Small molecule interactions were central to the origin of life
In an important new paper forthcoming in the June issue of The Quarterly Review of Biology, Robert Shapiro (New York University) argues against the widely held theory that the origin of life began with the spontaneous appearance of a large, replicating molecule such as RNA. view more (2006-05-17)
Lower risk thresholds for heart disease needed
General practitioners should use lower risk thresholds for heart disease when they are treating high blood pressure in people from ethnic minorities, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-11-27)
Charles Darwin really did have advanced ideas about the origin of life
When Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species 150 years ago, he deliberately avoided the subject of the origin of life. view more (2009-10-28)
Second generation South Asian babies born in UK still below average weight
Second generation babies born to South Asian families in the UK are still well below national average weight, finds research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. There has been no increase in average birthweight among this group in 40 years, shows the research. The birth records for all full term babies born to women of South Asian... view more...

Venous origin of the mammalian lymphatic vasculature
In the October 1 issue of G&D, Dr. Guillermo Oliver (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital) and colleagues present new evidence to resolve a century-old debate over the origin of the mammalian lymphatic vasculature. view more (2007-10-01)
Dartmouth researchers find the root of the evolutionary emergence of vertebrates
Dartmouth College researchers and colleagues from the University of Bristol in the U.K. have traced the beginnings of complex life, i.e. vertebrates, to microRNA. The researchers argue that the evolution of microRNAs, which regulate gene expression, are behind the origin of early vertebrates. view more (2008-02-12)
Research suggests social factors behind higher schizophrenia rate in British African-Caribbeans
Unemployment and earlier separation from both parents may be key factors behind the higher rates of schizophrenia in British African-Caribbeans, according to new research by a scientist at The Centre for Caribbean Medicine, King's College London. view more (2002-06-19)
Microfoams the best treatment for varicose ulcers
According to a research, sclerosants in microfoam are the treatment of choice for ulcers of varicose origin. The study brings together the results of more than ten years of monitoring 116 patients affected by varicose ulcers being treated in Granada, Pamplona and Madrid. On comparing these with data from other novel therapies, it was shown that... view more... (2004-09-15)
Scientists confirm that parts of earliest genetic material may have come from the stars
Scientists have confirmed for the first time that an important component of early genetic material which has been found in meteorite fragments is extraterrestrial in origin, in a paper published on 15 June 2008. view more (2008-06-16)
Possible Origin of Cosmic Rays Revealed with Gamma Rays
An international team of astronomers (including the UK) has produced the first ever image of an astronomical object using high energy gamma rays, helping to solve a 100 year old mystery - an origin of cosmic rays. Their research, published in the Journal Nature on November 4th, was carried out using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.),... view more... (2004-11-02)
Durham diamond expert reports to the White House
The US Government has called in a University of Durham geologist for advice on diamonds in an effort to crack down on the illegal gems-for-arms trade. Dr Graham Pearson is one of a group of international experts and government representatives invited tot he White House Diamond Conference, convened in conjunction with The National Economic Council,... view more...

New research proves single origin of humans in Africa
New research published in the journal Nature (19 July) has proved the single origin of humans theory by combining studies of global genetic variations in humans with skull measurements across the world. view more (2007-07-19)
The prevalence of gluten-sensitive enteropathy in iron-deficient anemia patients
Gluten sensitive enteropathy (GSE) is an autoimmune enteropathy due to food gluten intolerance in genetically predisposed people. view more (2009-01-05)
Evolving complexity out of 'junk DNA'
The study, published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, claims to have solved this scientific riddle by analysing the genomics of primitive living fishes such as sharks and lampreys and their spineless relatives, such as the sea squirts. view more (2008-02-12)
Anaemia still common among south Asian and Chinese women in the UK
Lack of awareness of the link between anaemia and diet may partly explain why anaemia remains more common among women of South Asian and Chinese ethnic origin in the United Kingdom than in women of European ethnic origin, suggests a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at the University of Newcastle assessed the prevalence of anaemia in South... view more... (2001-04-18)
ASU researcher may have discovered key to life before its origin on Earth
An important discovery has been made with respect to the mystery of "handedness" in biomolecules. Researchers led by Sandra Pizzarello, a research professor at Arizona State University, found that some of the possible abiotic precursors to the origin of life on Earth have been shown to carry "handedness" in a larger number than... view more...

Higher blood pressures among African Americans - genes not likely to be an explanation
Genetics may not be enough to explain the rates of high blood pressure in US African-American populations, according to new research published today in BMC Medicine. The international study gives a different interpretation to the previous US data and suggests that high rates of hypertension might have more to do with lifestyle and socio-economic... view more...

A new chemical method for distinguishing between farmed and wild salmon
Wild salmon and farmed salmon can now be distinguished from each other by a technique that examines the chemistry of their scales. view more (2009-09-30)
Cannibalistic Stars hold clue to Big Bang
A team of UK astronomers announced this month the discovery of cannibalistic stars that explain one of the mysteries surrounding the Big Bang. The stars are almost as old as the Universe and they reveal what space was like in the very beginning. The team from the Open University found that a group of 14-billion-year-old stars were all in a spin... view more... (2002-05-10)
