Slow brain waves play key role in coordinating complex activity
While it is widely accepted that the output of nerve cells carries information between regions of the brain, it's a big mystery how widely separated regions of the cortex involving billions of cells are linked together to coordinate complex activity.   view more (2006-09-15)

Brown Researchers Make Major Signal Transduction Discovery
The chemical process known as acetylation plays a central role in cytokine receptor signal transduction - a fundamental biochemical cascade inside cells that controls the activity of antiviral and tumor-suppressing genes.   view more (2007-10-05)

£5 Million Award for Pioneering Project to Train New Breed of Scientists
The University of Warwick has been awarded £5 Million from EPSRC (Engineering and Physical sciences Research Council) for a new Life-Sciences Doctoral Training Centre set to educate a new breed of scientists. The funds secure 50 student doctoral student projects on a new multidisciplinary... view more (2003-06-18)

Hopkins team develops first mouse model of schizophrenia
Johns Hopkins researchers have genetically engineered the first mouse that models both the anatomical and behavioral defects of schizophrenia, a complex and debilitating brain disorder that affects over 2 million Americans.   view more (2007-07-31)

Structural mechanism of the E. coli drug efflux pump AcrB
In a new study published online in the open access journal PLoS Biology, Gaby Sennhauser, Marcus Gruetter, and colleagues use structural biology techniques to probe the molecular mechanisms of the major drug efflux pump in E. coli AcrB.   view more (2006-12-27)

Changing the rings: a key finding for magnetics design
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) have done the first theoretical determination of the dominant damping mechanism that settles down excited magnetic states-"ringing" in physics parlance-in some key metals.   view more (2007-08-06)

Bacteria reveal secret of adaptation at Evolution Canyon
Bacteria living on opposite sides of a canyon have evolved to cope with different temperatures by altering the make-up of their 'skin', or cell membranes. Scientists have found that bacteria change these complex and important structures to adapt to different temperatures by looking at the... view more (2008-07-28)

New plant study reveals a 'deeply hidden' layer of the transcriptome
Cells keep a close watch over the transcriptome - the totality of all parts of the genome that are expressed in any given cell at any given time.   view more (2007-12-28)

UCLA physicists report advance toward nanotechy approach to protein engineering
UCLA physicists report a significant step toward a new approach to protein engineering in the June 8 online edition, and in the July print issue, of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.   view more (2006-06-12)

Fighting for their attention
Mating strategies are straightforward in bottlenose dolphins, or are they? Much of the work carried on male-female relationships in that species to date show that males tend to coerce females who are left with little choice about with whom to mate.   view more (2007-04-04)

Hammering sheet metal into shape
The tool at the pressing plant resonantly pounds the sheet metal, ejecting the newly formed vehicle hood moments later. Although this operation runs like clockwork on the production line, it caused the developers of the metal-forming equipment many a headache, since sheet metal springs back... view more (2003-02-20)

A fly's tiny brain may hold huge human benefits
Before swatting at one of those pesky flies that come out as the days lengthen and the temperature rises, one should probably think twice.   view more (2008-03-25)

Statistical Analysis of Complex data sets with Robust Statistical methods
Robust statistical analysis methods capable of dealing with large complex data sets are required more than ever before in almost all branches of science. The European Science Foundation's three-year SACD network, which was completed in December 2006, developed new methods for extracting key... view more (2007-04-12)

The human immune system may limit future evolution
Scientists from Imperial College London have suggested why the human genome may possess far fewer genes than previously estimated before the human genome project was begun. Research published in the July issue of Trends in Immunology, shows how a more advanced immune system in humans could explain... view more (2002-07-01)

DOES MY BMI LOOK BIG IN THIS?
What makes a woman`s body attractive? A new study at the University of Newcastle, to be published in the Proceedings B, a learned journal published by the Royal Society, indicates that it`s not so much the shape and the curves that matter but whether a woman`s weight looks right for her height. The... view more (2002-10-02)

ESA to search for life, but not as we know it
This week, astrobiologists are discussing what ESA`s Huygens spaceprobe might discover when it parachutes to the surface of Saturn`s mysterious moon, Titan, in 2005. Titan possesses a rich atmosphere of organic molecules, which Huygens will analyse. Recently some scientists have begun to think... view more (2002-09-19)

Study finds nerve damage in previously mysterious chronic pain syndrome
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found the first evidence of a physical abnormality underlying the chronic pain condition called reflex sympathetic dystrophy or complex regional pain syndrome-I (CRPS-I).   view more (2006-01-31)

Film-maker opens the doors of perception
Cutting-edge film-maker and artist, Nichola Bruce, has received a NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) fellowship of up to £75,000 to research and create, through digital media, a sketchbook of works looking at the themes of memory and how we see. Hastings-based... view more (2002-07-30)

Do fruit flies have free will?
Free will and true spontaneity exist - in fruit flies. This is what scientists report in a groundbreaking study in the May 16, 2007 issue of the open-access journal PLoS ONE.   view more (2007-05-16)

Precision optics hot off the press
Optical lenses have already become a mass product. They focus the bar code laser at the supermarket checkout, record pictures in cameras and mobile phones and control the transmission of data along fiber optic telecommunications cables. Automated production processes help to meet this... view more (2003-04-24)

Researchers reveal insights into hidden world of protein folding
The proteins upon which life depends share an attribute with paper airplanes: Unless folded properly, they just won't fly.   view more (2008-06-12)

Study provides evidence that autism affects functioning of entire brain
A recent study provides evidence that autism affects the functioning of virtually the entire brain, and is not limited to the brain areas involved with social interactions, communication behaviors, and reasoning abilities, as had been previously thought.   view more (2006-08-16)

Nespoli focuses on complex mission
Later this year ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli will serve as Mission Specialist on the STS-120 mission to the International Space Station. Together with the rest of the Shuttle crew, Nespoli is training intensively ahead of this complex ISS assembly mission.   view more (2007-03-19)

Evidence of rapid evolution is found at the tips of chromosomes
In terms of their telomeres, mice are more complicated than humans. That's the finding from a recent Rockefeller University study, which shows that mice have two proteins working together to do the job of a single protein in human cells.   view more (2006-08-02)

DNA replication behavior in complex organisms may foreshadow leaps in genomic discoveries
For the first time, findings by scientists at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) may be paving the way for more efficient analyses and tests related to the replication of cells, and ultimately, to the better understanding of human biology, such as in stem cell research.   view more (2007-08-16)
