A key to male fertility
Until now, mutations of the LH hormone receptor were the only explanation known for sexual precocity in boys. A team at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC, CNRS / Inserm / Université Louis Pasteur de Strasbourg)), in collaboration with researchers at the University of Dallas and the University of Louvain, has... view more...

Where's the beef? Not enough of it is on elders' plates, muscle-metabolism study suggests
Scientists at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston have good news for people who want to stay strong in their old age: older bodies are just as good as young ones at turning protein-rich food into muscle.   view more (2007-08-09)

Researchers discover cell's 'quality control' mechanism
Researchers in Japan and Canada have discovered a key component of the quality control mechanism that operates inside human cells - sometimes too well. The breakthrough has significant implications for the development of new treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF) and some other hereditary diseases, the researchers say. Their results were published... view more... (2008-07-30)

Nanoparticle synthesis allows particle size and shape to be tailored to end applications
Nanomaterials are increasingly gaining the attention of not only the scientific community, but also the public due to their unique properties which endear them to new and exciting applications.   view more (2005-11-30)

New Insights into the Mechanisms of Rapamycin
Rapamycin is a new drug which is being used for preventing organ rejection in kidney transplant patients. Since it suppresses the immune response and has a strong cell killing effect, it is a highly interesting substance for potential use in other disease areas such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and diabetes mellitus. A recent publication of the... view more... (2004-04-07)

Novel processing of Yttrium Aluminum Garnet promises improved raw materials for lasers
Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) is an important material used in the production of laser systems, for coating electronic devices, for tubes of cathodic rays and recently it has been considered as a suitable material for structural applications at high temperatures.   view more (2005-10-19)

Study finds protein is required for human chromosome production
Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have identified an elusive protein that performs a necessary step in the production of human chromosomes.   view more (2005-10-13)

Genes may determine success of hip replacement surgery
The success of long term hip replacement surgery may lie in the genes, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.   view more (2007-03-15)

Elevated inflammatory marker may be linked to increased risk of age-related eye disease
High blood levels of C-reactive protein, a substance linked to inflammation, appear to be associated with an increased risk for age-related macular degeneration.   view more (2007-10-09)

How Life Originated In Space
Life originated on the Earth more than 3.5 billion years ago. However, the scientists are still disputing over the possible sources of the life origin. The matter is that life on our planet evolved from the molecular level to the level of bacteria organisms within 0.5 - 1 billion years, this period being very short for such an important... view more...

Thioethers synthesis process
Although today there exists a number of methods for the synthesis of organic molecules (the main components of certain medicines, foods, additives, paints, fabrics, liquid crystals, etc.), in most cases toxic reagents and solvents have to be used.   view more (2007-04-03)

Study links chemical to inhibited milk synthesis, secretion in humans
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers have identified the neurotransmitter serotonin as the chemical responsible for inhibiting milk production and secretion in human mammary glands.   view more (2007-10-09)

Low cholesterol cues cataract development
Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Using a rat model of cataract formation, Masayuki Mori and researchers at Shinshu University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan have now found a link between cataracts and cholesterol.   view more (2006-01-27)

Insulin boost restores muscle growth in elderly
When most people think of insulin, they think of diabetes - a disease that arises when, for one reason or another, insulin can't do the critical job of helping the body process sugar.   view more (2009-09-28)

New Piece Found in the Puzzle of Epigenetics
A team of scientists led by Professor Dirk Eick of Helmholtz Zentrum München has identified the enzyme TFIIH kinase as an important factor in the epigenetic regulation of the cell nucleus enzyme RNA polymerase II.    view more (2009-06-17)

Bedsores and bald hides: Novel roles revealed for a 'scaffolding' protein
A protein long thought to provide only mechanical support for keeping cells and tissues from literally falling apart turns out to have much wider utility.   view more (2006-05-18)

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)

Capturing cell protein production in action could help fight antibiotic resistance
The fight against antibiotic resistance could be aided by new 3D images of the final steps involved in manufacturing proteins in living cells, scientists reveal today in a letter to Nature. By refining a technique known as cryo-electron microscopy, researchers from Imperial College London and CNRS-Inserm-Strasbourg University have determined how... view more... (2004-02-25)

Case researcher in RNA biology makes waves by challenging current thinking
In the January 18th issue of Molecular Cell, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researcher Kristian E. Baker, Ph.D. challenges molecular biology's established body of evidence and widely-accepted model for nonsense-mediated messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) decay.   view more (2008-01-21)
