'GreeneChip' — New diagnostic tool that rapidly and accurately identifies multiple pathogens
Researchers in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and their colleagues in the WHO Global Laboratory Network have developed a new tool for pathogen surveillance and discovery-the GreeneChip System. view more (2006-12-06)
Scientists tackle international environmental problem - ballast water
A new research project aims to tackle a huge environmental problem which costs the worldwide economy billions of pounds each year and which scientists say is worse than an oil slick. view more (2001-11-22)
A better way to copy DNA
Scientists have developed a new method for DNA amplification that could replace the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a technique that is invaluable for both medical diagnostics and basic research but which is confined to the laboratory. In the August issue of EMBO reports, Huimin Kong and colleagues at New England Biolabs (Beverly, MA, USA)... view more... (2004-07-14)
Scientists develop fungus-fighting vaccine
group of scientists in Italy have developed a vaccine with the potential to protect against fungal pathogens that commonly infect humans, according to a study by Torosantucci and colleagues in the September 5 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2005-09-06)
Targeting wolbachia, doxycycline reduces pathology of lymphatic filariasis
Lymphatic filariasis, a mosquito-borne tropical disease that afflicts 120 million people worldwide, can cause debilitating swelling of the legs and genital areas. view more (2006-09-20)
£4.5M for new studies on gene flow in GM and conventional agriculture
New research, totalling around £4.5M, into the behaviour and transfer of genes within and between plants and microbes is announced today by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Fifteen projects are the first to be funded under the joint BBSRC/NERC initiative... view more... (2000-11-23)
Early-stage immune system control of HIV may depend on inherited factors
How well an individual's immune system controls HIV during the earliest phases of infection appears to depend on both the specific versions of key immune-system molecules called HLA Class I that have been inherited, as well as on the fragments of viral protein those molecules display to the T lymphocytes that usually destroy infected cells. view more (2006-11-06)
New method enables gene disruption in destructive fungal pathogen
Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech, Colorado State University, and Duke University Medical Center have developed a new method to determine gene function on a genome-wide scale in the fungal pathogen Alternaria brassicicola. view more (2006-02-03)
New insights into vaccination for HIV
A group of Australian researchers at the Universities of Melbourne and New South Wales have developed new tools and paradigms to understand immune evasion from HIV. view more (2008-01-25)
Scientists discover new chemical reaction for DNA production in bacteria and viruses
A team of researchers has discovered a new chemical reaction for producing one of the four nucleotides, or building blocks, needed to build DNA. view more (2009-04-17)
Cystic fibrosis patients may breathe easier, thanks to bioengineered antimicrobials
By better understanding how antimicrobials bind and thereby get inactivated in the mucus of air passages, researchers at the University of Illinois may have found a way to help cystic fibrosis patients fight off deadly infections. view more (2007-09-25)
Topical treatment for cold sores achieves efficacy of oral drugs; represents paradigm shift
Scientists at NanoBio Corporation have demonstrated for the first time in humans that a novel topical treatment for cold sores (herpes labialis), NB-001, speeds healing of lesions as effectively as the leading oral systemic drugs but without safety or toxicity concerns. view more (2008-10-29)
Small molecule inhibitor of cholera discovered
Just as hurricanes in the Gulf states and Guatemala have raised the risks of cholera outbreaks, researchers at Harvard Medical School have identified a new type of antibiotic against the cholera bacteria. view more (2005-10-17)
Key to virulence protein entry into host cells discovered
Researchers from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech have identified the region of a large family of virulence proteins in oomycete plant pathogens that enables the proteins to enter the cells of their hosts. view more (2008-08-05)
Leading pathogen in newborns can suppress immune cell function
Group B Streptococcus (GBS), a bacterial pathogen that causes sepsis and meningitis in newborn infants, is able to shut down immune cell function in order to promote its own survival. view more (2009-07-13)
Researchers track Lyme disease spirochetes
Microbiologists at the University of Calgary have demonstrated the first direct visualization of the dissemination of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. view more (2008-06-20)
Scripps research study shows humans and plants share common regulatory pathway
The study was published in an advance online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences during the week of April 9, 2007. view more (2007-04-10)
Tracking down the causes of multiple sclerosis
Over 100,000 people suffer from multiple sclerosis in Germany alone. Despite intensive research, the factors that trigger the disease and influence its progress remain unclear. view more (2009-06-11)
