump in E. coli AcrB.   view more (2006-12-27)

Iron banded worms drying out of blood could be linked to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
Researchers at the University of Warwick and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur have discovered that the mechanism that we rely on to transport iron safely through our blood stream can, in certain circumstances, collapse into a state which grows long worm-like "fibrils" banded by... view more (2008-02-11)

Brown Team Creates Uncanny Cell Replicas for Treatment, Research
Call them genuine fakes. Brown University biomedical engineer Diane Hoffman-Kim and her research team have made plastic replicas of real cells through a novel two-part molding process. The copies looked so authentic, Hoffman-Kim couldn't tell if they were real or rubber at first.   view more (2006-09-13)

First direct electric link between neurons and light-sensitive nanoparticle films created
The world's first direct electrical link between nerve cells and photovoltaic nanoparticle films has been achieved by researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) and the University of Michigan.   view more (2007-02-28)

Studying component parts of living cells with carbon nanotube cellular probes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown great potential for use as cellular probes. As "nanopipes" they can be used to transport liquids to or from cells and inject solutions or drugs directly into individual cells and individual organelles within the cells.   view more (2007-10-05)

From frog skin to human colon: rapid responses to steroid hormones
New research on steroid hormone action in the human colon and kidney could pave the way for novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of hypertension and diarrhoea. Prof Brian Harvey at University College Cork has been studying how the hormones oestrogen and aldosterone produce rapid changes in... view more (2002-04-04)

New cell division mechanism discovered
A novel cell division mechanism has been discovered in a microorganism that thrives in hot acid. The finding may also result in insights into key processes in human cells, and in a better understanding of the main evolutionary lineages of life on Earth.   view more (2008-10-28)

A new link between stem cells and tumors
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg and the Institute of Biomedical Research of the Parc Cient√≠fic de Barcelona (IRB-PCB) have now added key evidence to claims that some types of cancer originate with defects in stem cells.   view more (2005-09-06)
