3-D modelling at the University of Warwick is set to revolutionise how we learn about history by digitally recreating archaeological sites and ancient monuments around the Kilmartin Valley, Argyll, Scotland's most spectacular and richest prehistoric landscape. Researchers from e-lab at the University of Warwick, have begun applying virtual reality... view more... (2003-04-23)
Class of antibiotics can enhance gene-silencing tool
A way to turn off one gene at a time has earned acceptance in biology laboratories over the last decade. Doctors envision the technique, called RNA interference, as a tool to treat a variety of diseases if it can be adapted to humans. view more (2008-07-21)
MIT reports new twist in microRNA biology
MIT scientists have found a new way that DNA can carry out its work that is about as surprising as discovering that a mold used to cast a metal tool can also serve as a tool itself, with two complementary shapes each showing distinct functional roles. view more (2008-01-14)
New tool to assess speech development in infants, toddlers with hearing impairments
The number of hearing impaired infants and toddlers who are successfully aided by technological devices, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, continues to grow, but there are still unknowns about these children's speaking abilities, according to a Purdue University expert. view more (2008-09-24)
New diagnostic tool brings effective treatment closer to cancer patients
Significant progress towards identifying the genetic make-up of individual tumours, hence allowing treatment choices to be made based on personalised information, was announced at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference today.

Scientists mine drugs database for new diabetes treatment
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have harnessed a new drug discovery tool to identify a new player in the body's insulin secretion process. This finding could spark a completely new class of drugs to treat type 2 diabetes. view more (2009-02-23)
Online tool supports more dialogue on prostate cancer risk
A comprehensive, clinical nomogram tool, the Sunnybrook Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator - the first to use all known risk factors for prostate cancer - is available online to help men determine individual prostate cancer risk in consultation with their primary care physician. view more (2008-02-05)
Scientists fix bugs in our understanding of evolution
What makes a human different from a chimp? Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute [EMBL-EBI] have come one important step closer to answering such evolutionary questions correctly. view more (2008-06-20)
ESA service makes customised maps available to African aid workers
The map is not the territory, runs the famous quote, but maps do represent an unparalleled tool for emergency management. Nobody knows this better than humanitarian organisations like Médecins Sans Frontie'res, whose work often occurs within territories without any usable maps whatsoever. ESA has been working in partnership with... view more... (2004-11-30)
