Lipid droplets lead a Spartin existence
Spartin, a protein linked to the neuronal disease Troyer syndrome, was thought to function in endocytosis. In the March 23, 2009 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology (www.jcb.org), Eastman et al. identify an unexpected role for Spartin in regulating the cell's lipid storage depots. view more (2009-03-23)
Smoking can harm the long-term effects of some oral surgery procedures
A study in the September issue of the Journal of Periodontology (JOP) found that smokers had less desirable long term results following periodontal plastic surgery than non-smokers. view more (2007-09-19)
Opiate drugs increase vulnerability to stress
A new study has found that opiate drugs such as morphine leave animals more vulnerable to stress. This means that stress and opiates are in a vicious cycle: Not only does stress trigger drug use, but in return the drug leaves animals more vulnerable to stress. view more (2005-08-29)
Afghanistan to protect wildlife and wild lands
In a country known more for conflict than conservation, a joint effort by the government of Afghanistan and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been launched to protect the region's unique wildlife and develop the country's first official system of protected areas. view more (2006-06-29)
Burrowing mammals dig for a living, but how do they do that?
Next time you see a mole digging in tree-root-filled soil in search of supper, take a moment to ponder the mammal's humerus bones. view more (2007-10-29)
Therapeutic delivery of a gene to dysfunctional nerves
Medical conditions that affect sensory nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are known as sensory neuronopathies. These conditions, which are extremely painful, include shingles and can be caused by anticancer drugs such as cisplatin. view more (2009-06-16)
New understanding of human sacrifice in early Peru
A study published in the August/October issue of Current Anthropology, reports on new archaeological evidence regarding the identities of human sacrifice victims of the Moche society of Peru. view more (2005-08-26)
Shopping is a way of interacting with the world around us
Our relationship with objects is multilayered and often very emotional, and this is expressed in the way we shop. Swedish ethnologist Erik Ottoson of Uppsala University has studied the way we look for things in shopping malls, town centres and flea markets, and even in skips. view more (2008-06-03)
DOE JGI sequences, releases genome of symbiotic tree fungus
The DNA sequence of Laccaria bicolor, a fungus that forms a beneficial symbiosis with trees and inhabits one of the most ecologically and commercially important microbial niches in North American and Eurasian forests, has been determined by the U.S. Department of Energy DOE Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI). view more (2006-07-25)
Nanotechnology meets biology and DNA finds its groove
The object of fascination for most is the DNA molecule. But in solution, DNA, the genetic material that hold the detailed instructions for virtually all life, is a twisted knot, looking more like a battered ball of yarn than the famous double helix. To study it, scientists generally are forced to work with collections of molecules floating in... view more... (2007-02-09)
High intracoronary attenuation improves accuracy of 64-slice CT-CA
High intracoronary attenuation significantly improves diagnostic accuracy in 64-slice CT-CA of the coronary arteries. view more (2007-05-07)
Early onset of puberty - the EU gets serious
Children in Europe and other parts of the world are entering puberty at an ever younger age. The reasons for this are unknown, and the EU is now financing a major three-year project called PIONEER in a determined effort to get to the root of the problem. Two Swedish research groups are involved in the project, both from Karolinska Institutet. view more (2005-03-30)
Prediction of gene function in mammals
Gene function in mammals can be quickly and reliably predicted using a high-throughput analysis of patterns of RNA expression, according to an article published today in Journal of Biology. This challenges the conventional view that tissue-specificity is the best predictor of function, and could speed up the quest to understand whole genomes, in... view more... (2004-12-02)
How can we make nanoscale capacitors even smaller?
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have discovered what limits our ability to reduce the size of capacitors, often the largest components in integrated circuits, down to the nanoscale. view more (2006-10-13)
Sex and lifespan linked in worms: a family of sugar-like molecules controls both
A group of scientists who set out to study sex pheromones in a tiny worm found that the same family of pheromones also controls a stage in the worms' life cycle, the long-lived dauer larva. view more (2008-07-24)
Scientists exploring new compounds to target muscular dystrophy
Scientists have identified a promising set of new compounds in the fight against muscular dystrophy. view more (2008-11-19)
New research on mutation in yeast can enhance understanding of human diseases
Yeast, a model organism heavily relied upon for studying basic biological processes as they relate to human health, mutates in a distinctly different pattern than other model organisms, a finding that brings researchers closer to understanding the role of evolutionary genetics in human diseases and cancer. view more (2008-06-20)
Turmeric prevents experimental rheumatoid arthritis, bone loss, University of Arizona study shows
An ancient spice, long used in traditional Asian medicine, may hold promise for the prevention of both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, according to a recently completed study at The University of Arizona College of Medicine. view more (2006-10-30)
Fast-freeze snapshot yields new picture of nerve-muscle junction
When nerve cells excite muscle fibers to flex, getting synaptic proteins and components into the right place can mean the difference between feats of strength or lapses of drowsy lethargy. view more (2006-09-08)
1st EMBO Award for Communication in the Life Sciences goes to Dutch worm scientist
Heidelberg, November 4th Ronald Plasterk (45), from the Netherlands Institute for Developmental Biology in Utrecht, is the winner of the first EMBO (European Molecular Biology Organization) Award for Communication in the Life Sciences. The prize, consisting of Euro 5.000 and a handcrafted silver and gold medal, will be awarded on November 9th 2002... view more... (2002-11-04)
