Ethnic differences in response to HIV medicines
Researchers from the University of Massachusetts and the University of Pennsylvania have shown that race/ethnicity is a predictor of plasma lipids in patients with HIV-1 on HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy). view more (2006-01-24)
Mars 96: UK Involvement In The Russian Mission
The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council had awarded more than £1/2 million funding for work by UK scientists involved in several of the MARS 96 mission's payload and systems. The largest UK contribution was from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, led by Principal Investigator Professor Alan Johnstone. Mullard designed and... view more... (1996-11-18)
Researchers describe protease inhibitor that may aid in diabetic retinopathy treatment
Researchers from Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston, and ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals, Inc., San Francisco, announced today that they have demonstrated that a specific inhibitor of the protease plasma kallikrein, ASP-440, developed by ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals, may provide a new therapeutic approach for treatment of diabetic retinopathy, the most... view more...

US committee recommends participation in the ITER project
The Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC) recommends in a recent report the return of the USA as a full partner to the international ITER cooperation, with an annual financial contribution to the project of 100 million US dollars. The ITER experimental fusion reactor is being jointly prepared by the fusion programmes of Europe, Japan,... view more... (2002-09-24)
New insights on fusion power
Research carried out at MIT's Alcator C-Mod fusion reactor may have brought the promise of fusion as a future power source a bit closer to reality, though scientists caution that a practical fusion powerplant is still decades away. view more (2008-12-04)
Heart disease associated with oral health - studies of women and serological factors
A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows, for the first time, an association between coronary heart disease and oral health in women. Recent results have also shown that serological factors, might provide insight into the reported epidemiological association between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease... view more... (2004-02-20)
New research contributes to defense of Earth's technologies
University of Leicester researchers have taken a step forward in helping to create a defence for earth's technologies -from the constant threat of space weather. view more (2009-06-03)
UCF professor finds new way deadly food-borne bacteria spread
University of Central Florida Microbiology Professor Keith Ireton has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that plays an important role in the spread of a deadly food-borne bacterium. view more (2009-09-21)
Bad vibes - solving a problem for research and industry
An inexpensive method of damping harmful torsional vibration in rotating drive systems has been developed at Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching and submitted for patent. The method was devised in the context of fusion research but is universally applicable - wherever machines in energy technology and process engineering are... view more... (2003-11-14)
Breakthrough in pre-eclampsia test
A team at the University of Leeds has discovered a way of diagnosing pre-eclampsia, a condition which affects almost one in ten pregnant women and accounts for up to 15% of all premature deliveries. view more (2008-02-13)
Laser-optical mine detection needle will facilitate mine clearing
The "laser-optical mine detection needle" is intended to facilitate the removal of land mines for humanitarian reasons. The working group of Professor Dr. Wolfgang Schade at the Institute of Physics und Physical Technologies at the Technical University of Clausthal intends to exhibit a "laser-optical mine detection needle" at... view more...

MIT rocket aims for cheaper nudges in space
Satellites orbiting the Earth must occasionally be nudged to stay on the correct path. MIT scientists are developing a new rocket that could make this and other spacecraft maneuvers much less costly, a consideration of growing importance as more private companies start working in space. view more (2009-02-24)
Tuberculosis Diagnostics Within Several Minutes
A single glance at the patient's blood plasma will now be sufficient to ascertain whether he/she is ill with tuberculosis, and should the diagnosis be unfavourable - to determine the stage of the disease. Certainly, the plasma will be viewed through the device developed by the specialists of the Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy and their colleagues... view more... (2004-12-10)
New insights into how lasers cut flesh
Lasers are at the cutting edge of surgery. From cosmetic to brain surgery, intense beams of coherent light are gradually replacing the steel scalpel for many procedures. view more (2007-10-26)
In vitro antibody production enables HIV infection detection in window period -- key to safer blood
Researchers in Israel and Kenya have shown that the contribution of variable degrees of immune suppression, either due to existing chronic infections such as parasitemias and/or nutrition, in different populations may influence and prolong the serological-diagnostic window period of HIV. view more (2009-07-27)
Food Fortification With Vitamin B12 In Addition To Folic Acid Could Reduce Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease (p 227)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET conclude that vitamin B12 in addition to folic acid should be used to fortify food to lower concentrations of the blood protein homocysteine, thereby potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Mandatory fortification of grain foods with folic acid has been in place in... view more... (2002-01-17)
FEMALE GENITAL SHEDDING OF HIV-1 POSES INFECTION RISK (pp 1564, 1593)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that heterosexual women with HIV-1-including those who have had successful antiretroviral therapy-are at risk of transmitting HIV to their sexual partners and newborn infants as a result of viral shedding in the genital tract. Plasma HIV-1 RNA concentration has been the best predictor for risk of... view more... (2001-11-07)
Physicists uncover new solution for cosmic collisions
It turns out that our math teachers were right: being able to solve problems without a calculator does come in handy in the "real" world. view more (2008-01-11)
Korea offers participation in the ITER fusion experiment
After the USA and China South Korea also recently offered to participate in the ITER international fusion test reactor (Latin for "the journey"). The research project was jointly prepared by European, Japanese and Russian scientists. As stated in a letter from the Korean minister of research, Ho-Koon Park, to the other ITER partners, Korea wants... view more... (2003-07-03)
