Fat transforms vitamin C from 'good cop' into 'bad cop'
Fat in the stomach may cause vitamin C to promote, rather than prevent, the formation of certain cancer causing chemicals, reveals research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2007-09-04)
Researchers identify cancer preventive properties in common vitamin supplement
Early laboratory research has shown that resveratrol, a common dietary supplement, suppresses the abnormal cell formation that leads to most types of breast cancer, suggesting a potential role for the agent in breast cancer prevention. view more (2008-07-07)
Vitamin K discovery may lead to new treatments for patients at risk from blood clots
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists have discovered more about the role that vitamin K plays in the complicated process of how blood clots. Their work, published in Nature, may lead to new treatments for patients at risk from blood clots, including those who have had heart attacks, have coronary artery disease, irregular heart beats, or have... view more...

The Universe, seen under the Gran Sasso mountain, seems to be older than expected
Some nuclear fusion reactions inside stars occur more slowly than we thought and, as a consequence, stars themselves, as well as galaxies and the entire universe are a bit older than expected. This is what comes out from the last results of Luna experiment (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear astrophysics), settled by National Laboratories of Gran... view more... (2004-05-13)
Venus Express en route to probe the planet's hidden mysteries
The European spacecraft Venus Express has been successfully placed into a trajectory that will take it on its journey from Earth towards its destination of the planet Venus, which it will reach next April. view more (2005-11-10)
New targets for combating infections in medical implants
Navarre researcher, Jaione Valle Turrillas, has identified two genes that could help as targets for pharmaceutical drugs that fight the Staphylococcus aureus "one of the bacteria which causes most infections in medical implants". The results of her research have been published in her PhD thesis, "The role of the global regulators SarA... view more... (2004-10-18)
Global Earth Observation moves ahead
The intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) met this week to agree important elements of a groundbreaking 10-year Plan that will pave the way toward building a global Earth Observation System. Over the next decade, this system will revolutionize our understanding of the Earth and how it works. With benefits as broad as the planet... view more... (2004-09-28)
p53, tumor suppression and aging
In the January 1 issue of Genes & Development, Dr. Mary Ellen Perry and colleagues validate the p53 inhibitor, Mdm2, as a promising target for cancer therapies. view more (2006-01-03)
Blood protein may hold key to stopping tumor growth in cancer patients
A recent discovery by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine could clear the way for a new drug that inhibits tumor growth in cancer patients and could potentially help in the healing of wounds. view more (2009-04-01)
Scientists ponder plant life on extrasolar Earthlike planets
When we think of extrasolar Earth-like planets, the first tendency is to imagine weird creatures like Jar Jar Binks, Chewbacca, and, if those are not bizarre enough, maybe even the pointy-eared Vulcan, Spock, of Star Trek fame. view more (2007-06-20)
Eclipsing brown dwarfs provide new key to the star formation process
Pity the brown dwarf. It's too large to be a planet, but too small to be a star. view more (2006-03-16)
New Planet Is Larger than Pluto
Claims that the Solar System has a tenth planet are bolstered by the finding by a group lead by Bonn astrophysicists that this alleged planet, announced last summer and tentatively named 2003 UB313, is bigger than Pluto. view more (2006-02-02)
Look out for giant triangles in space
THE search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) could be taking the wrong approach. Instead of listening for alien radiobroadcasts, a better strategy maybe to look for giant structures placed in orbit around nearby stars by alien civilisations. view more (2005-04-06)
Europe's Mercury mission swings into action
The European Space Agency (ESA) signalled the start of a busy period for the planet Mercury, when it signed the contract for industrial development to start for the BepiColombo mission today (18th January 2008) at Astrium in Friedrichshafen, Germany. UK scientists and industry have key roles in BepiColombo, including construction of spacecraft... view more... (2008-01-21)
Plant genes identified that can form basis for crops better adapted to environmental conditions
Roots are crucial for the development of strong, healthy crops. But until recently, exactly which genes are involved in the development of roots was still a mystery. view more (2005-10-26)

Elastic interactions of membrane proteins
Cellular survival relies crucially on the ability to receive and communicate signals from and to the outside world. A major part of this regulation and communication is performed by proteins within the membrane of a cell. view more (2007-05-04)
Can exercise before diving prevent decompression sickness?
Nowadays, scuba diving involves millions of people worldwide. Decompression sickness following diving is initiated by the formation of gas bubbles in tissue and blood. The most common decompression related problem in sports divers is injury of the central nervous system, the risk of which is higher with increasing number of bubbles. Preventive... view more...
