Listen to your e-mails by phone
E-mails no longer need to be read; they can be listened to. A program that enables one to hear e-mail messages has been created in Finland. Both a desktop phone and mobile phone can be used to hear the messages. Username and password are given by pressing the phone's push-buttons. The program, called "Mailman", was developed at the... view more... (2001-09-26)
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)
Scientists on track for early diagnosis of neurological diseases
Possible treatments for fatal neurodegenerative diseases such as CJD, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's could result from University of Edinburgh research to find out how specific proteins cause deterioration in brain function. The scientists have discovered for the first time that protein 14-3-3 plays a key role in the development of certain brain... view more... (2003-07-01)
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researchers have evidence a vaccine against malaria will reduce infection and disease rates
Today, researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine's Center for Global Health & Diseases published data potentially having a strong effect on the three billion people exposed to malaria every year. view more (2007-12-21)
The presence of oxygen on carbon nanotubes enhances interaction with ammonia
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), which could play an important role in developing sensors against chemical threats, have enhanced interaction with ammonia because of the presence of oxygen groups on the nanotubes, researchers at Temple University have discovered. view more (2005-07-12)
Scientists discover how smallpox may derail human immune system
University of Florida researchers have learned more about how smallpox conducts its deadly business - discoveries that may reveal as much about the human immune system as they do about one of the world's most feared pathogens. view more (2009-05-12)
Proteomics Center Devises Method for Assigning Probabilities to Human Protein Interactions
The Stowers Institute's Proteomics Center has published a novel method of using normalized spectral counts derived from a series of affinity purifications analyzed by mass spectrometry (APMS) to generate a probabilistic measure of the preference of proteins to associate with one another. view more (2008-01-25)
Scripps research team identifies key molecules that inhibit viral production
The research, led by Professor Donny Strosberg of Scripps Florida, was published on March 4, 2009, in the Journal of General Virology's advance, online edition, Papers in Press. In the new study, Strosberg and his colleagues describe peptides (molecules of two or more amino acids) derived from the core protein of hepatitis C. The team found that... view more... (2009-03-11)
NIAID scientists identify human protein that helps chickenpox and shingles virus spread
A team of scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has identified a human protein that helps varicella-zoster virus, the cause of chickenpox and shingles, spread from cell to cell within the body. view more (2006-10-23)
Gene-bender proteins may sway to DNA
Among the many genes packed into each cell of our body, those that get turned on, or expressed, are the ones that make us who we are. Certain proteins do the job of regulating gene expression by clasping onto key spots of DNA - the nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions. view more (2006-12-05)
Dangerous interaction between the antibiotic ciprofloxacin and the muscle relaxant tizanidine
Researchers from Finland have found that the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (brand names Ciproxin, Ciprofloxacin etc.) greatly increases the concentrations of tizanidine (Sirdalud, Zanaflex) in blood. Concomitant use of ciprofloxacin and tizanidine results in severe and prolonged decrease in blood pressure and greatly enhances central nervous system... view more... (2004-12-15)
The Role Of Phytochromes In Bacteria Revealed
A research team jointly involving the IRD, the CEA and the CNRS has very recently found phytochromes in a strain of nitrogen-fixing bacterium, Bradyrhizobium (1), symbiont on certain tropical leguminous plants (the Aeschynomene). Techniques of molecular biology, biophysics and biochemistry revealed that the newly-discovered phytochrome has an... view more... (2002-05-13)
Protein interaction network can respond Helicobacter pylori infection?
Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is a gram negative bacterium which infects about 50% of the world population. H pylori colonization causes a strong systemic immune response. view more (2009-10-16)
Prion discovery gives clue to control of mass gene expression
The discovery in common brewer's yeast of a new, infectious, misfolded protein -- or prion -- by University of Illinois at Chicago molecular biologists raises new questions about the roles played by these curious molecules, often associated with degenerative brain diseases like "mad cow" and its human counterpart, Creutzfeldt-Jakob. view more (2009-03-16)
Toxoplasmosis infection trick revealed by scientists
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease, primarily carried by cats. It is transmitted to humans by eating undercooked meat or through contact with cat faeces. view more (2007-05-11)
Probability Controls The Molecule Of Life
Thanks to biophysicists, statistics has reached the most intimate aspect of life - regulation of genes' activity. Investigation on probabilistic aspects of molecular biology has been supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the INTAS Foundation. Regulation of genes' activity is one of the most important biological problems which... view more... (2004-05-24)
Researchers find essential proteins for critical stage of malaria
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) have identified the molecular components that enable the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium to infect the salivary glands of the Anopheles mosquito-a critical stage for spreading malaria to humans. view more (2009-01-16)
Pitt researchers find candidates for new HIV drugs
While studying an HIV protein that plays an essential role in AIDS progression, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have discovered compounds that show promise as novel treatments for the disease. view more (2009-10-14)
Stomach receptor for H. pylori discovered
Scientists have determined that decay-accelerating factor (DAF), a protein found in epithelial cells in the stomach, acts as a receptor for the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. view more (2006-05-05)
Getting wise to the influenza virus' tricks
Influenza is currently a grave concern for governments and health organisations around the world. The worry is the potential for highly virulent bird flu strains, such as H5N1, to develop the ability to infect humans easily. New drugs and vaccines to halt the spread of the virus are badly needed. view more (2008-05-05)
