Recycling of plastics is a troublesome business. If they are shredded and melted down together the end products are often relatively worthless materials; this is known in the trade as "downcycling". If plastics are broken down into their constituent parts in the refining process, the products obtained are simply ones which can be made more cheaply... view more... (1998-11-20)
Joint research into an enzyme that causes genetic diseases
Researchers from CIC bioGUNE's Structural Biology Unit and Columbia University (New York) have conducted a joint research project, published in the prestigious scientific journal Structure, to gain in-depth knowledge of the structure of pyruvate carboxylase when it is in solution (in the "natural" state). view more (2009-08-06)
Coding for arthropods-what's so special about insects and spiders?
The central dogma of molecular biology is that DNA makes RNA makes protein. This relies on a specific underlying code which relates given triplets of RNA nucleotides into specific amino acids. view more (2006-04-25)
The Right Food Can Improve Fertility
Roasted red peppers, mini crab cakes and Brazil nuts can all help to increase fertility. They will all feature in a special Fertility Buffet, laid on by Dr Margaret Rayman, Director of the MSc Course in Nutritional Medicine at the University of Surrey, on 3 July 2003. A good, balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables (at least five portions a... view more... (2003-06-30)
Ice clouds put Mars in the shade
Until now, Mars has generally been regarded as a desert world, where a visiting astronaut would be surprised to see clouds scudding across the orange sky. However, new results show that the arid planet possesses high-level clouds that are sufficiently dense to cast a shadow on the surface. view more (2008-01-17)
Caltech researchers pinpoint neurons that control obesity in fruit flies
A team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have pinpointed two groups of neurons in fruit fly brains that have the ability to sense and manipulate the fly's fat stores in much the same way as do neurons in the mammalian brain. view more (2009-08-19)

Fatty Liver a Possible Risk for Hypertension
The accumulation of fat in the liver, or "fatty liver," resulting from accumulation of central body fat, and perhaps not alcohol consumption, may represent an important underlying mechanism for the association between liver enzymes and hypertension. view more (2005-11-03)
New techniques in plant chloroplast division hold hope for agriculture
Ground-breaking research at the University of Leicester into the division of chloroplasts holds out hope of a safer way of genetically modifying crops, with implications for agriculture particularly in the developing world. Using three plant types - Arabidopsis, tomato and rice - Dr Simon Geir M'¸ller has been working with colleagues in the... view more... (2003-01-20)
Scientists crack 40-year-old DNA puzzle and point to 'hot soup' at the origin of life
A new theory that explains why the language of our genes is more complex than it needs to be also suggests that the primordial soup where life began on earth was hot and not cold, as many scientists believe. view more (2005-08-03)
Hebrew University scientists develop prototype drug to prevent osteoporosis
Substances produced in the body that act like those found in the cannabis plant help preserve bone density, according to researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Based on this finding, a prototype for a new drug to prevent osteoporosis (loss of bone density) without any psychoactive side effects has already been developed. view more (2006-01-04)
Miracle leaves that may help protect against liver damage
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berries are well known for their cholesterol busting properties, but scientists in India say that its leaves are also rich in anti-oxidants and may help ward off liver disease, according to new research due to be published in the Society of Chemical Industry's (SCI) Journal of the Science of Food and... view more...
