Slight risk of leukaemia among UK nuclear test veterans "cannot be ruled out"
Nuclear test veterans are not at increased risk of premature death and developing cancer, overall, finds research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. But the possibility that they may have a slightly increased risk of leukaemia, "cannot be ruled out," the authors conclude. The... view more (2003-02-21)

ETH Researchers Visualize the Binding of Proteins to the Nuclear Surface
Not only the genetic information of individual cells, but also that of the entire organism is stored within the cell nucleus. Each cell of a multicellular organism, e.g. man, contains the identical DNA sequences. The communication between the cell nucleus and the remainder of the cell is thus... view more (2003-01-15)

Tug-of-cell war
Researchers at the School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee have made an exciting new discovery on how cells regulate themselves and prevent cancer as reported in Nature tomorrow (Wednesday). Dr Tomo Tanaka and his team members, Drs Hilary Dewar and Kozo Tanaka have uncovered a tug of war that... view more (2004-02-10)

30 Years of European R&D for Reliable and Effective Nuclear Material Control
Controlling nuclear materials to ensure that they are not diverted from peaceful intent into nuclear weapons use or unknown purposes is and will continue to be a vital political and technical matter at National, European and Global scales. A control system, called "Safeguards", which... view more (1999-04-29)

Location matters, even for genes
Moving an active gene from the interior of the nucleus to its periphery can inactivate that gene report scientists from the University of Chicago Medical Center in an article to be published early online Feb.13, 2008, in the journal Nature.   view more (2008-02-14)

Wnt signalling protein Dishevelled acts in the nucleus, not just in the cytoplasm
Researchers have identified that Dishevelled doesn't only function in the cytoplasm and at the cell membrane - it must also pass into the nucleus. A study published today in Journal of Biology reveals that Dishevelled, a key player in the Wnt/beta-catenin signalling pathway, has to be localised in... view more (2005-02-11)

Replacement warhead program poses challenges for weapons complex
An independent study group, convened by AAAS's Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy, has issued a report on the proposed Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) and its role in the future U.S. nuclear weapons program.   view more (2007-04-25)

Hospitals could reduce unnecessary tests for cardiac diagnostic imaging
Hospitals that perform cardiac nuclear stress testing under published national practice guidelines could reduce unnecessary testing and, potentially costs, according to a Henry Ford Hospital study.   view more (2008-09-15)

Quatratran - Helping to make The World a safer place
Since the development of superconducting electronic devices there has been a need to develop a three terminal transistor like device sensitive enough to measure small voltage and current signals typical of those associated with single electron and photon events. A group of researchers in the... view more (2004-02-19)

After the Big Bang: Project Explores Seconds that Shaped the Universe
