Penn researchers use honeybee venom toxin to develop a new tool for studying hypertension
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have modified a honeybee venom toxin so that it can be used as a tool to study the inner workings of ion channels that control heart rate and the recycling of salt in kidneys. view more (2008-09-18)
Genomic sequences processed in minutes, rather than weeks
A new computational tool developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is speeding up our understanding of the machinery of life - bringing us one step closer to curing diseases, finding safer ways to clean the environment and protecting the country against biological threats. view more (2005-06-22)

New Tool May Help with Early Detection of Deadly Pancreatic Cancer
A new diagnostic tool developed by Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) scientists has shown promising results when used with patients of pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of cancer due to the difficulty of diagnosing it in its early stages. view more (2009-08-04)
New dementia screening tool detects early cognitive problems missed by commonly used test
A screening tool for dementia developed by Saint Louis University geriatricians appears to work better in identifying mild cognitive problems in the elderly than the commonly used Mini Mental Status Examination, according to a new study. view more (2006-11-01)
Use of stone hammers sheds light on geographic patterns of chimpanzee tool use
In a finding that challenges a long-held belief regarding the cultural spread of tool use among chimpanzees, researchers report that chimpanzees in the Ebo forest, Cameroon, use stone hammers to crack open hard-shelled nuts to access the nutrient-rich seeds. view more (2006-08-22)
Raman Effect Brings Nano up to Size : Raman/Rayleigh Imaging of Nanosized Materials
Materials made with (or from) nanophases received considerable attention in the last few years but their characterisation is not easy. Unique properties (conductivity, diffusion, reactivity, sintering, mechanical strength….) have been reported for nanostructured materials, all of which result from the interfacial characteristics. Raman... view more... (2003-06-08)
Researchers urge hospital doctors to routinely assess blood clot risks in emergency medical admissions
Introducing a simple risk assessment tool could increase the number of patients receiving vital medication for dangerous blood clots, according to a paper just published online by IJCP, the International Journal of Clinical Practice. view more (2005-03-21)
Making sense of the genome
Almost every week we hear of a new genome sequence being completed, yet turning sequence information into knowledge about what individual genes do is very difficult. An article published in Journal of Biology this week will simplify this task, as it describes a new online tool that dramatically improves predictions of how individual genes are... view more...

New protein tag enhances view within living cells
The view into the inner world of living cells just got a little brighter and more colorful. A powerful new research tool, when used with other labeling technologies, allows simultaneous visualization of two or more different proteins as well as the ability to distinguish young and old copies of a protein within one living cell. view more (2008-02-25)

Anxiety disorders surprisingly common yet often untreated
A new study by researchers led by Kurt Kroenke, M.D., of the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Regenstrief Institute, Inc. reports that nearly 20 percent of patients seen by primary care physicians have at least one anxiety disorder. view more (2007-03-13)
Quicker, faster, better calibration and machine calibration in the workplace from NPL
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is launching a revolutionary new measurement system that will bring laboratory level standards to the shop floor. The technology enables significantly improved calibration times and thereby, minimises machine downtime for industries across the manufacturing sector. view more (2008-04-15)
Strain has major effect on high-temp superconductors
Just a little mechanical strain can cause a large drop in the maximum current carried by high-temperature superconductors, according to novel measurements carried out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2007-02-16)
Pressure to get in shape
Electric windows, air-conditioning, ABS braking and airbags have become standard features in most vehicles. But while electronic components increase the safety and comfort of cars, they also make them heavier; and the greater a car's weight, the higher its fuel consumption. One solution is to shed weight. Since few motorists are nowadays willing... view more... (2002-12-20)
Study gives clues about how deadly bacterium gains foothold
How a potentially deadly bacterium that could be used as a bioterrorist tool eludes being killed by the human immune system is now better understood. view more (2006-12-20)
ERAUZTERM: tool for extracting lexical terms in Basque
The IXA group at the University of the Basque Country and the Elhuyar Foundation have developed a tool for extracting terms from Basque texts. The tool uses linguistic and statistical techniques and has been implemented with XML technology. The tool was presented at the LREC 2004 and GLAT 2004 international congresses. view more (2004-09-09)
Scientists develop malaria forecasting tool to predict disease risk
A new tool to predict epidemics of malaria up to five months in advance has been developed by a scientist at the University of Liverpool. view more (2006-02-07)
Chimpanzees help each other on request but not voluntarily
The evolution of altruism has long puzzled researchers and has mainly been explained previously from ultimate perspectives-I will help you now because I expect there to be some long-term benefit to me. view more (2009-10-15)
