One nano-step closer to weighing a single atom
By studying gold nanoparticles with highly uniform sizes and shapes, scientists now understand how they lose energy, a key step towards producing nanoscale detectors for weighing any single atom.   view more (2009-07-28)

Deadly dose: Rensselaer heparin expert helps uncover source of lethal contamination
The mysterious death of patients around the world following a routine dosage of the common blood thinner, heparin, sent researchers on a frantic search to uncover what could make the standard drug so toxic.   view more (2008-04-28)

Scientific advance establishes ‘proof of principle’ that prion diseases might be prevented using monoclonal antibody technology
UK scientists have made a major scientific advance by establishing proof of principle that the development of prion disease can be prevented in mice using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The work lays the foundation for further research to explore the potential of mAbs to treat specific prion diseases such as CJD and vCJD. The work is published... view more... (2003-03-03)

Self-regulating molecular 'transformers' control intracellular protein delivery
Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have uncovered the Transformer like properties of molecules responsible for carrying and depositing proteins to their correct locations within cells.   view more (2009-02-11)

A clue to core problem of neurodegenerative disease and cell death
Misfolded and damaged proteins are common to all human neurodegenerative diseases. Clumps of these aggregated proteins destroy neurons within the brain and cause disease.   view more (2006-02-10)

EC funds new wave of TSE-related research projects and extends Inventory of TSE research to Eastern and Central European countries
Following an invitation to scientists to submit their proposals for research projects on Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE), 15 research projects on BSE and related encephalopathies have been short-listed for funding with a European Commission contribution of EUR21.5 million. This additional funding brings the total sum provided by... view more... (2002-04-10)
