First calves from gene diagnosed embryos born at MTT Agrifood Research Finland
Results from quantitative trait gene mapping (QTL) have been utilised for the first time in the selection of bovine embryos. The genotypes of two genes affecting milk yield and composition have been analysed from pre-implantation embryo biopsies. The first four female calves with known milk... view more (2003-08-14)

Key molecule discovered in Venus's atmosphere
Venus Express has detected the molecule hydroxyl on another planet for the first time. This detection gives scientists an important new tool to unlock the workings of Venus's dense atmosphere.   view more (2008-05-16)

Landmine blitzing
Unexploded anti-personnel landmines litter the border between Croatia and what was once Yugoslavia. The mine-infested area spans more or less half of the country and roughly 1,700 km2 of minefields are left to clear. EUREKA's first foray into anti-personnel landmine technology, the ORACLE project... view more (2003-05-14)

Many pet snakes are venomous!
Big trouble for the European and US pet snake trade Dr. Bryan Grieg Fry of the Australian Venom Research Unit at the University of Melbourne has discovered that the number of venomous snakes in the world is not around 250 but actually closer to 2700. In his research into the evolution of snake... view more (2003-08-25)

Illuminating Alzheimer's: Research sheds light on creatine's presence in brain
Alzheimer's disease is one of the most hauntingly destructive maladies to wreak havoc on humans. It robs children of parents and spouses of each other-with lifetimes of memories lost forever behind blank stares.    view more (2005-12-22)

Model offers new understanding of cell signaling
Looking for answers in the bright light of day, rather than the confined beam of a street light at night. That's how University of Michigan researcher Sofia Merajver, M.D., Ph.D., describes the power of a new mathematical model that could have far-reaching impact on how scientists study cellular... view more (2008-03-25)

'Frequency comb' spectroscopy proves to be powerful chemical analysis tool
Physicists at JILA have designed and demonstrated a highly sensitive new tool for real-time analysis of the quantity, structure and dynamics of a variety of atoms and molecules simultaneously, even in minuscule gas samples.   view more (2006-03-17)

New Mayo Clinic MRI technology enables noninvasive liver diagnoses
Two recent Mayo Clinic studies have found that magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a new imaging technique invented at Mayo Clinic, is an accurate tool for non-invasive diagnosis of liver diseases.   view more (2007-05-23)

Living fossil roams the seas
Fossil' fish coelacanth, first dragged up along the coast of South Africa in 1938, having been considered extinct for 65 million years. Because of its close resemblance to land animals, it has attracted attention to the subject of a 'missing link' between tetrapods and humans.   view more (2005-07-13)

Novel laboratory model reveals clues to how blood starts clotting
Researchers at the University of Chicago have crafted a simple model for predicting when and where hemostasis - the technical term for blood clotting - will occur.   view more (2006-10-27)

New Device Revolutionizes Nano Imaging

Portion-control dishes may help obese diabetics lose weight
A plate and cereal bowl with markers for proper portion sizes appear to help obese patients with diabetes lose weight and decrease their use of glucose-controlling medications.   view more (2007-06-26)

Researchers develop marker that identifies energy-producing centers in nerve cells
A protein that causes coral to glow is helping researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine to light up brain cells that are critical for the proper functioning of the central nervous system.   view more (2007-02-02)

Uppsala scientists behind acclaimed health site
The health site PQL, which has been tested by Swedish Broadcasting Corporation, among others, has been shown to have a clear effect on health. For instance, treatment via the Internet counteracted stress-related reduction of DHEA, an "anti-aging" hormone. PQL is the result of several... view more (2004-05-26)

Breakthrough in plant research
The research groups of the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences of the University of Helsinki and the University of California in San Diego have discovered a gene that is centrally involved in the regulation of carbon dioxide uptake for photosynthesis and water evaporation in plants.   view more (2008-02-28)

Ships bring alien jellyfish invaders to our shores
Marine environments around the world are being threatened by exotic species of the moon jellyfish being dispersed by international shipping, according to new research.   view more (2005-08-16)
