New research lights up chronic bacterial infection inside bone
A new report demonstrates how a sensitive imaging technique gives scientists the upper hand in seeking out bacteria in chronic infections. view more (2008-12-23)
New type of sirolimus-eluting stent demonstrates superior results
A new type of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) successfully showed significantly greater neointimal suppression than the paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) with greater vessel wall integrity surrounding the stent, confirming the finding of superiority of the SES over the PES stent for the trial's primary endpoint of in-stent late loss. view more (2009-09-22)
TU Delft tests windmill for seawater desalination
A traditional windmill which drives a pump: that is the simple concept behind the combination of windmill/reverse osmosis developed by the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in The Netherlands. In this case, it involves a high-pressure pump which pushes water through a membrane using approximately 60 bar. This reverse osmosis membrane... view more... (2008-03-03)
Cancer stem cells similar to normal stem cells can thwart anti-cancer agents
Current cancer therapies often succeed at initially eliminating the bulk of the disease, including all rapidly proliferating cells, but are eventually thwarted because they cannot eliminate a small reservoir of multiple-drug-resistant tumor cells, called cancer stem cells, which ultimately become the source of disease recurrence and eventual... view more...

Camcorder fueled with hydrogen
Peep! "Please switch off. Power supply almost exhausted." Every day millions of mobile phone, palmtop, notebook, portable CD player and camcorder users are driven to fury by this warning. Without a power source, this wonderful new wealth of modern electronics is of no use at all. Yet the mobile and wireless trend still surges on. Electronic... view more... (2001-04-19)
Reservoirs may accelerate the spread of invasive aquatic species, researchers say
Just as disturbance makes a landscape susceptible to invasion by alien plant species, the construction of reservoirs around the globe could be contributing to the accelerating spread of exotic aquatic species. view more (2005-05-31)
Middle East virus `here to stay` in USA
A virus that originated in the Middle East has become endemic in certain parts of the USA and is set to spread further over the coming year, medical experts heard today (Wednesday 09 January 2002) during a joint meeting of the European Societies of Clinical and Veterinary Virology and the Society for General Microbiology at the Royal College of... view more...

Which segments of the gastrointestinal tract does Salmonella enteritidis penetrate?
Incidence of Salmonella enteritidis infection is common in hospitals for children, the elderly, and immuno-suppressed individuals. A paper in the December 28, 2007 of the World Journal of Gastroenterology (volume 5, issue 48) is notable because of its potential significance for Salmonella enteritidis therapy in the future. view more (2008-01-17)
New materials can selectively capture carbon dioxide, UCLA chemists report
UCLA chemists report a major advance in reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Science. view more (2008-02-15)
New hope for the red squirrel
A number of red squirrels are immune to squirrelpox viral disease, which many believed would lead to the extinction of the species, scientists have discovered. view more (2008-10-17)
CO2 storage in coal can be predicted better
CO2 storage in the ground is being considered increasingly more often in order to realise the climate and energy objectives. Dutch researcher Saikat Mazumder made it possible to better predict routes of the 'underground highways' along which gasses like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) will move. view more (2007-04-16)
Tiny 'cages' could trap carbon dioxide and help stop climate change
A natural physical process has been identified that could play a key role in secure sub-seabed storage of carbon dioxide produced by fossil-fuelled power stations. view more (2006-03-17)
Pets could be source of multiresistant bacteria infections in humans, MU researchers investigate
The next time you have difficulty fighting a bacterial infection, your next trip to the doctor might be to the family veterinarian. view more (2007-08-01)
Statins have unexpected effect on pool of powerful brain cells
Cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins have a profound effect on an elite group of cells important to brain health as we age, scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have found. The new findings shed light on a long-debated potential role for statins in the area of dementia. view more (2008-07-07)
To keep mouths safe, don't just wear a mouthguard; keep it clean
Fractured teeth, neck injuries and abrasions in the mouth, also known as sports-related dental injuries, are ever present among athletes. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, sports-related dental injuries account for more than 600,000 emergency room visits each year. view more (2007-12-11)
Groundbreaking research in Scotland
A £5.85 million pound study of the soil in the Cheviot Hills has finally come to an end, producing a huge wealth of new information for scientists. view more (2004-03-31)
Potent possibilities for parasite attack
A comparison of three parasite species that cause Leishmaniasis has identified a small number of genes, many new to biology, that will provide a framework to target the search for new treatments. view more (2007-06-18)
Ebola outbreaks killing thousands of gorillas and chimpanzees
Why have large outbreaks of Ebola virus killed tens of thousands of gorillas and chimpanzees over the last decade? Observations published in the May issue of The American Naturalist provide new clues, suggesting that outbreaks may be amplified by Ebola transmission between ape social groups. view more (2007-04-17)
Charting the path of the deadly Ebola virus in central Africa
Over the past ten years, separate outbreaks of the deadly Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV) have killed hundreds of humans and tens of thousands of great apes in Gabon and the Republic of Congo-which harbor roughly 80% of the last remaining wild gorilla and chimpanzee populations. view more (2005-10-25)
Study: Sea stars bulk up to beat the heat
A new study finds that a species of sea star stays cool using a strategy never before seen in the animal kingdom. The sea stars soak up cold sea water into their bodies during high tide as buffer against potentially damaging temperatures brought about by direct sunlight at low tide. view more (2009-11-18)
