New evidence finds an association between periodontal disease and stroke
People missing some or all of their teeth or who have significant loss of bone and tissue surrounding their teeth may be at an increased risk for having a stroke. view more (2006-10-11)
How stem cells are regulated
Researchers from Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) at University of Copenhagen have identified a new group of proteins that regulate the function of stem cells. The results are published in the new issue of Cell. view more (2007-02-23)
Hair-raising stem cells identified
Using an animal model, a research team led by Yann Barrandon at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) and the CHUV (Lausanne University Hospital) has discovered that certain cells inside the hair follicle are true multipotent stem cells, capable of developing into the many different cell types needed for hair growth and follicle... view more...

Cucumber Versus Cucumber
Marine invertebrate called sea cucumber resembles vegetable cucumber by not only shape, but also by some metabolites. The substances produced by the animal can affect the growth of the plant. This study was conducted by Russian biochemists and supported by the RFBR. view more (2004-11-15)
Early promise for treatment of Ebola (p 1953)
Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 12 December 2003. Preliminary findings of an animal study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that scientists have taken an important step towards a possible treatment strategy for the deadly Ebola virus. Haemorragic fever from the Ebola virus is fatal in up to 80%of cases in humans. The virus is thought to... view more... (2003-12-10)
A common genetic mechanism discovered in nitrogen-fixing plants
Some soil microorganisms are capable of forging associations with plant roots in the form of symbioses. Certain of these relationships play a highly important ecological and agronomic role. view more (2008-03-11)
Genome study of beneficial microbe may help boost plant health
In a study expected to greatly benefit crop plants, scientists have deciphered the genome of a root- and seed-dwelling bacterium that protects plants from diseases. view more (2005-06-27)
Sugar metabolism tracked in living plant tissues, in real time
Scientists at Carnegie's Department of Plant Biology have made the first real-time observations of sugars in the cells of intact and living plant tissues. view more (2006-09-01)
Tiny worm provides model for the genetics of nicotine dependence
The unassuming C. elegans nematode worm, a 1-millimeter workhorse of the genetics lab, is quite similar to human beings in its genetic susceptibility to nicotine dependence. view more (2006-11-03)
Evolutionary conservation of a mechanism of longevity from worms to mammals
Though the study of aging in the nematode model organism C. elegans has provided much insight into this complex process, it is not yet clear whether genes involved in aging in the worm have a similar role in mammals. view more (2005-10-05)
Alternatives to pine bark and peatmoss identified for commercial, home gardens
Pine bark and peatmoss are the two most common substrates used for horticultural crop production in the southeastern United States, but both media can present challenges to growers. Reduced forestry production and increased use of pine bark as fuel and landscape mulch has made the medium less available, while the price of peatmoss is rising due to... view more... (2009-03-26)
New research may reduce global need for nitrogen fertilizers
Research published tomorrow (June 29) in the journal Nature reveals how scientists at the John Innes Centre (JIC), Norwich and Washington State University, USA have managed to trigger nodulation in legumes, a key element of the nitrogen fixing process, without the bacteria normally necessary. view more (2006-06-29)
Waxy plant substance key for absorption of water, nutrients
While proving a long-held theory that suberin blocks water and nutrient absorption in plants, a Purdue University scientist learned more about manipulating the substance to better feed plants. view more (2009-05-26)
Chromosomes dance and pair up on the nuclear membrane
Meiosis - the pairing and recombination of chromosomes, followed by segregation of half to each egg or sperm cell - is a major crossroads in all organisms reproducing sexually. view more (2009-11-16)
Protein-coated dental implants could improve bone regeneration
Titanium dental implants coated with proteins that induce bone formation may be a key advancement in treating tooth loss due to gum disease, researchers say. view more (2006-07-18)
Sweet potato promise shines for small enterprise and hunger relief in developing countries
Sweetpotatoes, often misunderstood and underrated, are receiving new attention as a life-saving food crop in developing countries. view more (2007-11-05)
Why you may lose that loving feeling after tying the knot
Dating couples whose dreams include marriage would do well to step back and reflect upon the type of support they'll need from their partners when they cross the threshold, a new Northwestern University study suggests. view more (2009-04-22)
Vet medicine researcher examines link between cancer, Down syndrome
here's new hope for breast cancer research, and it's coming from a very unlikely place. Researchers at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences recently published articles in the journals Molecular and Cellular Biology and Carcinogenesis indicating that a protein long suspected to play a role in Down... view more...

New target for cancer therapy may improve treatment for solid tumors
Targeting and killing the non-malignant cells that surround and support a cancer can stop tumor growth in mice, reports a research team based at the University of Chicago Medical Center in the March 1, 2008, issue of the journal Cancer Research. The discovery offers a new approach to treating cancers that are resistant to standard therapy. view more (2008-03-04)
Legume compounds may help cancer treatment
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrative Legume Research (CILR) has lodged a complete patent application for compounds to treat cancer. view more (2006-04-10)
