Model successfully predicts large river system fish diversity
While scientists have developed methods to predict aspects of fish diversity in specific river locations, a model to understand what factors may drive a comprehensive suite of fish biodiversity patterns in a large and complex system of rivers has been elusive.   view more (2008-05-09)

Swell alcohol detector
A new, highly sensitive way of detecting alcohol vapour is published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. Researchers from the University of Yamanashi and the TRI Chemical Laboratory Inc in Japan have designed and tested new plastic optical fibre sensors... view more (2001-05-31)

ANALYTICA 2004: Trapping Smallest Bioparticles
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) and the Norwegian NorChip AS have jointly developed a chip-based µ-concentrator.

Fishing for the Origins of Genome Complexity
Biologists at Georgia Tech have provided scientific support for a controversial hypothesis that has divided the fields of evolutionary genomics and evolutionary developmental biology, popularly known as evo devo, for two years.   view more (2005-12-16)

UNC School of Pharmacy researchers create new synthetic heparin
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have patented a synthetic version of the drug heparin, called Recomparin, that is less complex chemically and should be easier to produce than previous forms.   view more (2007-09-24)

Marsupial genome reveals insights into mammalian evolution
The genetic code of marsupials has now been documented for the first time. An international team led by Kathy Belov from the University of Sydney's Faculty of Veterinary Science published an analysis of the marsupial genome in the open access journal PLoS Biology.   view more (2006-01-31)

An HIV Vaccine is within reach
An effective, affordable, and accessible HIV vaccine is 7-10 years away, according to scientists at the Medical Research Council of South Africa, in this week's BMJ. However, its success depends on a complex interplay of politics, science, and public-private partnerships.   view more (2002-01-23)

Watching rocks grow: Theory explains landscape of geothermal springs
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have successfully modeled the spectacular landscapes seen at geothermal hot springs.   view more (2006-07-06)

Molecular partners required for appropriate neuronal gene repression
In their efforts to understand the complex biology of life, scientists often seek to isolate individual elements of the puzzle for study, to break the problem down to a more manageable size. Single genes and molecules are closely analyzed to better understand their specific interactions with other... view more (2005-08-04)

Chromatin remodeling complex connected to DNA damage control
When molecular disaster strikes, causing structural damage to DNA, players in two important pathways talk to each other to help contain the wreckage, scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the August edition of Cell.   view more (2007-08-10)

Finding the needle in a chemical haystack
Imagine you're standing in the middle of a crowded square, and you've been asked to find one particular person. But all you know is that he or she speaks a specific dialect. A similar situation is faced by chemists hunting for pharmacologically useful ingredients in natural plant extracts. Out of... view more (2003-07-25)

Monkey see, monkey do?
What is the very best way to learn a complex task? Is it practice, practice, practice, or is watching and thinking enough to let you imitate a physical activity, such as skiing or ballet? A new study from Brandeis University published this week in the Journal of Vision unravels some of the... view more (2007-03-20)

Are comets at the origin of life on earth ?
For over 60 years now, the University of Liege Astrophysics and Geophysics Institute (IAGL) has been concerned with the study of comets. Again today, four of its researchers have just made a major discovery for the understanding of these celestial objects : a lot of extra heavy nitrogen detected in... view more (2003-09-11)

First 'rule' of evolution suggests that life is destined to become more complex
In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences researchers have found evidence which suggests that evolution drives animals to become increasingly more complex.   view more (2008-03-18)

Skin Condition Linked to Genetics in Caucasian and Chinese Populations
A study at the University of Sheffield in the UK was conducted on the skin condition called psoriasis, revealing a link between susceptibility to psoriasis and regions on chromosomes 6p21 and 4q28-q31. According to the study, psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory dermatosis, is believed to be... view more (2004-07-15)

FURTHER STEPS TOWARDS A VACCINE AGAINST HIV
For white blood cells in the human body to be infected by the HIV virus, proteins in the virus must be allowed to interact with a number of different components on the surface of the white blood cell. Ideally anti-HIV preventive therapy or vaccines would prevent several of these interactions taking... view more (1999-03-11)

Understanding the migration of cancer cells
Lamellipodia are veil-shaped protrusions of the plasma membrane, that can turn into upward-curled ruffles if they fail to adhere to the substrate.   view more (2008-06-23)

UW-Madison engineers develop higher-energy liquid-transportation fuel from sugar
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and combine it with water molecules and sunshine to make carbohydrate or sugar. Variations on this process provide fuel for all of life on Earth.   view more (2007-06-21)

Medication-releasing stent reduces risk of artery re-narrowing following angioplasty
Compared to bare metal stents, placement of stents that release the medication paclitaxel reduces the risk of the artery re-narrowing nine months following angioplasty for patients with complex coronary artery lesions.   view more (2005-09-14)

Breast cancer : Discovery of a new tumor marker
At the Curie Institute in Paris, CNRS researchers have discovered a new proliferation marker : the CAF-1 complex. Since deregulated cell proliferation is one of the most characteristic features of tumor cells, this discovery represents a breakthrough in the cancer field. The researchers from the... view more (2004-03-30)

IU informatics researchers throttle notion of search engine dominance
Search engines are not biased toward popular Web sites, and may even be egalitarian in the way they direct traffic.   view more (2006-08-08)

New Approach Required For Obtaining Informed Consent In Less-developed Countries
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight the difficulty of obtaining valid consent from people in less-developed countries who are about to participate in medical research. Few practical guidelines exist on how to ensure that research participants in less-developed... view more (2002-10-24)

Tech Creates More Compact, Inexpensive Spectrometer
