Sugar coupled to protein causes kidneys to save water
Several new mechanisms that are important for the production and transport of water channels to the cell surface of kidneys have been identified by a Dutch researcher. The water channels ensure that water in the body is reused. If these fail to work properly, you urinate too much and dehydrate. The... view more (2003-10-10)

Roadworks on the motorways of the cell
A cell is a busy place. In a permanent rush hour, molecules are transported along a dynamic motorway system made up of filaments called microtubules.   view more (2007-01-02)

Cellular annoyance
The results of a multi-national survey to be published in the International Journal of Mobile Communications reveals some surprises about cell phone use that have implications for organizations that rely on mobile communications.   view more (2008-06-25)

Commission Organises European Climate Science Conference - Vienna, 19-23 October 1998
The conference has been organised by the European Commission and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Transport, and will be opened by Dr. Einem, the Austrian Minister of Science and Transport, and Prof. Routti, Director-General of DG XII. It will bring together climate change projects... view more (1998-10-16)

Gene linked with mental illness shapes brain region, researchers find
A gene variant associated with mental illness goes hand-in-hand with enlargement of a brain region that handles negative emotions, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center and the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System have found.   view more (2006-11-08)

Jefferson researchers' discovery may change thinking on how viruses invade the brain
A molecule thought crucial to ferrying the deadly rabies virus into the brain, where it eventually kills, apparently isn't.   view more (2007-04-20)

"Booster rocket" malfunction implicated in Huntington's disease
CNRS and Inserm research scientists at the Institut Curie have shed new light on the function of huntingtin, the protein whose mutation underlies Huntington's disease. This neurodegenerative disease, like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, is characterized by the abnormal death of certain neurons. The... view more (2004-07-07)

All eukaryotic kinases share 1 common set of substrates
Kinase mediated phosphorylation is generally recognised as the major regulator of virtually all metabolic activities in eukaryotic cells including proliferation, gene expression, motility, vesicular transport and programmed cell death.   view more (2007-08-22)

Study connects obesity with nervous system
A discovery by Queen's biologists and their students sheds new light on the genetic roots of obesity - a condition that is increasing dramatically in North America and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer.   view more (2008-01-24)

Reporting how research is contributing to inland waterway policy
For transport in the European Union (EU) the main potential barriers to sustainable socio-economic development are traffic congestion, environmental impacts, and economic costs. With accession, future enlargement and economic growth the stage is set for such problems to increase. But what can be... view more (2005-03-22)

Human stem cells delay start of Lou Gehrig's disease in rats
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have shown that transplanting human stem cells into spinal cords of rats bred to duplicate Lou Gehrig's disease delays the start of nerve cell damage typical of the disease and slightly prolongs life.   view more (2006-10-16)

Mutant gene shatters nerves
If you bend a knee or an elbow, the nerves in your limbs stretch but do not break. A University of Utah study suggests why: A gene produces a springy protein that keeps nerve cells flexible. When the gene was disabled in tiny nematode worms, their nerve cells literally broke.   view more (2007-01-30)

First structure of transporter enzyme family is solved - Finding will aid drug design to combat depression, stroke and diabetes
Scientists are a step closer to understanding how essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals are ferried into cells. For the first time, a member of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of transport proteins, found in almost every form of life, has been visualised by researchers from Imperial... view more (2003-07-30)

Scientists at VTT and the University of Florida take immunotechnology to a new level
Scientists at VTT and the University of Florida take immunotechnology to a new level Mimicking the cell walls transport system by biocoated nanotubes opens novel possibilities for numerous applications Living cells transport selectively molecules in and out through their cell walls. This process... view more (2002-07-04)

Function of key protein in Alzheimer's discovered
Scientists at the University of Bonn, working in collaboration with Italian researchers, have discovered the biological function of a protein normally associated with the onset of the Alzheimer's disease. Their results were published at the end of September in the US periodical "FASEB... view more (2003-08-21)

Stress and nerve cells survival in rats; finding may open widow for depression treatment
A single, socially stressful situation can kill off new nerve cells in the brain region that processes learning, memory, and emotion, and possibly contribute to depression, new animal research shows.   view more (2007-03-14)

Promising new nanotechnology for spinal cord injury
A spinal cord injury often leads to permanent paralysis and loss of sensation below the site of the injury because the damaged nerve fibers can't regenerate. The nerve fibers or axons have the capacity to grow again, but don't because they're blocked by scar tissue that develops around the injury.   view more (2008-04-03)

Models of eel cells suggest electrifying possibilities
Engineers long have known that great ideas can be lifted from Mother Nature, but a new paper by researchers at Yale University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) takes it to a cellular level.   view more (2008-10-03)

NO solution to high salt intake
Nitric oxide, normally toxic at high concentrations, is now known to be involved in a number of functions within the nervous system of many animals. New research being presented today at the Society for Experimental Biology conference reveals for the first time that nitric oxide is also present... view more (2002-04-08)

Dominant cholesterol-metabolism ideas challenged by new research
A team of researchers investigating cholesterol and lipid transport has performed experiments that cast serious doubt on the dominant hypothesis of how the body rids its cells of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and increases "good" cholesterol (HDL).   view more (2007-08-16)

Spinal cord repair: pilot trials "within sight"
When the brain and spinal cord are injured, the damage is permanent, because the tissues cannot repair themselves in the way that bone and skin can. Writing in the June Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Dr Geoffrey Raisman describes encouraging results from a new approach to the problem,... view more (2003-05-28)

Growing Nerve Cells in 3-D Dramatically Affects Gene Expression
When it comes to growing cells in a lab, technique matters. A new Brown University study shows that nerve cells grown in three-dimensional cultures use 1,766 genes differently compared to nerve cells grown in standard two-dimensional petri dishes.   view more (2007-05-17)

Einstein researchers discover important clue to the cause of Parkinson's disease
A glitch in the mechanism by which cells recycle damaged components may trigger Parkinson's disease, according to a study by scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University.   view more (2008-01-03)

Epilepsy-induced brain cell damage prevented in the laboratory
For some epilepsy patients, the side effects of epilepsy can be as troubling as the seizures. One pressing concern is the cognitive impairment seizures often inflict, which potentially includes memory loss, slowed reactions and reduced attention spans.   view more (2007-10-30)

Maritime industry comes together to identify its future research needs

The major players in the waterborne transport sector will come together in Bremen today to start work towards a common strategic vision for the future research needs of this sector.
