The Worldstars of Packaging Award for a CD holder
Last week the basque researcher Eneritz Tirados received the award, Worldstars of Packaging, for a CD holder. The World Organization of Packaging is the body that organises the competition. The packaging first won an award in the annual competition in Barcelona and promoted by the PRO CARTÃ"N company and organised by ADI-FAD, the association... view more... (2004-05-24)
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)
Estrogen protects liver after traumatic injury
Researchers have identified the receptor pathway used by estrogen to decrease liver injury after trauma and hemorrhage. view more (2007-04-02)
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)
UAB scientists discover the origin of a mysterious force
Scientists at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Imperial College London have discovered the origin of hydration force, a phenomenon that causes some complex chemical and biochemical species (including DNA and other electrostatically charged molecules) to repel at short distances when surrounded by water. Through this research,... view more... (2005-02-28)
New Cancer Gene Discovered
Researchers at the OU Cancer Institute have identified a new gene that causes cancer. The ground-breaking research appears Monday in Nature's cancer journal Oncogene. view more (2008-05-09)
Chloroplast f and m Thioredoxins Discovered in Nonphotosynthetic Tissues
Thioredoxins (TRXs) are a large family of small proteins that function in multiple metabolic processes in all living organisms. They are a good example of proteins that have diversified throughout evolution, probably from one ancestral protein that arose in ancient cyanobacteria. view more (2007-10-16)
Scientists begin to untangle root cause of Alzheimer's disease
"N60" might not be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Alzheimer's disease, but thanks to researchers from the United States, South Korea and France, this might change. view more (2009-09-04)
New crops needed for new climate
Global food security in a changing climate depends on the nutritional value and yield of staple food crops. Researchers at Monash University in Victoria, Australia have found an increase in toxic compounds, a decrease in protein content and a decreased yield in plants grown under high CO2 and drought conditions. view more (2009-06-29)
Marking anorexia with a brain protein
Eating disorders are frequently seen as psychological or societal diseases, but do they have an underlying biological cause? A new study shows that the levels of a brain protein differ between healthy and anorexic women. view more (2009-06-24)
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 pieces of delicate protein have survived in... view more...

Mutant proteins result in infectious prion disease in mice
A worldwide group of scientists has created an infectious prion disease in a mouse model, in a step that may help unravel the mystery of this progressive disease that affects the nervous system in humans and animals. view more (2008-12-08)
Unraveling how cells respond to low oxygen
Gary Chiang, Ph.D., and colleagues at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have elucidated how the stability of the REDD1 protein is regulated. view more (2009-08-06)
Photonic crystal biosensors detect protein-DNA interactions
Scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a new class of disposable, microplate-based optical biosensors capable of detecting protein-DNA interactions. Based on the properties of photonic crystals, the biosensors are suitable for the rapid identification of inhibitors of protein-nucleic acid and protein-protein interactions. view more (2008-09-24)
Huntington's disease problem start early
The damaging effects of the mutated protein involved in Huntington's disease take place earlier in cell life than previously believed, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in a report that appears in the current edition of the journal Neuron. view more (2008-01-10)
New study raises questions about the number of people in the UK who could be incubating vCJD
A team of UK scientists found that 3 out of 12,674 stored appendix and tonsil samples showed evidence of the prion protein associated with vCJD, but urge caution about the way these results are interpreted. The research is published this week in The Journal of Pathology. The study aimed to help health policymakers estimate the numbers of people... view more... (2004-05-18)
Measuring intellectual disability
Researchers from the University of California, Davis have developed a specific and quantitative means of measuring levels of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) protein (FMRP), which is mutated in fragile X syndrome. view more (2009-06-24)
Leeds research points to new therapy for hepatitis C treatment
Combination therapies similar to those used for HIV patients may be the best way of treating hepatitis C virus (HCV), say researchers from the University of Leeds. view more (2008-12-09)
New discovery may improve treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and type 2 diabetes
The discovery opens the way for new drugs to be designed to treat Parkinson's, type 2 diabetis, Alzheimer's and Creuzfeldt-Jacob disease. view more (2005-12-15)
NRL's XFC UAS achieves flight endurance milestone
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has completed a successful flight test of the fuel cell powered XFC (eXperimental Fuel Cell) unmanned aerial system (UAS). view more (2009-08-07)
