Why Do Firms Raise Prices More Readily Than They Reduce Them?
EMBARGOED UNTIL 00:01 HRS MONDAY 20 JANUARY 2003 Chancellors and central bankers face a perennial headache: booms typically cause inflation, while recessions mainly reduce output without reducing prices or inflation. New ESRC-funded research by Professor V Bhaskar of the University of Essex... view more (2003-01-14)

CSH Protocols publishes cutting-edge methods for analyzing complex molecular interactions

Stem cell research to benefit horse owners and trainers
In a potential breakthrough for the performance horse industry (such as racing and polo), Melbourne scientists are aiming to harness stem cells to repair tendon, ligament, cartilage and bone damage in horses.   view more (2008-10-21)

Genomics reveals mechanism of heat resistance in bacteria
Warm-blooded creatures maintain a relatively stable body temperature that cannot tolerate the stress of intense heat (or cold).   view more (2005-08-23)

Rice lab finds molecular clues to Wilson disease
Using a combination of computer simulations and cutting-edge lab experiments, physical biochemists at Rice University have discovered how a small genetic mutation -- which is known to cause Wilson disease -- subtly changes the structure of a large, complex protein that the body uses to keep copper... view more (2008-08-20)

Protein splicing upsets the DNA colinearity paradigm
Understanding medical research problems often relies on the direct, linear relationship between the sequence of a protein and the DNA encoding that protein.   view more (2006-09-08)

Lessons from yeast: A possible cure for Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson disease (PD) is a debilitating and lethal neurodegenerative disease, for which there is currently no cure. It is caused by the progressive loss of nerve cells that produce the chemical dopamine and is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal aggregates of a protein called alpha-syn... view more (2008-08-15)

Researchers discover a new genetic cause of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) connected to the University of Antwerp are the first to show that the quantity of amyloid protein in brain cells is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2006-04-20)

U of M researchers determine structure of protein that mutates DNA of the AIDS virus HIV-1
Understanding the structure of proteins involved in inhibiting HIV-1 infection could help in the battle against AIDS, and University of Minnesota researchers have taken a crucial step in that direction.   view more (2008-02-21)

Can cancer drugs combine forces?
Individuals with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are treated first with a drug known as imatinib (Gleevec), which targets the protein known to cause the cancer (BCR-ABL).   view more (2007-08-17)

NASA Detects Trends in Rainfall Traits from Drizzles to Downpours
Breaking news in recent years has been swamped with stories of extreme weather — flash floods in East Asia, prolonged drought in Africa, destructive hurricanes like Hurricane Katrina, heavy monsoon rainfall in South Asia, and an historic heat wave in Europe.   view more (2007-03-06)

Gene and protein databases in your pocket - BioWAP
The first WAP service for life scientists has been launched and now biological and medical information can be accessed from mobile phones. The service itself is free of charge, like other Internet databases, but telephone operators of course take their share. The BioWAP service has been developed... view more (2000-09-28)

Little Crashes Could Protect Stock Market

Could the answer be to "immunise" the... view more (2002-08-07)

Unique partnership produces life-critical 3D structures
Most diseases are caused by malfunctions in the body's complex protein machinery. The next generation of drugs will be designed on the basis of 3D protein models that scientists are creating.   view more (2007-03-29)

Fragments of dinosaur protein survive in bone fossils
Proteins are tougher than we think - which is good news for scientists trying to piece together the history of evolution from fragments of ancient DNA. In this month’s (December 2000) edition of the journal, Geology, Dr Matthew Collins, of Newcastle University, England, shows how significant... view more (2000-12-18)
